KENTUCKY ELECTION,

'Old Kentuck is safo.' The returns from Is
Of the s3 counties have been received, which
give Gen. THOMAS MErcALYE, the Admin
istration candidate for Governor, a majority Of
1882 votes over WILLIAM T. BARRY, the
Jackson candidate for the samo Office. The
contest was violent, perhaps the most so Of
any state election which has ever taken place
in this country. Jackson 70 Adam, was tho
ralying point. Adams has triumphed and the
question is now settled in that state. The
fourteen rofes Of kentucky are certain for
the Administration.

: TOWN MEETING.

The semi-annual Town Meeting for the
choice of Representatives to the General As
sembly, for the ensuing six months, was held
in this state yesterday. In this town, Edward
Darlington, Joseph l.. Tilinghast, Zachariah
Allen and John Andrews, Esqrs. were re-elec-
ted without opposition. JOSEPH l.. TILLING-
HAST, Esq. presided at the meeting as Mod
orator.
Considerable Municipal business was trans
acted. Richmond Bullock, Esq. moved that
the own Treasurer be directed to convey TO
the United States lot Of land near the old
Hospital, for the purpose of erecting a Marine
Hospital. After some discussion, Mr.. b. with
drew his motion in consequence of some doubts
arising as to the power of the town to dispose
of the land, and the Town Council were all
thorzed to select site for the location of
said Hospital, ascertain expenses, &c. and re-
port at the noxt Town Meeting.
1t was voted TO refer a bill for repairing q
bridge, which the Town Audit did not feel
themselves authorized to allow, to the Town
Council.
II was voted that the Town Treasurer be au-
thorzed TO sell the old Work House ,on condit-
ion that the purchaser remove the same within
80 days aGer said sale. This vote passed TO
include the Bridewel the modern Bastile) but
on motion of Mr.. f. Dyer, this vote was recon-
sidered. The motion Of Mr.. Dyer produced
warm and able discussion, in which Messrs.
Pratt and Staples wero the principal partici-
pators.]
.affernOon.-A motion was made to recede
from the vote passed in the forenoon TO Sc II the
old work house which was adopted after
long debate,
On molten, one grand and four petit Jurors

ted to draft a city charter, reported--which

Mr.. SPEAKER STEVENSON, again.-Ths
gentleman and his Jackson friends having de-
MED, or endoavored TO explain away the cx-
preston attributed to him, that eff Mr.. Nd
ans tpas reelected the Union ,could be dis
solped." several gentlemen have come out un-
der their own names and signatures in the
Richmond Wing, verifying in the strongest pos
sble terms the charge made against Mr..
Speaker, Of having used the Incorporate and
dangerous language above quoted. The Rich
mond Wing OF Saturday last thus commences
the letter:
"We are authorised by Mr.. Taylor to say,
that he did not hear the opinion expressed by
Mr.. s. in the presence of Mr.. Blair, but that
in a conversation between him and Mr.. s. on
the same morning, Mr.. Stevenson said to him /,
I" if John Quincy Adams is reelected, the
Union will be dissolved" This statement of
Mr.. Taylor proves that Mr.. Stevenson has t,Diee
(and we Fave reason to think that he has a
dozen timcs) expressed the same opinion since
his return from Washington. Mr.. Taylor is
unUiiiing to 20 into the particulars Of the
eonrersation, but he will do this If necessary,
and prove that the remark was used. accom-
painted by circumstances calculated to gipe

The disconiitted editor of the Investigator
is still in deep tribulaton, and now d,nlcs that
his paper is "religious publication" We
believe the whole community will assent to
the truth Of this assertion! There is not a
newspaper in the land, that has so much dab
bled in matters of religion as the Investigator,
for several months past, not TO say ged il
with his own profound expositions. He at
tempts to get clear from old "Or:hodox" by
pronouncng him counterfeit, and has actually
made desperate attempt to be witty. We
have not learned whether he is yet in a state
of c0nvalescence or not, but admonsh him to
use increased care of himself after so prodig-
Gus a strain, as the Dengue is said to be in the
neghbourhood Of Mill Bridge.
Wo have several communications OH hand
respecting the editor Of tho Investigator, writ
ter by men Of responsibility and talents, though
we may not find room 10 publish them ALL
The course pursued by the editor in assailing
several institutions and important branches of
business, has called forth the indignation of a
large and valuable portion Of the community,
who have been wantonly abused without prov
ocation.
One of the most unlucky mistakes in judge
ment tho editor has made, is an application OF
our remarks to himscTupon Religious News
papers" We shall not deny the proprcty of
the editors thrusting himself into the garment
and bu'toning it about him as snugy as posi-
bic. Since suitable care IS likely to be taxi
en- of him by our correspondents. and our busi-
ness requires our attention to more important
matters, we shall for the present endorse HIM
him over 10 them without RECOURSE"

We arc pleased to see tre notices which
have been published in this town, cau,ioning
the public against Moses Swartz, the swindling
Jew, obtaining a general circulation through
the columns ofthe different papers. We should
be pleased If our friends would communicate
to US information respe citing Moses, which they
may hereafter obtain. He is at this time,
probably, in the Western country. We should

MIssoUaI-Our private information is un-

leave it doubtful whether Mr.. DUNCAN or Mr..

makes him stronger than his party. II is quite
probable, therefore, though the State is for the
Administration, that he has been re elected
Ibid.
PENsYLvANIA.-By letter from Dauphn
county, under date Of the llth inst. we learn
that the changes in favor Of the Administration,
since the returns Of the Louisiana election, are
more numerous than before; and that, If the
Kentucky election shall resnlt in favor of Gen.
MetcaIfe, hundreds will abandon the cause Of

entertained by the best informed citizens, that
Dauphin and Lebanon CO mites would if the
election were this day, give majority of five
hundred in favor Of the Administration. Tho
majority will be much greater at the election,
from the daily accession of citizens who be-
come convinced Of the folly Of elevstng so un-

YoUNG News ADDREss.-The following
are the concluding paragraphs of the Young
Mems address at theConven,ion held at Utica.
Upwards of 400 delegates attended. SMITH
THOMPSON was nominated for Governor and
FRANCIS GRANGER, for Lieut.. Governor.
"We have thus, fellow citizens, explained 10
you our views, and those, we hope, flour con-
stituents, on the great questions, TO deliberate
upon which, we were called together. We
have pointed out to you that side upon which
we consider are arrayed the blessings of tram
guilty, and of peaceful and well established
government. and the dangers which we have
apprehended on the other If indeed, in this
age of reason, in the nineteenth century in
civilized republican, and christian America, in
the calm hour Of peace and Of unimpassioned d
feeling, such man as Andrew Jackson should
he selected for the Executive chair Of the Un-
ion, we but speak the voice of all history when
we declare that the fate Of our institutions is
determined, and the last, best trial Of liberty
has failed. We have added another name to
the melancholy catalogue Of departed Repub-
lies. The aspirations Of the wise and the good
in all preceding ages have been illusory. Re-
publican Liberty is an ideal vision, and n
Hampden and Sidney nave died in vain.--
These evils may, indeed, not happen under the
immediate administration Of General Jackson,
but will pave the way TO some future soldier
with greater opportunities. The free con-
stituiion Of Rome, though it receive its death
blow under the relationships Of Marius and
Sylla, still fingered on i'll its final destruction
by the ambition Of Caesar; and so too, our own
