DIsTRIBrTION IN KENTrCKy.

We learn from our Kentucky exchanges that
Know Nothingism in Kentucky also, has concluded
to make a hobby of the old hackneyed theme of
distribution, BY way Of diverting attention from
their oaths aud their ritual They are pursuing
identically The -ame course adopted in Tennessee,
as will be seen from the following extract iron the
Frankfort Ks0maa
This hobby is ridden in various styles by the 7ari
ours K. n candidates. Roger Hanson uses it for
building railroads He has constructed railroad
running by every mans door in the district, SO inr
as he has canvassed it over We expect when he
comes to this place. he viii lock and damn the Ken
lucky river Anderson in the fourth district, where
internal improvements are not popular, .'educltes
all their poor children with the proceeds o. the
sales Of the public lands" Cox, in the ninth dis
trict uses the surplus treasure for the purchase
Of silk dresses for The girls. Humphrey Marshall,
believe, intends 10 apply his share of such pro-
eeeds to the purchase OF Urass kuuckes for The Plug
Uglies Of Louisville. And so ON 10 the end Of the
chapter; each candidate having Z pei scheme Of bis
own adapted 10 his locality.
We suggest that The know n0things Of Kentucky
place their share Of the proceeds" 10 the credit Of
the Grand Council" According 10 Blaut0n Dun
can, that piOu institution is very much 90 debt, an
should be remembered IN the division Of the
'spiles.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES PAST AND TO COME

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES PAST AND TO COME
We copy the following spirited and suggestive no
tee from the Albany alias and Argus:
John Randolph Tucker, Democrat, is elected
Attorney General Of Virginia by an overwhelming
majority $1,000.
'The Black Republican papers, and the Geographic
organization controlled by them, have suppressed
tins great fact in the recent election; and it reaches
IL tlrdlly through the local Iress.
Its a glorious result, and one Of which every
Vrginian may be proud.
Last fall she gave %, 54S majority for Buchanan
and there seemed no margin to gain further victories
yet she has nearly doubled the figures Of last fall,
ami shows a mljori y which must exceed the aggre-
gate vote of the opposition!
'.Penusy lvsnia is in the field with its candidates
and the Democrats Of that State pledge themselves
10 q majority Of 10000 also; and they will redeem
the pledge! Yet Pennsylvania had only majority
of l,U24 over his combined opposition, and they
count upon this gain despite Of the coalition Of
Of blacks and Know Mornings on Wilmot.
''Se much for the old Keystone State: 80 much for
the Uld Dominion Now, what Of the Empire Stale,
which SO often glOriOusly led the van Of the
Democratic column?
I've have victories in the Northwest. Iowa and
Minnesota are redeemed. We have substantially
carried Connecticut against the opposition And is
New York to remain isolated from the West and
South; cut off from the sympathies of the Union,
and penned within the confines Of pretty prOscrip
tive and sectional party?
"Let the Democrats Of New York ponder this
question for while and see how they nre TO answer
II by deeds in the contest of next fsll?"

We publish, for the ediieauOn and amusement Of
our readers the grave declaration OF he Know

forth tie policy Of the party poorer in granting large
quantities Of The public domain TO the new States Il

''RssOlUsa That all the States Of the Union are
entitled to participation in the public bounty; and
that the policy Of the party in power by which the
public lands appropriated in large quantities for
the benefit Of particular States is uhjst unequal and
injurious to the old States, and ought not 10 be
tolerated"
The largest grant Of land recently made by Con-
gress the grant Of laud lnear million OF acres)

vote on the final passage Of the bill in the u. 5.

