The speech made by the Emperor produced

French Government, which has been the
means of restoring the Pope to the ponti-
fcal throne, would only give such respectful
counssls as were directed by it's sincere dsvo-

could not be alarmed about the day which

and perhaps as profitable, to let others pro-
claim ones good qualities; be reminded him
that plantation manners were out OF place,
and not alarming, ridiculous rather, in this
part OF the world; be reproached and r.
proved him for the arrogant and shameful
manner in which he had misrepresented tAe
principles and motives, and abused the mem
bers, Of the Republican party; he vindicated
the dignity Of labor, and the nobility OF la
borers he alluded to the newborn love for
Henry Clay on the part of those men who
vilifed and traduced him when alive, who,
in one breath Landed to the skies the author
of the Missouri Compromise, while with the
next they denounced that measure as uncon-
stitutional and infamous; to show the mser-
able farce and humbuggery Of popular SOW
ercignty and the origin and authors Of slave
ry agitation, he produced the first Nebraska
bill introduced by Dodge, Of Iowa, in '53,
which recognised fully the power of Con-
gress to legislate for the Territories, and did
NOT repeal the Missouri Compromise, on the
strength Of which he charged Dodge as THE
man, one Of the chief of the agitators, upon
whom, il upon any mortal man, rested the
responsibility of the present agitation and
alienation of one portion of the American
family from another; and then he treated of
Disunion, the Homestead, and other ques-
tons involved in the canvass, and vindica-
ting triumphantly the Republican parto from
all charges made against it and carried the
war into Africa, in q manner both amusing
and perfectly conclusive.

Kentucky Election.

We have nothing from Kentucky indicating
any change from the statement in our yes
days Issue. The Cincinnati Enquirer est-
mates Magof6n's majority for Governor at
1000, which may be exaggerated. The Dem
ocratic papers in Louisville notice with some
surprise stampede Of the German voters to
the ranks OF the Opposition. The Demo
crat ascribes it wholly to their fear of o
mobbipg in case they attempted to vote the
Democratic ticket. This explanation how
ever, makes no provision for the simpler ex
pedient OF staying at home and not voting
at all, by which the terrified Germans would
at the same time have escaped violence and
avoided swelling the vote of their enemies
The Courier gives variety OF reasons for
the loss Of this vote, which will be found
