The Administration In The West.—The present Administration is daily gaining ground in the West, and the citizens of Kentucky have of late been exceedingly active, to convince the Jacksonians, that with them, the cause of the General is hopeless, and that the efforts of his friends to render him popular there, have met with a total failure.

On the 4th instant, an administration dinner was given in the town of Cynthiana, and notwithstanding the day was exceedingly inclement, a vast concourse of the people assembled, and the whole proceedings of the occasion were distinguished by unusual hilarity and decorum. From the numerous toasts drank on the occasion, we select the following, as a specimen of the whole:

"The President of the United States—The correct principles and sound policy displayed in his administration of the government, entitle him to our approbation and confidence, and prove the wisdom of Congress in their choice."

"The Hon. Henry Clay—His zealous and powerful exertions in favor of liberty throughout the world; of the late war; of internal improvements and domestic labor—stand as monuments of his philanthropy and devotion to his country."

These toasts bespeak the sentiments of the people of Kentucky, in relation to the official acts of Messrs. Adams and Clay, and are indicative of the course that State will pursue, at the next Presidential Election.
