and indisputable, that the wing delegation Of
New York has made up its mind to drop Henry
Clay of kentucky, and adopt
MAJOR General WINFIELD Scorr.
state this fact the highest authority, on the as
surance Of the leading Of the New York wing
and conservative delegation, and let any gain
say it 1.-The dare. s
state distinctly and uneQuivocally. that a meet
ing Of the whig and conservative delegation OF New
York, was held IN this city last night and out of
the entire delegation, il voted unanimously, that
Henry Clay, OF Kentucky, might as well go 10 the
antipodes as to hope far one moments TO obtain the
electoral vote Of tho State OF New York.
Under the circumstances of the case, it
asked, hat was to be done with the State Of New
York The unanimous response was, must
go for
Scorr,
and he, and he only. can obtain our support This
was but natural and wise conclu sion, aud honor

zaroni breed he wthered all he touched, and Mr..
Adams administration destroyed, IN conse-

aud worthless political blackiegs, who hang upon
