KentuckY-Chseriur news.

We continue to receive the most cheering news
from Kentucky. Our friends there are now conf
dent of carrying the State. They represent the ut
most activity, enthusiasm and energy as existing in
the ranks of the State Rights Democracy We have
dismissed our apprehensons about that glorious
commonwealth, and now feel safe in assuring our
friends that the home of BaECKNRIDGE will do her
whole duty This will be cheering and glorious
news and will strike into the hearts of all who
are opposing "the Union Of the South for thesake of
the whole Union" Every Democrat that we
meet from Kentucky confirms in his language, his
countenance his enthusiasm and his assurances these
glorious tidings. 1t win be remembered that the
only circumstance, the disruption of the Demo
cratic party at Baltimore, that has encour-
aged the BEI-EvERETT's in the canvass has
been the local elections in Kentucky. We
then told friends that this election was
no true test of the strength of our opponents.
The news we daily receive confirms US in this
opinion We yesterday received the following tele-
graphic despatch dated 22d inst, fully corrooorat-
ing the statements of our Kentucky friends. 1t is
from one of the bestposted politicians the Union
who enjoys the amplest opportunities for informa-
| ton
"Great changes going on in Kentucky. Leaders
and masses going over from Douglas and Bell to
Breckinridge Yancey every where taking the
peope with him-speaks IN Lexington to-day-ln
| Louisville tomorrow.
! Eaton Powell, Burnett, Clay, Sims, Stephenson,
Marshall and hosts of eloquent and determined men
in the :hckest of fight, raying all the counties IN
the war CRY of the Constitution and the Equality OF
the States Breckenridge will surely carry Kentucky
TIL ere is but little doubt of Missouri. We shall
have a united South"
We notice in the Louisville Journal, of yesterday,
the following significant paragraph, which indicates
corresponding indifference among the BELLrEEvE-
ETTs in some portions of Kentucky:
1--WE regret very much to learn that there is an
apathy upon the part of our friends in some OF our
| strongest counties. This is what has encouraged
| the Breckenridge men so much Of late. They know
that we have large majority in the State, but
they calculate to bring their well drilled minority
all into the field and thus win victory from Us
| through our own negligence. We have hoped fol-
| great things in Logan, the banner county, but we
! hear our friends in that quarter are wonderfully
inactive Stir them up, Mr.. Rhea !"
While our opponents thus reluctantly confess
ing the inactivity of their friends, for the purpose
of arousing them to greater exertions, our friends
are iubilant. working active and determined on
glorious victory.
| Let Tennessee Democrats emulate the noble eX
annie of their Kentucky brothers, all over tn
State and the most important, signal and gloriou
victory awaits us ever achieved in election annals
a victory that will secure to our posterity the bless
inps of Constitutional Union the safety, honor anc
prosperity of the South and Equality of the State
in this confederacy.
