The Frankfort Commonwealth publishes some
extracts from private letters received in Frankfort
from different parts Of the State-letters writ
ten not for publication, but to give reliable private
information, and written by men whose business IL
is to be accurately posted up in regard to their
respective counties, as follows;
HARDIN County, June 3o-"The American party
are now alive and at work. Three Democrats
Joined at the close Of Magofin's Speech and one
withdrew at the close of Clarke's speech; but we
have increased considerably since. Taking of
800 Cat Ole votes and perhaps 300 other Sag
NIGHTS the remaining outsiders will vote with us
by a strong majority Morehead viii have fine
majority here, we think at least 800"
HANCOCK County, June 90" Our whole mum
Der is -, being majority of the votes in the
county, and it is believed will be increased at
least 100 in consequence of the new platform,
which is pure enough for angels to stand on
CRIrrESDEN County, July Half the voters
in the county already in the Order "W. G..
Hughes is the American candidate in this district
for Congress. The party is in fine spirits, and viii
no doubt make successful race"
Topp County, July g." You may safely put
Todd down at 200 for the State officers. We think
it will be more.n
CALDWELL COUNTY, July 81 From an outsider.)
Morehead made splendid speech at Princeton
yesterday few hard cases, and left
some on the anxious seat. He looks in fine health
and goes on his way rejoicing in the certain pros
pect of being elected by at least 10000. He is
satisfied he will get a majority in every Congress
sonal district, except this King, for the Senate,
will get majority in every county in this district"
SPENCER COUNTY June To-" We have a des-
perate struggle in this county. Old men threaten
to disnherit their if they do not come out Of
our party and, in fact, never knew political
contest characterized by such embittered feeling
But, sir, under all these, am proud to say we will
carry Spencer by fair majority. We have already
in the Order about sixtenths of the voters Of the
county, and carry considerable outside vote"
GREEN COUNTY, June l0.--"By election we will
number 500 in the organization, with 200 outside
as true to our principles as those who are in. The
Sag NIGHTS will give US bully fight, but think
there is no doubt of our success. Woolley made
one of his disgusting speeches here the other day.
There were few voters in town, but good many
ladies attended. They will never attend again
when he is TO speak. Morehead delighted his
auditory, and many who had never expressed any
opinion before, are now open advocates of the
American cause. When he was done speaking
he was compmented by the ladies present with
numerous bouquets"

work here in good earnest. We intend to carry

thousand majority
