PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CA1crr
TIoNs. Several of these calculations have
been recently made and published. both
parties claiming for their candidate a num-
Der sufficient to constitute choice. IT s
known that III votes make choice. In re- |
gard to the results in large majority of
the States the calculators are agreed those
for the administration calculating on the
votes of Louisiana and Kentucky, as among
the States which will support it. As toI
Maryland none of her votes are BROUGHT in
to the Jackson calculation while those for
the administration are estimated at from s
to 10. On the votes of New-York and In
diana the calculators vary-the last Jackson
calculation claiming 20 in the former and 81
Of the latter. New-York is entitled to So
Electors-4 of whom are to be chosen in
districts-the other two by the Electors.
Should the districts return Is Electors of
either party, they, of course, would increase
their number to 90. Indiana is entitled to
5 votes, which are now claimed by both
parties. They were given up in the esti-
mate made at the Jackson H. @. in Tennes-
see. In the last electoral choice she gave
8408 votes to Messrs. Adams and Clay, and
7343 for Gen. Jackson. On these facts the
reader will make his own calculation. The
Jackson party claim 1877 votes for him, in
Guiding those in New-York and Indiana.
We only add, that if confidence may be
placed on information from intelligent sour
ces in New York, there is fair prospect of
the return of at least eighteen Administra-
ton Electors, who will increase their num-
Der to 20 and from Indiana that her whole
vote will be given for the Administration.
These two prospects being realized, there
will be deduction made from the above
Jackson calculation of nine votes, reducing
his number to 1913. IF to these are added
even two votes in Maryland, his entire num-
Der will be l30-leaving Mr.. Adams a ma
jority of all the Centinel.
A NEW CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.
"Who are you for, for President ?" inquired
a couple of wags of one of our steam-loving
neighbours, who was going to the general
training last week, and whose skin was then
full of the ODE joyful stuff "Who be for !
hey (hiccup) gentlemen" answered he, as
soon as he had brought himself to fair bal
ance in front of them, why, gentleman, Pm
for Gineral (hiccup)-I'm for (hiccup) Cine
raj -" 60" replied one Of the inter-
rogators, interrupting the hero before he had
finished hiccupping out who he was for
he's for HICKORY, no doubt-he's for Gen
eral Jackson" "No ant, nother-dang
it p retorted the good natured bacchanalian,
"I'm for GineraI (hiccup) Training % and
ne reeled majestically past them on his way,
hiccupping hurra for GENERAL Train

\ AN ISSUE JOINED. Mr.. Sloane, a
highly respectable member of Congress
from Ohio, in published letter says, that

up to him just as balloting for Speaker was
about to commence, in 1925, and with a
Speaker, and By God, I,ciH support the i'd
mtnlStrotaon." Mr.. Stevenson has publish
