THE ELECTION.

OHIo.-The friends of MIR. Clay have nj lenrth tn
ken the field. A few of the Clay lawyers of the
state, convened m caucus on the night of the 10Th
inst i'm Cincinnati (the Supreme Court of the United
States being then in session" along with the Clay
Committee and nominated Duncan Macarthur as
Governor, and Ticket of Electors of President and
wee President Previous to making out their tick
ct II is said, they proposed the an-masons TO d-
vide it with them, but the offer was refused vet
they have placed upon their ticket four names which
had been previously placed on that of the anti-ma-
sons Notwithstanding the persons are pledged, in
case of their election, vote for William Writ and
Amos Ellmaker." Thus, rs we understand the ar
engagements i'm Ohio each of her three parties has
MS candidate for Governor and its Electoral Ticket
NORTH CARoLINA-presents also similar three
fold phasis. The friends of Mr. Clay are getting IN
an Electoral 'Ticket--and the friends of Cen Jack
son are arranging two different Tickets, one for Nj.
" Buren, as Vice President and the other for r. p
Barbour. is there no risk of the Clay Ticket sue
ceeding by the divisions of our own party The
western counties are beginning move for Barbour
Meetings have been held in Rowan, Davidson. Lin
coin and Buncombe for the purpose of organizing
the Barbour Ticket-and similar meetings have been
called in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Stokes The
Raleigh Star appears TO be confident of the sue
cess of this Ticket. The Rutherfordton Spectator
is equally sanguine, that the western counties of NJ
Carolina will rally around the " Buren, Ticket
The Fayetteville " Observer" again charges the Col
hounies and Clayites with playing deep game
with protesting to get up Clay Ticket, while "they
acknowledge that there is not the distant pos
slblIty OF MIR. Clay receiving the vote of North Ca
rolina but they also know and acknowledge that by
running Judge Barbour there may be some chance

prevent the election of Mr.. Van Buren, by the cleo
toral colleges, and consequently of having Mr. Ser
geant, the Clay candidate for the office returned to
the Senate with MIR. Van Buren,, where, as the Sc
nate is now constituted, he will most undoubtedly be
chosen TO fill the office of Vice President"
If the "Raleigh STAR is not better acquainted with
the politics of its own State than il is with virginia.
very little confidencei is be placed in its calcula-
tons. 1t PROCESSES TO believe that Mr.. Barbour will
get the vote of Virginia. and it relies among other
reasons, upon the assertions of two Opposition pa
pers in this City-one devoted to Mr.. CLAY and the
other to MIR. Calhoun and both equally reckless about
the means of pushing their fayorie politician
We surely place not the slightest reliance upon their
assertions III the present instance. Mr.. Barbour will
scarcely get the vote of Virginia. The failure of the
charlottesville Convention is powerful evidence
OF the fact The information we have since receiv-
ed from all quarters of the State confirm the op-
mon; and every day deepens this conviction The
citizens of Virginia will not be willing 10 throw the
Election ofV p. into the Senate ofthe u. S. where
Sergeant will beat Van Buren,. Virginia will scarcely
hazard result of this Sort from partialty to MI
Barbour, or any other She will Mt least keen
the election out of the hands of the Senate She has
only ttCO tickets One for Clan and .Serrennt-the
other, for Jackson and such Vice President M Van
Buren, or Barbour) as her College of Electors NAV
ultimately select They will decide with all the
lights before them at the last resort-what is best
TO be done. And we have no doubt that the people
will leave the choice to their unfcttered and enght
ened Judgment.
