Kentucky.--The Louisville Democrat, speaking of the political prospects in Kentucky, says : The truth is, the Democrats of Kentucky were never more united than they are for Pierce and King, and the Whigs never half so much divided their ticket. We speak within bounds when we say, that Scott will lose from twenty to fifty Whig votes in every county in this Commonwealth. He would lose twice that number if the election came on immediately, but we calculate that the process of whipping-in will be attended with some success.
