Forty for Crawford-Thirty seven for CLAY
1t is not expected that Mr. Crawford will get
another Electoral vote from any quarter of the
Union-on the contrary, Clay calculates upon
Missouri 3, Indiana 7, possibly some from llli-
nois and Louisiana If Mr.. Clay therefore can
get four votes more, from any quarter, he goes
into the House of Representatives, ahead of
MIR. Crawford-and Adams, Jackson, and CLAY,
will be the three to- be chosen from. This is
most disastrous termination indeed of Mr.
Crawlord's once fair prospects; let him blame
the imprudence andintenperance of his friends.
No caucus, and his chance had heen the best.

Crawford and Ciay.-The course Of events at
Albany, has drawn limo of impossible division
between these gentlemen. Mr.. Crawford's
friends will not forgive MIR. Claws, for losing him
the vote of that State-Yet they were irving TO

question was, who should be returned tn the
House of Representatives. Was ii reasonable in

the Clay party in New York. and openly avows
his determination to support Jackson after Craw-

can rally the Democracy of the Union, besides
Mr.. Crawford. The last spring Noah called
Jackson federalist, and published hi,fy-thrce
reasons, why he should not be President. We
expect to see all the Crawford Presses perfo rn
the same somerset.
