The Popular Vote Of The Presidential Election.

The following is probably a fair estimate
what the actual maiorities will be. In some
States we have the official vote, in others, from
which the returns are not complete, we give an
estimate, which will bear correction as the cor
rect returns come in. These estimates, leaving
out Arkansas and Mississippi, from which returns
enough have not been received to make an est.
mate, make Folks aggregate majority l0l, ,032 :;
Clay's, 5s,l6o, Folks majority on popular vote,
42, $40. Birney's vote, far as reported, is
47,725 and only two States to hear from, in
which he will have any vote, Vermont and Maine.
At present, Polk's minority, compared with Clay
and Birney, is 1853. Arkansas will probably
give Polk 1000; Mississippi 1000. 1t depends
upon the Liberty vote in Vermont and Maine
whether Polk will be in a minority in the aggre.
gate vote.
