MECHANISM
in the Western part of North-Carolina.
The following schcme is the result of a
meeting of the Cliarfotte Benevolent Me.
chanical Society, for the purpose of devising
wa3's and means to exchange the labor already
expended in manufacturing, for another stock
of inattnaLs, thut thoy^niay continue cheerfully
m the exercise of tlieir occupation, by which
alone they have been instmcted to make a sub-
si.stence. 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.
The society feels sanguine in the hope, that
gentlemen who ai'e not m the habit of embark
ing in lottery schemes generally, will be influ
enced by charitable motives to encourage mech
anism at their doors, and thtreby have an op

WASHINGTON, WKDNESDAYy FEB. 9.
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.
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

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

ways.”

Washington, 10th Feb. 1825.
The moment of the I'Jection, yesterday,
may naturally be supposed to lia\e eu
one of deep excitement. Th** result vvus

The very crowded galleries, lioMevtT,
are separated so comph'tely from th6'

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. 'Ihe presentation of the
report was arrested iiy the Speakei, or
