Jaiaso. four years arid not Majur Barry, is of italf, of nil party considerations, a sourea of real triumph mid cnnjrrat'ilatiun. Acquainted, Irom experience, with the feelings and the noons-silict of every portion of society, to him the newt bumble nx well as lliu roost cxaltud may with e.inti.louc fiir sympathy in their misfit-tune, and for such relief from the impositions of hu law his stnliott may authorise, and a justice mxy annntitnw Endued with greit strength nf mind and an axaiduity which l)Wnv bind bun in niiddlo life lo supply the deficiencies gif an early education and study itient in investigation, firm in purpose, mild in dipu-stionj and conuiliat iry in his conduct and folding all mny look to him lor a ju-t, wise ami temperate exercise of the powers of Ilia office. Hiving ho'd himself aloof from tho I teal conflict which have agitated our State sinoo the ntMsniro of the1 Ru-organizing Act, he neither feels to-' irj oilicrs nor towards himself -a- of ho hitter anil deep-root animosities hie were engendered by that distracting subject, llo comes la the gubernatorial chair of Kentucky butter suited than any other of her citizen to heal llm Wounds which party strife Ins undo to g.vo repost) to our Stale to impart union to het eouneilf, and to direct her undivided r-gic to tlje real object of Government -the improvement of Imr condition and the advancement of the happiness of her people- We deem it superfluous, and others might deem it invidious, to insiitulo any comparison between Geucml Metcalfe and Ins lata competitor or Ids lata pro-decoasoia. The condition of the country and tho course of the Lxeoutiv fir tha lust eight pear aro fresh in tha recollection of Tho at tier lien gives assurance of a change, the prospect of which is grateflil indued exhilarating to th friend of justice and of peace -to those (and there era many such) who have lamented that our State, highly favored by the gifts of Providtnce, has for years been wasting her strei -tli in intoslino broils and commotions while her less favored sisters hava fur out-stripped her in tha prosecution of those great objects that constitute tha glory and ensure the prosperity of a Commonwealth.

Kxtendmg onr views still farther, wa find in the relations of our own and of other Stales to the Iuinn, and in the general circumstances of the confederacy at this moment, additional and perhaps not less important reasons fur rejoicing in the choice which Kentucky has made, Ala time when that course of policy on tho part of the General Government which Kentucky has always advocated a essential to her interests and to those of the nation, is officially denounced by the executive and legislative authorities of some of the State as unconstitutional and oppressive, mid measures of opposition and resistance recommended, which tend to a speedy dissolution of the I'uion when laboured efforts are nuking to diniihwh, in the public opinion, the valuo uf tho Iuiou, and by this and otlior means to prepare the minds of the cuicens for its destruction when distinguished men in our own and other Htgtes are breathing forth dark forbodingr, that ahuold a majority of the pcopta of tho U-nited Mutes refuse to muko A certain Hero their 1resideot the I'nion will not survive his rejoc-tion when these end other circumstances apprise us of an approaching storm whose fury is tu ho directed against tint Union of the States and the most sacred of our institutions cemented bv (lie blood of our futbers consecrated hy the wdotn utid the paternal affection of Washington-rendered doar to by the blessings they have secured to ourselves, and still dearer by the promise held forth to our ehildron: Amidst these awful portents of revolution and disunion, it is a sourco of high and patriotic triumph that Kentucky has elevated to her highest office a man having no affiuily of character, principle, feeling, intere-t or wishes with those who for a-tiv purpose whatever would thus overwhelm, in the chaos of disunion nnd anarchy, the past glories and tho future hopes of their country. It i meet that Kentuiky, tho eldest daughter of the Union Kentucky, who has shewn her devotion to the Union ih pence and in war whose blood, poured out in defence of the Union, ha crimsoned tho icy plains of the North, and mingled with tho sickly marshes of tho Mouth, should, at such crisis ns tho present, discountenance, decisively, every attempt, project or o-pimou that lends to disunion. And she lias dona so by the election of General Metcalfe, who, while he is known to he devoted to (he rights of Ins State, is nl-o known to be equally devoted to tho preservation of the Union and who entert uns as a tund.imental principle on this subject, the sentiment of Wu-hmgton, that on the union of tho Mtates essentially depend thvir the proceeding fg.iiiv-t il.o r.tfm iho South factious and unju-t, lending to treason and di--union, amt the ildpuni'iutiuiix uf Kentuiky trout that quarter ilhher il and K.

'I be next Bulletin will contain tho proceed ings at large, Mil. Cl.AY.' After a short visit for the improvement oflio-health and for purposes of business, the Secretary of State left this town two tveik ngooti his return to Washington. In compliance will, the wishes of his fiicmls at Louisville, he passed through that beautiful and nourishing City, where, as well as at Shelby ville and other plac on the road, lie was received with every maik oi respect and kindness due to a faithful public servant, and hich a gcncroua and grauiful people could shew to their slandered, and persecuted folio-, vcit.zen. At Louisville a Committee from Cincinnati waited upon him and invited him to spend a few days in that City.

He accepted the invitatiun, arid was welcomed thcio by an immenso concourse of enthusiastic ftiends. lie left Cinciihiatl on Tuesday last for the mouth of Guyandotto and fee White Sulphur Springs. During this visit of Mr. Clay tho malice of hi ncmius exceeded all bounds. The most scurrilous and indecent abuse was heaped upon kin by tliei abandoned presses and foul-moulhct! purtizans-oFGenerul Jackson; but their rage i' become impotent.

Tho more they slander him tho more popular lie appears to be." When they cease their attacks he and his friends will cease to defend his character and motives. No-before. They will however hut continue to appeal to REASON AND Jl'STICE-not MOB LAW, after the exnmple of llm Hero ites io Tennessee and elsewhere. MISSOURI has elected a Jackson member of Congress -Mr. Spencer Iottis in the place of Mr.

