 Kenascky Election The returns of ihs election Of Members of Congress from Kennedy, although held on the let 2d and 3s ins, are yet insufficient to form Correct opinion as to the result And as few days will either confirm or disspa,e the anticipaons now
 formed by the friends of Mr. Clay, h will be needless a: present to proclaim triumph. There no donbt, however that in the three large towns of the state, Louisville, Lexington and Frankiort the changes in favor of Mir. Clay have been very great. h the for mer, two years ago the JacksOnians had majority ,he friends of Clay succeeded by vote of nearly lwoto In the last Congress the Representatives were. ten for Jackson, two for Clay. In the Mays vile district, Thomas A. Marshall tCay) is now elec- ted tn place of N. D. Coleman tjackson) by large majority.

 In the Legislature ofthe State, both parties pretend claim the majority, though no. alfof,he had ! been heard from. Senator to Congress is to be elected by the legislature i,s importance of the vote for that body.
 NEginsa-From this State the returns are also ve- ry incomplete. Very many of the Representatives of the last Congress a.e unopposed.
 From Kadiana, we have accounts from only ona county and part of another, which unfasorabe.- Mr. Test. (C.) the late Representative from that dis trict, is probably defeated by Mr. M'Car,y tyJ The Jackson candidate.
 The newly appointed Secretaries of the Treasury and of War; (Messrs McLane and Cass) have arrived at Washington, and entered upon the duties Of their office. The whole the new Cabinet is now organ- ized, and it is 10 be hoped. for the inerestof the country, that there will be nore harmonious action than in the former one. af
 We perceive by the New-York papers that tho Se- cretaries ofStaie and of the Navy are a vsi. to ,i,a, oi,y, probably to take farewell of Mir Van Ba ren pretious to his sailing for England.
 Ii is stated in ah Ohio paper that Meesrs Wirt and Sergeant, who were employed by the Cherokee Ma ,on to defend their cause before the Supreme Court d Washington lait winter, made charge of 10 900 dollars for their services '

IfMr. Adams, shorily after bis inaUeu ration, had sent him on ts missioa to England, the country we imagiae would not have been burthened by the present incumbent oi the Presidential chair so disgraceful to himself and to the nation.
 Mr Calhosn--A meeting oi tho frienGs ofJohn c. ! Calhoun was held a, New-York on Tuesday evening 1 Of las, week. and andry resolutions passed re- commending him as suitable candidate for the Pre- sidency. Though the weather was unpleasant, the l meeting is is said was respectable, boih in point of character and numbers. !, is yet however, we ima- zine, too early to bring forward this gentleman. The scenes exhibited tn the Senate chamber during the years 1896 and '27 yet entirely srgoen ofJor- giren in New-England.
 Stephen S;mpson, of Philadelphia, at the sase that Gen. Jackson was first held up candidate for the Presidency, edited notoriously scandalous newspa. per called the Colun,an Observer, or more common ly aad correctly the Columbian Abnssr, n that city,. He was very zealous advocate of the election oi the General, and probably the most hitter libser of Als Adams in the Uaion.

Jackson, however. Simp- son proceeded to Washington to congratulate she General upon hs success, and doubtless to make ar- engagements for receiving his pay. The organization of the Caises however, but mora especially the late scenes |. Washington, appear to have opened he eyes ,o the miserable course he as we'll as the Jack son party was parsning. In formal ei'c"ar he and
