From the New-York American, Aug. 7.
Extract Of a letter from one Of the Editors, dated
.4bany, august 6.
The vote in The House yesterday, fol.
lowing up that Of the preceding day, and
by an increased majority, has scattered
the ranks OF the enemy. They are in
confusion and disnay, irretrievable.
Though, through the corrupt com bina
ton in the Senate, the people will be de
franded OF their electoral rights in the
choice OF President, their wishes will be
sliil fulfilled, for yesterdays vote sealed
Mr.. Crawford's doom in this state.
His whole strength, his utmost strength
in the House, is comprised within, and
limited by A. Allowing all that can be
claimed for him in the Senate, 90 or 25,
il they please, he cannot get the MAORI
ty in Joint ballot. His race is therefore
run, as far as the votes Of New Jerk are
concerned, and though his friends have
been able TO defeat great principle and
to put upon record their votes against
the people, II is c onsoling to reflect that
they have thus exposed themselves to
lasting odium in vain, for they will be
defeated still in their main object To
those who have fought the good fight in
the House and in the Senate, the pblic
will not be ungratefuf. Without emu
meraling others, l must say the speech
OF General Tallmage was delivered with
force and effect such as l have moi OIL
ten seen equalled.
Ofthc conduct of Lieutenant Cover.
nor Root and his myrmidons in The Sc
nate, yesterday afternoon, il is impossible
to speak with patience. The concur
rent resolution having been sent to that
body. they met Ut s O'Clock to receive it.
Alter it was read, the Lieutenant Go.
vernon rose in his place. as steadily as he
could, (it was after dinner and under
the pre,ence Of assigning reasons for his
decision, that the resolution from the
assembly was on, Of order, he delivered
an indecent and insolent philippe.
against the Governor, the Assembly,
and all others. 1t was regular caucus
speech, and in caucus might not have
been out Of place or disgraceful. l was
surprised that no Senator called him 10
order. for be wsscsrtainly a much dis.
