position to the election of Fremont.
The Election in Kentucky, yesterday, "~
by districts and counties, not one In "h'O -,
State ticket was run by either party. '
Democrats had no regular nominee III 'n0
Ion;sv;lIe district, though some democrats
run against the Know Notnlns oAnoioa'es
tbsre a. on their own hook" IL was supposed
hv our friends there, under such circum-
.tances. that the Know Nothing majority in
the city of Louisville would be at least $500
We regard the dispatches, so far received, as
being favorable to the prospect that the De-
mocracy have carried the state, but are not
disposed to halloo until out of the woods"
The Union in New York.-The full and
perfectly satisfactory reunion of the Demo-
cratic party of New York, that was accom-
plished few days since at their Syracuse
State Conventions, has given the Fremont
and Fillmore journals the horrors. They rave
and tear over it, like mad. We discover in
their absurd and violent Misrepresentation
of the present condition of tho Democratic
party of the Empire State, evidence of their
fears that the result of the action of those con-
ventions will be that Buch anan will beat beth
Fillmore and Fremont there, handsomely; an
event on which We had previously made no
calculation as an element of Buchanan's
strength necessary to his election.
Capt. tally Done.-We borrow the following
good 'un from the inevitable wag Of the Bos-
ton Post:
"THE LAST COURAGE" IN KANsAs-A
DAMNING DEED.-We are informed that the
Kew. -, of Chicago, has received from
correspondent in Kansas the full particulars
of one of those fepdish outrages which are the
natural result of the repeal Of the sacred COM
pact of 1920. He will detail them all before
his congregation next Sabbath, or the first op-
Portunity. We are only permitted simply to
state. that a few days since number of Mis-
souri, ruffians entered the house of Free-State
man residing on POttawattamie creek, and
stole two hogs. Pierce, Douglas and Buc-
hanan stood by with their hands in their
pockets! Breckenridge and Richardson we're
not present ut the time, but coming up soon
after fully endorsed the deed -, and subse-
9uently ate part Of the pork Isthere north!
If there is, why don't it subscribe for free
dom?'
The District.-This is the day set apart by
the House for the consideration of District of
Columbia business. Our fellow-citizens are
all duly thankful for the small boon of a sim
gle day so dedicated, though the House could,
well indeed for the public interest, devote
week to the affairs of the District of Columbia
legitimately coming before them. We can
only hope and pray that their deliberations
and action throughout the day may be guided
by an enlightened public spirit.
West Point.-We publish to-day, entire,
the report of the Board of Visitors of the
West Point Academy, than which no other in
stitution for instruction is of more importance
to the whole country. The eyes of the Amer
lean public should be constantly on it, and we
therefore insert this report by way of doing
our share to spread before the country reliable
information concerning it. 1t is now Justly
the country's pride, and we trust that it may
long continue so to be.
The Frederick QMd } Democratic Meeting
to come off on Thursday next-will be attend
ed by some of the ablest Democratic popular
orators in Congress. Great preparations for
it ere being made, and an immense throng
will doubtless be present.
