....- KENTECKY ELECTloN.
. It is oonceisd on ali Isidos that Leslie
Combs Bslleye1ott candidate for Clerk Of the
Court Of Appeals, has carried Kentucky-are.:
sult due in part to Mr, Combs great personal
popularity, the non.pa-tisan chara acter Of the
Office for which lie was running, ind in part
also to tie recent very deplorable and ere1.io-
be,lamented split in the DemoctaIiq party. As
in the North Carolinn election, VIC have al op-
portunity to estimate Douglas s.seh hgth in the
south--the basis Of the estimate bling figures
which will not lie. We have not Jet got The
exnos returns; bu: from those at hand It is
plain that Douglas made but = poor figure IN
tbs canvass. His friends had-a candidate Of
their own-D ellington whom they generally
votsd; but the support given him lis 50 irsig-

published returns. In Louisville, Douglas

SECRET FOEs.
The SUCCESS Of the Republican marty in the
present canrass, if not an assured fact. may a,
least bo said 10 be as morally ccrlain as any
future event can 10 considered Tie india
tio=s Of triumph fr,m every quarter where the
contest is waeed. assume nore and more tbs
uap:c: Of demonstration, and it ", ul1 seem as
though nothing eiors OF miracle can chsnge
ths promised result. Each Of ths divisions
into which its opponents are atrayed has
abandoned a1l hope Ct sucoess before the peo-
pie, and their whole system Of tactics has
been changed from an open and manly strug-
gle for supremacy, into back.parlor warfare
where the leaders Of the factions mees to COT
COO: and perfect schemes for The transfer
Of votes from one sido to The other,
with. the hope; Of preventing an election
by tie people, aad thus turn over the whole
matter Of presidentmakipg to the trading
politicians who will assemble at Washington
NEXT winter. But even this mode Of warfare
promises but little to those who engags in it.
The will Of the people is becoming so pro.
nounced in fayor Of tho doctrines Of Ropuhli-
sanisn and Of its gallant s!andard-beaser--so
compact and earnest arc tie masses Of whom,
those doctrines and that lender ere the repre.
seatatives-so confident in the righteousness
Of their cause and Of glorious triumph over
either divided or IN united opposition-that
all the scheming and plotting Of the politicians
bid fair to come to nought before the majesty
Of q patriotic and uupurcaasab1e people.
But while all the omens are thus auspicious,
it will be well for Republicans to be constantly
On their guard; Ecrutnizipg carefully the pro
oeedirga Of their open enemies rs well as tue
conduct Of pretended but insince1e friends
or these latter thers are two classes Of romi-
mi Republicans who require close watching,
il order that their unscrupnlous endeayors to
make mischief may be rendered compara-
lively harmless. They may be described
thus:
