KENTUCKY ELECTIONS.

worse and worse" We received by the last mail

culations

resolutions against the veto, and which had CLAY
representative in the last Legislature. decided and
thoroughgoing friend of General Jackson has pre-
vailed against the most worthy and popular man they
could start!
In Wooaford where resolutions Of even more
bitter character were passed against the yeto-and
which was represented by Clay man last year de-
founding, Col William B. Blackburn the brother
in-law of Mr. Clay and the gentleman who headed
this veto meeting has defeated in his election to
the Senate Of the State!
In Madison the commencement of the Mavsvi1e
Turnpike, and The very theatre of the efigy burning
the jackson candidate was running ahead at our la
test advicei
In Fayette-Old Fayette, the residence Of Mr.
Clay, what has been the result? jackson veto

out only two days before the election, obtained lar
ger vote than did General Jackson himself at the
Presidential eectionl a more animated determined
and tremendous struggle witnessed In this
county. For two days and hols the contest was
extremely doubtful, when finally the polls closed and
were proclaimed as follows
CLAY.-T'rue 1905, Cnrd 1893, Wilson 1881.
JAcKsoN-Bullock 1855, Payne 900, Flournoy

But let us look further--what has been the result
IN other sections Of the State? Tn Madison Ghe re-
sidence Of Mr.. Letcher,) where two years SINCE
there was a majority of $50 against u.s. we have
elected Senator "a years and as Representation
the latter by majority of so votes In Mercer
where we mad only two Representatives last year.
we now have three,--in Jefferson where we had
but one we now have three In Shelby, where we
had none, we now nave one; and in Gorrard where
two years age there was majority of 1047 against
ua, there has been very close race. In Franklin
where Mr. Crittendon succeeded last year 80 or 90
votes, he is proclaimed as elected by but four
cen; aided as understand by the most unblushing
corruption and bribery Il,
In Grant there is no doubt of the success Of Mr.
Vallandlngham The democratic candidate.
But let us recaptulate. In Jefferson. Shelby

By these statements, the reader Gun correct some
into which we fell yesterday. misled by the
Baltimore and other papers. When we receive the
canvass of the whole State, shall publish it. The
Gazette accounts must be received with many grains
of alowance-no paper standing lower for scurrility
and partizanship.
But when these allowances all made, the bal
sheet will show very differently from what
expected 1t is both weak and criminal to conceal
truth, and we therefore acknowledge. that far as
phed.
Did we believe that the struggle was in truth
political one generay lit certainly so in Fayette
Franklin and some other counties that the issue of
the elections shows the of public feeling
towards Henry Cay-we should feel dependency
which we do not feel On the contrary, we have the
strongest assurances that there organized CLAY
party in Kentucky-that Snumerous JAG kson men so
called, are Clay too-that this in due time will
be shown in the most triumphant manner--and that
ad interim, State and local politics. personal popular
ty unpopularity, have been the efficient agents in
deciding the present elections.
IF it be otscrtoise-if it be true that his adopted
State-the State which he has served, and ilustra-
ted with share of his own renown-that she has
cast off and repudiated Henry Clay-otLer States
will elect him President without the aid of Kentucky
that's all. Let his slanderers and reviers rejoice
but let the motto of his riends-the friends of the
Unon--be nil desperand,r,.
