Extract IF q letter TO tie Editor Of the .Nc,o
Yo'1e Patriot dated Albany, august 4.
You will have seen the vote in the Senate
on the adjournment. There is an arrangement
at bottom, To the final disposition of the votes
of the State, which will CRAFTY your wishes
but, agree with you, that no prospective adj
vantage can Justify the abandonment, for mo-
ment, of cardinal principle of Democracy.
The TACT is, that in all the eaucusses ofthe junto,
they give up Mr.. Cra.rford-and saw only
preserve the Republican Party-iispese of the
votes of the State in such manner as may best
coniuce to the interests of the Party, according
to the opinion of majority of yourselves-whe-
Their it be for Mr.. CLAY. Mr. ADAMS or Mr.
CRAwfoRn-and we shall cordially concuf."-
they do not appear to be aware that no party,
not even the Republican party can stand, but
upon principle that, however good the objects
they may have in view, if they sacrifice vital
principle in the course (such as that of the e
lectoral right of the People) they must break
10 pieccs-lhough they may effect Temporal
ry good. When such men as Baf I17tecle,.
VI'intyre and Nelson, voted for adjournment
you have supposed that the main object was
secured: but must say that the only men of
principle remaining in the Senate, are OG-
Observation-Disclosures and CLARR.n
NEwYoRK, August 4.
The proceedings of the day were highly in
teresting, and the debate was conducted with
propriety, and upon one side was marked by
great ability. All the champions of the Peo-
Pies Rights acquitte. themselves handsomely:
but we would specially mention the names of
Messrs. Whiting, Gardiner, Finch, ami Gen.
Tailmadge. MIR. Finch is an honest plain
farmer, from the county of Orange, who has
many years represented that patriotic county
IN the House of Assembly. HIS language is
not marked with that smoothness and elegance
which marks the educated and finished orator
But he nevertheless, speaks to the understand
ing and the heart. His is the strong, bold and
forcIble language of honesty and truth, and he
produced visible aud powerful effect. it
may, perhaps, appear invidious, where all ac-
quilted themselves so well, TO speak thus of in
dividuals. But we cannot forbear mentioning
the splendid effort of Gen. Tallnadge. His man
ner is graceful and his elocution clear and dis
tnct; and his argument on this occasion one
of the most conclusive ones that we haze
ever listened to. He cut up the poor lit
tie forlorn hope of the Regency, root and
branch, and perhaps with too little mercy. For
ut times, when he was pouring forth strong tor
rents of invective, or letting fly from his well
stored culver the keen arrows of wit and satire,
the poor fellows sat writing and twisting like
eels upon bed of embers. The Generals
speech will be published at length hereafter,
and although very long, still it will be read with
interest, and have glod effect, as it had In the
House yesterday.
Our readers will have perceived from the
course taken by the Junto- ocracy that il is t,ei
| object not to meet the question presented fo
their consideration, fairly. They fear the in
dignation of their constituents, and they feal
the Junto. Hence they wish to avoid as tnucf
responsibility as possible, and to evade and shuf
ile off the main question. The Senate, moreo.
yer, do not wish longer to bear all the honor OF
defeating the wishes Of the people, and have en-
deavored 10 divide it with the House by means
of the joint resolutions which were Yesterday
laid on the table. But it will not do. The cause
of the people is gathering strength hourly,
and from the vote of last evening, we feel well
''toe the mark, )" before the sun goes down this
day. The result will be that the whole RESPONSE
biiity Of rejecting the Electoral bill, will again
be cast upon the Senate; and the house will then
probably adjourn, since nothing further can be
done.
Much, however, has been gained by the Peo-
pie. Their representatives have been brought
directly to the point, & will hereafter be known
The foes of the bill have been striving har,f To
shield Themselves nv a nfr Il
der, forms and ceremonies. But these rules and
orders are of their own making, and the People
vel. know that they can be amended, modified
suspended or done away at pleasure. The CO.
vering is therefore too thin To answer the pur-
pose. As Mr.. Finch by a rude, though strong,
figure of speech, remarked yesterday the
People will see through il as plainly as they can
look throug'' ladder with the rungs two feet
apart"
The result thus far, is very far from crafty
ing to the friends Of Mr.. Crawford. They be-
gin to sec that they have been greatly nsCalc,,-
| laiing their strength The members of the AL
bany Regency attend the proceedings daily,
aud watch every movement narrowly They
were most severely handled, however, bv Mr.
Finch and Gen. Talnadge, and several of them
looked as though they would much rather have
been at home. MIR. Van Buren, looks quite sor-
rowful, as his orders were to adjourn on Monday
or Tuesday, at farthest. The goody phiz OF
i'Noah has undergone a marvellous change, for
while II has experienced surprising elongation
scarcely smile now plays upon his whome
Jolly features.--Com. .9dcertiscr.
