The number of electors had been enlarged by the new apportionment, and Delaware had provided for the choice of electors by a popular vote, leaving South Carolina as the only State to appoint electors by the Legislature. That State continued the system of the legislative choice of electors without interruption until the civil war of 1861. Several of the States also abandoned the election of delegates by the district system, Maryland alone adhering to it. In Alabama there was no electoral ticket opposed to Jackson, and the popular vote is not attainable. Georgia was also without an anti-Jackson electoral ticket, while Missouri, that was friendly to Clay in 1824, seems to have made no battle for him against Jackson. The following is the popular vote, as nearly as it can be ascertained: ═══════════════╤══════════╤════════ STATES. │ Jackson. │ Clay. ───────────────┼──────────┼──────── Maine │ 33,291 │ 27,204 New Hampshire │ 25,486 │ 19,010 Vermont │ 7,870 │ 11,152 Massachusetts │ 14,545 │ 33,003 Rhode Island │ 2,126 │ 2,810 Connecticut │ 11,269 │ 17,755 New York │ 168,497 │ 154,896 New Jersey │ 23,856 │ 23,393 Pennsylvania │ 90,983 │ 56,716 Delaware │ 4,110 │ 4,276 Maryland │ 19,156 │ 19,160 Virginia │ 33,609 │ 11,451 North Carolina │ 24,862 │ 4,563 South Carolina │ ――――――― │ ――――――― Georgia │ 20,750 │ ――――――― Alabama │ ――――――― │ ――――――― Mississippi │ 5,919 │ ――――――― Louisiana │ 4,049 │ 2,528 Kentucky │ 36,247 │ 43,396 Tennessee │ 28,740 │ 1,436 Missouri │ 5,192 │ ――――――― Ohio │ 81,246 │ 76,539 Indiana │ 31,552 │ 15,472 Illinois │ 14,147 │ 5,429 ├──────────┼──────── Totals │ 687,502 │ 530,189 ═══════════════╧══════════╧════════
