Kentucky Eieciions.-The Baltimore Chro-

Kentucky is confined to three districts, last
represented by Van Bnrenitcs. In the nine
districts represented by Wings, the friends
of the administration have deserted the field;
scarcely making n show Of opposition. In
the other district, last represented by Mr.

Rnnsey, a staunch' Wing. who walks over
unopposed. Our friends are pretty confident
ofcarrying another of the Van Buren, dis

A SHORT ARTICLE FOR THE BENEFIT or
CANDID JACKSON MEM have but few
words to say to you, bat trust they will give
you matter for rejection, and that they may
hereafter influence your opinions and your
conduct.
! heso are hard times for You. You are in
trouble. You cannot pay your debts, Tor you
cannot collect of those who owe you. There
is no money in circulation. There is no pros
pect of relief-of "times being any better."-
An your hopes are disappointed, and which
ever way you turn there is gloom and dcs-
pondency. You inquire of one aud another
what is the cauae OF this, and you get one AN
swer or another, rs the person to whom yon
apply happens to be Wing or Jackson man
You cannot get at u satisfactory result, Tor
those upon whose opinion you rely do not a.
gree in their explanation of the cause of all
these troubles. You are perplcxed and con
fused. Now, if all these common measures
fail Of giving you satisfaction, Think for your
SELF Inquire for facts oaly,-ponder these
over in your mind, carefully and candiGly,and
make up your own decision.
Ask the Oldest of your ncighbors il he cv.
or knew, or if he ever heard his father men
ton such pressnrc--such hard times, when
our country was at peace. Look back, your
self, over the history of few short years.
Was not every thing in prosperous condl-
ton, eight years ogo,whcn the Jackson party
Game into power. Has not that party been
IN power ever since in the nation, and for ma
ny years past in the State. Have they not
been able to do what they pleased at all times
without let or hindrance? II they were will

the country would be promoted, were they

either good or evil that comes upon the great
body Of the people. And have they so regu-
utcd affairs as to keep the country and its in
habitants in as prosperous condition as they
found it, On the contrary, have there not
be-, 'ups and downs"-ycars Of plenty and
al scarcity,-of prosperity and OF sutirrng;-
Inns there not been one continued scene Of
strife, contention aud confusion ever since
they came into power. Has it not been a. Pc
riod Of changes and Of experiments of the
tearing down of ancient land marks and the
setting up Of new. In one word, has the
jackson party left this great people as pros
porous and happy as it was 8 years ago.
Now, think for yourself; ask no mans o.
rnlon or explanation. Lay the paper down
aud reflect. pretend not to point out the
causes which have produced this result, but
ask, must there not be something rotten nj
the bottom OF all this? Must there not be
something radic8lly wrong in the measures
which have brough, as from prosperous

MR.. WEBSTER IN CHICAGO.

The reception of the Champion of the Con-
stltntion was AZ enthusiastic in this new city
OF the lakes, as in any of the older colnmuni-
ties through which he has recently passed.
The chicago American Of the LIST inst. says /:
IN conformity with previous arrangements,
MIR. Webster was met at Barry'S Point, about
ten miles from THIS city, by a deputation Of
The COMMITTEE OF Arrangements, who with
splendid cortege OF about eighty horsemen
and long train of carriages escorted him to
the city. Ills approach was greeted with a
salute of cannon from the guns of the Fort.
and after being attended through the princi.
pal streets, he arrived ii his lodgings at the
Lake House, where he was greeted with
shouts Of welcome from the voices of hun
dreds. lie was addressed on the steps of
the Lake House by II. Moore, Esq. on behalf
of the Committee Of Arrangements, in n very
appropriate speech, which was responded to
by MIR. Webster in a few remarks, which, we
hope, are but a forctastc Of more extended
qualification Of the wishes of an eager COM
munty. One remark which fell from Mr.
Webster. entirely Characteristic of the man,
we wish to repeat az illustrative Of that OK
pandcd patriotism which, overlooking the bar
rlers OF sectional and temporary interests, en-
braces the great pcrvading principle which
directs the acts and speeches Of the great
statesman Of the east. "Ihare" says he, "but
one oJect-the good Of he ,v,oie country
knor no .Aicghanirs. The East and Me Uta,
the Worth and the South, are Equality my coun-
t'y and the interests Of ell, beyond measure,
are dsdr TO me." II there is any man in this
age, in this or my other country, who can
say this with more truth and consistency than
Mr.. Webster, we are ignorant of the man.
The following toast was drank:
Our distinguished guest the pride of the
.whole cOuntry,"-the firm defender Of the
Constltution-the cnlie ehtcned advocate of in
ternal improvcments-tbc guardian of labor,
and OF the only currency that can be it's sure
reward-the sincere friend of the great West,
and OF the rights of the honest settler-the
profound statesman, on whom as a pillar of
strength, rest the hopes and safety of our
country.
On the arnunciation of this toast, says the
Chicago American, "thc concourse adjourned
to the open space within the stockade, which
ID now no longer occupied as military sta
ton, where Mr.. Webster delivered a speech
which occupied about an hour and n half and
was listened to with the most enchainod at
tention. interrupted occasionally with bursts
of applause. VIZ have heard Mr.. Webster
before with admiration, but never did We feel
a higher regard for the man, or more entire
appreciation of his principles, than on this oc-
casion. Mr.. Webster,we feel confident, needs
only to be known in The West, to be apprc-
ciated (as he isl rs most decided friend and
supporter of lis interests"
Mr.. Webster left Chicago on the morning
Of the lst, in the steamboat Jumcs Madison,
for Michigan City.

dence TO say-''tbere IS no pressure

that when the Pre- sident and his mn IONS

ducing the price OF labor,i IN making their

which il is derived" must no, be forgot
ten! Formerly it was the theory Of dcs-
potic governments, that the mann were
made Tor the happiness of the tei"-now
it has become the practice openly defend
ed, of Republican America! is it for
such Government that our Fathers
struggled? Is it such II government to
which we owe allegiance, and against
which we may not raise the Patriot arm
in defence of what We have been taught
To- consider inaIienable rights. We think
not Our Government has become cor
rul.t to the core our Rulers are Tyrants,
and our People Slaves oppression and
exi"rion are the order of the day our
Merchants are prostratrd our Mechan-
ics ruined, and our Operatives beggarcd; );
yet The wretchcs who have done all this,
taunt us with oui msiortuncs aud derldc

of ret,buiion ia at hand. The people
true To the principles of their sires, will
make one more appeal I" the ballM-box-

union of the Purse and Sword, We may
yet regain our Liberties by peaceabfe

ed OF him, IT il were not too great u compli-

pie Of these United States suffer themselves
to be abused by such a miscreani? The fourth

Well did he say '.if frecmcn do not think
of remedy on the 4th of July it will never

the people are thinking of "remedy." On

think of "remedy" until such incendiary
