in Kentucky comparatively small, as it will urge
our friends on to continued exertion--they now
know the strength of the enemy, and will manage
their forces SO as tofput success beyond doubt.
From, the Kentucky Reporter.
IF the actual majority for General Metcalfe IS less
than was anticipated by the Administration party,
Mallory Barry has also fallen Tar short OF the expec
tations of the Jackson party. The result in every
point of view is encouraging to the friends OF Civ''
Government. They must feel increased confidence
in the success of their at the final election,
which will take place on the first Monday in No
vember. We have already triumphed under many
disadvantages, over the most popular leader OF the
Jackson parry and me very champion OF the New
Court party. The Hero himself If not actually IN
the field, electioneering IN his behalf. aoas on the
line, IN full ve,o, encouraging his partizans and an
inaatng has FOLLOWERS. The border counties a0ere
abundantly Stumbled Dsth itaaatory addresses ana
handbiNs, printed at the Republican office IN NASH
ville and we have been assured by gentlemen OF
the first responsibility, that arrangements we're made
near the line of the two States to send voters IRON
Tennessee to our polls. What other means were
used in that quarter to sustain the jackson cause
we know not !; but nearer home system OF fraud
was detected which has no parallel in eur history
1t is true, the plan of double counting was frustrat-
ed here, but may it not have been carried into exc
cution elsewhere !?
| Under all the circumstances of the election, we
repeat, that we consider the victory gained by the
Administration party most triumphantly ausplc'ous.
The jackson men persuade themselves that there
is still some chance for the Hero in Kentucky at
the electoral election. One of the most intelligent
of the party however, acknowledged since the cleo
ton of Mecalfe that it was all over with them, and
that majority of TEN THOUSAND might be
expected for the Administration in the fall.
To those who still maintain that the election OF
Gen. Metcafe, in Kentucky, does not test the po-
itical sentiments of that State in relation to the
Presidency, we offer the following article from the
Lancaster (Pa.) Register =
John Pope. Esq. leading Jackson-man in Ken
lucky, wrote letter some time since, which was
published in the Louisville Advertiser, a thorough 60
ng Jackson paper, from which the following are ex-
tracts:
"rhe Administration convention, in December
selected Gen. Metcalfe as their candidate Tor Gov
ernor, and he must be considered Identified win
tat party in this contest. lie was one OF our f<e-
representatives. in Congress who voted against Gen.
Jackson, contrary to the will OF the state, as express
ed through the General Assembly"
at must be clearly understood that the Admin
istraton party, in presenting Gen. Metcale as their
candidate. put the question directly to the peoE'e OF
Kentucky DO you or do you not approve me con-
duct of gour REPRESENTATIONS an 6otug at the tast
Presidential election against Gen. Jackson IN oppose
ton to the solemn, urgent and almost unanimous
i declaration of The General Assemby"
If the people, i'll the present aspect OF the con-
troversy elect Gen. Metcalfe. it will be claimed
and very properly, not only as an acquitta by Ken
lucky Of the charges against Adams. Clay, &C. ou
as triumph of Mr.. Clay and his friends, upon the
very principle in the contest. 1t must be so viewed
here and by the people Of the other states. The
eyes of the nation are upon US. looking with anxious
socitude 10 the result of the present contest ni
Governor OF Kentucky. The election OF Gen. Met
calfe will be deemed an appreciation by Kentucky
the vote of her representatives in Congress at TIT
:, last Presidential election"
+, The above is the language OF most inteiIgen
u man, one of the most distinguished IN Kentucky !; l
e is the language Of reason and truth. we all know
or ought to know, that the election OF General Met
Il calfe is not only virtual acquittal by Kentucky
IS the charges against Adams and Clay, but also TIL
IS umph of Mr.. Clay and his friends, upon the YER
6 principle in the contest 1t is also demonstrate
s. Of the sentiments of the people of Kentucky upo
the Presidential question. Who can hereafter clam
l. Kentucky for Gen. Jackson No intelligent ma
can do SO, sincerely. 1t may suit the ca'aoT, tn
polcy, the reracity, and the necessity too, OF som
politicians. but no intelligent man who loves truth
candor, and who despises trckery and stratasem
l. and all the arts of bold and designing politicians,
v will do so.
