the Relief and Anti-Relief, or the Old Court and
New Court parties. These elections were for the
State Legislature, except oneto fill Mr. Clay's
cancy in Congress. James Clarke was elected

50 Ofthese Counties for the Relief System. %
Counties to hear from-It appears that the Consti-
tutional party has triumphed.
The editor of the Kentucky Gazette informs his
readers, that the evening, at the close of con-
gressonai election, the friends of Mr. Wickliff
one of the candidates, assembled at his house to
partake of some refreshments for the OCCASION and
that from four to five hundred attended. Some per-
son is suspected OF having mixed tartar emeiic with
the liquors drank on that occasion, and one man
has been arrested, although no proof has yet been
produced sufficient to convict him of the offence
The sequel may easily be imagined. AT the dis
lance OF several miles from the house of entertain
ment, deplorable spectacle was presented, which
would have gratified the sarcastic pencil of Ho-
garth.
Georgia--The election for Governor takes place
in this State early in October The Candidates
are Governor Troup and General Clarke. The
contest will be violent that in Kentucky
Each party seems to be sangune of success. The
Creek disturbances are used an electoneering ar
gument on both sides. The Clarke party charge
upon the Governor the whole blame OF the present
state OF things; and they, In turn, accused of
being at the bottom of the whole controversy; of
uniting with the Indian Agents and other partizans
In stirring up the preudices and dissatisfaction of
the Indians, and of sacrificing the interest and
quillity the State for the Accomplishment ofther
political views.
.Aiabama.-The elections for Governor and
Members to Congress and the State Legislature,
and for Clerks, Sherifs, Commissioners, Sc. takes
place during the current month in Alabama. The
wide range OF these elections, embracing many
officers to be chosen by general suffrage, gives to
them great interest among the people; and conse-
qucntly produces an universal scene OF election
eering, of which we have heard several residents of
that State speak in terms Of regret. The Advo-
cate, of Huntsville, ofthe 9th inst. speaking of this
subject says Yet it is matter Of regret that they
cannot exercise the elective franchise without the
aid of Barbecues and whiskey. Are they because
they are well drenched with ardent spirits, any bet
ter able TO appreciate the worth, scan the mo-
tives of the several candidates, Can they, when
in that situation, more readily discover that one
man may be fool, or another demagogue, than
when sober? So far from it, that il tends directly
TO deprive them of every criterion for correct
Judgment. and renders them prey TO the unprinci-
pied and designing. Why then, we ask, is prac-
tice so debasng and demoralizing, so fraught with
vice, and sometimes blood-shed, perseyereJ in .
A nd why do not the better sense of the community
put it down at once, and frown into silence all its
aiders and abettors? We did fondly ho.e that such
an event wouldere this have taken place, and that
the evil would finally have cured itself, and that
the time would soon arrive, when votes would no
longer be bought or attempted TO be bartered for
tchiskey From what we Witnessed however, on
last Monday, much fear that that time is yet far
distant. Never in our lives Before did we witness
such profusioh OF treating any public occasion,
and it is the first time that we have ever seen bot
ties parsded in rows in different parts of the public
square, with labels containing the names Of the
several candidates, which stranger who did not
know the CUSTOM, would have taken. for the name
Of the liquor the bottle contained, and not Of the
person who fuThished IT,"
