SAB CONDITION oF AFFAIRS IN
KENTUCKY.
We fear, from ali We can learn, that
the "Union2 majority Of over fifty thousand
given in the recent Kentucky election, means
something more than an Endorsement of the
neutrality policy heretofore enunciated by that
State. A gentleman whom we saw yesterday,
who had been soiourning for several days past
insome of the southern counties, gives a very
sad description Of the condition Of political
affairs in that section. He represents the
feeling as being very bitter between the
southern rights men and the unionists-the
latter being largely predominant, and openly
avowing, in most instances, their sympathy
for tie cause Of the Washington administra-
tien in the present conflict. Military compa-
MES are being formed throughout the State By
both parties, under tie designation Of the
estate GuaTds' and the "Homen OF "Union
% Guards" These organizations are filling up
every day, each with men whose political
opinions accord with the respective objects Of
their formation. Such is the uncertain and
excited state of public sentiment that intelli
gent men confidently predict a civil war upon
the soil Of Kentucky between her own citizens,
in case Of the happening Of any eyentuality
that has a tendency to render mutual intol-
erance more depp-seated OF v~irulsnt.
LIECoLN's late message is said TO have met
pretty generally with the cordial Endorsement
Of the Uni0nists, whose anim3sity toward the
South continues to increase with the proseeu
ton Of the war, under the auspices Of such
f~sgitious and reasonable teachings as are
promulged through the columns Of the Louis
vile Journal, and other kindred abolition
sheets. Som Of the wUalthiest SHAREHOLDERS
il the Stste-sFange to say-number among
the ranks OF these siders and abettors Of the
sboIitionis's.
Other report s received from different sources
coTroborate the above, all Of which iustifes
us in repeating what we have all along main
tained-t5at Kentucky must be redeemed from
her thraldam by hard fighting with southern
baYonets, such as is now progressing in the
gallant yet unfortunate and downtrodden State
CT Missouri.
