It will be observed that in these countless Mr.. Cooley
shout six thousand votes behind Mr. Clinton, but
that he loses in this city in proportion than in any
other pa t of the State
The vote in the State will be close between Cooley and
Kelly probably the latter will have small majority
Cooley notwithstanding Mr. Cooley the anti rent
ticket in Delaware and Sullivan counties. The vote for
Mr.. Brady for Attorney General we think will be consi
deraby less in the State than that for Mr. Grover The
free soil candidate who has the advantage being the
antrent ticket.
In the twenty Eve counties above named Lsavenworh
