KENTUCKY SENATORIAL ELECTION

The whole number of votes in tie Legislature, in
Guiding that OF Mr. Criticnden himself, is 1873. This
number actually given in on the first ballot. On
inspecting the return above, il is therefore apparent,
that Mr. Crittcnden either voted for Jacksonan the
first ballot, voted for himself throughout.
The state OF the ballot also vindcaes triumphantly,
the made by the Jackson presses, in relation
the result of the August election Ii was contended
that the Clay majority of last Year, (iwenty and up
been chosen, bound by the acknowledged wishes of
their constituents to support the Administration in the
choice of Senator. These assertions denied,
rdicued aud denounced by the Clay press; large
orities claimed favorable to Mr.. Clay, and the
State of Kentucky, set down as revocaby lost 10 Gen.
Jackson We proud, in being able to point TO the
actual recorded above, unerring proof of the
Justice claims, aud the weakness OF opponents
The election of a Legislature friendly TO Gen
Jackson by ten fifteen than the Immediate

erf excitement against his veto, desperately urged by
the Clay party was called by them ga victoryl' We
called it 90 Signal defedt, aud such it undoubtedly
The Frankfort Argus, that is impossible tell
what will be the result. Judging from the ballots al
ready held infer for ourselves that there will be
election. The '.pledged men," seem disposed 10 com
ply with their pledges literally, to vote for Jackson
men, who are not the candidates of the party. Whe-
Their they will continue 10 do So throughout and whe
Their this is just compliance with the spirit of the pedg
es which they admit will be recognized by the peo-
pie, remains yet 10 be seen
Since writing the above, have received the Ken
lucky Gazette, which says From Frankfort learn,
that the Legislature Tuesday last, into the
lection OF u states senator 10 succeed Mr. Rowan.
whose term of service will expire the 18th OF March
next.
