, STATE POLITICS.

RHoDE-lsLAND.-The Legislature of this
State, on the I'd inst. reelected Ashur Rob-
bins TO the United States Senate, for the
term Of six years from the 4th Of March next,
without opposition.
NEw-YoRK.-The election for Governor,
Members of Assembly, and of Congress, COM
monced in this State on the 9th inst. and clos
es this day. For Governor it will be warmly
contested, but it is probable that Gov. Clinton
will be reelected. 10 relation to the general
politics of the State, we quote the following
article from the Commercial Advertiser,
Clintonian paper:
PoLITIcs OF NEW YoRK--A number Of the
papers out Of the State are sorely puzzled 10
comprehend the apparently entangled politics
Of this State, and some of the good people
within do not exactly understand them. But
with those who watch "the signs of the
times" nothing is more easy of explanation.
The difficulty has been chiefly occasioned by
the nomination of Mr.. Rochester, by the Her
kmer Convention. After all that has been
said and done, by the leaders of the Tammany
party, against the administration OF Mr.. Ad.
ans, it was hardly to have been expected that
they would have nominated decided Adams
man for the office of Governor. But there is
no mystery about this concern. In the first
place, The people of this State are so decidedly
an favor Of the national administration,
that both the Utica and Herkmer Convention
were, by strong majorities, Of the same politics.
They differed only in regard 10 our State af-
fairs; and 10 neither of them could an anti
Adams man, as such, have been nominated.
Ii IL L
personal adherents, were opposed to any NOM
nation for Governor by the i1erkimer Con-
vention. lest the election should become so
animated as to call out all the electcrs-in
which case legislature would inevitably be
chosen which would not return MIR. V. b. to
the U. S. Senate. 1t was found, however,
that Mr.. V. B. could not control that conven-
ton, and it therefore became necessary to
play new game. This was no less than to
nominate as decided an Adams man as could
be found, and then,by representing Gov. Gin
ton and his friends as opposed to Mr.. Adams,
and in favor of General Jackson, create, if
possible, diversion against him. For it re-
qures but half AN eye to see that no man,
hoWerer popular an other respects, can be elect
ed Governor Of this Slate, al the present time,
as The known and apoa0ed opponent Of the ia
tiOnat administration. Here, then, we have
the true key TO the nomination of Mr.. Roch-
ester"
OHIo.-SufIicient returns have been receiv-
ed from all the districts of this State to deter
mine that twelve members Of Congress, favor
able to the Administration, are elected, and
two Jacksonites only. In the present Con-
sfess there are four jackson men from Ohio.
KENTUcKY.--The election for members Of
Congress in Kentucky has not yet taken place,
and there is no means Of ascertaining, at this
distance, the relative state of parties. We
think, however, there is no doubt OF there be-
ing strong majority on the side of the Admin
istration. At the Presidential election the
vote Of the State was given to j. @. Adams,
and the last Argus, the leading Jackson pa
per, says, that " since that time there has bee
wonderful aOheeling TO The right about, among
the lawyers and dignitaries of the land,n IN
favor OF the Administration. This charge il,
repelled by some on the other side, by saying
that, although as between Adams and Clay,
the latter was their favorite yet, as between
Adams and Jackson, they always preferred.
