PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

EDenfs are Fastening on so fast, that il
seems almost absurd TO make any est;mnfes.-
We shall rapidly sketch the few conclusions, to

Crawford mean Ia throw their votes into

III Tennessee, in Alabama 3 in Mississippi,
and possibly in n. Jersey-ins all about 70
But with all his votes, ii is our firm impression,
that Gen. JarksOn cannot be elected President
Df the UniIcd States. How is he to get the
