Political Items

aoout to be tried, are, on our part, the princi. pl's of the principles which ger minated with the embarkation of the pilorims which found development at Lexington Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown-in the declaration ot independence, and finally in the formal adoption of our glorious constitution lie who Will not maintain them is a faithess and degenerate son-he who would put forth ms ms hand 10 subvert them, is thrice parricide. hese prlnclpies have brought our country to us present distinguished eminence among the nations of the earth. These principles, if per petuated, will, in spite of the wiles of the de- maSogue, or the howls of fanaticism, give to our chlIdrens children, through all coming '''iie' the oiesSngs of treedom happiness and peace"

 KENTUCKY ALL O. Kits as good as feast to see the signs in that whilom firm whig cita- del, old Kentucky. The Louisville Times says that the State is safe for Buck and Breck; while the Louisville Courier, whig has the fol- lowing:-
 eff the election were held to-day, Bucha- mans majority in Kentucky would probably reach ten thousand; but when the fact becomes as It will, more and more clear that Buchanan Is the only chance to defeat Fremont, there will, We predict, be general stampede and we shall not be surprised if his majority in Ken lucky reaches double or treble, or even quadru- pie that number. We speak seriously deduc- ing effect from cause"
 That's loud one
 COMPREHENSIVE TRUTH.-John Heiner. a leading Ohio freesoiler who voted for the two last Presidential elections against the democra- tlc party, now writes of 1t:

Look out for some new card. The only thing that can minister to s.the diseased reesoil cause is a fresh batch of murders burnings, brols- new rebelion--somethng to stir with-any- thing horrible.
