Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1828-08-20


The returns of the Election in kentucky, as
far as received. are incomplete, and probably
in some instances incorrect. About half the
State has been heard from. The Kentucky Re-
porter contains the returns from 30 co,ites.
which give Gen. MrTcALFE a majority OF
ll74 votes over Mr.. BARRY.
u p. S. We received by the steam boat of
yesterday, the following additional particulars.
We have no doubt that Metcalfe is elected.
The Kentucky Gazette, violent Jackson pa
per, Gays the election is doubtful.
The National 'Inteigencer Of Saturday says:
partial returns Of the Election in Kentucky
have been received in this city from upwards
of thirty out of the eighty odd counties in the
State. BY the.e returns the Administration
trket was ahead by six or eight hundred votes.
The returns are so vague in some instances,
and incomplete in others, that we do not ven
ture TO rccapltulaie them So soon as we have
any that can be relied upon, to show with any
certainty the current Of the election, they shall
be placed before our readers"
The Na,ona' Journal. from the returns BY
the western mails on Friday night, from thirty
-four counties. makes Metcalfe's ma jority 26O9.
Some Of the returns, however, were incom-
pletc. The Baltimore Patriot Of Saturday al
lernoon, after giving the estimate then made,
adds:
"since preparing the above we learn that
an intelligent Jacksonman, under date o
Cincinnati, 10Th inst. one day The lates, writes
TO his brother in Baltimore, that General
Metcalfe had succeeded by n small mulorliy."'
The actual result could scarcely have been
received in Cincinnati only four days after The
election. BY tomorrow we shall probably
have certain intelligence Of the event Of this
conflict.
We have seen letter from highly respec-
table aentemlD, dated Montgomery county,
Mount Sterling, August 7ih (ihe day after the
election) from which the following is an ca
tract
"Our election closed yesterday; and The
probability is, that the Administration ticket
! foi Governor,S'c. has succceded-at all events
this is the fact. so far as we have heard, by a
! considerable majority"
JOHN CHAMBERS, Esq. the Administration
candidate, has been elected to Congress, in
place of Mr.. Metcalfe, bya large majority.
The congressional district represented by
Mr.. Letcher, has not been heard from. TWAS
expected that Mr.. Metcalfe would receive
majority Of 1000 votes.
INDIANA ELEcrIoN.-The Brockvle [In.
diana] Repository of tho 9th inst. contains the
following intelligence in relation TO the elect
ion in that state.
"Dnring the whole canvass for Offices in this
county and so far as we have learned throughout
this congressional district, and the state gene
rally, which closed on Monday last, by an ex-
preston AT the polls. of The will of the people
great excr,ons have been made, and espcciall,
by the leaders Of the Jackson party, to draw
the line oe dcmarka alton on the Presidential
question:; but TO what extent, and with what
success, we shall omit To notice till our next
when we shall spread them before the public
In tho meantime we will just observe, that n!
It respects the members of The State Legisa
ture in this county, and county officers, tn,

from the best information of which we are nov
in possession, the administration candidat
for Congress is elected by a considerable ma
iority, over his Jackson competitor; we mus
wait however until we receive official return
from the several counties in the district, be for
we can speak with certainty on The subject. -
Mr.. Moore. one Of the three candidates fo
Governor, received m,jorfy of votes in thu
| county. we HoNeNcf, HOin
port. that in several counties north of thi,
james B Ray, present Governor, re ceved larg
ma ioriiics over his competitors. We fav
heard but from two or three counties howevc
letter from Cincinnati, dated 9th Angus
says-Indiana, it is said, has gone for the Ad
mmis,ration by a handsome MAJORITY.
On the other hand, the Pbiladel phia Gazct,
of Saturday says:
"By gentleman who arrived this mornin
direct we learn that DR.. Candy, 1.-THE ia ckso
candidate,l was far ahead Of both the ohe
cand dates, in every county that had bee
heard from, and every county heard from ha
led Jackson members Of the Legislature
Here is a precious discrepancy.
