About the sanie time, I had an interview

there could b? no doubt, but that, as to

feated, and that by a considerable ma
jority. ..
The result of the Congressional elec
tion throughout the State -conclusive in,,
formation having reached us from all the
districts is, that; Messrs. T. A- Mar
shall, Chilton Allfen, Robort'P. Lechfr,
Christopher Tomkins, and Thomas Chil
ton, decided Clay men, are elected, and i
Messrs. H. Daniel, R. M. Johnson, Jo
seph Lccompe, John Adair, Nathan G;i
her, Ch. A. Wickliife, and C. Ijyoo all
thorough going administration men, ex
cept Col. Johnson, who, you know, is an
American System man, are also elected j
this election having terminated as much
better for the Clay party, than the last
Congressional election did, as five is bet
ter than two. For this State, it will be
recollected, elected but. two .members to
thelast Congress as Clay men, though
two of the ten Jacksonians deserted that
Chief u;on the development of his prih-j
ciples and policy as President.
The anti-Jackson party were entitled to
a decided majority in the representation
in Congress ; and the only reason why
they have it not is, that the adverse parry
happen to possess (a very great advantage
in the manner in which the Congression
al Districts are laid - off. . This is either
by chance, or by the management of (the
old relief party, (the members of .which
now constitute the main body of the Jack
son party,) when the representation was
apportioned, aadj the State districted,
nine years ago. If the Jackson party had
had the privilege of districting the State,
" j a month ago, in the way to suit their par
ty purposes, they could hardly have im
proved upon the present arrangement.
Take' a map of. the State, and cast your
eye, for an example upon Adair's district,
the main body. of which is composed of
Washington and Mercer, constituting
something like a regular ellipsis, but upon
one comer of Mercer joins a corner of
Jessamine: upon another a corner of
Mercer joins a corner of Lincoln, and
these two latter couties are affixed to that.
Congressional district, like the wings to
a griffin ; between .them, lies Garrard,
bounding many a mile upon Mercer.-
Now, suppose the griffin's; wings (too
weak, we see, toj enable the animal to
rise) were lopped ofi", and Garrard added
to the Mercer district, in their place,
there would be an end. to the oovtcr o!
mills? rather than that good woman should
