How AntA.Lccc compton Democrats are

~ ~ -" Nsssv~' - =
Thanked.
In the recent election in kentucky, the
Louisville Democrat, and the large body Of
Democrats in that State who approved the
course Of Douglas, supported tho regular
Democratic ticket, and only by their vigor-
Gus aid, probably, was it saved from utter
defeat. How this service is appreciated Mt
head quarters, will appear from the follow
ing extract, from the Washington Union of
Saturday:
"But the vote Of Kentucky is not merely
crushing blow to the aspirations OF Mr.. Crit.
tenden and the t'peope's party" movement,
in which he was engaged; il is also q terrible
rebuke TO Mr.. Douglas, who, at the time OF
the voting in Kentucky, was engaged IN lii
nois in extolling the Projections OF the Crit
| tenden bill, and in 'glorifying' the Ameri-
cans and Black Republicans who supported
it in Congress. The Illinois Senator had
succeeded by intrigue in seducing portion
Of the Kentucky Democracy from the support
Of the orthodox measures OF their party
Though enjoying the aid and comfort OF this
disappointed faction, the course OF himself
and Mr.. Crittenden has been emphatically
repualated by the people OF NehsuCAy, anu
the Critic nden bill, its heretofore cherished
author, its motley coalition Of supporters,
and lite apostase panegyrist have been repu-
dated by popular majority Of twelve thous-
and votes. Such is the verdict against Mr..
Douglas Of Southern State, among whose
Democracy he had been more popular, and
| ia which the circumstances conspiringto give
him favorable verdict we're far stronger,
than in any other State Of the South. The
vote Of Kentucky will teach Mr.. Douglas
that, however successful he may be in divi-
ding the Democratic party in portion OF
| the North, there is no quarter Of the South IN
which he can hope to be regarded in any 9th
or character than as disorganizer and an
apostate."
And yet, notwithstanding the Buchanan
Administration regard the election in Ken
lucky as just rebuke to the "disorganizer
and apostate" Douglas, the friends of Doug
| las here and elsewhere held triumphant ju-
bilees in celebration of the victory in Ken
lucky.

jec.ion Of the English proposition, Kansas'ts
to remain q territory until she has the re-
quisite population TO entitle her to repre-
sentative 10 Congress. This constituted the
compromise. Ifksnsas was not to come in
under the Lecompton Constitution as a
Slave State, the South was to be compensa-
ted by keeping her out as free State for an
indefinite number OF years.
Though the Douglas Democrats united
with the Republicans to defeat that kind OF
compromise, they now rejoice in the sue
cess Of its supporters, and pledge themselves
to acquiesce in and abide by the settlement
Of the question provided in the English COM
promise, which was that Kansas must DO q

A correspondent Of the Freeport Journal
gives the particulars OF o sad accident that
occurred at picnic OF the district school at
Lena on the 18th. He writes:
After dinner and the exercises which fol-
lowed it, the whole party, both grown people
and children, took general swing. They
had been engaged in this more than an hour,
when one Of the little girls went to sleep
The swing was allowed to stop, and one Of
the gentlemen was about to step forward to
take her off, when with q sudden crash the
branch broke, and fell so suddenly that no
one could reach it before it struck the ground.
One little girl, daughter OF Robert Foreman,
was killed instantly. A little daughter Of
james Foreman had her leg broken, % did a
little boy eight or nine years old, named
McGoon. Several others were slightly in
jured. At once the happy scene was changed
to one of confusion. The shrieks Of the in
jursd and cries Of the frightened strangely
contrasted with the happiness that reigned
but moment before. DR.. @. b. Wright was
on the ground at the time OF the accident and
did all 10 his power for the sufferers. nr. j.
X. Chambers, though living nearly half n
mile from the place, was there within ten
minutes after the occurrence. All that WINS
possible WAS done for the poor children, and
much honor is due to those who were present,
especially the ladies, for their attentions to
the comfort Of those who were injured.
ETMr. Buchanan wrote . letter to Mr..
English to help him procure nomination 10
| his district for re- election to Congress. Mr..
| English read that letter, or what purported
to be that letter, to the nominating conven.
ton, and it had it's effect. The editor Of the
New York Tribune published what he said
was the substance Of the letter. The New
Albany Ledger pronouces the Tribune's doc.
nment forgery, and the Democratic papers
cry out against it as a forgery, but none OF
the Democrats, though boldly and loudly de-
fed, dare undertake to prove the forgery by
the publication Of the genuine letter. They
fully admit the existence of that letter and
the fact Of its having been read by English
but they have not the courage to produce il
and let the world see what it really is. They
know we'll that whether it does or does no,
consist Of the precise words given in tht
| Tribune, it was such letter as a President
Of the United States could not, without ex
posing himself to deep shame and disgrace
write to partizan in contest for q Con
gressional nomination.
We advise all the Democratic organs Il
observe q death like silence upon the subjec
of the alleged forgery until they are pre-
pared to let mankind see what it was tina
their President actually wrote. II the gen
uine letter were less infamous than the forge
~ 90 called, it would have been Forthcoming
weeks and weeks ago. So, il the Presiden
didn't write exactly what the Tribune publish
cd, he wrote what was quite as bad-proba
bly, worse.--[Lou. Jour.
