On the Construction of Roads.

The proper construction and preservation, "
public roads are objects Of the FIRST interest. Incl
permanence depends entirely on the manner \
which they are formed, and the expense OF repair
is regulated by the correct or erroneous prlneiP'I
adopted by those who have charge OF them.
Roads in our state are OF three descriptions,
The great public highways, and the township ros,
both Of which are made and kept in order at Puu''
expense-aud turnpike roads, v hich have been eu
sructed by private capital, and by large and llO''
contributions from the commonwealth.
1t has been frequently remarked by our ciuas ~
who have visited the eastern states, that in 'nO'
parts Of the Union, the town roads, which arc :"
same public highways or township roads, ~ ~
better made, ard always in better order than W W
same roads in Pennsylvania. Why this IS the cav :.
Ii, will not be difficult TO show, and at future \
Rod some facts may be communicated on this ~

THE PRESIDENCY.

The National Journal publishes table showing
the number OF electors that each candidate would
have been entitled to, had the election been held
throue bout the Union by districts, and had each
candidate received electoral votes proportlonate to
the votes he received from the people. Thus, in
Maine Mr.. Adams received from the people 601o
votes and Mr.. Crawford $3.50. Now if these
votes had given 10 EACH electors proportioned to
their numbers Mr.. Adams would have had $50
and Mr.. Crawford $50. As it is, however, Mr..
Adams receives the whole nine. THIS calculation,
when carried through the Union, giving TO each
candidate the number Of electors 10 which he is
entitled by his proportion of votes,-where The
electors are chosen by the Legislature the votes are
proportional in the same municipalities the
following result: and proves what we have all
along said, viz: That Mr.. Adams received more
votes, and the choice Of the greater portion Of
the people, than any other candidate.
Electoral rotes proportional 10 each candidate
cording to the rotes he receired By the people,
emitting fractions:
Mr. Adams 98.
Gen. Jackson sc.
Mr. Crawford AZ.
Mr. Clay 28.
