During the whoie morning the most in.
! tense anxiety had becn manifested by the
people collected in Albany, and the gale
rirs aud lobbies were crowded almost To
suHocatinn. When the result Of the vote
was known, the question was considered
a. decided, aud hundreds Of spectators re
tired, happy in the reflection that the state
mas safe, and that the Regency WAS again
and for the last lime overihrown.-But in
this they were, for the present at least, dis
appointed. One of Roots questions of or
der again arose. As President Of the Sc
nate, he was also President of the Conren
ton of the two Houses, aud In announcing
the result, he declared the seven gentlemen
last namcd To he duly elected; but refused
To decide rs To the first, who had 10 aud
~ votes, under the ,prntenoe that the blank
votes should be countcd aud if they were
counted, the IS would not have n majority.
Mr.. Tallmadge commended that the whole
thirty three were duly elected and in this
he was supported by Messrs, Barstow,
Wheaton, Whiting, Cunningham, Mcclure,
and Warren, OF the Assembly and Messrs.
Ogden, Burt, and Clark, OF the Senate
itoot still refused 10 decide whether the -
were elected or not, and finally proposed
that the Senate withdraw To their Cham
her, aud consider the question separately.
This course was objected 10 from all quar-
tiers, and Il stormy debate scnFusd, which
continued until five O'Clock. 1t was CON
tended that the choice was made, & that the
President was bound SO Ia give his decision
that the two bodrs were merged in one,

met .or final agreement; and that il they
now parted, they would meet no more
The only answer WAS n motion for the Sc

clearly, distinctly & that when assembled in

further, that the blanks were not votes,

that the question was u doubtful one, and
! the members wanted time for consideration.
! Several motions were made to proceed To
second ballot: but the president, MS il to
MI the measure of lnlquity, refused to re-
ceive any motions. After tnuch passion
aud sfccchlfying, Root left the chair, and
called on the Senate 10 follow him To the
Senate Chamber, when Sudan, Bovine,
/ Strauahan, and others Of the Immortal Sc
ventcen, obeyed the mandate, and follow

ton WAS made To proceed to ballot for
the remaining four Electors, and to cons-
der those members who had retired merely

made of placing another President in the
chair. de was denounced in the strong

confusion ensued, which one of our cores
pondents says it was impossible for him TO
describe. The feelings of the people in the
galleries and lobby could not be restrained,
and while thunders or applause attended

their feelings of just indignation were ut
