The Federalists made no nomination, but supported Rufus King, one of their old national candidates, and scattered their few votes for Vice-President, no two of the three States voting for the same candidate. Indiana had adopted a State Constitution in June, but was not formally admitted to the Union until the 11th of December, after the Presidential election had been held. The State, however, had voted for President, and elected three Republican electors for Monroe, but an animated dispute arose in Congress about counting the vote, because of the alleged ineligibility of Indiana to vote for President when not formally admitted into the Union, even though the people had adopted a State Constitution several months before the election. The two bodies separated, to enable the House to decide the issue, but finally the question was postponed by a nearly unanimous vote, and the Senate invited to return, when the vote was declared as follows: ══════════════╤═════════════╦═══════════════════════════════════════════ │ PRESIDENT. ║ VICE-PRESIDENT. ├───────┬─────╫─────────┬───────┬─────┬─────────┬───────── STATES. │James │Rufus║Daniel D.│John E.│James│John │Robert G. │Monroe,│King,║Tompkins,│Howard,│Ross,│Marshall,│Harper, │Va. │N.
