"Who do you think will be President,"
is a question asked by almost every person;
the answer generally corresponds, with the
wishes of the individual, who makes the
reply. The fears of many honest men have
been excited, and they frankly declare they
are apprehensive the Jacobins will prevail.
In order to remove all doubts, to confirm
the wavering, to convince the deluded, and
to strengthen the friends of our government,
we will show by a comparative statement,
that it remains with the Federal Republ-
cans to say, who shall, or who shall not
fill these important offices. In order to ef-
fect this, we this day publish the votes giv-
en in 1796 and then state, from authentic
information, what will be the probable re-
sult at the approaching election, by which
it will clearly appear that we are, at least four
years longer to be blessed with independence,
prosperity and plenty, provided the Federa-
lists act as becomes them on this important
question.
In North Carolina 1 vote was given for
C. C. Pinckney and 3 for Judge Iredell.
The above is an exact copy of the votes
as given at the last election, by which it
appears, that Mr. Jefferson obtained the
Vice-Presidency by only 2 votes; and he
owes his office to the Jealousy of the New.
England States at that time, for it appears
that New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, threw away 18
votes, this consequence was, that Mr. Jeffer-
son, was elected, whereas, had they voted
for Adams and Pinckney, Mr. Jeffer-
son would have been left out by 16 votes and
Mr Pinckney would have been President
and Mr Adams Vice-President: —This fatal
mistake, we trust, will be remedied at the
ensuing election, upon this ground we offer
the following.
By this statement, which will we doubt
not, come very near to the result of the Elec-
tion, it appears Mr. Adams will be 19 votes
and Mr. Pinckney 16 above Jefferson, con-
sequently Mr. A. will be President, and Mr.
P. Vice-President, but Should Pennsylvania
have no vote, then the Federal Majority will
be increased,—We will now state what
the Jacobins anticipate, by which it will
appear that if their most sanguine calcula-
tions are realized, exclusive of their vain
dependence on Pennsylvania, they cannot
get in their Candidates. Their only hope,
now is, that Rhode-Island will give 3. for
Jefferson, Maryland 7, Tennessee 2. North-
Carolina 7 —Should this actually be the
case, which we do not hesitate to say,
will not be so in Rhode Island, it would
take 8 votes from Mr. Adams, and 8 from
Mr. Pinckney, the votes would then stand
thus :
Thus it appears, that they cannot pos.
sibly obtain their Candidate unless it is by
neglect on the part of the Federal Electors.
Should the above be the result, the Vice-
Presidency will be determined agreeable to
the constitution. We hope and trust that
the Federal Electors, will unanimously vote
for Adams and Pinckney, and if they do,
the country will inevitably be preserved
from Jacobinic Rule, and Adams and Pinck-
ey, secure in the People's Love, will pur-
sue the policy, commenced by our regret-
ted Washington.
From the most correct information we
can obtain, it appears probable, that
Maryland will elect five republican and
five federal electors—Thus says a demo-
cratic paper published by S. H. Smith,
at Washington;—we, however, think
there will be seven.
