II Is admitted, however, that the result
might bc dfilcrent were the friends of Mr..
Crawford Ia lArow the weight of thrlr
innurnce in favor Of Gen. Jackson--hut
there i good reason 10 believe that The
stale If Virginia had rather place the deali-
nlcs Of the country in the huds Of Mr.
Adams, than in the haads of Gen. Jackson
and that New ork has the SAME feeling
there Is moi the shadow Of a doubt.
IL the above statements | have taken II
for granted that Mr.. Adams Is first in New
York, and seeond in Pennsylvania and VII
ginia, aud that this feall5 the fact, will
not be do,d,trd by any man WHO has taken
the necessary trouble to acquire accurate
information on the subject.
IfVirgi Tia be drsirous that a contest in
the House of Representative should be

prevent it--and Why should she not PIE

True il is, Mr. Crawford il her own son
and il is natural tint shr shold be parllnI

nimity of this great and patriotic state 10
sacrifice her state partidllty IN the altar of
the national veal. weHld ask her il the

PRESIDENTIAL NESTS.-Wcco copy
the following article from the NV York
papers Of Tuesday last =" Messrs. }. &
+. Hone S. Company SID yesterday by
auction a large quantity of black silk vest
ngs, lately imported from France, stamped
with pretty correct likrncss,s of several oi
the candidates for the presidcncN,n ith their
names printed hencath their bl,sts. The
quality of the goods WAS very nearly the
samr; and the difference in price may
therefore be taken as political thrrmonr-
ter, indicating the degree of zeal felt by the
pariizlnS OF the several competitors. -
Washington was struck of at 81 - the
yard lay at 81 G24 Jackson al 81 81! {;
and Adams nj 50 -. The bids became ia
some measure local. Jackson went To
Philadelphia and Bdlhmorc Adams to the
east, and Clay to the west; but as New
York has not yet fully made up her mind
on the presidential question, noe hut The
UnsLRgton pattern remained IN the city,
although some Of the others might doubt
less have found ready market
