Of things that exists there, very likely to form
an eironeou, opinion respecting the ensuing cleo
ton, by regarding the result. whatever II ney hap
nen 20 be, as iui uinsmng a certain criterion AZ TO
the real state OF parties ia the great contest which
is to take place in the fall for the presidency. II
furnishes none or, to speak wlth more precision,
We Will SAY, tbIt II the election shOnld terminate

tIcal Trends uI the Genacal viii .ive their votes
to Metca as well FROM personal consideration, to
wards mat gentleman, as from an irreconclleabe
hostility to Judge Barry, his opponent Whoever
has been conyersant with the local politics oi Ken
tucny ior several Years past needs no Information
as To the envenalned anlmoslty which has marked
the new court party, and the old cour' party--or
as trey sometimes called the rellef and the an
tl-relicf--tuward, each other. An attempt has
been na,ie, by the more moderate and utttcr DIS
posed men uf beIh parties, to allay the heat that
threatened the very existence ct the state tocil
ana thJnsn the,r efforts were partially successful,
ani wtil III time perhaps be completely 50, yet the
flames have sataer been got under than eXt'hSulsi-
Ell. The leader CT one of these ardent parties,
who stood in the front of the battle, and distIn.

most certainly given to Gen. Aecalf, Whlch votes,
however, will a, certainly be turned upon jaeN son

it at!ords no reason to apprchend that the tlNen-
ber election wilt terminate III la'oi OF Adams !:
whereas. il it terminates III tavnr OF Barry, not
withstanding the disadvantage under winch ne la
bors Oh account Of local and personal prtjudices,
Mr.. Clay may hang APP lis fddis for the remain
der Of his life. But why lay sach a stress on the
vote of Kentucky: The west will shortly slow
that ,erv little calculation must satisfy the most
increiulous, that the jackson party can clifford to
give their opponents every vote III that state, and
still it will leave them IL Il hopeless minority.
