Clay IL we add those pledged to the Jackson side the
ties south OF Green River, may EXPECT at -a.t two
Jackson Representatives-anh, from Pike and Floyd
Morgan and Lawrence, Perry, Knox, Harlan and
whitley, two or three more.
Doubts have already been expressed by the oppo.
nents OF the present administration in this place whe
Their the members from Ohio, Henderson Bulli,t ami
Washington, would ultimately adhere TO the pledges
given by them. On this point, however we apprebend
there can be no dangeras there are few men base g.
nough to Violate such pledges when soIemnly given
In fact the majority in tho III. of II. TO depend
very much upon the of the members from four
counties who, Clay themselves, represent Jackson
counties, and are pledged to with the friends of the
ADMINISTRATIVE are, disposed, therefore, to think
with the u s. Telegraph that s'the Senate will be e.
qualy divided, in which case the It. Governor will
give the casting vote for the Adminstraton-And that
$50 nearly poised are the parties in the H. OF r. that
in all probability, lis preponderance for against the
Administration, will not be known before the meeting
| OF the Legislature in December. At all events Mr.
Clay has lost ground and believes that he
can be nominated as candidate by the Kentucky Lee
gislature.'
There can be doubt that Mr. CLAY has lost ground
in the Legislature. His friends had majority at the
last Session Of 20.-It will now be down to very
small one; II he gets it at ALL They TO count in
deed upon the effects of fnesse and MANAGEMENT TO
obtain it, The last Kentucky Argus tells this anecdote:
We were sccos,ed yesterday in the streets by
friend OF Mr.. CLAW, who said well, Mr. Blair ma.

Legislature, but ace shdmake concerts of them ,,b,n
they come 10 Frankfort. You win find yourselves in
the minority"
The Election seems to have disappointed both parties
Some oil the jackson men expected to lose ground A.
lohS tne line Oh ne maysVile tOad whereas the
has been exactly different In the lower part of the
State, where politics less stirred the Jackson men
have suffered Clay TO represent them in local
matters, but under pledges to represent them TO the
u b Senator, &c Thus it appears, that where there
was political excitement, the Jackson party has gained
groundwhere politics was less stirred they have less
exered their powerWe, therefore, come to this CON-
clusion that MIR Clay has decidedly lost ground i'm Ken
tucky-in spite of the Maysville Message and the
meeting resolutions and organization which il called
forth the part of his friends And if this election
has not gone decidedly in favor of Clay how can he ex
pec one TO go better hereafter? The action was fought
for him under every supposed advantage his side
on the very heels of the Maysvie Messare-And
where ii was fought most holy that ground he has
