NEW VIEWS.

We were probably too hasty in exclu ding
Mr.. Clay from the House of Representative
We did so, under belief that he had lost Ohio.
and not expecting or dreaming that he would
get vote in New York. The probab ility is
ao,O, that Mr.. Crawford will be excluded. for
it is certain that he has lost n. Carolina, whilst
it is almost certain that Clay has gained Ohio
Give Ohio to Clay, and let us have recourse to
Enures.

SETTLED AT LAST

The vote of New York is at last determined-25
Tor Adams for Clay for Crawford !-Previ-
gus events had prepared us for favourable result
US 1t related to Mr.. Adams. He had within as
many friends as Mr.. Crawford, in the legislature:
win the people of the state of New York, lac was
more popular than any of the candidates. His friends
pursued u firm, digni6ed, and honorable course.
iney voted for their man throughout, and for no
otnef-and their success was produced at Mst, by
Questioning to them, unsolicited and unpur-
chased. Their success for these reasons is doubly
gratifying to their political friends, aud the fairness
and honor of their ought disarm their OPP
ponents ofasperily and deprive defeat of its morti-
hcation.
We refer to the Domestic head for eopous de-
tai OF events at Albany. The hesitation of General
Root to pronounce the 25 Adams Electors elected
seems to us reasonable and proper. In Virginia
thsy would not have been elected under the same
circumstances, IN consequence however, of positive
regulation The confirmation of the election by the
Senate, is proof of isinterested moderation,
which we had scarcely expected from that body.

PREsIpENTiAB ELECTION

PRESIDENTIAE ELECTION
Oalo-0FFicIAL RETuRxs.-By the
mail OF last night from the west we have
received official accounts Of the result
OF the Presidential election Ia Ohio. In
the Columbus Gazette tthe paper prin-
ted at the seat of Government in Ohiol
we find the proclamation Of the Cover

The aggregate official returns ofvotes
taken from the Office of the Secretary Of

LEIGH REGISTER, of Friday last-"We
give below, as far as officially certified
the returns from different Counties, of
the election. for Electors of President
and Vice President. Though ii is inn
possible to say, with certainty, who will
receive the vote of the state, from the
returns received, it is highly probable,
that it will be given 10 Gen. jackson,
should the extreme western counties
turn out as generally as is contempla-
ted. If however, the General should
succeed in this State, ii must be by<a
very small majority, and he will owe
his success to the friends OF Mr.. Adams
as without their cooperation, the Craw-
ford Ticket would have prevailed
There bave not been less than or 5000
votes given in this state by the friends
Of Mr.. Adams, to the jackson Ticket
whilst the majority for the latter Ticket
should il succeed, must we think fall
short OF one thousand Many of these
voters have expressed their preference
for Mr. Adams upon their tickets.o

THE CHESS BOARD.


One cannot suppress a smile at the
sage which have been ventured about
the pending election. We are free to
confess that we come in for our full
share of the sport--and that we are in
this particular no ''prophets in our own
country"
First, Mr.. Adams was considered as
''hos.s de comba:''-but he contrived by
some happy strokes of bis pen to write
himself upland now he is the I'd man
upon the Electoral ticket. But as" Tom
and Jerry" says, his quill is always sup
on the frst'-and perhaps he may yet
discover "that it has 4ndo,ae all that it has
DONE"
Another move upon the chessboard--
and General jackson was brought out.
The conjuring-stick was again seized -
and loi il was pronounced that he might
win the vote of Tennessee, and there
he might stop-but that he certainly was
out of The question. Behold the fulfil
ment Of the prophecy! Gen. }. is at
this time the foremost nan in the ballot
boxes.
Another move on the chessboard---
Mr.. Clay was pronounced to be ho's de
combat; but Mr. Clay's friends valiantly
kept the field, and at this time he stands
some chance of reaching the Fl. of r.
If lie does lose ii, it will principally be
the loss of the vote of Ohio, which he,
and all his friends, and all the prophets,
had considered as unquestionably his
own.
All this time, Mr.. Crawford was coii-
sidered the strongest man before the
people--in N. York and n Carolina as
certainly the favorite; but so singularly
has the game gone, that he has lost both
these states, in which, singl handed, he
was probably able to cope and to defeat
any of his competitors.
The friends of MIR. Adams chuck.e
very much at the result in these states.
But if we may venture to turn prophets
again, we should say that they had bet
ter reserve the expression of their Joy,
until MIR. A. has passed the goal He
,riH scarcely be the President Of the u.
States.
Who will be, it is impossible to pre-
dict with any sort Uncertainty. IfCraw-
ford reaches the House, he must look
for assistance from the friends OF Clay.
If Clay reaches it, he must look to the
friends of Crawford III jackson finally
succeeds, he must depend upon rcusing
the spirit of the West; and tten by the
aid of his States on the sea-board, and
one or two Crawford States, he will
make out the magic number i9.
