The kentucky Reporter takes the
following sensible retrospect of the ,ats
election IN that commonwealth:
"Since our last the polls of the several
counties have been examined at Frank.

competitors for the first Office. The
party contest was mainly confined to
the candidates for Governor. IF the &C.
tuai majority for General Metcalfe is
less than was anticipated by the Admin.
Istration party, Major Barry has also
fallen far shor. of the expectations Of
the jackson party. The resultin every
point Of view is encoura girg to the
friends of civil government. They must
feel increased confidence in the success
Of their Gauss at the final election, which
will take place on the first Monday in
November. We have already triumphra

The border counties were abundantiy
supplied with inAammatory addresses
and handbills, printed at the Republican
Office in Nashville; and we have been
assured by gentlemen of The first respec-
liability, that arrangements were made
near the line of the two states to send
voters from Tennessee 10 our polls
What other means were used in that
quarter to sustain the jackson cause, We
know not; but nearer home a system OF
fraud was detected which has no paiai'

double voting was frustrated here, but
may it not have been carried into execu-
ltion elsewhere2
The jackson men persuade then-
selves that there is still some chance tor

election. One of the most intelligence Of
the party, however, acknowledged SINCE
the election Of Metcalfe. that it was al
over with them; and that a majority OF
Ten THOUSAND might be expected
for tue Administration in the fall.
