hat the Atoms ticket. will. be elected This
morning.. or this era wford gentleman told
ns this mnrniog. there could be no doubt. Hr
eft Albany yesterday, add says il was conced-
I'D on all hands that Mr.. Crawford's friends
had out managed themselves, and that the
Adams Electors would be chosen by So votrs
on joint ballot. Thus matters stood at 10
o'clock yesterday morning, and ere now the
question. may have been decided.

A Gentleman who left New York on Sum
day informs us that he conversed with a gem
tlemau in that city who had left ALBANY on
Saturday morning, and who stated that there
was to be joint ballot for electors either on
Saturday afternoon or this day. II this infor-
NATION be well founded we have right to
conclude that the House Of Assembly a. well
MS the Senate, has agreed upon an electoral
ticket. we presume the Adams ticket. This
reduces the result to a narrow focus. The
Legislature, in this case will elect an entire
Crawford. or an entire Adams ticket. - Which
shall he elected must depend upon the votes
Of the members friendly to Mr.. Clay. w.
cannot donbt but they will brefer the Craw-
ford ticket .
Every rumour from Albany is eagerly
| sought after How much more anxiousjy. in
| few weeks shall we seek after every indica-
ton Of public opinion at Washington.
Phil Press
dent and Vice President, have been examined
by The Governor and Council. The whole
number Of votes, legally returned, were
37,ess. The Hon. William Gray had 80, 687,
and the others on the Adams ticket nearly the
same number. Hon. William Baylies, had
66l6, and the others on the unpledged ticket
varied from $685. TO 57i6. Six towns made
no return-six towns made their returns too
late, and five were rejected for informality.-
Had these last eleven returns been admitted,
they would have given an addition of els TO
the Adams tickef,a and Of 2i9 to the ticket in
opposition. Boston Par.
PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS.
WAsHiNGTON, November 17.-While this
subject continue involved in doubt, it will
occupy all minds, and must, of course, form
the prominent subject Of our daily notice
md, as So much depends ON the course which
the state of New York shall adopt, the It'd
ings from that quarter possess the greatest
share Of interest. We, therefore, give first to
our readers the news which orr letters by
yesterdays mail brought us from Albany
| On Friday, Dir. FoIet one Of the friends of
That the Adams Ticket of Electors be nomi-
mated by the House, stating that the friends
of Mr.. Crawford Intended to vote for that tic
ket for the purpose Of bringing the two Hou-
ses into joint meeting, and making AN election
of Electors Of the State without further pro-
| crastination. This motion was vehementIy
opposed by the friends of Mr.. Clay, and a de-
bate ensured, which consumed the remainder
of :hs day, without getting the question:
Our correspondent had no doubt that the vote
would be taken on Saturday, and the Adams
ticket nominated on the part Of the House
and that the two Houses, (disagreeing, as they
consequently would in their respective tick
ets,) would meet together on Monday, and
make final decision. This decision he had
| no doubt would be 10 favor of Mr.. Crawford.
Nat Int.
| 10 late number of the New York Ameri-
| can, which some POI son has sent To us, We
| find il remarked, that ait does not appear
that Mr.. Crawford has received single
| VOTE in the state I" of Ohio" Do the editors
infer from this, that Mr.. G.. has no friends in
| Ohio, or is ,h.is renxrk disingenuous att
tempt To- induce others, by insinuai,on. to
hrleve what they kaow to be untrue Mr.
Crawford received no votes in Ohio because
his friends in that state did not think it worth
| while TO offer ticket for him tn the suffra-
ges of the people there. But we can, ne YER
theless, telf the editors Of the AMERICAN that
MIR. Craw ford has numerous friends in that
state who would readily vote To place him
in the highest Office within their gift and WI
can tell them further. that, ofthuse citizens
of the state of Ohio, who have flied stations
in the national councils, and thereby been
placed in situations where they were enable d
10 appreciate his merits there is an public
nan IN this Union who enjoys the confidence
and respect of 80 large portion of them as
Mr.. C.Sdoes. This is high praise, considering
the character Of the men with whom the com
parison would be made, and Of those in par.
tlcuiar who are the competitors cf Mr.. e..
for the highest honor; but such is the fact
and it will not be disputed by any whose
opportunities have enabled them to Judge Of
1 IT'S truth. As well might the American take
the few scattering votes given for Mr. CLAY
in Virginia, as The test of that geniIemanis
popularity in that state where his friends
formed no ticket for him, believing il would
be unvailing, but where it is known he has
numerous friends, many Of then distinguish
ed for talents and public esteem. Or as well
might IL take as u test ofthe standing of Gen.
eraI Jackson in the state Of New York. the
absence Of any ticket for him In the T.eeisla-
fure Of that state. The remark ofthe 4 me-
rIcan therefore, was idle and siIy. or j, was
disingenuous. RIB.
