Full Text
From New York we now hear that there is reasonable ground for a belief that Mr. Clinton is re-elected by a majority variously estimated at from 1500 to 5000 votes.
In 1824, he received, in his contest with Col. Young, for the same office, a majority of 16,559 votes. Such is the mutability of public opinion. The collision between two of the public prints of New York, since the election, each reproaching the other, discloses some curious facts as to the bearing of the late contest in the State of New York on the General Government. We look at this denouement of the affair with no little interest. Assertions are so peremptory each way, not only in the newspapers, but in private circles, on the subject of the estimation in which the present Administration of the General Government is held in the State of New York, that we are at a loss what to think of it. We shall look for some light upon the subject, in good time, from the Albany Argus.
In the Legislature of the State, it is said that the party opposed to Governor Clinton has a majority in both branches. The friends and the opponents of Gov. C's. Administration each call themselves Republicans, and have different names by which they call each other. -Nat.Int.
