VIRGINIA AND TIE PRESIDENCY.

That the last Legislature anticipated the pro-
liability that 1T might become necessary for Yir-
ginia to designate, second choice for the Pre-
sidency, we think is apparent from the alteration
that was made in the time of the meeting of the
General Assembly. This alteration was avow-
cdy made, that the Legislature might be in scs-
sion when the Electors assembled i'm Richmond
and although the prctext aleiged was, TO
supply vacancies which death or accident might
occasion in the College, yet it is probable thai
the more serious motive was TO be ready to meet
any contingency that might arise. If for in
stance, 1T should be apparent that Mr.. Crawford
could neither be elected by the Electors, or
Congress, that the Legislature might then Sc
lcct some other individual TO prevent the cleo
ton of Gen. jackson, and to bcstow the vote of
the STATE where it could be f.3lt, and would prove
most beneficial to the common interest.
We arc persuaded that this contingency will
happen, and that in the course of this wear, it
will become obvious that .Ur. Crawford cannot
be elected. Whom the Legislature would then
nttr'se the electors 10 support, is question as
important and interesting as the first selection
Of an individual. All are agreed that it would
not be Gen. Jackson, and the question is con-
fined to Jfessrs. Adams and Clay.
Several reasons induce us to think that mr..
Clay would be postponed. The first IS, that the
vote of the State would be as completely thrown
away upon him, as lift were given TO .Er. Craw-
ford--for nc is supported in none OF tie Atlantic
states, and in three or four only, of tic .Hisss-
| sippI States. III the second place. las active
