To Volunteer Candidates.

The cards of some gentlemen who are volunteer
candidates for different offices. have been handed
to us for publication. One was lastweek inadvert-
emily published. that of Mr.. Luckett, who it
seems is a volunteer candidate for Assembly.
We must respectfully decline to publish any of
these notices. Those gentlemen whose cards were
accompanied by money to pay for their insertion
are hereby informed that the funds await their
ORDERS s4
We can state in few words our reasons for thus
acting. We intend to devote all our energies to
the election of the Democratic ticket-wc publish
that ticket and none other-we intend to defend
that ticket and none other. That ticket was fair
ly made, as much as any ticket that ever was
made in this county. So fa- we can see there is
but one question, and that is Democracy or Know.
Nothingism, and we think that all personal feel
ing, all petty ambition should be merged in thi.
| momentous issue. Any Democrat who, since tbs
Louisville massacre, can coolly endeavor to desea
the ticket selected by his party, and thus bring
| about the triumph of KNOWN othingism, is in
our view a mutinecr, and no better than Know.
Nothing all such individuals can receive nt
aid and comfort, countenance or encouragement
from us.
Those gentlemen. who belonging to neither o
the acknowledged political organizations Of the
county come juking out as Independent candidates
cannot come any Of their gum ga,aes over us
Their high sounding names of Independent Amer
icaa &C., can not charm. We know exactl,
where to put them-they are Know Nothings ant
nothing else, and we will avoid them as we woult

Louisville Massacres..

Our exchanges still continue to be filled with
notices of the horrible excesses committed by the
monsters calling themselves men, at the Louisville
election.
We have carefully examined all the accounts,
as published in the Journals Of both parties; we
have paid especial attention to the remarks of the
:. Louisville Journal,r the paper published by the
infamous Prentice, both before and after the cleo
tion and it is caim deliberate conclusion, that
history cannot show a transaction more disgrace
ful to humanity, more calculated to stagger the
faith Of the Republican in the capacity Of the pco-
pie for self government, nexcusable on every
ground Of justice and right.
1t Is evident from the articles published in the
Know Nothing organs, that there was precon-
.ccrted arrangement, that the Know-Nothings in
Louisville should take possession of the polls,
pecially in the strong Democratic Wards, and
prevent the polling of the anti Know-Nothing
Vote. 1t is evident from the Know Nothing or
gans, that this arrangement was carried out; there
Is no doubt, and it is not denied even by the most
black hearfed Kno@ Nothihgz, that Che arrange
neDt was carried out, not only that armed bands
of bullies took possession of the pfuces Of voting
and the approaches thereto, but also that threat
ening notices were distributed during the week
preceding the election, among the naturalized cit
izens, warning them not to appear at che polls
threatening personal violence in case that ehey
should attempt to cast their votes.

organs. that unoffending citizens were attacket

WILL PRENTICE BE PRoSECUTED2
The Lousrille Journal of, Monday, August
9th, the day Of the pretended election and nten-
ted massacre, contained the following sentences:
" The Sag-nichts of Louisville win think there
is a terrible srorm of thunder and Lightning to

This Louisville .Jouraa is edited by George d.
Prentice, well-known and responsible citizen.
He is still in Louisville, and the law surely can
be made to reach him, as chief accomplice in in
citing to a riot, the like of which in barbarity,
has never before disgraced this continent. The
sound of that riot will go through tile earth. Its
horrid details will be familiar in month over all
Europe, and in three months, they will be read
with execration, in Australia and farther India.
Every enemy of republcanism will repeat the
tale, every hater Of social wrong will treasure it
up in his memory, every American abroad will
hang his head for shame when the name of Louis
vile is mentioned.
And for this cruel, cold blooded, open resort to
murder and arson, who is to blame2 For this
national shame, who is to blame? We answer
primarily and principally, George D. Prentice,
the publisher Of the programme of bloodshed,
which we have taken from his journal and set at
the head of this column.
Never talk to us of the river rowdies, always
to be found prmed and loaded for any outrage
along the levces of the Ohio Never speak to
of those nurseries Of arson, the voluntary fire
CON panies. Indict not SO much the Mayor, who
refused to take precautions, and the city officials,
who headed the pillage and slaughter Who was
their organ their oracle their prompter? Who
is their defender now, as he their accomplice
throughout? A man of education, and of preten-
ted respectability. That man upon whom We
invoke the sword Of justice. if there be such a
thing as Justice left in the land is the Editor of
the Lo,asuiNe Journal
If anything could deepen the honcidal guilti-
ness Of this man, it is the total absence of human
| feeling with which he chronicles the results of
his own incendiary appeals, and the diabolical
assurance with which he would make its victims
the authors Of their own destruction. A viler
web of special pleading, more satanic show of
seif-complacency than he has exhibited in his re-
port upon his own work, has never reached the
public eye in any community.

The charge of our" cue F" in political
matters from any headquarters" is a
mean falsebood. We express our opin-
ions quite as freely and independently
as the Cincinnati Gazette. Our ST.
%lence" in regard to Mr.. Van Buren,
has arisen from the fact that we have no
new opinion to express on the SUBJECT
His political course in ls4S was very
consurable, and lie is not square on the
Democratic phgform noO; but it would
be abused to say that he has any affinity
with the Chase and Seward politicians,
whom he heartily %denounces. In his
opposition to RepubIicanism and
TO Know Nothingism," and in his
demand that the Nebraska Bill shall be
carried out, he agrees with the National
Democracy. Our position in regard to
John is exactly similar with that of the
Detroit Free Press-the able and in1u-
entail organ of the Democracy of Mich
igan-which says:
We do not very much admire some
of Mr.. Van Buren's party antecedents,
but we do not withhold the good things
he says on that account. We differ
with the Washington Union NE in
fnitely prefer the success Of the "Soft !"
ticket to that of the /" Republican,

these tickets must be chosen"
One of the "good things" to which
