KENTUCKY SAFE Our last accounts from this
state, from all the counties but eight give Mr.. Met

majority of 3 }52 Mr.. Barry, the jackson can

state in November next, comes with very i'll grace.
Had the election been very close one,-the majority

hundreds, instead Of thousands, such assertion
would not be wholly groundess; but the result

From the Ne.c- Orleans ADVERTISER
The state, generally, is for the Administration
This will be the better proved by examining into the
composition of the new Legislature. The Senate is
composed OF IL members; we know, already, sixteen

bers. We have returns from 20 parishes, which send
as members. OF this NUMBER 26 for the Adm MIS-
uaon, sure; one doubtful, and 81 for Jackson and
the Parishes of Washta and Concordia will, in all
probability administration men. Out of the 81
parishes OF which the state is composed, 49, Pla-
quemine, ST. Bernard JeffersonSt. Charles, StJohn
the Baps;, ST. James, Assumption, Laourche Inte-
rior, Terrebonne, lberve, West Baton Rouge, Point
Coupce, st. Landry, ST. Martin, and Avoyelies, will
give almost unanimous vote to the Adams electors
Seven parishes, viz: Orleans Ascension East Baton
Rouge, 81. Tammany, Washta, Natichotes, and Con-
cordIa, will give majority for the same ticket; and
in the remaining eight, which are the only decidedly
Jackson parties in the state, our ticket will obtain in
some large Vote,ln others toerabe land some
but very few. This is true and candid statement of
the situation Of parties in this and the state of
Massachusetts itself is secure for the admin
lstraton, than is the state of Louisiana"