Bates. This sign is against our friends, but we are assured by several intelligent person that tho cause is not hopeless in Missouri. Hex-Electors are chosen by districts, and in November she will not forget to whom gratitude and honour aro due for her present rank among the independent States of the Union. INDIANA, a Jackson State, at the latd Presidential election, is now altogether for the Administration. Two oflicr three Representative in Congress (Messrs Test and Jeirnmgs) are de cideil friends, and were elected by-very large majorities; third (Mr.

Boon) a Jackson man, but he was elected by 31 votes onlyovet Mr. Blake. ILLINOIS has re-clected General Duncan to Congress, hut we still think that State will vote for Mr. Adams. Gen.

Duncan is an Anti-Adam; Clay man. 1 LOUISIANA is without doubt decidedly foF the' Administration, and strongly against Jack-son. i MISSISSIPPI has elected Gen. a Jackson min, to Congress, ufter axloso contest? with Mr. Bingainan, a fiiend to the Administra- lion.

Mr. Adams's Administration has many wnrni friends in Mississippi, and the prejudice against the Tariffis fast giving place to ju-t viety' of a liberal national policy. Hut that State Iras alwavs been conceded to Jackson. TENNESSEE appears to ho tho theatre rf" violence and discord. The charzo oC Burrisiner1 so completely established Hgainst General 'Jjcc- sen, t- at hispartizaiu forgetting the dirtato of Peace, their Independence, mid iho permanency oftbeir free instiluiioiit.

While, then lore, theie Wiy bo individuals, Legislators, Governors, ami yen State, th it are disposed to sacrifice the U-nion, liberty, every tiling, ni'hcr limn submit to 1 disappoimm ml in their present object of. lev iting Geucml u.ksou iho rrusidvnry we luvu the and tl.e pride to l.iw I li it Kentucky has choi cm a Governor, who. whether Mr. Ad.un nr General Jukxmi slidl he I resident, wid stand by the Union who estuuatts tlir in-terc-ts nt his country at a higher duo th in tho-o of individual in it, and looks upou tho union of llm at of greater importance to tint prencii! und to future generation th in the elev jiou of any ni.ut to the highest nffro milid Government We repeat then, that the election of Generd Metcalfe, imlepimJrntlv of all pirty cons, derations, is a tiouree of il triumph.

1 1 future ililh tm perlnpt wo may eon-ulir tho l.ito eluclion in ils hearings upon the queBtion. At pre'aut wo w.l! ou'y iv, that even if tho rontust htvucu General Mu'-c ilfo and Major Burry had not been made and considered as a lest of the opinions of the votcu of Koiitm ky upon that quostion, wo should have coris.iicrsd the e'ectiuu of (iencral Metcalfe as a strong evidence, of the pi evidence of those sentiments and principles which would necnssanly lead lo a prefereme of ftlr, Adams, Under tualoircumitmooK, we it to bn a ceruin indication that a majority of the people of Kentucky are at tins moment in ivor of Mr. Adams re-election. And, altliough tho majority is not so great as actually to put an end to the contest, it is yet sullii tent to shew ihut have the majority, nnd to furnish at onco with the strongest motives to uudimiiiiBhcd exertion, and tho atumatin hope ef viltimute success. THE INAUGURATION.

On Tuesday last General Thorax Mr.r cunt, the Governor elec', took tfce oath prc-; scribed by tho Constitution, and entered upon the duties of tho office. Tl.o assembly of Citizen in the Methodist Church was large and i'e-tpectable, anJ the ceremony was conducted wilhj due solemnity and propriety. Define taking the oath an Address on behalf of tho citizens of Irankfort, was pionouoced by J. W. Desst, Esq.

to which tho Cuvornor briiuly replied. A number of persons from Bourbon and Fhyette accompanied tho Governor to Frankfort. At various places on tho road they' were nut by small parties of citizens who congratulated his Excellency and interchanged salutations. Refreshments for the hole company were furnibh-eJ by Mr. U.

Cole, and again' at the line of Franklin County by the Committee from Frunk-fort, here a large number of gentlemen awaited tho arrival of the escort. Captain Hunter, of Franklin, discharged the duties of Marshall on the occasion a handsome manner. Tho Governor, alter taking the oath, was conducted by the Committee ot Arrangements to Mr. Weisei-gers Inn, here he dined with a numerous party of his fellow citizens, lurty feeling in the Metropolis of the State we hope is fast subsiding uot the slightest indication of it eiiuld be discerned by a stronger who witnessed the proceedings, unless jt were to be found in the eb- since of the late Chief Magistrate, who did not participate in the general joy and feeling of patriotic good will winch appeared to animate all hearts and all parties. THE SOUTHERN WAR-WHOOP.

The citizens assembled at Frankfort on Tuesday last to itnesa tho inangaration of the Gov. ernor, after that ceremony lud been gone through, formed themselves into a public meeting tu take into consideration the unpatriotic and anti-social proceedings oftlie people of. South Carolina and Georgia. JOHN 13ROWN Esq. was eallc.l to tho Chair and RICHARD A.

CTRD Esq. of Lexington, was appointed Sce-retary. A committee was appointed to prepare an address, Ac. The meeting then adjo i ned until 5 oclock in the afternoon. At llie hour appointed, tho Church was again filled with a large and respectable audience.

J. J. Crittenden F.sq. presented a temperate and able paper on the subject of tho meeting, winch concluded with two resolutions, declaring AKTi-jACirsoai nuLurnn, ASD MMSbEXtlKK Of TlilTH. I.LViN'GTON, K.
