.Npto Jersey In nearly all The estimates Of
votes on the Presidential question, those OF New
Jersey have been set down 10 Mr. Adams. This
is a mistake-they will be given to Jackson as
they we're before, as the elections for town Off!
GERS just plainly show, so far as we have seen
the accounts. The northern part Of that state Is
particularly decided for Jackson, and in some
counties were large majorities have been anticpa-
ted for Adams, these little elections now evince
that the hope is not only delusiyc but the cause
desperate.
There is one thing that has operated to induce
many people to believe, that this state would go
for Adams, which at the coming election will be
found not TO operate to that extent which has
been counted upon. Al the last Presidential cleo
ton, there was respectable number OF our demo
cratic brethren, favorable to the election OF Mr.
Crawford, while, as the electoral vote proved, the
mass of their friends was devoted to Jackson. AT
this question was settled at Washington in the ce-
walton of Mr.. Adams, It has been owing we believe
very much to the influence Of a distinguished in
Jiyidual resident there, but who is q lersyman,
