W A5IIINGION ClII, OCt. y.
Judge BowIin today had a long in
teryiew with Secretary Cas5 On the
subject Of the mission to Paraguay.
He will, tomorrow, receive his IN
struction3, the prominent features Of
which are, that President Lopez be
reQmrcd-to make an apology for the
insult to our flag; to make reparation
to those citizens Of the United States
who were driven out Of that country;
and to acknowledge his obligation to
satisfy other demands for redress, the
amount Of indemnity to be ascertainod
probably through a Board OF Com
mlssioners; that a Commercial treaty
be negotiated, and some guaranty OBJ
tained for the opening OF La Platte
ana it8 tributaries, by the removal Of
the restrictions of trade in these wat
er8. Only one vessel, the Fulton,
carrying the Commissioner, will, at
first proceed to Assumption; should
he succeed in his objects, he will forth
with return to Washington, bringing
with him the Convention, but in the
event of an entire failure he will d.
rect Commodore Shubrick to send up
the fleet, and with it to carry out the
distinctly defined policy of the Ad,
ministration. The fleet will, after it;
business in Paraguay, show itself il

Kpow yotbinr TecbnicaIities,

The same technical enforcement of the electoral
laws by which the Know Nothing judges in Louis
vile sought to defeat the popular will in the seleo
ton Of aier, by issuing the certificate of election
to Thomas instead of to Bstman, would secure all
the city Offices in Lexington to the Democratic can
didates. There was but one precinct in FaYette
county in which the election legally conducted,
and it so happens in that (the 9TH district city of
Lexngon) the Democratic candidates for city judge,
clerk of the city court, and city marshal received
majority of votes. Hence if the polls of the remain
ing precincts be rejected illegal, for which there
is quite much, and more, than for the re-
lection of the unsigned pages of the Louisville poll
books, Thomas, Wood and Foushee will be left with
q clear majority over their competitors.
We are gTatified to know, however, that there is
not q Democrat our ticket who would hold an
Office so obtained. Not one of them would have an
office in the face Of majority of the voters of the
city, nor one who would, to promote his own personal
interests attempt to disfranehise large body of his
fellow citizens. The people have spoken, and it
becomes Democrats to submit like men, and not re-
sort to triokery and kUsVery to obtain Office. 1t is
the part Of Know Nothingism to gain its triumphs
by violence, fraud, and bubbles. Like the drown
ing man. the PROSTATE faction grssps at every straw
which floats by. Their end is at hand.-Ler. States

We welcome our old friend but new correspondent
K, to our columns. We should be glad to hear from
him frequently.
GARRETTsBURG, KY, Aug. 10.
G. PoINDExTER, ESQ Believing that you and
the citizens of your State feel an interest in the
affairs of ours, shall offer no apology for this
letter.
We have just passed through most exciting and
important election the result of which should thrill
with pleasure the bosom of every sincere lover This
country the result of which has shown to the world
clearly and Enthusiastically, that Kentucky, the
gallant State of Kentucky is true to herself true to
the South, true to the Constitution, true to the
Union, and cannot be led astray even by her once
favorite son, JOHN Judas CRITrESDEE. You may
therefore hence forward and forever set down Ken
lucky, not only ss Democratic State, but as one of
the truest and most reliable in the Union.
There can scarcely be doubt, that had Kentcky
by her recent vote sustained Mr.. CRITTENDEE in his
position upon the Kansas question, he would have
been the Black Republican and Know Nothing
candidate for the Presidency in 1860, but when his
Northern allies see that he can bring them no
strength from his own State and the South, they
will unceremoniously set him aside for some man of
if your man JOHA BELL could carry Tennessee he
might be the man. Can be do il =? Can you tell how
it happened that two such States as Kentucky and
Tennessee renowned the world for their patriot
ism and chvalry, should give to the nation two such
men as CRITTENDEE and BELL We're they born
traitors or they in their dOage 1t is said that
when men lose their senses no matter how, their
affections are perverted; and in their diseased i'm
aginations, friends become enemies, and enemies
friends For the sake Of humanity, for the sake of
Southern honor, for the reputation of our States
trust that such may prove to be the case. We could
then pity Them buff their inellees are unimpaired
and they have deliberately sold themselves, and
betrayed their generous and fdiug constituents
they richly merit las they viii received the scorn
and contempt of every honOrab lie man. and even the
few in the South who for political and selfish ends
and to vent their splene upon tie Democratic party
attempt to sustain them will in their heart of hearts
despise them. But "reqies can't in pace, which
means, they cant rest in peace.
Our corn crops are as fine as heart could wish and
the tobacco crop about an average one, but the
wheat was very indifferent, and oats a tOtal
failure. K.
