personal observation, of the violent feelings which the
contest between the and old parties had engen

the vocacy of measures, deemed by them erroneous
and unjust in principle, miscellaneous their general

are, however most agrceaby disappointed, in having it

TO THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.
The Shcritis friendly to the election of General
Andrew Jackson to the Presidency, present to the
people OF Kentucky complete official returns of the
vote OF Governor and Lieutenant Governor, with
such other information as may lead to correct
conclusions to the results of the late election
By the official statement, it will be seen, that
Thomas Metcalle, the Adams candidate, is elect.
John Breathi,t the Jackson candidate for I.euten.
ant Governor, is elected by majority Of 1857.
It is not dicultto account for this result Ma
Jor Barry. the jackson candidate for Governor was
a-Judgc efthc New Court, and mulitudes of Old

account.
