THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.
We have gained signal victory, against the
most extraordinary and excepll0nabe exertions
ever made BY the Federal Administration in
single State For weeks prior to tho election,
the public mail from Washington had been
burthened with the Globe and other papers
and documents, designed to influence the re-
suit. Papers friendly TO our cause were totally
excluded or came with irregularty. Mission
aries from that city, abandoning their public
duties, were planted in different parts of the
State The federal officers in the State we're
actively and constantly engaged In the office
of the United States Attorney at Frankfort
more handbills were prepared and sent forth
than Mr. Attorney will have briefs for year
TO come. An Engineer came to the mountains
of Floyd from Philadelphia, in the short space
of seven days, to make reconneissances at the
instance oil the Federal Executive, to amuse
and deceive the people with imaginary projects
of internal improvements Rumor specifies
the sums which particular Jackson candidates
have received from abroad to dlSburse in the
canvass.
Notwithstanding the whole artillery of the
General Government has been thus directed
against single State, the people have triumph
I ed in this unequal contest All the returns
| have not been received, but enough is known
I TO enable us to state that we have elected de-
ciSiye ma lority of the members of the House of
/ Representatives of this State and that we
shall have, on joint ballot, a majority of - or
! 10. This majority is unpledged, or rather, it
! is pledged to the good cause Of the People, oil
I the country, Of public liberty, and public NOR
ais 1t ncontestiby secures the election o.
, U 5. Senator. Ofthis event our distant friends
may rest perfectly assured Mr.. Marshal &C.
is elected in the place of Mr. Coleman ID
Judge Tompkns IN place of MIR. Yahcy Mr.
Allan as the successor of Judge Clarke anC
MIR. Letcher and Mr. Chiffon are both re elect
ed. On the other hand, Messrs. Adair Wick
life, johnson. Daniel, and Lecompte, are elect
ed making five National Republican member
and five Jacksonians. Two districts (Gaither'
: and Lyon's) romain to be heard from Shoult
both be rec elected there will be five National Re
pubcans in the next Congress and seven Jack
sonians. AT tho election two years ago, Their
were ten Jacksonians elected and two of tn
opposition At the recent election the Jack
son MAORI ties every where have been great
. reduced, and our majorties ard mnorilie
greatly increased
But the fact is now ascertaned beyond tn
possibility OF a doubt that large majority @
the people OF the State are against Jackson.
E Is proved, list, by the elections to the State Leg
lslature, which is more satisfactory test tina
! the election to the House of Represent atves
mer are elected from the several counties {
the STATED; Of the latter, from districts whic
may be so arranged, and are in fact so arranged
as to reflect enormously the public sentimer
:, OF the whole State. I'd. 1t is proved by tn
: maJorities given in the congressional districts
: The majority given to the National Republica
, candidate in this district (say 1900 alone wi
neutralize the total majorties given to the Jacl
son candidates in four or five districts in whc
: they have been elected The National Repul
u llcan vote in another district (Mr. Letcher.
! is nearly double the amount of all the maioritit
IN all the districts that have returned Jackso
: members, including that of Col johnson, wher
although there was no contest il is easy to a
/. certain the jackson majority from the election
to the State Legislature. When all the return
; are received by US we will demonstrate thcs
, statements.
=, Our distant friends may possibly apprehen,
that 1t there DO majority of the delegato
from this State to Congress, in favor of jackson
IN the event of the Presidential election devol
ing on the House Of Representatives, that mi
: Jorty may vote against Mr.. Clay NOT ST
= We believe, from what we have heard, that ii
y jackson members are pledged, in the continge
d cy supposed, to vote according to the wishes
i the State, announced through The Electoral Co
