The Boston Pxtrio, publishes, with exul,a
ton, the votes in Portsmouth for Electors,
where Moses White had only 10 Nahum
Parker les votes, as evidence how unpopular
IN this state IL any man suspected to be friend
~ to the election Of Mr.. Crawford. The
Patriot may say further, that. notwithstand-
ing Mr.. White was prescribed in both the
Portsmouth and nearly every federal paper
IN the State. he is chosen EiectOr by al least
three fourths of the votes Hon. Jonathan
Harvey was also denounced as Craw forditr,
we believe, in every paper of the State ex-
eepting the New Hampshire Patriot. Yet
Mr.. Harvey runs higher on the list than any
other republican Candidate whose election is
contested in the returns receiv ed from the first
SO towns!
The election in this State on Monday last
was less generally attended than we have
Known on any former occasion. The uncer-
ta'nty OF the result will not be surprising when
the fact Is considered that less than one fourth
OF the electors attended the polls; aud IL the
active exertions Of minority shall have sue
cerded IN two or three instances either in elect
ing their candidates, or preventing choice,
this circumstances cannot be tortured into an
indication of anylpolitcal change in favor ol
that minority. Il may be safely avdrred,
thas every candidate is elected whose friends
have succeeded in procuring for him one
eighth Of the votes which might have been
cast in the State.

WASHINGTON, November l6.--The Legis-
lat,re Of New York again rests on its oars.
On Thursday last, the lower House proceeded
To make another trial for the choice Of an Eirc-
toral Ticket, when the result was, with the
exception OF single voice, the same as on
"Wednesday. Subsequently to the meeting
which took place on Wednesday evening
had been concluded by majority of tn
friends OF Mr.. Crawford To Observation-Disclosures
from Ohio before the state of things should be
changed in the way agreed on the preceding
evening. This determination nigh: possibly
defer final decision until this week but the
Albany Argus. of Friday, was Of opinion tha
the question would be settled on that day oI
Saturday. Our letters from Albany Ieiierate
the confident belief that the entire vote Of the
State will, e'entually, be given to Mr.. Craw-
lord. This opinion derives strength from, an
assertion Of the last New York Statesman
paper furiously opposed TO Mr.. Crawford
one OF whose editors is at Albany, that abun
thirty Of Mr.. Clay's friends are prepared to
vote Tor Mr.. Crawford if they cannot carry
tneir own ticket. Nat. Int.
