The gubernstorial CANVASS n this State n mot
very exciting one. Il seems 10 DO admitted on al
sides that Noreheads majority cannot fan ahort Of
l0,000-the American party having an actual ma
jority of 900 voters In the State. Bets Of two to
one are freely offered on his election, but Hud no
takers.
The canvass for Congress In each district Ia the
exciting theme Of conversation. In the First dis.
trict-Boyd DIS dsstrict-Wills G. Hughes Is the
American candidate. This district has bsen largely
democratic; Boyd has always governed this dis
irict, ard, until lately, he has been worship ped
there a. demigod the nomination Of Burnett, (his
candidate you may ssy) was an unpopular ono,
snd 1t will take all Of Boyds popularity TO save
him, and II is thought thst will not do It, Hughes
ia one Of the most popular speakers in the West,
and TO ia elected will make his mark in Con-
gress. This district can be put down a. doubtful.
In the Second district J. P. Campbell will b
elected by about 500 majority,
In the Third district, W. L. Under wood win be
elected by 800 votes.
In the Fourth district, F. T. Fox Is the American
candidate, and is opposed by A. G|Talbott, inde'
pendent whig. Atthe time that Fox was nomina-
ted by the American party, Talbot was member
Of that party and candidate for the nomination;
mot receiving it, he withdrew and is no running
on bis own hook. Fox win beat Rim 800 votes
In the Fifth district, G. G. Wintersmith will beat

bes. Harris; the race VIII be close 0ne they are
both good speakers ard Intelligent gentlemen.
The Seventh district is how tie centre Of attrac-
tifp. Humphrey Marshall Is the American candi-
date; VIM. Preston Is the Independent candidate.
Both are men Of talent sod speskers and popular.
Co. Preston was elected two years BY over 700
majority; Col. Marshall has been elected twice
from the district by small msorties. Col. Preston
ia man OF finished education and elegant address,
popular manners and wealthy. He has represent ted
tie district in Congress one and half terms. He
has, while there, made several good speeches, and
had several bills passed for tho benefit Of his dis
tIict. He Is bnt little kcown outsds Of his State,
unleps 1t be at Washington City, as It il runored
here that the administration have determined to
OF the Pierce Cabinet electioneering for whg for
Cd. Msrshan has represented this district the
same length Of time as Col: p and with what
dent Fillmore appointed him Minister to China, and
on his retiring 1t was remarked that the lower
house Of Congress had lost the ab'est man in II.
He win be elected by majority Of 1900 or 800
votes. The district stands thus at Il composed OF
the city Of Louisville, and the counties Of Jefferson
Shelby, Oldham, ard Henry. Oldham and Henry
VIII give Marshall 900 msjoiiiy. TO overcome this
majority PrettB must get In che city OF Louisville
$50 majority; IN '53 no carried the city by over
LOO; but in April, 55 the American ticket was
triumphant by over 1,l50. From this you can see,
that Marsball will be returned by good majority.
From this hasty glance OF the different Congress
sioDsl dhhicts, You win see that the American
two can be elected by strong pull. a1d pull alto
gether, AZ we hope and bel eve /: win be done.
On the 9th Of August, Kentucky vin wheel into
the American ranks. On tie 9th Tennessee will
follow her example; and a. these two 60, so goes
tho whole South. MEG.
