ITThere we're large number OF Old
Line Democrats about town yesterday "fired
with indignation" of the result Of the outra.
geous and criminal folly of their brethren in
Louisville. They drew largely upon their
inflamed imagfnations for curses and dsnuh-
Citations against the American party, and
boldly alledged that their friends had been.
beaten in Kentucky by being kept away from
the polls by the Know Nothings. Now the
facts are, that every county thus far heard
from in the State has given majorities for the
American ticket, far exceeding any hitherto
given against the Democracy, and the most
perfect quiet preserved durngthe day, every
body having an opportunity to vote, and to
vote his own sentiments. In Louisville,
there was actually little or no disturbance at
the POLLS the rows and fighting generally
being commenced by the Sag NIGHTS in the
remote parts of the city.

OF Our paper has been pretty much en-
crossed the last two or three days with de-
tails, &C., of the riots at louisville. AS we
are determined the blame of these riots shall
attach to where it rightfully belongs. and
that the falsehoods Of those Americans
in hearts and souls. as well as in name and ac-
ton, seeking to hold foreigners innocent and
Americans alone gully in this affair." shall
be exposed, we may yet feel called upon to
devote considerable space to articles and ex-
tracts on the subject.

his kind letter. Although differing with US,
he does SO in manly way, and we respect
his opinions and the manner in which he

Horrors Mortified.

From nearly two columns OF as gross
falsehoods relative to the Louisville riots, as
could well be cohcocted by even the profess
sionaL falsifer who wrote them for the Times,
we extract the following as rather excelling
in Intensity:
The mob finding their game becoming
scarce, set the torch to the houses; the wo-
men fled; one we heard of who was flying
with young infant in her arms, was follow
ed by a hard Hearted wretch, who, coming
up put the l..uzzle of the weapon to the
child's head, fired and dashed its brains over
it's mothers arms.
Had any man in the mob committed such an
outrageas this his fellows would have torn him
to pieces. Women and children were safely
watched and protected during the @Hole
scene, as we ourself witnessed. Here is an
other:
woman who attempted to save her hus-
band, was pitched down stairs, breaking her
neck and limbs, SO that she died. Several
other men were killed, the exact number we
cannot learn.
Ali lie about that woman, and no one
knows that better than the author of the
above paragraph.
We learn that the whole number killed
and burned in the Eigth Ward riots, amounts
to twenty-seven men, women and children.
A gross exaggeration. One woman was
burned to death. If any others persisted in
the burning houses, it was not because close
search had not been Instituted to find all per-
sons in the houses. But the following rath-
ef caps the climax:
We are informed that while the deeds of
bloodshed were being perpetrated, lady
| the wife of one of our respectable merchants
on Market street, went to every drug store
in search of strychnine, in order to kill her
self, before being killed by the Americans

fore writing it down.
i We hear that Geo. D. Prentice stated ir
his speech, in front of our office, last night
that he had more cause of hostility against
the editors of the Times than any other man
in the city, or out of it; and although they
had just provocation for any outrage thai
might be pefpetrated, he hoped they wonld
not destroy our private property. He declar
ed in his speech that our person, and not oul
property, ought to BE attacked.
: We stood by the side of Prentice while he
spoke on the occasion referred to, and W:
! deny that he ever used such language. He
/, said all such differences were personal mat
t ter between himself and the editors of thu
Times, and so it should be with those Their,
assembled. He never advised an attack upoI

from the back of the Redan, whence a good
view IS obtained, tho scene is one of ruin and
destruction. In front are the barracks.

fronts shattered in every direction, the roofs

blackened by fire. On the right the Mala-
