Parties in Kentucky.—The Maysville Eagle furnishes a table of the majorities given in Kentucky at the Presidential election of 1828, and at the recent Congressional election. In 1828 Gen. Jackson received majorities in nine districts and Mr Adams in three. By the table mentioned above, it appears that the nine districts which in 1828 gave Gen. Jackson a majority of 10,480 votes over Mr Adams, gave this year a majority to the Jackson ticket of but little upwards of 3000—showing a loss of more than SEVEN THOUSAND. And that the THREE districts which gave Mr Adams a majority of 2610, gave a majority this year of more than 4700 to the Clay ticket—leaving a clear majority in the State of 1300 for Clay—and showing an actual gain, since the Presidential election, of NEARLY NINE THOUSAND VOTES.
