" ldetcaie 'sas been elected over Barry by the
lean majority Of zoe votes, in consequence of local
causes, which prevented Major Barry from getting
many OF the Jackson votes bu, it is equally true
that Mr. Breatlitt, the Jackson caedidate for Lieut.
Governor, has beaten his Adams competitor, Yin.
derwood, near 100 votes, and the aggregate p,a-
Jority OF Barry and Breatfitt together. over I'm
derwood aud Metcalfe, is near four hundred votes
Out OF IL Senators also, that have been elected
this year, nine are decidedly for Jackson which
gives majority OF two i'm that body and in the
other branch of the legislature, there is a majori
ty OF at least IL raembers-we have, therefore, the
| Lieut.. Governor and majority in the Legislature
together With Representatives and two Sena-
tors in Congress decidedly for jackson willie our
opponents can only boast Of Governor elected by
the measre majority of 100 votes One more
such victory the part OF the Coalition and thew
are ruined. Il have said that local operat-
ed to defeat the election of Maj. Barry.-This is
wen understood here-inany OF the friends of &C.
! neral jackson belonged to what ia called the Old
court Party; that controversy, before il vas set
tied, had excited much heat and produced great
asperity Of feeling. Maj. Barry had been promi-
nent man in the New Court Party, and had held
tho Office OF Chief Justice OF the New Court Our
opponents, whose motto is, " divide and conquer"
very adroi,ly awaited themselves OF this circun-
stance, and succeeded in sowing dissention in our
ys"tS' and by eyciting the fears Of the Old Court
| Jackscurnen, that those A,easures whsrh were to
them so obnoxious, if Major Barry was elected
Governor, would he revive, prevented hundreds OF
them from giving him their votes although Mai
barry had given the most solemn public pledge,
!that, II elected, the question OF Old 81 New Court
should not he again disturbed by him. This was
| not all ; for the purpose of rendering Mai Barry
OBNOXIOUS to the people, the Ebony Party flooded
| the country with handbills containing the most
base and infamous tasehoois; and this system of
warfare against Barry, has only been equaed by
the mode OF attack which the same party is now
carrying on against Gen. Jackson. 1t was SAIL *

IRe Barr Conspiracy charge upon Gen
jackson has not answered The purpose FOR which il
was dcsgDed-lt s discredited even by many OF
; the friends of the Administration. That Burr de-
ceived many OF the most intelligent citizens Of .he
, Western country, is not TO be doubted. He de-
ceived II. Clay by his plausible letter Of the 81
December, iS0G-by which he induced him to
believe, tina. iiis schemes were not calculated 10
disturb the tranquility OF the Union--aud was
approved OF by the Administration. /, cannot be
concealed, that Mr.. Clay defended him with great
8rdor, twice, before the Federal Court at Frank
ioit-that he expressed his perfect confluence i'll
the innocence of Burr--that the Grand jury dis
charged h:fn with singular eclof--and that an i'm
