Electoral Vole of North
Carolina. The Electoral Col
lege of this state convened in the
Senate Chamber at this city on
"Wednesday last, when General
Montfort Stokes was called to
the chair, and Gen. Benj. H.
Covington appointed Secretary.
The list of Electors was called
over, and all answering to their
names, to wit:
Montfort Stokes, of Wilkes,
Robert Love, of Haywood,
Peter Forney, of Lincoln,
Vine Allen, of Craven,
James Mcbanc, of Orange,
John Giles, of Rowan,
William Drew, of Halifax,
Josiak Crndup, of Wake,
Wm. Martin, of Pasquotank,
Wm. A. Blount, of Beaufort,
Wm. B. Lockhart, of No'n,
Ed. B. Dudley, of N.IIan'r,
Aug. H. Shcpperd, of Stokes,
IV. F. Leake, of Richmond,
M. Morchead, of Guilford,
a ballot was taken for President
and Vice President of United
States. On examining the votes,
it appeared that they were unan
imouslv for Gen. Andrew
Jackson as rresiaeni, ana me
Hon. John C. Calhoun as Vice
President. Maj. Thomas J.
Green, of Warren, was appoin
ted to carry a certificate of the
election to Washington City.
The College, having gone
through the business for which
it assembled, adjourned. A gun j
for each Elector was the fired, I
and one for the county of
Haywood, which had given an
unanimous vote for the Peo
ple's Ticket. We understand,
that a public dinner will be giv
en to-day to the Electors.
The Presidency. Louisiana
is the only stale remaining to
be heard from on the Presiden
cy; and although cur returns
from Alabama, Mississippi, In
diana, and Illinois, arc not com
plete, yet,1 from what we have
seen, we are satisfied, that in
those states, Jackson will only
lose three votes, one of which
will be given to Mr. Adams, and
two to Mr. Clay. Giving Lou
isiana to Gen. Jackson, of which
there seems to be very little
doubt, the following was the
state of the poll for the several
Presidential Candidates, in the
respective colleges on Wednes
day last, unless New York
should turn another somerset,
and bestow her vote in a way
that nobody expects:
Tor Jackson, H1
Adams, SI
Crawford, 40
Clay, 39

thing very interesting. It ap
pears, however, that the Greek
cause continues to prosper, not
withstanding the left-handed
Jnendship of the British au
thorities at the Ionian Islands.
Georgia. The Legislature;
of Georgia, at its present ses
sion, have passed an act to a
mend the Constitution of that
state, so as to give the election
