New YoRK ELEcTIoN-Ihe entire returns OF
the late election in the state of New York are pub
lished in the Albany and City papers. They differ
very widely in their estimate Of the relative strength
of Presidential parties among the members elect
The national Advocate gives the counties and their
delegates, in detail, and makes, from the best infor
nation it can obtain, the following hypothesis of
their political complexion:
In favor OF Mr.. Adams. So
In favor of Gen. Jackson, 46
Doubtful 27
The Advocate premises this statement with the
remark that it is '' difficult to give perfect list.
when the elections in the several counties have SO
generally been conducted without reference to that
question When the Jackson Editors disagree
among themselves as to the result in several coun-
ties, and many of the members refuse to commit
themselves on the subject of the Presidency, it is
impossible to say which party will have tine majority
in the House of Assembly. The Jackson candi-
dates for the Senate, adds the Advocate have sue
ceeded in six districts, in most cases Tor want OF
mnistration In the fourth and eight districts the
Administration candidates have succeeded by over
wheming majorities.''
In regard to illegal votes given at the election in
the city, the Advocate of Thursday last says, The
keeper of tavern and boarding house in Spring
street has called upon us and left his name, with
the name of an elector, and pledges himself to
prOve that the SAID eeCtOr VOeu the JacNsuh tich-
ct three times at the last election in this city,"

the purpose of appointing Delegates to meet in this
city, on the Goth Of December, ensuing, to form an
Electoral Ticket 1t is true. North Carolina voted
for General Jackson at the last Presidential Electon;
but it is equally true that the friends of Mr.. Adams
contributed largely to effect that object We con-
lidenty believe that. six moths ago, completely
was the empire of the public mind usurped by pas
sion and prejudice, that even truth itself would have
been found mpotent in contest with them. But

Every mail confirms our impressions that the re-
suit of the election in the state of New York; though
by no means as favorable to the cause Of Gen Jack
son as his advocates would have believe, was not
in consequence of the opinions of the people of that
state on the Presidential question. The Buckta'l
party, as usual, elected majority of their cand'-
dates and Bucktail generally voted for auckta'l'
leaving Jackson and Adams out of the ques-
ton in the state election. In national question
voting for presidential eectors-the case Will
be far otherwise, unless party discipline is more
pertect there than we have ever known it to be any
where. Notwithstanding, in designating his Buck
tail candidates, Mr.. Van Buren, deserves we'll OF

of strength in great state, decided majority OF
