JACKSON TRIUMPH IN THE KENTUCKY

Jon'y VIII, we have every believe, exceed
TWELVE HUNDRED.
This, then, is The result of Mr. Clays grand effort to
make an suspicious opening OF the Presidential campaign
with the Gubernatoral election in his own State To
give promising presages in 1925 and make DISPLAY of
popularity homc an earnest on which other States
might rely, the of exertiun was used TO feat
Major Barry, and prevailed The friends of the President
saw the use which made of tile Governors election
men, and have now come forward i'll the threshold close
the door upon Mr.. Clays prospects.
Understanding, do Intimately, the circumstances
which influenced the local elections we shall advert 10
lew particulars, which have contributed give Mr. CLAY
greater show oil strength in the late election although
defeated than he really posscssesand say,
no man ever managed more deXterousy than Mr.. CLAW
has DONE the present OCCASION well the former
Governors election, TO keep up appearances.
ne country that Mi. Clay dsposabc
lies exclusively in Louisville Maysvle and Lexington
and the intervening and surrounding country II is onnd
ed entirely upon tho moncd influence of the Bank and
the monopoizng and mercenary spirit infused into the
richer class whose interests, he has persuaded them il
his purpose foster and advance by peculiar protection
and immunies This phalanX of Aristocracy has al first
in every successive election thrust its minority orw
as having secured the election for Mr. Cay but the re-
turns from the mountain counties, and the Green River
country especially, have uniformly shown that the demo
cratic character OF Kentucky is unchanged.
Mr. Clay determined in the late gubcrnaori election
TO countcac the influence of principle, by sectional feel
ing; and TO effect this purpose, both the Clay candidates
for the two high Offices, selected from the Green
River country. There point OF the Union in which
sectional feeling has so great an influence in an election
this part of Kentucky That norton of the state ya
settled under what called Head-right cams-each

OF payment, which proving unsacabe, left no alternative
to the farmer but forfeiture OF his land first pay

annual application TO the Legislature by what was called
the GREEN RIVER BILL, for time on their nstalmens

OF paying his debt TO the State. The State did not
want the money! for when il was gradually obtained
from the settlers il thrown into the Bank stock
And to accomplish this, Mr. Clay only opposed with
all his eloquence and iog-rOing manage men the relief
accorded to the Green River Settlers but proposed and
urged Resolutions OF forfeiture against them, effect OF
which would have been 70 unouse the unfortunate oc

these things occurred more than twenty years ago they
still felt in the section of country to which o 80
referred by the early settlers aud their descendants And
their influence will be made visible i'm the COMING
Presidential election against Mr. Clay than they were
against MIR. Adams.
To PREVENTS operation the late Gubernational cleo
uon both the Clay candidates chosen from that sec
ION Both were popular, and identified with the Green
RIVER Interest," The one Mr. Buckner, always successful
IN his Congressional electionshe other MIR Moorehcad
always fortunate in his canvass for State Offices. The
vote oil Mr. Meorehead Tor Lieutenant Governor especial
ly IS not to be considered criterion of Mr. CLAWS strength
so lar from it, we assure our readers that he embodied
against his antagonist, Mr. Taylor all that Green Ryer
influence, which, have shewn, has always come
forth TO crush the aspirations of Mr.. Clay.
The same tact in selecting candidates, which we have
pointed out with regard TO Governor aud Lieutenant Co
vernon has been applied TO get Clay candidates elected to
the Legislature. Local and personal considerations have
been brought TO bear TO great extent.
With regard TO the State Senate this skill however has
proved as unaVaing as has in relation the Governors
election Ol The Senators elected this year. FIVE are
Tor jackson and for Clay The Clay party probably
have succeeded IN eecng small majority TO the House
OF Representatives, result produced by the shameful way
IN which the State was apporoued during the session
giving Clay counties representatives and the Jack
son counties fewer than they entitled to-upon the
principle OF the rotten borough system Besides several
OF the strongest Jackson countless have elected CLAW Rem
resenaves The grand result shews that lS of The 80
counties have given Jachson mGjorities-and have Civ
en- clay mGj0rifies Intrigue and management have done
all that possible for Mr. Clay in Kentucky but he has
met with the rebuke he deserved.
