From tho Lexington Reporter, Aug. 8.
THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.

We have gained a signal victory,
against the most extraordinary and CN-
ceptonablc cXertions ever made by the
Federal Administration in a single State.
For weeks prior to the election, the pub
lie mail from Washington had been bur
thened with the Globe and other papers
and documents, designed to influence the
result Papers friendly to our cause
were totally excluded, or came with ir-
regularity. Missionaries from that city ,
abandoning their public duties, were
planted in different parts of the State -
The federal officers in the State were
actively and constantly engaged In
the office ofthe United States Attorney
at Frankfort more handbills were pre-
pared and sent forth than Mr.. Attorney
will have briefs for Il year to come. An
engineer came to the mountains of Floyd
from Philadelphia, in the short space of
seven days, to make reconnoissances at
the instance of the Federal Executive,
to amuse and deceive the people with
imaginary projects of internal improve
ments! Rumor specifics the sums which
puitiNult odthSDll tuIulidltS nave lt-
ceived from abroad to disburse the can
vass.
Notwithstanding the whole artillery of
the General Government has been thus
directed against single State, the Pco-
pie have triunphed in this unequal CON
test. All the returns have not been re-
ceived, but enough is known to enable
us to state that We have elected de-
cisive majority of the members of the
House of Representative of this State;
and that we shall have, in joint ballot,
majority of - to 10. This majority is
unplcdged, or rather is pledged to the
good cause ofthc People, oithc country,
Of public Liberty, and public morals. 1t
incontestibly secures the election of L.
s. Senator. OF this event our distant
friends may rest assured. Mr.. Marshall
(C) is elected in the place of Mr. Cole
man (D; Judge Tompkins in place of
Mr. Yancey; Mr.. Allan as the success

ent did not belong to the National Re-
publican Convention holden IN June last,
and as it was believed that tickets were
prcparcd to be circulated in the different
towns with the names Of different candl-
dates TO embarrass the choice ofthe free =.
men, it was thought advisable not TO
separate without some distinct express
sion of opinion respecting the nominations
made by the Convention. In the alter
noon Il very numerous meeting was ac-
cordingly organized in MIR. d. Updikc' >
Hall, by the choice Of Judge Thomas
Whipplc, OF Coventry, for Chaiiman, 4
General Levi Halle, Of Warren, for
Secretary. The meeting was briefly ad-
dressed by Colonel Dixon, of Westerly,
Judge Tomtellot, of Gloccster, and MIR.
lTillinghast, of Providence. A full and
free interchange ofopinon took place. x
the following Resolutions reported by
Colonel Dixon, were unanimously pas
scd:
AT meeting of citizens from the sew
eral counties in the State, holden at f..
Greenwich, on the 18th day OF August,
1881, Thomas Whipple, Esq. was ap-
pointed Chairman, and Levi Halle, Esq
Secretary.
Resoired, That this meeting highly
approve Of the consistent, energetic and
patriotic conduct OF the Representatives
of this State, Mcssrs. Burgess, s Pcarce
in the Congress Of the United States; s
that the ability and fidelity with which
these gentlemen have represented the
true interests of this State and Of the I'm
ion, entltlc them to our continued conf
Cence and support.
Resoircd, That we approve ofthe nom
ination Of Messrs. Burgess and Pearco
by the National Republican Convention,
holden at Newport in June last, as suita.
bic persons to represent this State in the
god Congress Of the United States, ant
that we will use all fair and honorable
means to promote their reelection.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

Illinois. The Vandala Messenger of

can, the late Jackson member, has been
reelected. This State sends but one

hdjona.--The Nincenncs Gazette
contains returns from l5 counties in the
districts lately represented by Mr.. Boon,
a Jacksonian, which give John Law,
Esq. the Clay candidate, 833 majority.

Tirgnia. In the district lately repre-
sented by VIM. Armstrong, a decided
friend Of Mr.. Clay, there has been a
warm opposition to his reelection on that
ground. Three counties give him a
majority Of 100 over his Jackson oppo-
nent, which leaves no doubt of his event
ual success.
The election of Mr. Newton from the
Norfolk dirtrict is now beyond qucs-
tion. His present majority over Loyal,
is 900.
The contest betwcan Mr. Taliafero

A SMALL sign, BUT A SPLEN
DI ID Y | G L O Il Y!

