* Favorable to the present Administration-15. The others opposed-11.

* At the four first Elections, no discrimination was made between votes for President and Vice President; each Elector voting for two candidates, and the highest on the poll being President and the next Vice President.

Under the constitution as it then stood, there was no choice for President; the votes for Jefferson and Burr, the Democratic candidates, being equal. The House after a protracted and most exciting struggle, elected Mr. Jefferson President; whereupon Burr became Vice President.

Mr. Ingersoll received only the Federal votes; Mr. Clinton those of New York in addition.

Gov.Wm.Plumer, of N.H., voted for J.Q Adams, who was not a candidate. In the House of Representatives, Adams received the vote of 13 States, Jackson of 7, Crawford of 4.

¶ South Carolina voted for Ex-Gov. Floyd of Va. and H. Lee of Boston. Pennsylvania voted for Jackson, but eschewed Van Buren and cast her vote for Wilkins. Vermont voted for Wirt and Ellmaker, (Anti-Masonic.)

** Tennessee and Georgia voted for White and Tyler; Maryland for Harrison and Tyler; South Carolina for Mangum and Tyler; Massachusetts for Webster and Granger; Virginia for Van Buren and Judge Smith of Alabama. Col. R. M. Johnson having just half the votes for Vice President, the Senate proceeded to elect; whereupon Col. Johnson received 33 votes and Francis Granger 16.
