THE VOTE OF PENNSYLVANIA.

In April last the Jackson Central Committee
published their estimate Of The probable vote
in every county in Pennsylvania, at the Presi-
Dental Election. From that time to this, the
editor Of this paper has been occupied in send
ing "Circulars," and keeping up an active and
extensive correspondence throughout the state,
with view, upon comparison OF all his in
formation 10 submit 70 the people OF Pennsyl.
vania what he believes will be The vote in the
several counties at the election, October 3lst
The mass Of ignorance and misrepre senta.
ton which has been spread before the public
for he purpose Of deception, has, Tor some
time been giving way 10 the statements and evil
dences Of public opinion which have appeared
in the newspapers in every part Of Pennsylva-
MIA The editor does no, expect that the blind
or the biggoted, the determined or the devoted
par,izans Of General Jackson, will be convinced
by any ,hiag ne can OFF,. Having, however,
for more than quarter Of a century, been in the
habit Of ascertaning, estimating, and publish
ing, on the eve of important elections, calcula-
lions as 10 the vote in the counties Of this state,
and having at all times been fortunate enough
10 come to right conclusions, he cannot but
Hatter himself that there are large number OF
sober minded citizens-whose votes are regu>
lated by their judgments, and not by their pas
sions-who will carefully examine an estimate
coming from one who never Intentionally de-
ceived or mised them, and who has never been
mis.aken.as to the vote Of Pennsylvania.
The following estimate is arranged in the
same order as the Jackson estimate, to be pu b.
lished side by side with it for the convenience
Of reference.
Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1828-08-28

We shall occasionally republish these esti-
mates, correcting our own, from time TO time,
as more accurate information and the changes
Of public opinion shall warrant.
The smallness Of the majorty claimed in our
estimate, contrasted with that claimed by the
Jackson men, will be thought disc ouraging, by
many, and we shall be charged with impollcy
for having published it. We are aware Of all
that can be urged on this head, but we never
have feared, nor do we now fear, any i'll conse-
qdences from publication Of the truth.
We desire a full, as well as fair, expression
of public opinion, and hold it 10 be Of the ut.
most importance that on this great occ aston,
every citizen, whose health, whose conscience,
aud primary duties to his family will permit,
should vote.
If hose who are honestly convinced Of the
great importance of electing Mr. Adams, will
take The trouble, in plain and familiar way,
to explain to their neighbors their reasons for
supporting Mr.. Adams, and he force Of their
objections against General Jackson, they will
DO much to multiply the voters for the present
administration.
If those persons who are convinced o! The
good which is 10 follow perseverance in the
present American System, would but imagine
round him Of inexperienced statesmen; & such
a council entering upon series Of untried mea-
sures-aDd would but suppose that their own
activity, and that Of others, entertaining their
opinions, could have averted such state of
things, how uncomfortable would be the re.
proaches OF their consciences. Let them avert
such calam,ies and reproachings by doing
their duty, while it may be done. While it is
yet day, let them york; for the night cometh
in which no man can work. Let the activity of
others stimulate you to like exertions. When
others toll to do evil, do you labor 10 counters
act them, and do good.
One position more we would take, and en-.
trench ourselves in it, as the only one which
can ensure safety. We would make ASSURANCE
doubly sure" by making certain the vote Of
Pennsylvania. Let there be such decisive man.
ifestions of our strength al the Inspector Election.

| Majority for Jefferson i2o,ooo
| More than two 10 one.
So that here would be ma ority Of electo
raj votes Of for Burr, and yet majority OF
10000 populor votes against him. ms, 10
be sure is an extreme case, but it yet illustrates
the position taken, that the numbers oil electo>
raj votes is no certain criterion Of the VIII OF
the People, and therefore that, when the House
of Representatives is called upon to choose,
they ough: not to be bound 10 take the highes,
without regard to other considerations.
From all this it would follow, very clearly,
that there is no claim Of right, on the part OF
Gen Jackson, to Re preferred 10 MIR. Adams
that there is no sort Of pretence that wrong was
done 10 him or 10 public sentimenl-that the
house acted not Only according to the letter,
but in the spirit Of the Constitution in choosing
Mr.. Adams-tha:, considering the Slave States
had had the President 80 out Of So years, II was
fair and just 10 change.
Now / have endeavoured to reason this point
fairly. My appeal is to the good sense OF the
People. 1t may be, some hol>headed men who
will not understand, and some wrong headed
men who cannot understand, will yet insist
tina, Gen. Jackson, was, Of right, President
or il the language Of the meeting at Mis-. Ma
sons, that he was unfairly defeated in his
election, and thar the rights and wishes OF the
American People were sported with and disre'
garded" But clear minded men, Of all parties,
l venture 10 affirm, will see The thing in its just
constitutional light,
A desuItory remark or two occurs. Mr.
Crawfoi came into the house with fewer votes
than even Mr.. Adams or Gen. Jackson; and yet
his friends did not give him up-Mr M'Lane
Of Delaware voted for Mr.. Crawford in the
house-Virginia aud Georgia voted for him
although Virginia and Georgia are most cla-
morous because Gen. Jackson was not chosen
The truth is, this notion is urged in hopes to
| gain the aid Of some honest weak men, who are
supposed not TO understand the constitution
clearly, and who it is thought may be misled
10 consider the case similar 10 the rejection oil
a candidate for Sheriff. who has the greatest
number Of votes, when the cases are wholly dis
similar.
On the whole, as this reason was almost the
only one, that remained, Of any considerable
weight, fer supporting Gen. Jackson, and as
this is now wholly removed, do mol doubt but
sound, upright men, will give way TO the fee
exercise Of their feeling and judgment, and con-
| clude that il is safer and better 10 continue an
| Admin ,,ration which we know is pursuing a
wise and prudent course, rather than to change
a certainty for on uncertainty-snd when 1t ].
known that if Gen. Jackson should be elected
he would be surrounded and influenced by those
violent Southern men under whose influence
the South are rushing into such scenes OF Vio'
! Ience and Reorganization.

votes a candidate might have more votes than
a man who had much larger number OF the
votes Of freemen. In that case it will hardly be
commended that there would be any claim and
pretence Of right, on the par, Of the candidate
having such votes.
Again-SIavery out OF The question, and the
negro votes put aside, the electoral votes DO
not show the clear weight of popular opinion
To shew this, take Pennsylvania and New York

Burr, and 80 900 10 Jefferson. Now how does
