Kentucky Election. The Frankfort Commentator proves, by the acknowledged returns of the late Congressional Election in Kentucky. that there were eight thousand six hundred and eighty-seven more votes given to the Administration Candidates than to those who avowed themselves for Jackson. There can be no mistake in the calculation. Every candidate on each side of the question is named, and every vote given to each is computed. The returns are undisputed, and show the majority for the Administration to be 8,687! The Administration majority in the State Legislature is established at sixteen, or 77 to 61: and yet people are to be found so "ineffably stupid" as to assert that General Jackson will get the votes of Kentucky.
