State OF Ohio, found your esteemed letter Of
10th instant in waiting for me. Owing To
the short time have been at horne, | an, 10.
able to reply to your enquiries SO fully .,
could wish. but as you are pleased to expires,
favorable opinon Of my judgment in matters
that are presented TO INV view, will briefly 81,
that Ohio will not give her vote to re-rlect Gen.
eraI Jackson, and from the best information
could get in travelling through the interior
Pennsylvania, that Ritner will be elected Gov.
enor Of that state, that the electoral vote viii na
be given to Jackson. As to New York, as sure
as one month succeeds another, GRANGER vii
be elected Governor, and the electoral ticket Op
posed to Jackson will succeed by majority Of na
less than 5000, but most probably 10000 votes
| am no betting man, otherwise | would wiling
ly risk $1,000 upon the accuracy Of this informs
tion."
