large majority. 1t is indeed still within the POW of
the western counties bring UP lee-vay but from
the complexion of prria returns, tut is not to be
hoped for. In another place the reader will see all
fiio returns that have yet reached us.
Had a;y predicted this result four years ago
he would have met with the fate of Ca<sandra
Within two years revolution has been effected as |
remarkable, unexpected, a. unforeseen, Us any on

Of Vrgnia-what degradation certain politicians
have incurred in accomplishing event which they
formerly bewailcd the disastrous that the i'm
agnation could pcturet is useless consider
Suffice it to say, that ncndacity the most un5lushin
TRICKS the most scandnlous, vigilance the sleep
less, bullying, boasting, Wanting and ravng the most
dssusting-cvery mcaincss that honour scorns and
unprncplcd demugogucs employed, has becii
called into In place, the ignorant have been
assured that the low price of produce was caused by
the admn;stration-:u another that MIR. Adams had
sold the Colonial trade for prcc-n Il tIr, that he
had declared no poor man should hold office under
HMM fourth, that he hid invited the Kinr of
England to pay him u visit In short, lies have been
every whore invented to s,,it tho grade OF Tho under
standing Of those upon VIII ~. they intended to
cQerateor that calculated to enlist the feelings
Ct self interest against the administration. We have
scores of letters which we have never publ she'd from
h!lpaEts of Virginia disclosing those base and nfa-
rlons sahrications. We certainly never expected to
sne in ORR generation, total an abandonment of
principle selfre.pcct and shame; manifested too in
many instances, By men who hold some station in
society, anil who have Tor hdd) some character to
lose. That snch acts should be employed by the
hasor agents of party--by such Kendall a!.d
Green. we nothing adnrc--but that they should be
invoked by the description of persons mentioned
above and that they should hive met with such sue
CESS is what had believed impossible. We arc
persuaded that the Dcmagogues themselves who
have whecdied the multitude in Virginia, are uston-
fshed at their success, and feel their respec; for
their dupes scii.ibly abated.
We have never seriously hoped much less claimed
the vote of Virginia for Mr.. Adams. If monentari-
y, we have iHduged such expectation, it has spec
oily yielded to cain survey of the host Of southern
and personal predictions arrayed in favor of Jack
con, and the no less numerous preIudices sectional
and personal enlisted against Mr.. Adams Upon
this state ofiects, the Iunto il Richmond 3pecuated
using their utmost exertions to increase popular pre-
Jldice to cxasperate sectional feeling, exclude cor
rect information: and to force appeal to the pas
slons ofthe public, instead Gifts and Judgment
They have succeeded in their specuaiions, but whe-
Their an honest pride shame at the badness
oFtheir and the unworthy actshy which it has
been carried. .edoTnates in their feelings we have
10 means of determining We should Imagine that
tho litter feeling at least had the mastery with these
who were wont TO deprccatc Jucksons election as
ga curse" We should imagine that the very consis-
tent Mr. Richie, the august 1T. Governor who as
hate as the fall Of 1927 viewed the election Of Jackson
with agitatcd nerves. and the worthy Jackson EIcc-
tor for this District, WHO iii 1894 coul speak of
probability OF his success without piously invoking
Heavenly interferenccwc should imagine, that these
most consistent gentlemen in their secret Souls feel
ashamed of themselves and their success.
The vote that Mr.. Adams has received in Virgin
Ia, is TO the last degree honorable and attcrng to
h!n 1t has been given III opposition 70 the preiud
cHs Of the country. no las voted for him Who
lad not strength ofmind and generosity of character
sufficient to subduc the bias of cdrcation the inhn-
cnce OF localities, and to despite that love Of major
~ so common in little minds. The vote has been
gwen not to the man, but from persuasion his
capacity and honesty. 1t was rs little PERSONAL as
vote could be. The imagination, which did so much
for Son. Jackson, did nothing for Nr. Adams
While wc chcerfIliy acknowledge that thousands Of
honourablc men voted for Gen. JACKSON ia unGuc-
;1nable that the weight ofthc intelligence and char
actcr oftbe country has been opposed to him.
.id,0 YorI.-The promises of tho friends Of the
Administration in this State are fulfilling. There is
low, little cause to doubt the choice Of q or q
Administration Electors; ard provided the Western
votes calculated upon for Mr.. Adam; remain scdli,
his election will be certain
Tho City of New York has chosen the Jackson
Electors by great majority. This was known
beforehand. Tine interior, however manitcsts diff.
ferent feeling The city and county of Albany,
claimed by the JocheouiGns, have choycn MIR. Van
Vechtcn the Administrations Erctor--so have o uecnr
aad Suffolk Columbia, Rensselaer,, Saratoga, Wash
ington and Oneida; seven which dcfDitivey heard
