NEW YORK ELECT!
We have just received a letter from a member of the New York Legislature, which confirms the opinion we have heretofore held, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that John Quincy Adams will receive the votes of that State. We attach the more importance to this letter, as it is written by one of the majority who voted to censure the Governor, and that vote has been claimed by the Crawfordites as the test of their strength. The letter is dated Sept. 6, 1824, and we make the following extract.
Mass. Spy.
"DEAR SIR—
"Much having been said about the votes of this State, and some having supposed that the last meeting of the Legislature had given proof that the friends of Mr. Crawford were a majority, I can assure you, Sir, that is not the case. There is a handsome majority in the Legislature opposed to Mr. Crawford: and although I do not think any one Candidate has a majority of the whole, yet I DO KNOW that Mr. Adams has more than any other one, and he WILL MOST CERTAINLY GET THE VOTES OF THIS STATE."
The writer also says, that "not less than twenty-two of those who voted to censure the Governor are opposed to Crawford," and adds in conclusion, "I have taken unwearied pains to ascertain the strength of parties, and am confident that I am correct."