Our elections are over; and after
contest, for ferceness and bitterness un-
paralIc!cd in the annals of even this dis
trict. Thomas ID. Arnold has obtained
a signal victory over Pryor Lea, backed
as he was, by the power of press the
most foul and reckless in the land still
further backed by the power Of General
Jackson and Hugh l.. White. The bat
tie between the Russians and the Poles
certainly did not surpass this struggle in
ardor and desperation. The Poles fight
for liberty: while the friends of Arnold
have been contendlng almost for fredoom
of conscience and of speech, against n
laction--(its central head at knoxvillc)
the most intoierant, unrelenting and
despotic, that ever disgraced any era of
a free people. Arnold is more obnox-
ious to the Jackson proscriptionists of this
country, than any other man, excepting
Col. John Williams.
We failed here, by small majoritics, in
the elections of our candidates for the
State Legislature. Col. Joseph a. Ma
hry was the candidate for the House of
Representatives, and Joseph l.. Williams,
the son of Judge Whites youngest sis
ter, was the candidate for the Senate
IN this election, even as in Mr.. Arnold's,
the Judge, although lately offered the
elevated station of Secretary of War,
attended personally and vgilantIy on the
election ground, distributing tickets and
even cross-cyamining voters, and baw-
ling at the ballot box. To see the Judge
thus engaged with ardor and bitterness
against Joseph l.. Williams, wrs remark
ed as curious and unnatural spectacle.
/ This unaccountable hostility of the UNI
Gle to the nephew, is to be very deeply
lamentcd, as it has excluded for the pres
ent, from public employment, young
man of unlmpeachable character and of
splendid and unrivaIcd talents, whose
genius, though thus oppressed, must rise
triumphantly over the malignant oppos-
ton of party, and assert that station in
society to which it so eminently entities
its possessor.
The late disgracelul Developments at
Washington have made very serious
impression upon the virtuous portion of
our community.

sor Of Judge Clarke; and mr.. Letcher
and Chiffon are both reelected. On
the other hand, Messrs. Adair, Wick
life, johnson, Daniel and Lecompte are
elected; making five National Republi-
can members and FIVE Jacksonians. -
Two districts Gathers and Lyons re-
main to be heard from. Should both be
reelected, there will be five National
Rcpublicans in the next Congress and
seven JackSonians At the election iwo
years ago, there were ten JackSonlans
and two ofthc opposition. Atthe recent
election the jackson majortics every
where are greatly reduced, and our ma
joritics and mnorilics greatly increased
But the fact is now ascertained be-
yond the possibility of doubt, that
large majority Of the people of the State
are against jackson. 1t is proved, lst,
by the elections to the State Legislature,
which is a more satisfactory test than the
election TO the House of Representatives
ofthe United States. The members TO
the former are elected from the several
counties of the state of the latter, from
districts which may be SO arranged, and
are in fact so arranged, as to reflect cr-
roncously the public sentiment of tac
whole state. Cd 1t is proved by the ma =
iorities given in the congressional dis
trcts The majority given to the Ma
tional Republican candidate in this dis
trict, (say 1900 alone will ncutrallzc the
total malorities given to the Jackson
candidates in four or five districts in
which they have been elected. The Ma
tional Republican vote in another dis
trict Mr.. Lctcher's) is nearly double
the amount Of all the majorities in all the
districts which have returned Jackson
members, including that Of Col. Johnson,
where although there was no contest, it
is easy to ascertain the Jackson ma ority
from the elections to the State Lcgi'la-
ture. When all the returns are receiv-
ed by us we will demonstrate these state
mcnts.
Our distant friends may possibly APP
prchcnd, that if there be majority of
the delegation from this state to Con-
gress in favor of Jackson, in the event Of
the residential election dcvolving on
the House Of representatives., that ma
Ijority may vote against Mr. Clay
NOT SO. We believe, from what we
have heard, that the Jackson members
are pledged, in the contingency suppos-
ed, to vote according to the wishes of
the state, announced through the Eec-
tOral College.

ALBERT G.. GREENE.
East-Greenwich, August 10, 1881.
From the Prov. Journal.

H. from Tie IfoV. journal.
1t appears that great number of re-
spectacle aud influential citizens of this
State made use ofthe opportunity afford
ed by the sitting of the Court of Common
Pleas, in East Greenwich, to meet each
other, and such as might be attending
that Court, on Thursday last, for the
purpose Of conlcrring on the ensuing
Congressional Election, and giving and
receiving such mutual information of oc-
currcnccs and movements in their re-
spective towns as might have an inHu-
cncc on that Election. As it is well
known that very active though silent
measures have been in progress by the
Jackson party, to defeat, or at least to
weaken, the expression oithe public SEN
tmCnt in favor Of Mcssrs. Burgess aud
Pcarcc, and TO scatter the seeds of dis
cord amongst their friends, IT was GER
tainly important that the citizens OF dli-
fcrent towns should take an opportunity
to compare notes, and inform each other
of what was going on, IN order that ei-
fcicnt measures might be taken TO pre-
vent Misrepresentation and mischief.
No formal or organized meeting was
contemplated; yet, as most Of those pres
