THE ELECTIONS.

"This is the season of elections; and, in the way of news, there is nothing so interesting, that we can give to our readers, as the results of them."

We agree with the N. Intelligencer in the above impression; and shall accordingly give as many of the details, as may be interesting to the majority of our readers.—The great election will soon be over—within less than 3 weeks, the Polls will be closed in Virginia—when we shall devote our fugitive sheet to more miscellaneous subjects.

The following is the best Coup d'œil we can take of the Contest :

For Jackson—N. York 24 at least; Pennsylvania 28; Maryland 4; Virginia 24; N. Carolina 15; S. Carolina 11; Georgia 9; Tennessee 11; Indiana 5; Illinois 3; Missouri 3; Mississippi 3; Alabama 5; Kentucky 14—159.

For Adams—In N. England 50; Delaware 3; Maryland 5; N. York 12—70.

Debatable—Maine 1; Maryland 2; N. Jersey 8; Louisiana 5; Ohio 16—32.

NOTES:

N. York—We see what insidious attempts, and random calculations, are made by the Coalitionists, to puff the strength of their party in this State. But we put down the above vote as the minimum which can be counted on for Jackson. We rely upon the numerous signs that have been published, as well as the satisfactory information we have received from private sources—from men, who have no interest to deceive us, and whose letters were written for our own eyes, and in the very best faith. We published the other day a letter, from a gentleman who has the best means of information, and who counts upon not less than 30,000 majority for Van Buren, and 30 votes for Jackson.—We understand, also, through the most direct channel, that a member of the Adams Committee in Albany, does not hesitate to pronounce the cause of Adams as gone in N. York.—The late triumphant vote in Albany, is a certain sign of the spirit of the times.—The musters of the militia, the meetings of the people, the lines which have been re-drawn between the old Republican and the Federal parties and in the former, including both the body of the Bucktails and the Clintonians—every thing indicates the approaching triumph of the Jackson party. His friends are buoyant and active—his enemies, discouraged and depressed.—Among the more recent signs, we have to notice a ballot which was taken of Col. Consaul's regiment of horse artillery, at Schenectady, which resulted in 264 for Jackson, and 72 for Adams.—Every quarter is re-echoing the nominations of Jackson and Van Buren.—The meeting in Washington county, is said to have been the largest delegated meeting ever assembled there—between 3 and 400 persons attended, and every town was fully represented. John Gale was nominated for Elector, and John Willard for Congress. The same spirit animated the seventh district Convention at Seneca Falls, where D. Mosely of Onondaga was nominated to the Senate—also the 8th district Convention at Buffalo, where Philand'r Bennett was nominated to the Senate.—The same reigned in the republican Convention for the 25th Congressional district, which represented 4 counties, when J. H. Halsey of Seneca, and S. P. Bates of Ontario were nominated to Congress, and Gen. T. Rogers, and Asa Cole for Presidential electors. The Waterloo Observer states, that they will be elected by a handsome majority.—Mr. J. Magee the present member has been nominated by the republicans of the 28th district to Congress, and Mr. J. Lloyd of Allegany was at the same time nominated as the Jackson Elector for the district.—The republican Convention of Onondaga met at Utica on the 3d and nominated S. C. Bronson for Congress, and H. Wager for Elector. The same hopes of success pervade these nominations; the same buoyant spirit directs all the Conventions.—One feature is ominous of the fate of the Coalition. They have recourse to the Federal party for many of their nominees. Thus, they have taken up Mr. Gurnsey of Monroe as an Elector, Mr. Van Vechten of Albany, and Shearman of Oneida, all of the old federal school, the "supporters of the elder Adams, and the natural allies of the younger."

Such selections in the present highly excited state of the citizens of N. York bode nothing but ill.

Pennsylvania—The calculations most to be depended upon are 20 to 30,000 majority. Binns Estimates (guaranteed by the "able and circumspect" Editors at Washington) are blown sky-high by the late Inspectors' Elections. Thus he allowed Jackson 750 majority in the county of Philadelphia, and claimed for Adams 500 in the City, while the fact is that the Jackson electors in both was 3032. In Montgomery (once Markley's and now Jonathan Roberts's residence, Binns claimed for Adams 400 majority; and the Jackson inspectors have got upwards of 400 But enough— you may judge the giant calculator by his foot ! The Philadelphia Gazette pithily remarks :

"We believe it will be unnecessary to publish further returns of the inspectors' election in Pennsylvania.—To those who know any thing of the politics of the state, it must be evident that if the Adams candidates cannot succeed in such places as Philadelphia, Lancaster, and Pittsburgh, their cause in four-fifths of the country part of the state must be absolutely desperate."

In the city of Lancaster, no opposition was made by the Adamsites; and in the county districts, 10 Jackson Inspectors prevailed, and 8 of the opposite party.—But it is unnecessary to make any further calculations. Facts will this day take the place of figures; for, on this day is the general election in the State of Pennsylvania, for members of Congress and of the State Legislature.—Binns estimates will be superseded by the result; and his harp may hang their harps upon the willows.— We can scarcely believe that Mr. Sergeant will
