THE PROSPECT BEFORE US.
The Election in the State of Ohio having added (says the National Intelligencer) another to the number of States which have enrolled themselves on the side of the cause of Civil Liberty and the Constitution of the U. States, the result of the approaching election of President and Vice President of the United States becomes more and more certain. In succession, we have received assurances from the ballot-box, of the loyalty to Free Principles and Republican Government, in opposition to Martial Law and Despotic Rule, of the following States giving the number of electoral votes annexed to them respectively:
IN ALL, 112
That, A MAJORITY OF THE STATES have already declared in favor of the Administration.
The vote of New-York, it would be insulting to the intelligence of the People of that State, to doubt. A bare majority of the electoral vote of that State, decides the election in favor of the re-election of the patriotic, upright, and unimpeachable ADAMS, without counting upon any other States. We claim from that State twenty-four votes.
For General Jackson the following States may be said to have declared:
In ALL 70
The vote of NORTH-CAROLINA will in all probability be given to the General; which, strong vote from MARYLAND, will put him to eighty-six votes; and there he stands a chance of sticking. For we claim the votes of VIRGINIA and ILLINOIS, from which no indications have yet been received: and we will not surrender them until they themselves pronounce their abandonment of all the principles which have given strength and beauty to our political system. Then how stands it for the Administration?
FOR ADAMS AND RUSH 163
