KENTUCKY.
The result in Kentucky is brilliant beyond all para |
lel. The Louisville Journal expresses the opinion
that there will not be Is Loco Foccs IN the next Legs
la,urc. The illumination in Louisville the procession
and the whole on the night of the 5th Is de-
scrbcd as having been of the most electric things
of the kind ever remembered in the West, The Jour
nal says
0It is no wonder that the working men of New
Albany and Louisville met and congratulated each
other on their devcrance from tyranny IT was no
wonder that thousands OF ireelnen assembled at the
Log Cabin on Wednesday evening to seal anew their
devotion 10 our glorious Constitution 50 long rampled
upon by the rulers at Washington. 1t is no wonder
that seeing the bright star of Freedom glitter in the
horizon, and knowing that its beams would soon
,llume the whole country, they proclaimed their joy to
each other and to the world. 1t was well for them 10
rejolce-lher JOY was not so much for themselves as
for their country. 1t was well for them to shout
like conquering army, for their shouts were not
those of narrow selishncss, but of broad, liberal
and expanded patriotism. 1t was well that they
should express their high emotions by blazing bon
fires streaming flags, and roaring cannon, for they
cxulied no, any triumph of faction, but at the GER
tain,y of the delverance of the Republic from fear,
full tyranny that for the last twelve years has pressed
upon it with weight like that OF death"
