died to Mr.. Adams the remainder. These % votes
we regard therefore, as certain as those of the
eight states, whose votes, all admit, that he will
receive-& with them make l34 votes three more
than will be required to elect him;-whilst Mr.
Adams, in the six states whose entire votes are
conceded to him, and in New York and Maryland
In addition, will oniy'receive 20 votes

gard to several OF them; we have no means of de-
Gliding on the Validity of the rival CLAIMS 1t was
too the less necessary to enter upon the enquiry,
10 Which the attempt to ascertain how they will
vote; would have led, from the fact that their
votes however given cannot affect the result of the
elections Gen. Jackson as we have SEEM must be
elected though he should not obtain single vote
IN eithHr OF these states-Mr Adams cannot be,
Though he were to obtain all the votes Of all OF
them. Without pretending to express any very
conhdefit opinion in relation to their present pre-

We learn from the Baltimore Ameri.
can, that Capt. M'Neil and Lieut. Whs.
tier, Of the United States Engineers, and
Mr.. Knight, one of the Engineers of the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, have
lett Baltimore, for New York. They
intend to embark in one Of the next
packets for Liverpool, and their object
is to examine the Rail Roads of Europe,
and TO procure such information rela-
ing thereto as may be useful in the con.
stfuction of these works ia this country.
The American adds:
"Qur brethren of the South seem to
be equally alive, with our own citizens,
to the advantage of this lately improv.
ed, and, we may almost say, newly in
vented means of intercourse. A COM
pany has been for some time organized
in South Carolina, whose object is to
make Rail Road from Charleston to
Hamburg, on the Savannah river. This
will afford much more cheap and rea-
dytransportation to port than any now
existing for the large quantity of cotton,
which is the staple of the surrounding
country We understand that our fell
low citizen, DIR. Howard, with bis bri.
gade Of civil engineers, has been order.

expected to be. accomplished early in the

THE THREE JEWS, or the Children

There are now in the prison of this
city, three genuine defendants of A bra

and Isascs, OF London, are charged we
believe with stealing horse from Moses

from Jerusalem in Judea, to Baltimore, in
America, and there was defrauded Of
much valuable property by bis brother

genuine. Moses also exhibtes Balti

These three Circuit cised Jews travel

their recent quarrels we have not now

readers may come TO court where legal

upon the security and apathy of the

They reckon without their host. Mary

From the Rockville True american.
We have learned that the knowing ones
of the jackson party have still hope. Of
success in this county, and the calcula-
ton upon which these hopes are found
ed, serves much to amuse us. You must
then know, reader, that their calculation
is nothing more nor less than this: that
the Administration men are perfectly sa-
tisfed with the victory won in october,
and believe that their conduct and valor
is no longer needed; thus satisfied, they
will be lulled into fatal sleep, whilst
the Jacksonians appear in full force at
the polls, carry tho election, and declare
afterwards, that the trial made in Octo.
