From the Kentucky Reporter, of Aug 10.
Although the Official returns of the late EIec
non OF Governor have not yet been collected
and published, information enough has been
rece red to enable US 10 state, that the cause
OF the Administration has completely triumphed
in the election o! General Metcalfe as Governor,
and Mr. Underwood as Lieutenant Governor
OF this Commonwealth The political complex.
ion OF the General Assembly will not be known
with certainty, until that body assemblies in
December next; but we believe also. that a
majority OF each branch will be found favorable
TO the Administration. The jackson party
have not Only lost the two highest Executive
Offices IN the state, bur they have also certainly
lost their late Speaker, and their candidate for
Congress in the only dlstrict-the one lstel,
represented by Gen Metcalfe-in which an e.

Without being disposed TO indulge IN any
unhecoming spirit of e2ultation A. a, this happy Is

people otthe United States, and OF THIS State,
and we congratulate the friends of Civil Liberty

Jag to the friends of the Administration
Elections have recently taken place in
Louisiana, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri
and Illinois. In the three first named
states, the Administration party has com.
pletely triGmphed. In Missouri, as far
as ascertained, the Administration voie
is two to one-the state will most likely
go for the Administration. Thus in the
five states in which the elections have
Justterminated four have very probably
gone for the AGministration-the fifth
as likely as rot Torch Lighi.
Upon what grounds dothe friends
of Gen Jackson insist upon making
him President OF the United States:
Because he saved "the booty and
beauty of n Orleans The people
of New Orleans say they will not vote
for HIM as President. Bot then he
fought the battle OF New Orleans. Still
they will not vote for him. Aye but he
beat the British at New Orleans. Ne
vertheless they know too much about
him 10 want him for President. Still
further he gained a glorious victory at
New Orleans. 1t matters not, they
will not vote for him His saving
The "baoty and beauty" of New Or,
leans-his fighting the battle of New
Orleans-his beating the British at
New OrIeans-his gaining a glorious
victory al New OrIeans-all, all, fail
TO convince the people of New Orleans
that he is fit for the Presidency II.
The men who attempted 10 assassin
ate DR.. armstrong, in Bedford coun-
tn, Tennessee, justify themselves for
their brutal attack on him, upon the
ground that itwassuppoSed hehad an The
press. a communication, in whichit soaS
said, he, meant to charge the father oil
two OF them with having been a tory.
This justification appears to be quite
satisfactory TO the editor OF the Nash.
Vile Republican, a paper devoted to
Gen. Jackson. Here then, we find the
official organ of Gen Jackson Justify
ing and sanctioning n of the grossest
violations Of personal right ever perpe
traled ia this, or any other country
upon the mere supposition, that an in.
jury was contemplated TO be inflicted
But this is ola piece with most of the
v%indications set up by the party.
