 Western ElectiOna-The elections for Representa-. lives to the next Congress will take place iLe early l part of next moOth in several of the western and southwestern staIce-Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Alabama. In the former, in nearly all the districts there are two sets of candi- dates, Clay and Jackson. So far as the accounts ceived from there 10 be relied upOn the prospects l of the friends of MT. Clay are very fnerng. Col. R. M Johnson is the only Jackson candidate who Is not strongly opposed, and with fair prospects of sue cess. the friends of Mr. Clay should be able carry the election in luis own state, his prospects for in the great struggle for the Presidency be very much diminished; and in that case, for one doned for more popular candidate. It will be some 1 weeks before lhe returns are received. .'@ In tue other states, except Alabana, we have means of judging what the prospects of the differ ent parties |" Alabama, the ground of contest is no, for against the adminisraOn-the state is too near ly unanimous for Jackson to make struggle interest ing on the past of the friends oG Mir. Clay. -..
 Richmond, Va.-This place is in the centre ot what is called the Virginia Regency. and in which is pub lished the mouih-piece and organ of that Regency, (he Richmond Enquirer.) Here too is however pul,- ished the Richmond Whig, conducted by one of the
 talented and fearless editors in t.e county who has endeavored and is still eneavorng to show to the people of Virginia the corrupting example and mad misrue of tue present admin nsraion of the general government. On the 4,h of July, appears that all parties agreed io unite in the celebration of the day ln the language of Washington paper, though ths dinner the occasion not got up by any politi- cal party, it is remarkab that the sentiments in tone of animated friendship Mr. Clay, as the des tined restorer of the Republic, and of contempt for the administration, her fierce, but feeble yranls." The editor of the Enquifer, n publishing accouu. of ie proceedings of the day, and of the dinner par y, gives vent 10 ls mortified feelings in the following manner. He is really to be pted that he canaot pre vent the city of Richmond, the heart and capital of Old Virginia, from throwing her weight and inAu- l emcc into ;hc scale of HENRY CLAY.
 "Thc friends of Jackson in this city do not deny that l they in the minoriiy-it was the the last election, and is unqueslionaby a the present time. But they indignant at the condition which the tonsts at Clark Spring would place them before the public. Those wlio not at the dinner, ask how n to pass that not only were iOasts given in honor of Mr. Clay, but several Oasis highly derogaOry 10 A. Jackson and yet he had not friend present k0 poor as d" him reverence" They demand, how comes alIahis aboul-~ere there no Ifiends of lack present in . company of or 5OO iMdiS iduals Have they all abandoned him iM ih's city Or were they all struck mute in the presence of Mr. Ciays J friends 2''
 "Ir such be the state of things. the question again comes back upon us, was there DO frend of Jackson present Was there there to give '' Rowland for Oliver " This question is at once answered in the affirmative. There scere Jackson men, and many of them present; as frm and decided inen in their course as any in Virginia. We have heard of many wi,o present and we see heIr names scattered of one of the volunteer corps friends of the Ad minislration. The captain ot another of the volun- teer companies is of this description. B", why mni- tiply proofs upon ihe subject7 Many were present. and the thing which has excited surprise, upon sce ing the toasts published is why some of those gem uemen did not out"
 '.The friends of Mr. Clay may tons, him as high or as deep they please. The zeal of his friends on this l occasion speaks for hselE We needed no such cyi- | dence, indeed, about three of the gentlemen who toasted MT. Clay. We know them well. We k"ow vic,ion. Three others we know not-bu their .oasts speak enough for their =ed, f not for their fdsie- l With such evidence before them, we ask the Jacks"n men n this city. why wi they sleep ""l the Phllis- tines be upon them !" Rouse Nothing but nn ovcr- weening confidence in the strength of Jackson can
 njure your cause-and he assured, that if the same cause were to spread throughout, the nation, H. Clay might mount the summit of his ambition Look al the events of the last 4h Of July tn this ctysee the determined zeal of Mr. Clay's riends-ard you arc not the men take yon to be- if this movement doei nut react on them, and rouse yOu.' p The President has returned to Washington from his visit to the Rip Raps.
 T We see it announced in some of the papers, or the authority of gentlemen from Philadelphia, "iha | more than third of the Jackson party in iha city who had changed entirely had become fence mem"
 The Village Record, published in Westchester, Pa. is of the very hest conducted papers in the try. Its editor, Charles Miner, has represented the District in Congress several years but under the ad mnisration of Jackson was Jeff out because he would not sacrifice his honesty and consistency. and bow to the powers that be. In late number, speaking of ontemporary, he says" Our excellent friend: the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, deserves of Presi- dent Jackson a Gold Medal set in diamonds True in suppon--warm ip praise he was formerly deci- ded in censure and zealous in reprobalion-he cries cheer lads cheer! the supporters of the General and though there is four feet water in the hold pumps cIsoked--broad leak-maiDmast gone and rud- der breks-here IS danger! seems to be the spirit of his press-yo~ carry CGs0r, breathes in his col umns.
