KENTUCKY ELECTION.*"" The meetings of the Sheriffs at Frankfort, to compare the polls for Governor on Thursday, has put us in possession of full and accurate information, which will beTound in our columns to day. The friends of civil government have succeeded in electing the only officer, whose election was dtmo§t uuiversatly made to depend on the Presidential question. It is tru«, that other grounds were taken and urged in the electioneering ou both sides, with a-view to preserve the full strength of his party to each candidate, and to win something more by collateral considerations eperating on individuals in the opposing party But from the best information we have received, we believe these considerations had altogether very little effect. The new couit politics of Mr. Barry may have caused a few military votes to be withheld from him, and some of them to be given to Mr. Metcalfe but at the same time, he received doubtless about the'same number of civil votes on account also of his stale politics. A fairer trial ot the it charge to you lo avoid all isstrengthof parties could hardly be respect or contempt of the had under any circumstances.

Si a: You are entrusted with a command of the utmost consequence to the interests and liberties of America: 'Upon your conduct and courage, and that of the officers and soldiers detached on this expedition, not only the success of the present enterprise and your own honor, but the safety and welfare of the whole Continent, may depend. I charge you therefore, and the officers and soldiers'under your command, as you value your own safety and honor, and the favor and esteem of yourselves as marching not through an enemy's country,but that of our friends and brethren: for such the inhabitants of Canada and the Indian nations have appointed themselves in this unhappy contest between Great Britain and America.

That you check, by every motive of duty, and fear of punishment, every attempt to plunder or insult any of the inhabitants of Canada. Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any Canadian or Indian in person or property, 1 do most earnestly enjoin you to bring hiui to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require—should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportionate to its guilt at such a time flc in such a cause.
