mat as the General is a citizen Of slave holtin

a non slave holding state. There are eyiden

dom and due reference 10 circumstances
The state Of New York has deep interest in
the acts OF the general government. Her extern
sive connexions and numerous population entitle
hrr TO great consideration. Her numerical force
too' makes her an Important acquisition to a polit-
ical compact. Formerly electing electors by her
1fe isiaure she gave mos, effective vote, but in
1879 she was led TO adopt a district system, by
which in all probability her strength will be diyid
ed amongst opposing candidates.
10 obtain the support of at least part of this
state, will no doub, be within the policy of III.
friends ut Gen. Jackson. II is true, that Without
any OF the votes of this state he may be elected
but with any material number of these he can
scarcely fail. If then secure success il should
be advisable to select citizen Of the State of N
York as V. President, doubt this measure will
be adopted. The question naturally preseots itself
who shall this citizen be;
IL is now evident that the party of New York
which in 1924 - were successfully opposed by
the extraordinary combinations that sustained Mr.
Adams at that period, have now by the defeat of
that federation regained their ascenIancv in the
Sta'e Legislature IL is also certain that the late
congressional elections resulted in turning deci-
ded majority to the 20 h Congress, oppo-edto Mr..
Adams, and it seems recorded in the late message
OF governor linton, that he stands arraved against
the views and policy OF The present national adj
l. II no. then within the range of
probabilities, that understanding will take place
between the immediate adherents of MIR. Clinton
and the Cd Democratic or Buck,ail party, on the
subject OF the impending contest! Should this
be the fact ii must give overu helming majority
TO the opposers OF the present administration and
the command OF nearly all tie electoral districts
Even it this fraternity should not take place. The
Bucktail party will command a majority of the
electoral votes. What then seems the eyiden,
policy OF the friends of Gen. Jackson. Certainly
to adopt the candidate for V. President thai NAV
be indicated by the opposition in the state of n.
York-provided that he be an individual n OF OBJ
noxious to the states, friendly to a change of ad
minis'raiion. The effect must be ecisiye.
fTemisins these refiectio and referring 10 the
nest information, II seems safe TO state, that should
Gen Jackson be living and in health at the next g.
lection, by electors lie vii receive the entire vote
