The great want of vent for the labor of the very limited manufactories of the west ern part of North-Carolina, is severely felt by those who iiave been taught to rely on their profession alone for the support of their fami lies ; and such indigence will doubtless keep every branch of mechanism that labors under it, in an awkward :ind cramped condition, that must retard that energetic spnnt, without which it is impossible for the art to flourish.

At 12 o’clock precisely, the members of the Senate entered the HalU preceded by their Sergeant-at-Arms, and having the Pkesident of the Senate at their head, who was invited to a seat on the right hand of the St’kaker of the House. Seats were then assigned the Scnalors, who took their seats together, in front of the Speaker’s Chair and towards the right hand of the entrance. After examining the electoral returns from the different States, the President of the Senate rose, and declared that no person had received a majority of votes for President; and further declaring, that John C. Calhoun was duly elected Vice-President, having received 182 votes. The Members of the Senate then re tired. The Speaker directed the roll of the House to be called by States, and the members of the respective delegations to lake their seats in the order in which tho States should bc called, beginning at the right hand of the Speaker. The roll was called accordingly, when it appeared that every member of the House was present, with the exception of Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, who is known to be indisposed at his lodgings, in this city. The delcgations took their places accor dingly, ballot-boxes were distributed to each delegation, by the Sergoant-at-Arms, and the Speaker directed that the ballot ing should proceed. The ballots having all been deposited in the boxes. Tellers were named by the respective delegations, being one from each State in the Union. Mr. Webster, of Massachusetts, was appointed by those Tellers who sat at one table, and Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, by those at the other, to announce the re sult of the balloting. After the ballots were counted out, Mr. Webster rose, and said: Speaker: The Tellers of the votes at this table have proceeded to count the ballots contained in the box set before them. The result they find to be, that there are— For J. Q. Adams, of Mass. 15 votcs» For A. Jackson, of Tenn. 7 votes. For W\ H. Crawford, of Geo. 4 votes, Mr. Randolph, from the other table, made a statement corresponding with that of Mr. Webster, in the facts, butva- fying in the phrascologv, so as to say that j f I'-’ii' t'd accordingl). /• his was a deep Mr, ' ■■ ford in concurrence with my OAvn : name-’, closely associated with the glory of t!',e nation, and one of them, further i econi- niended by a larger minority of the elec toral suflrages than mine. In this state of things, coulrl my refu sal to accept the trust thus clolegHtcd to me, give an immediate opportunity to the people to form and toexi)n ss, wit!, a nearer approach to unaniniity, the ubjoct of their-prcference, I should not hesitate to decline the acceptance of this t'tninent charge, and to submit the decision of this momentous question again to theirdrter- mination. But the constitution itself, has not so disposed of the conti^genc} wljieh would arise in the event of niy refusal; 1 shall, therefore, repair to the post assign ed me by the call of my country, signifi ed through her consiilution.il orgaii'^; oppressed with the magnitude of the 'ask before me, but cheered with the Ik-jk' ol* that generous support from niy leliow- citizens, which, in the vicissitudes of a life devoted to their service, has never failed to sustain me—confident in tiie trust, that the wisdom of the LegisLtive Councils will guide and direct me in tho path of my official duty, and re'ving, above all, upon the superintending l’r. v- idenre of that Heing “in vvhuse hand our breath is, and whose arc all our ways.” Gentlemen : I pray you to make ac ceptable to the House, the assura»re ol* my profound gratitude for theii ronfi- dence, and to accept yonrsi l es my h nki for the friendly lerms in whieh you luivo communicated to me tlieir deei'-iuii .IOH\ QUINCY ADAMS.

Th** result vvus known i-n the Hall, as sooti as it was as certained how New York had voted. The very crowded galleries, lioMevtT, are separated so comph'tely from th6' body of the House, and suci) perlV-ct si lence prevailed, that the lirst idea that a choice had been made, \v.is communica ted, by the report of the Tellers, that Mr. Adams had received 13 v»itcs !— The effect was electric. Without wait ing for the 'lellers to conclude their re port, a few persons in tlife galleries, by clapi>ing their hands, he. gave tokens of aj)probation, and a few scarcely au dible hisses were heard, as if in reply to the plaudits.
