Mr.. Bradford,
The following statement contains so
much useful infurnlation that am induced to re-
quest you to re-pubish it have annexed my view
Of the probable result Of the Presidential election.
a Politician.
Mr. Printer, has been commended that Mr. Adams was
elected President contrary the spirit of the Constitutions
and tina, the majority Of the American people were in To-
your of General Jackson. How stands the case
In 1894 there four candidates tor the presidency,
and in the electoral college Mr. Adams had 81 votes, Gen.
Jackson &c. Mr. Crawford H. Mr.. Clay S7no one having
majoratv Of the whole NUMBER which necessary in or
der to choice-General jackson the highest had little
more than thirdly the 18th article OF the amend
ments of the Constitution, if person have majority OF
the whole number of electors hen from the persons Iav-
ing the highest numbers, not exceeding three on the list
of those voted for President the house ct representa-
tves shall choose Immediately by BALLOT the Presidents but
in choosing the president the votes shall be taken by States
he represe ntaton om each state having one vote &c.
In this mode Mr. Adams elected, having u members,
representing thirteen States with free popula-

statss. With a free population of c6e5,262
vs. stats with = free population Of 1,15o,026
Mr. Adams therefore having Is States out OF "a, had
clear majority and constitnonaly elected President
This is not denird but opponents assert, that ma
,ory of the States, if their 7vishes had been complied
y It'll, were opposed to his election We do not see by
what process of reasoning, those ingenious cacutos ar
rive the fact If the majority OF the States were oppos-
ed to Mr. Adams, they were certainly not IN favour OF
General Jackson otherwise he would have been elected
In truth no man can tell what asceained; the
electoral votes divided among the four candidates
and what the result might have been, any one OF them

These statements have been gross in the extreme;
and they explain to US remark made by Jackso-

ported, that they did not propose that the report
should be acted upon; but it should go forth among
the people and trup discomfort and distrust OF the
adminlstsatlon-that it was meant for, and would be
found useful in creating an excitement which would
operate in favor of General Jackson by showing the
