The expiration of a year is not from noon to midnight, but from noon to noon, it is so, astronomically, by the law of nature. The time at whicli a day shall commence and terminate is a matter altogether arbitrary and conventional. Some nations have, in their civil compulation, commenced the day at sunrise, and some at sunset — some at midniiiht, and some at noon. Astronomers and navigators always reckon the day from noon to noon; and why should not the constitutional computation of time follow ...the same law, which is the law of nature? The principle once establii^hed, could be attend- ed with no sort of inconvenience; whereas the compulation from noon to midnight must be subjected once every two years to a solution of continuity for twelve hours by tlie non-existence of a House of Representatives, and once in everv fuur years to an interregnum or vacancy in the office of Presi- dent of the United Stales. Emergencies might easily be foreseen, perhaps even precontrived, in which either of those events would be a'ttended with very creat public inconvenience.
