RICH uONiD, (Ken.) Aug. 90
Tbs Presidential Election The 70.
election # dr Adams no longer remains
doubtful Kentucky has taken her stand
in bis favour. New York will support
him, and there is every reason 10 count
on the vote of Pennsylvania.
Gen METcALPs, u newly elected
Goyerner, was one Of the members of
Congress who AZ the last Presidential a.
lection, voted for Mr.. Adams. His con.
duct ia giving that vote was directly
brought into scrutiny before the people
in the late canvass. and his vote .ano-
toned aud ratified BY the people efKen-
lucky. II is also known that in the can.
vass for Governor his opponent had ma
nv advantages over him. For instance.
Gen Metcalfe was a member of Com
gress, and owing TO the protracted ses-
sion of that body, he never returned TO
Kentucky until June. The ~sequenc
was that he was not enabled 10 visit mora
than halt the ~counsies in the state. On
the other side Mai. Barry from the time
of his domination on the Sth of January
commenced al active canvass. lie was
present at the nomination, saw and min.
gled with the members of the conyan-
ton ard made an animated speech in fa-
vor Of Jackson and Reform. The leg.
i~slature was 10 Sc ssion and v~isiter, in a.
bundance a: Frankfort from every part
of the state. Shortly after the l~egisla.
ture rose. and as early as the fourth
Monaayin February, lac commenced his
tour OF the state, and was increasingly
engaged until the close Of tho election.
The Speaker of the House at thu LAST
session. a strong Jacksonian is beat,
which IS also er strong evidence at
the determination Of Kentucky In Esup.
port Mr.. Adsms-especiaIly whom ii Is
kaown that he is a man OF foe talents
and great personal popularity, and that
ne was beat by a Constable, who ran un.
der many disadvantages.
Another strong evidence of the deter
mined course OF Kentucky is the eleo-
tim IF Mr. Chambers, an administra-
tian man to Congress, as the successor
Of Gen. Metcalte
There is but one more struggle TO make.
and the cause Of the people and Of civil
liberty wilt be completely triumphant
We mean the election Of Electors on the
first Monday 10 November next. On
that and The two succeeding DAYS the fate
OF the nation will be decided so far as
Kentucky is concerned. Every citizen
should act as if the cause depended on
him alone, and without bis vote and his
neighbours being given there was some
risk. The friends Of constitutional gov.
eminent have for eight years past had q
Governor against them. Now they have
one OF their own choice--one who will
cheer them in their difficulties. Let them
not then fold their arms in security at
this partial success, and let their onpo.
nents by their remissness obtain over
them a greater victory. A majority of
the voters Of Kentucky are friendly to
the administration, and il they will come
to tho polls, and a full vote is given. we
have nothing TO fear. Animated by our
late success let US act with new life and
vigour. Let US shew the people OF other
states that we are not Indifferent TO our
racter-t that we will moi tamely lie
still and hear the pride of the state and
Of the nation, u distinguished fellow
citizen Harry CLAY, rubbed Of his fair
name, and prosecuted beyond example

iDthe House OF Commons or the
l7th July. some sparring took place
between Mr. Secretary Peel and Mr..
Otway Cave, while a motion of~sh-
latter. relative 10 the gaol and house of
correction in Leicester, was under con.
sideration. Owing to a misrepresenta-
ZION of the meaning of a remark Of the
Secretary, Dir. Cave insinuated that be-
had spoken falsely. The SpeakereEll-
ed on Mr. Cave to make an apology,
and after much conversation between
him and MI. G and the interference
and explanation OF several members of
the House, an apology was offered.
