Extract Of letter to the Editors ofthe Richmond Wing
dated Bowling Green, Ky. 9th June.
The state OF Kentucky has been much misre
presented in the opposition prints, relative to
the sentiments ofthe people upon the next pre-
sidential election. An endeavor is making to
impress the conviction abroad, that the Hero
is to receive the vote Of this state. You may
rely on it, there is no rational prospect OF such
an event. We who live here kno,S, that such
declarations are made for effect, and furnish evil
dence, that the cause that requires them is
sinking cause. Independent OF the fact that
Kentucky must forfeit all character for consis.
tency by deserving the administration, the hole
which Mr., Clay has upon the confidence and
affections Of the people is too strong 20 be sha-
lent and infammatory even than that which
now exists.
The annual elections are approaching. We
regard the congressional election in this dis
trict, represented by Mr.. F. Johnson, as already
settled.

congressional returns will be the same as last

district, an Adams candidate will succeed Le-

Adams men, Notwithstanding there are in each
two Administration candidates, popular men,

STATE OF NEW YORK.-The friends
of General Jackson have uniformly claimed
for their chief share of the votes OF New
York for the Presidency.-Some have gone so
far to say that he would receive &c out OF the So
electoral votes A gentleman who has recent,
ly travelled over great part Of that state, and
taken particular pains to ascertain the sena'
ments of the people, assures us, that IN the
Northern, Middle, end Western sections, Gene'
raj Jackson is not the choice Of one man IN
twenty, and that it is only in the city OF New
York and very few counties IN Its vicinity,
that he will make any thing like respectable
poll, and even there his popularity is not SUI
ficient 10 obtain him single elector. Our IN,
