KENTUCKY ELECTIONS

commentator L..
Elections for Members OF the General Assembly
and for Members of Congress, were held in this State
during the first three days OF last week. Though
our exact returns are not numerous expec-
ted they would be by this time-many gentlemen OH
whom thought might dep end for niorn,a,o
designed for the public, notwithstanding the reign of
terror in the Post Office Departments having disap-
pointed us-yct we have enough to show that the
Jackson party IN this State is completely defeated
routed 'horsc, foot and dragoons"-oveithrown nev-
er to rise again, unless it be, before under Il new
organization, with new party name. ''JactSon and
Reform" has become, now, almost us nngraeful
to the the sound of the words Relief and .Ne,o
Court, and the time Is at hand when shall only
hear of''Jdchson and Refor' we hear the ls wi
ing of the hungry wolves-,iar of II the hills and
swamps.
In the Congressional election, it is true we have
hot much to boast of. The truth is the Jackson par
ty had secured OVERLOOKING majority in Congress,
which this state even II unanimous, could not change.
The people exhibited much apathy upon this part of
the election. In districts no opposition was
made IN others personal and sectional predictions
prevailed over purity principles, and union OF
party could be effected In the Mercer district,
however. the friends of the late administration, and
of Mr.. Clay, have enjoyed signal and remarkable
triumph; not by electng any man OF their par
but by seeing the Jackson party, the instructed of
Tom Moore, Bury. and Pan Buren, sink under, the
,ceigkt Of its corruption, and witnessing the cleo
ton, by triumphant majority, of Jackson
committed to the party for the next election, by the
votes of the friends of MIR. Clay with the indie
pendent of his party
In the Senate of the State, there is great and
unexpected acquisition of strength by the Republican
Party. That body is composed Of thirty eight mem
bers elected, portion each year, for four years.
Ten have been chosen at this election. Three
only OF those who went out-Messrs. Garrard
| Hickman and Wicklifie opposed to Jackson
Theirs ccessors are no less SO. The other seven
Messrs. Carneal, Cockerill, Daviess Given Poue
Slaughter and Woodward Jackson men. The pla-
of three OF them, know, and of two more we
hope, are filed by gentlemen of the other party And
the Jackson party has not only lost thus in numbers
but they have lost those ,cosc talents they relied
much.
| The House of Representatives, last year. stood
Sc for Jackson, d. for Adams. We have heard of
many changes: and may venture to say the tables
are turned, and more than turned. The party, this
year, will not be able to number in the house more
than 35 to 40 members
The election of Mr. John J. Crittenden, late Uni
ted States Attorney for the district XIV. gentle
man prescribed and punished by Gen. Jackson and
his northumberland too by handsome ma
jority, in a county which, late as last November
voted almost too for for Jackson, is itselfa tri-
umph Of virtuous people over protiigatc admins
| tration.
We proceed to present such details as have come
| to
