cd correct views OF the Kentucky elections
as to which there has been so much vaporing
chuckling, and boastng by the Jackson pres
sos in different sections Of the country Sub.
scqucnt events, and facts as to the existence
Of which all agree, have shewn that wo were
correct; that the elections so far from fur
nishng causes for rejoicing to the friends OF
tho military chieftain, render it morally Ger.
tain that Mr.. Adams will have the whole G.
lectoral votes of that State. Since the cleo
tions in that state, others highly important
have taken place: in fact for the last two
or threo woeks, every southern breeze has
brought to us Indignation that could not be
viewed il, any other light, than that of an un-
favorable flaw by the jackson interest. Elcc-
tions have taken place in Delaware, Mary
land, and Pennsylvania, all Of which have O.
ventuatod in favor Of the administration, and
have beon moro favorable than we anticipa.
ted Delaware has boen claimed by the Jack,
son party, and her electoral votes have been
put down by his friends ns votes upon which
he might certainly calculate-the late elcc,
tion has shewn that they will be given for mr.
Adams, for the Legislature choose the elec.
tors, and great majority ofthe members just
elected, arc pledged to support his election.
The strength of parties has been fairly tried
in The election Of mr.. Johns the Adams can.
didato TO the next Congress, ir opposition TO
mr., Bayard, the friend-of Jackson. The ma
lority was much larger than any ono that has
been given for many years So much then,
fer little Delaware. with soul as Major No
ah has said, large enough for continent
and we cannot but admire "the loftiness or
her soul" and living in smaller state, can
not consequently find fault with the "lowli
ness Of her stature" We wish that other
states larger than Delaware would follow the
good example, set by the friends of he Admi-
nistration in that State; If they would, we
should not waste our strenth by divisions, and
give our enemies protext for rejoicing when
there is not in fact any good grounds for it
DR. Nudainc, in that State, has been for
number Of years, the competitor of Nc
Lane, and at tho last election Of that gentle.
man was but seventy votes behind him.--At
the late cleo tion he was again put in nomina.
ton by tho republican friends of mr. Adams,
and although perhaps the prominent candi-
dato, yet for fear Of the evil consequences of
division among friends, he magnanimously
declined being n candidate, and with all his
influence supported mr.. Johus, the federal
candidate friendly to mr.. Adams, and thus Sc
cured the election of an administration man.
Delaware has grown wise by experience; the
people of that State have learnt n lesson in
tho election last winter, oftwo Jackson sena-
tors, owing to division among the friends of
the Administration, when the Legislature was
decidedly opposed to them, which they will
not soon forget. Let other States become
wise, and guard against evils in the same
way.
Connected with the election in Delaware,
we have few words of comfort for some Of
our democratic friends in this State, who have
serious apprehensions that mr. Adams admin
istration will break up party distinctions, if
not restore the old federal party, In the first
place, who first urged the necessity and ad-
vocated the propriety Of this' Jackson him
self, in his letter to mr.. Monroe, which has
been often quoted, and more than one hun
dred times referred to within tho last two
years In the second place, who commenced
the business of uniting with the old federal
party whenever any thing could be gained by
the union? the friends of Jackson. And in
the third place, who has at this moment with
in its ranks the most virulent and the mos,
factious of the federal party2 the Jackson par
ty:--instanco, Timothy Pickering, Coleman
of New York; Winchester of Baltimore, and
fifty others might be named of not much less
note. Who in Delaware supported federal
ist' the friends Of Adams, Republicans and
fcdcralists: the friends Of Jackson, Republi
cans and federplists, (but great majority o
them federalists,) did the same, for they sup
ported James A. Baycrd, federalst th,
friend and protcge Of Louis McLanc. WhC
is McLane and Ridgley, tho Senators from
that State' Fcderalists, and the friends o
Jackson Our squeamsh democratic friends
uhere are but few of thom,) have no fear
for consequences when fedcraists and demo
Gratis unite IN the support Of Jackson--but th'
moment this is done in relation 10 Mr. Adams
the old Republican party is approaching it
dissolution, Would these men have beer
troubled in conscience if Bayard bad bcstei
Johns we do not believe they would bav,
been. Would their fears have been excited
