The Hsoorough, n. {. Recorder says--we
have before expressed ourselves as believing that
the integrity, exalted talents and tried patriotism Of
John quincy .1ddmS preemnently qualified him
tor the high station 10 which his friends ought to
exalt him. We still consider him to be the most
prominent candidate. Even in this state his friends
are numerous. As some evidence of this we can
state, that the grand jury Of this county, at the
late term OF the county court, expressed their wish
es; OF the fifteen jurors, there were for Mr.
Adams niRe for all the other candidates Sir.
OHIO-The leading Paper at Columbus, the
seat OF government in Ohio, says that " but two
candidates for the Presidency will receive any sup
port in that State-Adams and Clay---a and adds:-
/" great majority of those who thought of Mr..
Clinton. are now turned to Mr.. Adams. The eau
Gus at Washington, has arrayed firm phalanx
lgainst Mr. Crawford, who will probably throw their
combined weight into the heaviest opposite scale, :"
There is little or doubt that the votes OF Ohio.
las well as of Indiana and Illinois, viii be given to
Mr.. Adams.
.4tother Jury Ballot for President.
We stated the other day the vote of the Grand
Jury Of Baltimore County on the Presidential ques
ton, which, we believe, has gone the rounds OF the
newspapers. This morning the Petit Jury of the
county now in session at the court house, followed
the example, and went into election for President
of the United States.--On counting The votes the
result was follows
For John Quincy adams, IS

One member declined voting.
From this and other powerful indications Of pub
lie sentiment in various parts of the country, it is
very clear that Mr. adams will be the next Presi
dent an event that will rebound to the honor and
stability Of republican institutions.-Bah. Pat
