Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1831-09-26

H'F'SSSIN ICT y cnplCc Lilo Votes. W. nave set
do rn all the votes OF Maine for Jackson, and those
OF Maryland for Clay. If those States should con.
tnuc tp choose electors by districts, the votes will
probably hc divided, hut in either event, State
will probably about balance the other. II the votes
of Pennsylvania he added to those Of the other
Jackson States, the number viii, he but l4l, winch
Will be insufficient to make choice. 1t is appa-
rent, therefore, that without the votes of New
y ori, or those OF some State in which there is
now decided majority against Jackson. he cannot
be reelected by the people. 1t is also apparent,
that no other candidate than jackson, If he re-
Ccvcs the votes of New ork, can DO elected with
out either the votes OF Pennsylvania, . those Of
all the States here set down for Mr.. Clay. This is
enough 10 show, that any division of the National
Republican votes, between Mr.. Clay and any 9TH
cr candidate Is almost corta;n to the reelcc-
ton OF Gen. Jackson.
We DO not here take into consideration the prob
ability OF changes in the public sentiment which
may take place between this time and the date Of
the election, TO an extent sufficient to change the
votes of some of the States Such changes in a
few instances may be regarded as not very improh-
able. Yet they cannot be relied on as a basis of
present calculation.
We cnbrance the present occasion, whilst
speaking Of Sir. CLAWS qualifications, to lay be fore
our readers the following testimonial in their ia
vur, which we met with the other dav, in reading
Prcntica's Life of Henry Clay. 1t was written as,
the date shows, about year ago, and proves that
the writer's high admiration of Mr.. Clay contin-
ucd long after the termination of his official service,
during which he had the best possible opportunity
