CALCurATIoEs.--Thc Editor Of tho Washington
Gazette, u very Jealous and Thoroughbred sup
porter of Mr.. Crawford, gives tho following view Of
the Presidential Canvass--To CRAWFORD he gives.
MAINE Q, Ncw-York SO, Delaware 3, Maryland
3, Virginia d, n. Carolina Is, Georgia 9, total 90.
JACKSON, Maryland 8, Pennsylvania %, Tennessee
II, Mississippi 3. Alabama ., total %. ADAMS.
n. Hampshire S, Massachusetts ID, Rhode Island
4, Connecticut, 8, Vermont Z, New-JcrSey 8, ,ota,
SO. CLAY, Kentucky Ii, Ohio lG, Louisiana .,
Indiana, ). Illinois j. Missouri 5, total lS. Doubt
ful, South Carolina II. Thusit appears that ALL,
that the most Jealous, among the newspaper advo-
Gates Of Mr. Crawford, now claims for him, is but
total of % votes.
In our humble opinion however, and from the
best OF Information within cur reach we have
formed our opinion, this total is far greater than
facts will support. We bcvc, that it should be
duccd by deducting there from Maine, Maryland,
Delaware and New York. The votes of Maine
we should give to Adams. The whole of the
votes of Maryland we should also give to mr. A.
dams. New York and Delaware we consider
doubtful.
Our estimate of the relative strength of the
datcs would be as follows. Adams, as before,
five New England States and New Jersey 80, to
which add maryland H. Maine 8, Indiana D. Illinois
Georgia Q, total 35.-Mr. Clay, Kentucky ii.
Gen. Jackson, Pennsylvania 90, Tennessee II,
Alabama S, Louisiana :, missouri ), total 50.
Doubtful, South Carolina IL, North Carolima 10,
New York 36, Delaware ), mississippi, ), total GO.
Observation-Disclosures, "a Crawford, So
| Clay, 81 Jackson, 50; Doubtful. 6S. Total 262
l. of the 90 votes, which consider doubtful
South Carolina and mississippi we have reason &c
| believe will vote for Mr.. Adams, which makes hi.
number of votes 1913. Ii n. Carolina should give
her vote for Cen Jackson, it will make his nuinbeI
of votes 81. If New-York should vote for MIR.
Adams his number Of votes will then be Ia, and
choice will be effected by tie electors. Should
New York on the other hand vote for either
General jackson or M. Crawford, there viii,
he 40 choice by the electors, and the three
candidates brought into the house of Representa-
tives will be MIR: Adams, Gen. jackson and Mr..
Crawford.
MIR. Adams will conc into the house, according
to our calculation, with the votes of THIRTEEN
STATES, being a majority Of the whole number
TwENTY-FoUR.
According to the calculation Of the editor of the
Washington Gazette the candidates that would
come into the house Crawford, Jackson, and
Adams Crawford with the votes of Maine, New
York, Virginia. ~ Carolina, Georgia and Della
ware, 6; Jackson with Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama, D. apd aIr.
Adams with Massachusetts. Connecticut Rhode Is
land, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New Jersey,
Is. Deductng then Maine from the States, that
the Editor Of the Washington Gazette claims for
Mr.. Crawford, and giving her vote 10 MIR. Adams,
the candidates would come into the house fol-
lows-Mr. Adams with Z, Mr.. Crawford with >, and
Gen. Jackson with States.
From, the farest view, which we are able to give
this subject, it Is honest conviction that the
present moment, Mr.. Adams promises to unite a
larger portion of the electoral than any other
candidate, and even the calculations of his bittercst
opponent show that, he would come before the house
of Representatives with a DECIDED PLURALITY
over any other candidate. We, however, are very
confident i'll our belief that his merits and talents
will secure his election by the people without a re-
sort to the House of Representatives.
