Besides Major Barry is said 10 be embarrassed in
his circumsiances--an the reader will see with
what adroi,ness the Commentator is milking this
leading point i'll the cause. He is also member
OF the legal proe ssion-not the most popular caste
at this moment in Kentucky; whilst General Met
calfc is supported by some persons as Mechanic.
Yet whatever be the reasons TO affect the
Of the citizens. all our accounts agree in showing
that General NJ. cannot succeed without obtaining
some OF the Jackson votes-and hence il j. these
accounts most explicitly state that his poll in Au-
gust will not be correct criterion oil MIR Adams's
| in November. We have before Us a letter ii ON an
intelligent gentleman in Kentucky, who has parti-
cular uppot unitics of Judging of the OF pub
lie opinion. He rsnGylss, expressly, that local
siderations will enter into the contest to a consi
derabe extent; that the great majority OF the Jack
son men arc OF opinion that Barry will be elected;
that such OH the whole is his impression; tho
ne thinks, for the reasons assigned, that the
suit is doubtful But he states, rs his decided 0pi-
nion that the election of Governor will be 40
curate index of the election OF President, and that
Kentucky will go by decided majority for Gen
.Jackson-Ibs opinion seems 10 derive strong con-
firmaton from the last August election OF members
of Congress. Seven jackson men were elected 10
five Administration en-, and some months alter
wards, On the decease OF one OF the friends of the
Administration, eighth jackson carried The
day. These elections obviously influenced
by the Presidential question: which made the
test by the friends OF MIR. Clay. That election did
turn national, this will partly turn State,
1oli,ics.
Upon the whole, we have come to the two con-
ciusions that the election of Governor is uncertain
though We deem it probable that Barry will he e.
lected-and I'd, that let the Governor election 90
as It may in August, Gen. J. will carry the MAORI
ty in November.

And after all, this election in Kentucky, though
il attracts great attention, and exces great inter-
est, is not important il has been represented.
Admit hIe.calfe 10 he elected, yet all must admit
that Jackson has powerful interest in the very
centre OF Mr.. Clay's own state, where his friends
are fighting pro drtS ct f0cis. Nay; give Mr.. A.
dams every vote which any candid man has nither
10 assigned him; give him Kentucky, give him
Ohio-and he will yet fall short nearly 80 votes.
The election still turns upon the great states of
y. York and Pennsylyania-and what doubt is
there of the result? Will he obtain his 80 votes
in N York? The friends OF jackson will have in

We consider, indeed, the friends of Mr.. Clay
