Kentucky Elections. The accounts during
the past week relative to the election, have
been rather contradictory but it would seem
now, by statement in the Frankfort Argus
of the 18th ult. that the coalitionmen are
defeated in Clays own State. According to
this view Of the result-7421 senators for, and
19 against Jackson's administratiou-and 81
representatives for, and 45 against tive
should think the hopes of the Table Orator
are nearly defunct. Indeed, it is stated that
he has returned home to his farm, lost his
relish for public parade and dinners, and it
Is thought labors under a severe malady-
political spepsia.-which threatens to in
crease as the fall elections progress.

Friend Snorden-rhrough the medium of
your paper, | would wish to express TO the pub
tic the satisfaction | experienced in a recent trip
in the Steamboat Franklin, commanded by our
respectable. worthy, and obligins feliow-towns-
man, Captain hewitt. The Franklin Is a COM
modious, pleasant boat, her accommodations am
pie and convenient: and | am sure that every
one taking passage in her will be gratitied at the
pohteness and attention of her Captain, and that
Of Captain Jenkins, OF the Fredericksburg.
Ifthe Franklin and Fredericksburg could crap
pie at their meeting in the river for the exchange
of passengers, instead of sending a boat from one
TO the other, as now practiscd. | think 1t would
be an Improvement. AS it is, however, we had
nothing to complain of. but every thing to please
US. The speed of the boat, her ease of motion.
the accommodations on board. and the beautiful
scenery of the river. all united to render my
time on board the Franklin and Fredericksburg
in the highest degree pleasing. This Is an unso-
licited and spontaneous acknowledgement. and.
Is such, | trust it will be well received by the
public. A PASSENGER.

One of the incidents related by Knaup, in his

says the Boston Gaz.is worthy of notice, as an indi-
cation of the remarkable cold bloodedness with
which the assassin pursued his .'dreadful trade"
at an interview which Knapp had with him in
the centre of the Mail, he Informed X. that he
had seen it stated in the newspapers that Is
stabs were found in The body, but that he did not
give more than four or live. Knapp replied. that
perhaps he was a little agitated, and could
not remember exactly. The assassin said mo,
for after he had done for the old man, he
put his fingers upon his pulse, to make certain
he was dead"
