In the first district, Joel B. Sutherland s reelected In Kensngton, in this dis. ric disgracefal rio, took pluce the day of the election" clubs and stones were used uneparingly and many heads broken" One man was killed.
 In some papers Col. Wa,moughi is claimed as sup. porter of Mr. Clay. Whether he is so or noi we have no means of determining other than that he was oppo- sed by an ardent advocate of the administration.
