trade a carpenter, ivns for 10 years a
soldier in the United States Army,and
was discharged from the 3.1 Regiment
of Infantry in November, 1 829. In
the Spring of 1S30 he wrought at his
trade with Mr. Morton in the. city of
St. Louis. In,1832, he was among
the artificers employed by government
in improving the navigation of the 0
hio and the Mississippi rivers, where
he continued until December of that
year. Ja January 1833, a letter was
received from him, written at the mouth
of the Ohio, but post marked ut Louis
ville,Kentucky,in which he stated that
he was anxious to return to Albany
as soon ns he could. As he did not
return, anti as nothing lias been beard
of him since that time, his relatives are
ooxious to ascertain where he resides,
especially as there is some property
herein which lie has an interest, and
it is very desirable (if living) that he
should return home ip order to enjoy

THE ELECTIONS,
In Kintucky, returns of the late
Election for Governor and other Stole
odicers had been received at Frank
fort, on the 17th instant, from sixty
nine counties, leaving seventeen coun
ties yet to be heard from. In the six
ty-nine counties Clark’s majority o
ver Flournoy, for Governor, is 9,33(3;
and Wickliffs’s majority over Hise,
for Lieutenant Governor, in the same
counties, is 5,176. Seventeen coun
ties are yet to be heard from. In these
seventeen, Clark and Wickliffb’s
majorities, judging from the results in
1832, may be reduced about 1,000 or
1,200 votes. Clark is therefore elec
ted by between eight and nine thou
sand majority, and Wiokliffe be
tween four and five thousand.
. In the State , Senate, consisting of
33 members, 24 are Whigs, and 14
said to be favorable to the present
Administration, Last year there were
22 Whigs and 16 Administration.,
In the House of Representatives,
consisting of 100 members, the Whigs,
as far as heard from, have elected 53,
and the Administration party have e.
lected 36 members. Of the remaining
six members, five .,.111, probably, be
in favor of the present Administration,
St one for iheoppositidn. ,The Whigs,
therefore, have elected A Governor
and Libutbnant Govsrnor,increas
ed their majority in the Senate, and
retained their preponderance in the
House of Representatives.

By the arrival of the schooner Halcy
