cheering letter from Lexington, which, we are
afraid, is rather TOO sangune. We give rev
extracts:

DENLY h. lieye we cannot lose more than from TWO

Democratic Parry calculate on getting 2ou malo-
rily. We have now no doubt II Will go over 4oo,

"Mr. Clay took his stand in the Court House
yard 10 give his counlenance 10 his adherents,
but il would no, do; his iron hand had been 100
long npon them, and many have broken their
chains, and renowned Whisgery forever. From
The signs Of the times | am inclined TO believe
that we will gel eight of our Congressman out OF
the ten, viz: French, Tibbaus, Marshall MT
tai in The Louisville district, Martin in Whites,
McCreye, in Green's Stone, and Boyd. we
have good chance 10 re-eect Caldwell, and will
make a close race in Orders. You will see we
are in higher spirits; and as the Wings are like
rats deserving sinking ship, We are rising IN
energy, resolved TO conquer our enemies.
The writer estimates the result OF the exciting
election in Mr. Cays District 10 be the return OF
t. F. Marshallby 100 over Garrett Davis.
