Extract of letter from gentleman in Christian Coun
ty, dated September 2.
eve have four candidates already to I'LL the
vacancy in Congress occasioned by the death Of
Mai Henry. Doctor Henry, who is one OF
them, takes warm stand in opposition to the
course pursued by his brother, and declares that
Jackson is his last choice, and that the election
in the House of Representatives was pure one
Jas. Breathitt and and John Gray are also de-
cdedy in favor Of the Administration, and "a
gainst Jackson-F. c. Sharp says he voted for
Jackson, but he is greatly enamoured with the
Administration and will support it-You have
no conception of the great popularity OF Mr..
CLAW and the Administration-The never
was more unanimous and decided expression
of public sentiment before an election %
In the district lately represented by the de-
ceased Col. Johnson, DR.. Holt has taken the
field for General Jackson; Messrs. Brown and
Sanford are in favor of the Administration
We have not heard that Messrs. Mediation,
Coleman, and Rachford, who are candidates in
the same district, have taken either side The
election, we understand, will take place the first
Monday in November, but we have seen no OF
fetal notice. Reporter.

INDIANA.

1t is now known to certainty, that Thomas
IT. Blake, Esq. has been elected to represent the
lst district Of Indiana in the Goth Congress OF
the u. S. We view the election of this gentle
man, as a Just cause Of exultaton to the friends
of the administration. Notwithstanding all the
power Of the oppositionists was arrayed against
him, and very unfair means resorted to, 10 en-
sure his defeat-he has succeeded by majority
that proves how useless were their eXertions to
try to subvert the will Of the people. Mr.. Blake
is gentleman Of great talent, and an undeyia-
ting and jealous friend TO the interests OF his
country. His acquisition to the councils of the
nation, will be hailed as triumph Of principle,
by the freemen Of the west; whose rights he has
so frequently and so firmly commended for.
The representation in the Goth Congress from
Indiana, will consist of Thomas H Blake, Oil
yer Fl. Smith and Jonathan Jennings, the two
first were elected in the place Of Ratliff Boor
and John Test, esqrs. the present members from
that state 1t is known that Mr.. Boon is an ac-
knowledged Jacksonian, and that Mr.. Test gave
bis vote in the House of Representatives to
Gen Jackson for President Their adhesion to
the General was probably the occasion OF their
defeat Therefore in the event OF another con-
lest before the House of Representatives IN
1929, the vote of Indiana will doubtless be given
to the present worthy incumbent

NEY-IERSEY.

The death knell of the old parties in, this
state seems to have been rung, and the new par
ties in favor Of, and against the administration,
are on the political arena preparing fora great
trial Of strength. Two separate tickets Will be
run for Congress; and the friends Of both
are making mighty efforts for success, the
strength Of the respective parties will, ii is be-
lieved, be fairly tested. If the friends of the adj
ministraton do their utmost, we have no lear
of the result, as we believe them capable of-out-
voting their opponents with ease. The Lion
of their strength has awakened from his SUM
bers, and is nov roaring an alarm through the
state. The ascendancy acq.ired TWO years
since by their adversaries, through their mac
tyi,y, if we do not greatly mistake, will be sha-
ken 10 the earth, and The administration party
be crowned with complete success.

MISSOURI.

Extract Of letter from gentleman of the first respect
ability at ST. LOUIS Missouri, August IS.
"Our election has resulted in the choice Of
Edward Bates, ESQ. an Attorney of this city,
Representative to Congress, instead Of Mr..
Scott. Mr.. Bates is man of fair standing, un-
improbable integrity, and great popularity;
and have no doubt but that the Administra-
traton will receive justice at his hands. He
voted for the Adams Elector at the polls Both
the candidates were confessedly friendly, and
known to be so, 10 the Administration | have
taken the liberty of making these remarks, in
order to contradict what will probably be said
in The papels, that MIR. Scott was beat on ac-
count of his vote on the Presidential question
That vote, to be sure, enlisted all the Jackso-
mans against him; but they are minority"
