The Eessington Gazette, in a calculation %.
Oh the Presidential question, sets down the nine
votes Of MAIyE a certain for Mr. Crawford
we still fancy that may depend in some degree
upon the determination OF a considerable por.
lion OF the qualified voters in this State who

Albany Argus, and other leading papers in the
interest of Mr. Crnicfor3 mention Messieurs
Gage and ChGdtCiok, who have been proposed
as electors at large for this State as being pledg
ed to give their votes for Mr.. Crawford Ii i
very probable that this has been 50 understood
But all that can be said with certainty per-
haps Is, that they were not nominated by the
friends Of Mr. adams, and consequently will not
receive their support

were holden at different places on the same

NORFOLK, July 81.

General IL Fayette.-The enthusiastic feel
ing excited throughout our country by the con-
tempiated visit ofthis great good man, affords the
best evidence that could be desired of the sub
stantial virtue and rnagnanimity of our people,
and their undertaking attachment TO those prn-
ciples which constitute the basis of our inv alua-
Bile political institutions. Every day multiplics
these grateful assurances of the fixed dcternn-
alton OF Americans to transmit the rich inhcri-
lance which has descended to them, unimpaired
to their children. Gratitude is certainly one of
the best tests of moral honesty, and the offering
OF affection and respect which is made from eve
ry part of the Republic to their great benefac-
tor La Eayetfe, is conclusive evidence that eve
ry American is strongly imbued with this Hea-
ven-born principle.
The proceedings of the Citizens of York
Town, on this occasion, published below, we
hail with the lvcliest pleasure.-proceedne
from the spot consecratcd by the virtue and va
lour of WASHINGTON and La FAYETTE,
they wildly recall the gallant, the daring, the
gigantic achievements of those Heroes and Pa
triots, whose names are associated with every
thing good and great in the history of our Re-
volution.
