f'uod by SIX or seven hundred votes THIS shows a
jackson falling off of many hundreds since Novem-
Der Violent excrtions Mere made and the mos, ma
thcc appeals to the Jacksonias not to desert the
Hero before the first Congress had assembled under
his Administration
In the Frankfort District Lecomute is supnosed
to have beaten Wilson (Ant Jackson) by very small
majority, nor is it certain that he has done so ut ALL
In Lecomptc's (he Frankfortl District, the Jackson
t.cietin Nov. prevailed by large majority
In Moorcs late District, k.ncad is said to have s,c
ccedcd over Booker by handsome majority. Kin
caid was supported by the friends of Mr. CLAW, and
denounced by theIltra Jacksonians. His election is
real defeat to latter. This ,cas The most Jck-
so"'an District in Ky. aad gaze Tie largest pajor IN
Nor ktst.
Col. Richard u Johnson in the Scott District has
prevailed against Gen. MdIatton, the late nember-
both Jacksonans.
In the Woodord District, Judge Clarke is elect
cd by great majority Mr.. Flournoy, Jackson.
In MIR. Chambers late District Adam Bcntgv
tClay) has succeeded by decided minority, it is
supposed.
From other Districts nothing ccrtain has been
heard. The election in Kentucky proves that the
scales have again turned lie knows but little OF the
State who thinks that the people there, are not Tor
Clay against the world.
Dr. WaE'ins.-This case is at last brought to n
close and DR.. Watkins sentenced to an Imprisonment
OF months, and fines amounting to S2O5o. To
morrow we shall lay before the reader defence of
tile Court and Juries, against the sanderous attacks
OF Amos Kendall the correspondent of the Baltimore
Republican. This Infamous tool, high officer OF
the government, and the legal accuser of Watkins,
ANA his successor, employed himself in writing daily
letters TO the above paper accusing the Judges Ju-
RES and Counsel of Watkins OF corruption and ap-
paudmg himself and demanding public sympathy in
his behalf Suspecti'Ig that the Court designed TO in
stitute an inquiry las they did, into the authorship of
The letters in the Baltimore Republican, Amos took
the Alarm and slipped otto Kentucky. The no,n-
nal editor of the Republican being summoned by the
court, declined giving up the author and the court
magnanimousy dismissed the affair as beneath their
dignity.
"OG toiM ms head--so much for Buckinghapa''
The Washington papers of Saturday, bring a new
list OF the prescribed sacrificed TO the resentment Of
our magnanimous President. Among these we truly
regret to see the name of Beverly Allen native of
this city, and of Mr. JcdediaIl Allen. This gen
tlnman attained the rank from which he has been dis
missed by the force of merit, without family patron
age 1t will be observed too, that Major Stubblefeld
at Harpers Ferry, OF service & worth has fall
en- victim to his independence ofopinion. We had
believed that the sacred soil Of Virginia. the mother
Of American Liberty. would not be proiancd by tho
| tyranny Of prescription.

More assertion and Deni1L--Thc Frankfort Com
mentator states, that Maj. Barry, the Postmaster
General, is himself dcfaulter 10 tie Post Office De
partD'ent in the of $40, OOO!-and that the fact
is established by the records of the Federal Court
at Frankfort! To this charge, the Telegraph says
it is authorised (by BTr. Barry ':to give the most un
qualified denial" The Commentator has appeal
cd to a witness which cannot lic and which
must put the matter out of dispute, one 1cn,
or the other. We confess, that we have los
confidence in Mr.. Barry since his denial o
Scholfelds statement--a statement which we are
assured from high authority, is credited in Washing
ton, by almost every person in the places and Which
it is believed was denied by Tree and Kennedy, a
the erPeHce Of their integrity. We haze heard, thai
the Postmaster Of the City, DR.. Jones, knows VIVA
Schoeld said to be true, and that in court Of jus
-tice he would not deny it. 1t is difficult to reat
Scholfeld's last letter, and not believe him. w,
shall publish it tomorrow.
The Commentator will certainly reply to Maio
Barry's denial, and either make its charge good, OF
! the aD,eude honorable. The Commentator must CT
Their be under strange mistake, or it must have
good grounds for the charge. Published at Frank
FORT where the records referred to are can scarce,
have hazarded grave charge against h1gl
officer, without due examination 1t says in addi-
ton, thcre matters connected with this delin
nnencv which nnlesi We arc nisinfnrmcd. urnrrll
