TfeSde""et Eteeton-Og the 9TH of October last. we
presented our readers calculation the poba BILE result
the Presidential election, in which we gave to Mr. ADAMS
one hundred and thirty This calculation was
made on the most thorough conviction from as good
sources o information as are accessible any We
have yet shake our confidence in any
part at that calculation. Neither We we at py
oeen more Confident nj the reelection of Mr. ADAMS
az the present. But dai arisen in the
horizon which we feared and which Influenced our es

now renew that estimate and show how little weight

ADAMS Every week has afforded new evidence of the
correctness of this estimate These twelve, half of the
states OF the Union give uinetyone We gave Mr.
Adams also eight of the votes of Maryland and Ken

gave him two votes i'll Missouri did know tina they

died an twelve votesTo these we added twentv-six for
New oTk, making one hundred and hir,y-egh seven
more than necessary for choice we never did expect
that City of New Ok would vote for Mr. an,~s or
any friend of Domestic Industry. There too murh foreign
feeling there to have hoped for any result We knew
that the COALITION Of Van Buren, and Clinton had
there for months, and that the Administration Marty werp
sleeping their full confidence. The result, of their
election is not so bad as feared II absolutely proves
nothing Mr. ADAMS will get enough in that State
10 secure his reelection without counting from
Pennsylvania Virginia. We will state on this subject
some facts that will SHOW that confidence is not over
weenhg An intelligent jackson editor who nor
long since from the South told friend OF ours tina tbcy
lhe Jackson party could not rely than one role
IN Maryland, aud from sac ten in New York ami that
Pennsylvania they thought already balanced and every
day changing against them. That doubt Mr.. ADA MS
would be elected but that they defeat the election

General JACKSON, the other side can only rely ON

upon To reach the Presidency must have the entire
vote OF Pennsylvania and Virginia in addition what we
concede him. and also eighteen the votes of New York
Fhe nomination of a third candidate might deprive Mr.
ADAMS of the vote of Virginia and part of New York but

throw the election into the House Representatives md
there his election would be entirely secure.
