 GF We copy this morning, says the Louis vile Times, an article from the Cincinnati Con- mercal, of Wednesday, upon the Kentucky y election. Our readers can gather from 1t the views of northern papers of the respective po- sitions of the democratic and Know Nothing parties of the south. The Commercial utters nothing more than the truth when it calls the Fillmore party d bogus pro-savery party.''- It's pretended zeal in behalf of the rights of the south IS all sham, its sympathes are with the opponents of slavery, and its attitude is an unnatural one The leaders of Know Noth- ingism in Kentucky and other southern Stat es J.u ci Il.
 nion, when the south has anything to give trai- tors to the south whenever there are spells to reward the treason. The whipping which the democracy, aided by their recruits from the old whig party, gave to this bogus and uIstart con- ccrn on Monday is but ioretaste of what we intend to do in November Kentucky in. tends to be the banner democratic State in the Union.

 To d man not totally stultfcd by the heat ol party warfare, 1t would seem perfectly demon- strable that the hope which the Fillmore men have entertained of gaining the State of K 3n. lucky, and thereby carrying the Presidential election into the house, Is baseless The re- turns of the election of Monday tell story that It Is idle to disregard. A party press may make very lngenOuS essays to explain away the catastrophe, and editors give most excellent reasons why 1t Is 1t is; but experience has often taught that their eforts in that behalf, however brilliant are of too slight materials to form the basis of future operations The truth Is, that, in ethe most reliable Fillmore State in the Union, the Fillmore party has re- cclved what IS to all intents and purposes, a death-blow toit prospects. The elaborate and sham displays of enthusiasm with which it has been endeavorlng to deceive itself and the world have not answered the purpose. Know Nothingism has dropped before the superior visor of combined whiggery and democracy and the new pro-slavery organization, in spite ot Its desperate attempt to cut under in subser- vlancy to the slave interest, has given way be- meath the pressure of the old The whig- democracy-beng the slave propretary-con- stltutes the true slave conservatism. The mas ter body prefers to lead the party that is based upon the master interest; and with great pro. priety it rejects and puts down that pretended and over done conservatism, which has no foundation but in the appetite of demagogues anu SIiecI ColHei PollticlaiiS, TOT pOWer once and ndimportance.

 Mir. Calhoun, whose notions of public econo- my were based upon the social condition of the only people of which he had any knowledge when he talked about adjusting the relations between capital and labor, merely meant that the former was to be the governing and the latter the governed party. What Mr. Calhoun held should be true, the peculiar condition o society consequent upon the existence of sla- very, makes to be so. Whenever the master
 interest acts as an unit, it is the controlling in- terest, and this is the case in Kentucky, where slaves are comparatively few, and non- slave holders numerous, as we'll as in South Carolina where the proportions of the two classes are reversed The basis of the Know Nothing party in Kentucky, is in those who, not hold ing slaves, had no atural sympathy with sla-
