We are still left in extreme doubt and anxiety res
meeting the N. York election. Both sides claim
majority of the districts which remain to be heard
from The NY. American, an Administration pa
per, holds the following language" We shall not
be surprised if each party obtain seventeen votes.
We are still Inclined to believe after comparing the
different accounts, that we shall obtain ~ votes'
and perhaps %. In the former event, 10 in Mary
land, independent of Virginia and Illinois, Will SUI
flee u.s. From MARYLAND, we have intelligence only
from Cecil and Hartford. We nave succeeded there.
Jersey has done nobly, she has elected her Elec
tors by an increased majority Of about 1000.
THE Gazette as Public Censor-He seems fully to
acouesce in the appointment Of Mr.. Harrington, as
Secretary of State, which Mr. Clayton had resigned,
and thinks no one will regret this appointment But
the Governor, naughty man, had never done any
thing right beforehand he sought counsel from the
Gazette, he might have rendered himself e1lrenely
DoDulay. 4el times more than he is-yea, almost as
popular as the little knot of eleUenths in and about
| Wilmington, N Castle and Dover. But no, he
would act according to his own judgment, and thus
he has fallen under Mr.. Harkers warm displeasure

Mr. Ewing of Sussex, in place OF Mr.. Handy re-

ministration, we cannot agree with him there. Ii

with his services, especially as man, so worthy,
and every way capable as Mr. E., was ready to take
Ibis place. Besides, we have precedent, near home

them, except that they we're the friends OF the Ad
ministration. And further, Mr.. Harker, himself
