KENTUcKY.-The Louisville Journal has re-
turns from nearly the whole State. The Senators
elected stand Wing to Loco-F oco these hold
Ing over are about 20 Wing to 10 Loco. To the
House IS Wings and 40 Locos are elected-two
to hear from. Among the Wings elected are
Chiffon Allan, ex-M. c., c. S. Morehead, ex-
Lieut.. Governor, and John L. Helm long Speak
er; among the Locos, Col. r. M. Johnson, ex-
Vice President, and Chi,tenden Lyon, ex-M. c.
1t is worthy of remark that one half of the Lo-
co-Focos are elected on the Relief hobby from
such strong Wing Counties as Boone, Fleming,
Grayson, Hart, Lewis, Union, Montgomery, Madi-
son, Pulaski, Shelby, Simpson and Woodford.-
Thus this beautiful party which usually processes
hostility to legislatng against public distresses-
which thinks the People are apt to expect too
much from Government and especially deprecates
alternating public embarrassments by issues Of
rag money, have here carried County after County
by promising to procure the passage of Stay Laws,
Valuation Laws, the creation Of Commonwealth
Bank, &c. &c. So in Vermont, they pretend to be
the best friends of Protection to Wool, in Louis
lana to Sugar, and so If they could carry a
State any where by insisting that they were the
consistent friends of National Bank, they would
do it, and make their followers believe it too.

MURDER IN AFRlcA.-The brig Harriet, at
Baltimore, from Cape Measurable, bring. the fol.
lowing intelligence, which we cut from the Balti-
more Sun:
On the 2eth Of April last the schooner Mary
Carver, Captain Farwell, of Plymouth, 1Ia.sa-
chusetts, was at Beribay, trading village on the
west csast of Africa, inhabited by natives of a
very savage character. No dispute had occurred,
as previously reported, between Captain Farwell
and the natives; but they induced him to come
ashore to see some camwood, which they proposed
to sell him. On reaching the shore, he wa.
treacherously seized, and delivered over to the
tender mercies of the women and children.
Having been stripped of his clothing, he was
tied to tree, pelted with stones by the women
and children, beaten with pestlss and clubs, and
otherwise brutally tortured. While this scene was
enac,ing on Shore more extensive tragedy on
board the schooner was going on. The men OF
the tribe boarded her and murdered the entire
crew, one who had fled aloft being compelled to
descend, when he was deliberately put to death.
They then returned on shore, informed the captain
of their sanguinary proceedings, with the addi-
tional information that they would complete the
massacre by killing him also. He begged his life
at their hands on account OF his absent wife and
child, but the ruthless sevages had no cars for his
en,reaties. They attached stone TO his person
by suspendins it from his neck put him into
canoe, put of from the beach, and deliberately
ieng him overheard when he sapk to rise no more.
The vessel was then beached and plundered by the
nurderous villains.
