one state as far As our information extends, Is
the influence Of anv one OF tie candidates s0
overwhelming, a. altogether 70 POT down or

where Mr.. Adams appears 20 possess undis-
turbed sway
In Maine. the friends ofNr Crawford are
numerous, active. AM influential sud are de-
term'ned 70 try the strength Of The northern
candidate.
The SINE remarks NAV be madein relation
Ito New Hampshire; bot she "a SEE. almost be-
'ond possibility Tor Mr.. Adams.
In Massachusetts. where IL was supposed
VIZ. Adams would obtain AZ almost unanimous
vote. the opposition IS serious. II not impns-
~, the friends Of Mr. Crawford having de-
termined 20 run ticket FOR that gentleman.
L is worthy Of remark. that since the Wash
Iington Republican has been consolidated with
the National Journal. the name Of Gen. Jack
! son has ceased 70 appear I'D che Boston o.
ers as a candidate for the Vice Presidency.
Mr.. CalhOun's name has been substituted. with
the view doubtless. or obtaining for Nr.
ADAMS The vote Of South Carolina. The
friends Of Gen Jackson should look q This.

friend- If Mr. Crawford are numerous and
respectable.
Rhode Island will also vote far Mr. Adams.
unless bis friends should ~ remiss. Crawford
| is considered BY many 20 be stronger in Rhode
Island. than in anv Of the New England States.
The late proceedings AZ Albany satisfy us,
that Mr.. Crawford will obtain the vote ofNew
York
New jersey is claimed for Mr. A and he
will probably obtain the vote of that state.
! Clay is strong among the manufacturing
classes. and Jackson's friends are numerous.
persevering and daily increasing.
Penusylva0i' is immoveable IN her attach
ment to old Hickory; but Mr.. Crawford is
not without many influential friends. and his
cause appears TO be gaining ground, but al
too slow time ever 70 gain upon Jackson. .
Delaware is claimed bv the friends of Mr.
Crawford, but We cannot tell upon what prin-
cple, unless ii is because the state Is federal.
and his pretensions are supported bv thu fed
era printer. The few indications If public fee
hng we have seen, have been in favor of Gen.
jackson.
Maryland will give divided vote and Il
would puzzle a " Phaiepha LAWYER toex-
plain what that divi an VIII be. jackson and
Adams appear to be niE5sst ia public favor, il
we are 70 Judge from the noise made by their
/ friends Mr.. Crawtori has also many admir-.
ers 10 this state, men too Of the first respec-
liability. Mr. Clay also has some friends id
MARY land
Mr.. Crawford is sure Of Virginia; but the
Adams, jackson, and Clay tickets will obtain
respectable votes, the two former especially.
North Carolina Is claimed with equal conf
dence by the friends Of both jackson and
Crawford; but if we are % believe what we
see with our eyes, aud hear with our ears, a
very large majority Of the people of this state
are decidedly IN favor OF Cen Jackson.
South Carolina may be considered as rath-
er uncertain. Appearances are certainly
in favoar Of Gen. Jackson, but the friends oi
Mr.. Adams are sa0guine-and those OF MIR
Crawford are not without hope.
| Georgia may be put down as certain for
Mr.. Crawford but the friends or Gen. Jack
son will, on the day Of election, exhibit an i'm
posing front, with Gov. Clark at their head.
! Alabama, we should imagine would be for
/ Old Hickory but the friends of Mr.. Al
ans arc making powerful efforts in bis behalf
The friends Of Mr.. Crawford have also started
a ticket; but his admirers appear like angels
visits, few and far between.
Louisiana has been claimed bv the friend.
Iotboth Jackson AMI Adams. but since the tri.
nmph of the JacksOniaDs over the combined
leforts Of the friends Of Clay and Adams, 10
Y New-Orleans, II appears To be CONCEDED that
~ ckson will lbtaIn the vote Of this state.
II Misssapl also claimed by both Jackson
and adams but we cannot suppose that. IN
der any circumstances, shc viii vote for Mr..
Adams.

having offered himself A. an eIect0r tor Mr..

jackson are not only numerous and active.
but well organized md disciplined. and will
dispute every inch OF ground al the polls.
\ Ohio Will likewise 90 for MIR. Clay, but not
without an animated struggle. as the friends
Of Adams and Jackson have both taken the
field and exhibit formidable front.
Missouri Will also be for AZ Clay, but not
without serious opposition.
How the remaining western states will
vote; we have 10 means of correctly ascer-
ltaining; but from the calculations Of those
who appear 70 know the sentiments Or The
people Of those states. Jackson's influence A.
al least equal to that Of either Clay ~
