The Presiaency.

Mr.. Adamss prospects we're never brighter thhD
at the present moment, and we repeat that we en-
terrain no sort OF doubt OF his election we 90 MOI
take into view in our estimate Of his strength the
contingency of Mr.. Crawforl's withdrawal, which
we consider more than probable-(t that event would
be decisive of Mr.. AS success)- -but we allow TO
Mr.. c. all the support which his friends ought
reasonably to claim for him. In Ohio, Mr.. Adams
appears 10 have much stronger interest than we
had supposed. His friends have at least taken the
lead in forming electoral ticket, which has been
already laid before the people, and the most SAN
guine hopes are entertained OF Its success. The
vote of Indiana, which has all along been consider
ed doubtful, ii is now thought will be given to MIR.
Adams. His ticket in that state combines host oil
talent and influence, being composed OF the three
judges OF the supreme court, the lieutenant COVER
nor, and the speaker of the house Representatives
The paper published in the large and popuous
ty of Wayne, in that state, says that Mr. Adams
will get nearly every vote OF that county Illinois,
Louisiana and Mississippi are admitted by all 10 be
doubtful. In each state there will be close con
Itest-in the two former between Mr.. Adams and
Mr.. Clay, and in the latter between Mr.. Adams
and Gen. Jackson. New York we consider certain
for Mr.. Adams, Noah, Van Beuren, &c. =" to the
contrary Notwithstanding 1t is also probable tina,
he will obtain the vote oil Delaware which has been

count OF MT. NraWloTui ana certainly enormously
so placed if ominous demonstrations are to be

The only benefit which would arise from Mr.. CIaw.
ford's Withdrawal (to be sure a very considerable
one) would be to keep the election from the House
of Representatives. II it be decided by that body,
however, there can be no doubt as to the result.
When the nature of each candidates. support is
considered, every friend of MIR. Adams must be
proud to see the advantageous ground upon which
he stands. They perceive that he is not the cand-
date OF a section but that he is the national candi.

of his birth or his domic but that they are spread
throughout the union-ihat while the other cand-
dates with the partial exception of General Jack.
