The following is the number of the Electoral
votes, which each candidate has received from the
foregoing votes by the people, exclusive of the
North Carolina vote, which we leave out of the
calculation from the fact that the division Of it be
tween Mr. Adams and General Jackson, If to be
made, has not reached US.
One hundred and three thousand votes have
given Mr.. Adams forty seven Electoral votes.
Eighty -one thousand votes have given Gen. Jack
son forty three Electoral votes.
Seventeen thousand votes have given Mr.. Craw-
ford twenty five Electoral votes.
Twenty two thousand votes have given Mr.. Clay
sixteen Electoral votes.
Had the Electoral votes been divided among the
four candidates in the ratio OF the number of votes
by the People, Mr.. Adams would have received
sixty Electoral votes, General Jackson forty five,
MIR. Crawford nine, and Mr.. Clay twelve.
MIR. Adams has nearly twenty two thousand
votes more than Gen. Jackson, eighty seven thou
sand more than MIR Crawford, and eighty two thou.
sand votes more than Mr.. Clay
Exclusive of the North Carolina vote, the whole
number of the three candidates except Mr. Adams
is one hundred and twenty thousand the number
of MIR. Adams nearly one hundred and four thou
sand, being within sixteen thousand of the votes
given for the three other candidates. The votes,
as far as received, have emphatically shewn Mr..
Adams to be the OF the people. We appre-
bend the complete aggregate when obtained, will
confirm this conclusion.

The revenue which has accrued from this navi-

OF 10000 dollars, which will be collected the present

ADAMS TAKES THE LEAD.
From the NeU Fork Observer.

PREsIpENr1AL.-In the following table we have
divided the free population of each State between
the different candidates in proportion to the number
of votes which each receved-It will be obvious on
moments reflection, that this is the only fair meth
cd of comparing the popularity OF the different
candidates. This table shows what would prob
ably have been the result Of the election if every
citizen Of the United States had been permitted to
vote directly for President without the inerven-
tinn of electors.

In making up the aggregates, we have not added to
Mr. Crawford's the votes given for the " unpedged
tickets" so called in Massachusetts, and Connecti-
cut, because it explicitly declared by the advo
Gates of those tickets previous to the election that
they we're not Crawford tickets, and to our person
al knowledge votes obtained for the unpledged
ticket in Massachusetts on the express ground that
it was an unpledged Adams ticket. The 206 votes
cast in opposition to the Adams ticket in Rhode
Island do not properly belong to Mr.. Crawiord's
aggregate, and therefore not included in it.
The votes of North Carolina were for the Peoples
ticket GOALS, for the Crawford ticket 1884,
The votes for the Peoples ticket were cast by the
united friends of Adams and Jackson. The pro
portion Of each has been varousy estimated. We
will assume it however, such appearing to US the
most probable result, at one third for Mr.. Adams
and two thirds for Cen Jackson. The aggregates
then will stand thus:
