POLK. mi,ory-ess Clay and Birney ........... 1928


Il will be seen from these returns, that had the
vote of the State Of New York, numbering thirty
SIX electors, been cast for Mr. Clay, Mr. Clay
would have been elected President of the United
States by about seven majority And again, it will
be seen that the majority for Mr.. Polk in the State
OF New York being only about $500, change o
5000 votes from one side to the other, from Polk
TO Clay, would have effected the election of Mr.
Clay. Now 1t will be remembered, that previous
TO the election, and after the state election il
Pennsylvania, when the 6 Natives began 10
move In thus city, and the wings looking
with great anxiety, we stated positively that 4
perfect and complete union Of the wings and
" natives" would carry the city of New
York by four or five thousand for Mr.. Clay,
and give him the State and the Presidency; but if
on the contrary such union did not take place
and if MIR. Polk obtained the city, he would beyond
all doubt get the State and be elected to the Pres
dency The result has answered the prediction to
the very letter; and have every reason to believe
that the movement in this city which de,ermineo
the vote of the State and neutralized the combina
ton between the natives and the wings, was pre-
duced by the friends Of Calhoun, Cass, and Tyler
united and that Mr. Polk was not at all indebted for
the fortunate result, to some of the friends Of Mr.
Van Buren and Silas Wright, who were inward.
y rejoicing at the perilous complexion Of affairs,
and devoutly praying that Silas Wright would b.
elected Governor. whilst the vote Of the Stat
would be given to Mr.. Clay.


But these are not all the singular phenomena OF
this most extraordinary election. Although the
number Of votes poed indicates of course great
increase on the aggregate vote of 1910, yet there
is every reason to believe that from 100000 TO
$50 900 voters stad away from the polls. In fur
therance Of this uew,we annex the following table
containing, from recent returns, number of facts
which are very interesting to the political arthme
tcian.