PRocURABILITY OF EvIDEECE.-AproposOf Of the large
rewards offered by some of the New York press for
the discovery Of the murderer Of late Dr. Burdell,
the New Yorker says ''there can now be no doubt
of the conviction Of somebody, guilty or innocent"
The editor adds:
eve understand the District Attorney had the
profFer of testimony, from several sources, which
would eOncusively establish the guilt Of Mrs. Gun
min CHAM. but investigation it proved 70 be utterly
unreliable. On one occasion, the great agitstor,
Daniel 0'Connsll, shot a worthless horse and then
advertised $500 reward fer the discovery Of the per
peirdtor. In the course Of few days the reward
was claimed by arty. who produced proof against
man. OF 30 direct and conclusive kind that there
would have been doubt Of his conviction, had not

MORE MOB VIOLENCE IN LOUISVILLE.
We had hoped that we had announced the last
outrage upon free suffrage in this city, but It seems
that We were altogether too sanguine and cOn6ded
too fOndly in vain hopes. We make the eoiession
in shame, but the facts force the confessions That
the sanciity Of judicial election Is no protection
against laWlessness and outrage upon the oalot-boX
IN this city. The Outrages Of which we complain
were initiated and consummated az the lower pre-
cinct Of the First ward polls. When it was appa-
rent at an early hour Of the day, that the friends
OF Mr.. Joshua f. Bulht. the Independent candidate
for Appellate Judge were voting in any considers
bic numbers, il was determined that some move
ment should be made to deter them from exercising
the right Of freemen, and 10 that end two three
Bulli't men were Want0nly assailed and driven frum
the pOll-
late hour in the afternoon, however was the
eliminating period OF the outrage when Mr. John
StrasbuTg very worthy gentleman, and for many
years an employee in the city post Office presented
himself at the door Of the engue-house for admis-
sion to vote. A Know Nothing bully here inter-
posed, making an insulting objection his entrance
Col. William Preston, Joshua Bullut, and other
gentlemen, who were eognizant Of the applicants
right 70 VOTE insise ed that he should he admitted
This was the signal for an abusive attack upon Mr.
Preston and his friends which led 10 a display Of
arms By beth parties. Fortunately for each, per-
haps-but dOuby fortunate for the bullies who bad
been Obstructng the entrance TO the ballohOx, the
disturbance was quelled without the shedding Of
blood.
It may be said, in honor Of Col. Preston, Er.
BullitT, and few gallant men who surrounded them
upon that occasion, that hey made the hrst noble
stand for free suffrage in this city since the terrible
and disgracefUl mob Of August 1856. Although
overpoWered in numbers by the hirehngs who tho
| 10 awe them from The discharge Of their duty as
| freemen they asserted their rights and stood by
them like men, as they we're prompted by high and
manly motives.

The undergigaedi acting ID lie eRra6ily Of hdH-
lual frehds q Gen Isham G. harris and Col Rob't
IattOn, after having fully canvasssd between thsm-
selves the circumstances originating and attending
the unpleasant personal difficulty that occurred du-
ring their discussion at Fayetteville on the 18th
inst, are satisfied that it resulted from mutual
misunderstanding between the papties-that each
acted upon miseonoeption Of the Language and IN
tentiOn Of the other and that therefore both have
occasion 10 regret he unpleasant altercailon that
took place.
The friends Of Col Hatton understand him to
have declared, 'That the doctrine that the alien,
the unnaturalized man from the old world who has
no claims upon our country, no rights here. shall
come to our country and rule and govern it, Is an
Infamous doctrine, iniquity that smells to hea-
ven and that when Gen. Harris enquired whether
he intended 10 apply such language to him, after a
short colloquy he repeated nearly the same decara-
ton, that the doctrine was infamous, and ..rhat
those who advocated it, advocated doctrine that
is Infamous and smells to heaven"
The friends of Gen Harris understood Col. Hat
ton assuming that Gen. Harris favored the Dolie
Of allowing an unnaturalized foreigner to vote in
Tennessee for members Of Congress, &C., and that
this Pc icy he denounced as infamous, that 1t was
rank and smelt to heven," &c. Gen Harris then
asked Col IIatton If he intended to apply the term
% infamous to him. His answer was, Do you
expect to intimidate me by csming forward and ask
ing his question r. Gen. Harris answered, By nc
means do not wish to intimid tie any gentleman.
but l have right to know whether you apply Il ,
term Infamous to me or not" To which Col Hattor
