there shall be no party strife at the polls, let
them support the democratic candidates, if
they are honest, capable, and faithful to the
constitution. We ask support from none
other.
From the Detroit Free Press, Aug. II.
The answer Of the New York Democratic
State Central Committee to the invitation of
the republican committee to abandon all pres
ent political organizations states the true
position Of the democracy of the whole country
1t is impossible to coalosse with the abolition
wing of that party without abandoning our
principles, without abandoning the only ground
of hope that this contest can ever be brought
to successful termination, and maintain the
integrity of the Union. 1t is not surprising
that this response was unpalatable to the ex-
treme men of the republicans, but we believe
it will be commended by majority of the pee
pie. The country has paid the bitter price of
indulging in fanaticism, and has learned lesson
it is not likely to forget very speedily.

TIE PoYY EXPRESS RIDER.-The Grass
Valley National has the following about the
Pony rider on the plains:
Each rider is in possession of and has the
absolute control over the horses on his beat,
and all the trappings thereto. He has them
kept in the best of order by the men at the
stations generally two in NUMBER. He said
that he could tell within a few minutes of the
time when the Pony would be at his end of the
route, so that 10 delay might take place in
the changing of riders, although as general
thing the rider on an approaching Pony blows
horn when about three quarters of mile
distant, so that all may be in readiness for him
at his arrival. Each rider is provided with a
complete buckskn suit of clothes with the hair
on and forming the outside of the same, so that
in the event of storm, the rain or snow will
not penetrate or make the clothes heavy and
thus retard the horse but it runs off down the
hair, which is more or less oily. The pockets
for the conveyance of the letters etc., are four
in number and are placed Immediately under
the saddle horn next to the horse. Four eight
inch six shooting Colts are so arranged as to
be half cooked, so that with the impression on
the hammers they are ready for their deadliest
work. These and knife of some eigteen
enches in length, with mercury in tube form
ed in the back of the same, so that when used
the mercury rushes to the point of the blade
and no doubt would deal terrible blow, con-
stitute the riders means of defense. About
one hundred miles is the distance travelled by
each rider He is allowed only eleven hours
to do it in and as much sooner as possible
therefore each rider has four hundred miles to
ride every week in the short space of forty
hours? The horses used are a Spanish breed,
and kept in good ORDER the riders and men at
stations receive their pay (which is good at
the end of every month, and are furnished with
provisions by the company at reasonable
rate

half of this State is not only naturally but orfhe0ay

best to get Kentucky out of the Union. No better
way, they reasonably think could be adopted than to
bring on conHi upon the sacred soi and they hope
that il il should be begun they will be likely to
succeed. Whether they can do more than bring dis

as they have done in Missouri, will be deciied this
week by the Kentucky Legislature now in session.
Perhaps their original design to seize Paducah,
which, properly speaking, is at the mouths Of the
Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, but finding us in
force at this place they hope by pretending an attack
on Cairo to get US to withdraw forces from Padu-
