Sc. SC. But who moved the enquiry bejore?-
Mr. Ciay-Who called for it, before the fact OF his
appointment as Secretary OF State had confirmed
the prediction that he would be so; and added CO.
lor to the suspicion OF his arrangement between
him and Mr.. A.? Mr.. Clay called for it-and yet
now when he makes out that General jackson had
been his accuser, instead of George kremer-
when suspicious had gathered more thickiy around
bm-when the inves,iga ton before the Senate of
Kentucky had brought out facts which had star
tied all his friends, why did he not himself call
again Tor new enquiry: The conclusion is far
more logical than the one to which he would
duct us-ihat he was unwilling to meet the
cuser, face TO face, and confront himself with
witnesses"-and that be thought il safer to appeal
to ignorance and prejudice, and g TO rely upon
infiaming and agitaiing the public

This letter is efficiently decisive "a to the votes

hentuchY-Ihe accounts from this State are
very contradictory Both parties are, or affect to
be, sanguine in their calculations The last Lou
isville Advertiser says:
In relation 10 the Gubernatoyial Election, we
have only room to state, that the prospects of the
sired Barrys majority south of Green River
will 6e at least 25D0, and north of Green River
1t will not fall short of 1000 more .
The Frankfort Comm ntator, the oher hand,
counts majority for Metcalfe of from 10 y O0D.
The contest Is likely TO be a close one; though
both parties seem 10 admit, that many of the
friends OF Jackson will vote for Metcalfe. The
Commentator itself declares, Z" thai there are
many decided Jdshson men who will not vote for
Barry because his State politics have been Of

votes Tor President. We disposed to think that
b. i'll be elected but if he does not get the vote in
Angus, Jackson will get it in November.-Yet II
MetcaIle does carry the day in August, and Ad-
ans in November, what then? Give Mr.. A. eve

even then he will be nearly 30 votes minus The

friends IN Kentucky not, therefore, so much
struggling TO- the Presidency, as tor place of

the battle has been lost and won-lhey are only
striving to cover their retreat. The fortress even
is taken, and they are retiring into the citadel,
which they will hold out as long as they can a.
gainsi the victors.
All our accounts from .Neso York are Of the
most hatieTing descI lption. The old party lines
have been run; and the republicans (Bucktails and
CintonaDs) are marching Oh in one strong and
sod Column. The friends OF the Administration
are reduced TO the necessity OF eking out their
electoral ticket by putting upon it several Federal
bleciors-aInong whom, is the respectable Mr.

National ineiiigencer cannot disguise his political
