PRESIUEN 11 A L ELECTIQJ& The electoral votes At Georgia have been ffiven to Mr. Crawfoid us President, aid to Mr. Vat* Buren as Vice\President. This choice agrees with the higy reputation the stale deservedly possesses in be Union tor re pi: iicanism, ands eadtus’ness to the political. pr;nc : f*les of the Jeffersonian sciicol. If in aT the o'her sta es the republican party were to La\e actv-d as independently and in strict con* Jortr..iy to the btst interests of be country, , and to the integriiy and ascendency of demo cratic principles, no doubt c*yi exist ot the elec ion of those two distinguished citizens.
