 The most liberal estimate for MT Clay, in the Boston, Daily Advertiser, gives him, under the increased ra 2to of the census, only hundred and thrteenI
 votes including those of Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio Indiana, and Vermont, not of which, not more1 tthan one, will be for him. But even under the esti mate, election by the people cannot be prevent led. For besides setting down to Mir c. several Estates which he cannot obtan it quotes Pennsylva-

 those States conceive to be certainly for Gen. Jackson any two in the Union. But non-elec- i

He desires that one or more numbers oJ leach publication in the Junior may be for |warded to him as soon as possible-at least two numbers should be sent, by different mails, to avoid failure from miscarriages.

The Treasury and the Public Debt.-A leadngI feature in General Jacksons policy is the speedy extinction of the Public Debt. By the official mol tces which have just appeared, it will be seen that the new Secretary of the Treasury, MT MLane, isl cooperating heartily in the accomplishment of theI Presidents views. He has already given notice fsr the payment of six millions of dollars the 1st off January next; and, we understand he has purchas ed of the Bank of the United States, on iavorable terms the whole of the Public Debt held by that n stituton amounting to several millions: that the Public Debt which will have been paid of, during the first six months ofhis administration ofthe TreaI sury, will considerably exceed nine millions of dol lars. ..t It will also be perceived by notice from the Treasury Department in this days paper, that with double view of saving to the United States the in terest on the stock which advertised to be paid off on the lst of January next, and of accommodating those Stockholders who may find desirable opportu- mites for investment in the interval the Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the payment of the principal of such Stock may be perfected before that tne with the interest to the date of payment.
