A " The last number of that paper,' con tains a statement" of a vote, which was taken at the General Re view, in, this City, on the 15th inst. on the Presiden tial Question. We did not .believe that the Editors of the Star, versed as they are in mitrepresentation, l would have had the' enronterr, to publish the result of that vote, knowings they did, the circumstances under which, it wa taken. ( Bat it is an obvious (ct, that in proportion as Mr;; Crawford's prospects of an election by : the "people brighten, the Star; becomes' rndre re gardless of truth. " So notorious have thevbecome for their aberrations, v that we now. rarely ever notice their elu sions, and' would pass therh'by in the - present instance, but we wish to show what shifts the Star is forced to" a dopt, to make the worse, appear the better side. There, is , not another print in" the Union (not even the Na tional Journal, which is an hereditary scion of the Washington Republican) which would have been guilty of tthe paltry1 artifice which the last "Starves to subserve its purpose. In their state ment of the vote to which .we allqde. Glen. Jackson is represented as havin received 215, ; Jlrf Adams 41, and Mr. Crawford 56 Votes. Can any one be lieve, that the Star, in order that Mr. Crawford should ."appear less popular ' than-Mr. Adams,"has deducted 'ratu- itously a sufficient number frum'the votci given to the former-to -make the i latter appear 'with -"a , small majority Thbujrh this mav .seem incredibler.it is nevertheless true ; . .. ); ,If any one will examine the last Star, they will find According td thet state lrtcnt .there made, that Mb Crawford received 44, totes, and Mr. Adams 41 but the Editors thinking it would never Io for MK Adams to appear lowest on the lisU made an erroneous total of the votes given to lr. Crawford, and irP stead of 44,' the true result, 'put down Z not believing, that -any one would take the trouble of , adding up the col uninv. and, consequently that tlieir arti fice wonltl 'not be', detected, v They were.however nnstaken, and" we hope they will now be taught from, experi ence that 44 Honesty is the best policy..' , Throughout the whole article to" which we refer, there is a great. want of jcah3 dor. The Star savs the question would liave been more generally taken, but for the fatigue of the men. The Editors well know this was not the true reason.
