From the (Boston) Columbian Centinel.

The result of the Presidential election in December next, greatly interests and agitates the public mind. From the best information drawn from real information received from all the states, it is rendered highly probable that the following will be the result of the choice.

The whole number of votes to be taken is 138, of which 70 is the majority.

72
66

This result is predicated upon the idea of the existence of an honourable confidence between all the Federalists of the Union, that such electors will be chosen as will vote fully and fairly for JOHN ADAMS as President and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, as Vice-President.If this confidence is well founded, it is certain that Mr. Adams will be continued President, and Gen. Pinckney be elected Vice-President of the United States- an event most devoutly to be wished. But if Electors are appointed who will not vote thus honourably and fairly, it is highly probable, that no one of the candidates will have a majority of the votes. For if the Federal Electors of the Southern States ascertain that such men are chosen Electors in the Northern, as will throw away the votes of either of the Federal Candidates they will exercise the same privilege, and throw away theirs of the other. In plain words-if the Massachusetts Electors, for instance, throw away, as they did at the last choice, their votes from Pinckney, the South-Carolinians will throw theirs away from Adams. In this case (which may Heaven avert) the persons having the five highest numbers of votes of the Electors will be the Candidates ; from which the present House of Representatives of the United States, must elect the President ; but in this case, two thirds of the States must be represented, the election made by States, and a majority of the states necessary to constitute the choice. The votes of nine states will therefore make a choice. The question then is, which are the States from which Federal votes may be expected ? We answer, New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode-Island, New-Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia-Ten in all. —But for whom will they vote ? The seven former for Mr. Adams, the three latter for Gen. Pinckney. Thus no choice will be made without a mutual compromise. The States of New-York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, will unquestionably vote for Mr. Jefferson.Vermont will probably be divided, and of course loose its vote. The above Facts speak feelingly to the good sense of the Northern States; and point out to them the absolute Necessity of appointing Electors who are known to be Men, who will vote, one and all for Adams and Pinckney ;-and we pledge ourselves they will not be betrayed or deceived by their Southern Brethren.
