We believe, then. that the votes Of Kentucky are
to be enumerated among those favorable to the Ad-
m,nistraton.
Adding tho votes of Kentucky to those before
mentioned, the sum total amounts to nearly one hal
Of all the electoral votes; and, in order
cess, is only farther neccessary that the President
should receive considerable number, less, however,
than he obtained the former election, Of the votes
Of New York. That he will receive the requisite
number OF these votes, we entertain no doubt how
ever. Information from every part OF the State, AMI
the opinions OF pc, sous among the most competent to
judge conspire To produce satisfaction this point.
We hazard the prediction, and we persuaded the
intelligent People Of that State will, in due time,
most fully and triumphany verify it, that the
of the Opposition is destined to receive, in New
York, signal, overthrow and defeat.
Such is the view which has convinced us, that,
with Just and proper ebs, the par' OF he friends
oi the Adam sraion, there ~ nothing which can be
by expected to prevent the reelection of the
present President. And, Tor the sake OF s,inciness,
we repeat our belief that Neto England, Neto Jer-
ssy. Deiacdre, Mayiand, Ohio, Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Louisiana, kentucky, and Ne,o York, will
make that event sure.
