KESTUcKY ELEcTIoN.-The accounts
from Kentucky of the second days cleo
ton, are equally as cheering as those re-
ceived yesterday. In nearly every town,
city and county heard from, the Clay
tickets were running ahead swiiter than
was anticipated by the most sanguine OF
our friends. 1t is nearly certain that
Wicklilfe, Shannon, Lecompte, Coleman
and Daniels, five Jackson members OF
the last Congress, will be deleated.-
The Washington Globe says
"Our information renders certain the
success of the Clay candidates in LOUIS
vile, Frankfort and Lexington. These
places may be considered close boroughs
of the bank. In Louisville, the Bank
debtors and tenants voted mih The Bank
Hrery and badges on their hats. In the
city of Louisville, the Clay ticket pre-
vailed by a vote of nearly two to one"
The Louisville Focus, at the clusc Of
the second day, says
sThc Jackson men acknowledge them
selves beaten here, and are seeking, IN
the influence of the Bank question and
other local influences, a salve to modify
the soreness ofdefeat. They need COM
fort in their distress, and we, like good
Samaritans, will let them have it,"
The Lexington Reporter, of the Sec
ond day savs:-
"The election in this county has been
conducted with calmness and good order.
The votes yesterday at the court house
were in favor Of the Clay ticket, and at
the close to day the difference between
the two tickets riH be more than was erer
anticipated. The good work of Reform
goes bravely on"
