Kentucky

The Kentucky papers are discussing the claims and quail.
ifcauons OF various individuals TO represent that State IN
the Senate, in place of Mr.. Morchead, who, it is said, does
not desire a reelection. Among the candidates named
are Judge Underwood, Judge Breek, Gov. Leieher, Chiffon
Allan, John A. MeClung, Garrett Davis and John L. Helm.
The Paris Citizen says, "our own first choice, We do not
hesitate to say, is Henry Clay, provided he Is willing to re-
turn TO the Senate - and this sentiment is echoed by other
papers. The Lexington Observer remarks, on these de-
monstauons: ain regard to the question as to the return
OF Mr.. Clay 10 the Senate, we speak with great reluctance,
since we know that, from our location and vicinity to Ash.
land, an importance is likely to be attached to what We say
wholly unjustfied by facts. We know nothing whatever
OF Mr.. Clay's wishes or intentions, except that we think
we know Mr.. Clay well enough to know that he will deep.

The Philadelphia North American describes two flags.
which were suspended, 4 few days ago, in front Of the store
OF Messn. VIM. II. Horismsn & Sons, No. 81 North
Third street, attracting large crowds Of admirers. The
flags are OF rich bunung-one Of the garrison size, the other
q storm fsg. The dimensions of the first are SO by 90
feet, made with red and white striped and blue fhl, the
same as the United States Ensign, with the exception Of a
circle or disc Of white bunting, II feet in diameter, in the
centre, on which Is painted in transparent shading the coat
o: AIMS of Virginia, with the motto, SIC SempeT TyrdnniI
in black letters. The other flag is OF the same deserp-
ton, 10 by 90 feet. Those flags are intended FOR the Ca.
pi,ol at Richmond, to be used during the sessions Of
the Logislature-afer tho fashion Of the two Houses Of
Congress, over the respective chambers Of which flag
are hotsteG while they are in session and lowered when
they adjourn. The North American says, they are the lar
gest and best flags Of the kind ever made by the Messy
Hertsmsn, and fully realize the expectations Of tho artist.

adopt the hercsy of Modification, and led her to the verge

OF two bales and n half OF our cotton in the hundred, rs Mr..
Calhoun supposed, the Kentucky manufacturers Of these az.
