Room President of the Joint Meeting, declared
the gentlemen first named duly elected, they
having majority of all the persons who had

In The meeting, and desired their direction
This occasl"ned protracted and rather dis
orderly dscu-sisn the friends of Mr.. Ad ,ms
insisting that those al their ticket les in num-
ber) who had received 70 votes, wer. dulr
elected, and some gentlemen maintaining the
Opposite opinion. The audience in the lol,bies
and gallery assumed the prrrogaiivr, which has
lately become fashionable in this place, of
Missing. stamping. &c. when the latter doc rine
was advanced, and of clipping and cheering
the friends of MIR. Adams. Several motions
were made, some Of which were poi, AID
others declared out Of order, unt;i. at length,
G"D. Root aud n,riorify of The Senslors
retired 10 the Senate Chamber; and the As
semh'y soon after adjourned without taking
any rntc on the subject.
:" Here the matter rests for the PRESENT.
VIVA; VIII be- result cannot he predicted with
certainty. My own impression, however. is,
that ihe'two liDusrs will tn morrow override
The opiolnn inimntcd by Gen. Root, (which !
incl'nr to think is erroneous though certainly
pi'usihlr,, and will declare the 7 and the o.
day elected. II this is done, they will I'm,
mediately proceed 10 the choice of the re.
naming four, in which we have Il fair prosppc,
Of success.
Thus, yon will perceive that the friends o
Clay, after all, have given TO Mr.. Adams tho
Siincipai partofihe vote of this great State. Tb,
seven gentlemen elected from The Crawfnrt
ticket, were nominated as dec idedly f,vorahl,
to the election ofthai gentleman, and we have
no good reason 10 Doubt the fidelity of any
one of them. Nevertheless, it is proper {,
mention that some, or all Of them, are cIsmpt
ny the friends Of Mr.. Clay. We aisD infer
from the course pursued to-day, that An un
derstandIng may exist that part off the Adams
ticket shall vote for Mr.. Clay hut on rhi
eead we have no positive information.
In regard to the rumor that the seven sue.
cessinl Electors on the Senate's ticket are
favorable to MIR. Clay. another private lete,
from Albany Says The friends of Mr.. Cha,
express hopes that = part say three. Of IN.
| seven, viii vote for hiin, bnt consider III,
hnpe ridiculous. One Of the ,hrag is now If
This place, and yesterday stated his deterni
nation to vote for Crawford, If elected. Tn,
friends of the other tico are pledged fer them.
