DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
Boh0ld the Change.

The fact is patent that there is not .
single Democratic paper within our
knowledge which does not support the
President in his late action in the FIRE.
mont proclamation case. 1t is also plain
to be seen that there is not Republican
paper, except one here and there Of the
more decent, conservative school, that
does not sustain Gen. Fremont, and
denounce the acts OF the President.
What q change The time which
we predicted would come, has arrived.
If the Republicans persist in the stand
they have taken in this matter, it is
clear that Mr.. Lincoln will have to look
to the Democratic party tor adherents
and supporters. The declaration made
by tho Gazette few days since that all
such AZ do not endorse Fremont's proc
lamation, land per consequence, de-
nounce the President,) will do to be
watched" shows how it stands on the
question. It abaDdons the President to
his fate, and picks up Fremont as the
man worthy Of it's highest alteration.
Regardless OF the law which the Presi-
dent points out, regardless Of the action
Of the Cabinet, regardless of every safe
guard, it pitches in for Fremont. So do
the Germans. Almost to q man, they
applaud the course OF Fremont, and de-
nonncc the interference" Of Mr.. Lin
coin, as an outrage, and as thing nei-
Their to be countenanced or supported.
Really, great changes arc being wrought.
Democrats cannot fail to see the path
Of duty, nor will they fail to walk in it.
Tho President must be supported in all
legal and constitutional acts, and no.
where will fealty be found stronger OF
more hearty than among the Democ-
racy.

Dissolution of PARTNERSHIP.

The co.partncrship heretofore exist.
ing between the Germans of this Coun-
ty and the Republican party, has been
dissoIvcd-not exactly by mutual con-
sent" but by the withdrawal Of the
'psrty Of the first part" The business
Of the old concern will be settled, as
far as possible, by the American Repub-
licans. who prefer to take this course
rather than make an assignment.
This act took place formally and with
due consideration, at an immense Ger.
man Mass Meeting held at Lahrmann's
Hall, on Thursday afternoon. Though
the reasons for this casting off arc not
set forth in the official proceedings, we
have been informed by those in the Sc
cret, that the true reason set forth, is
the abandonment Of principle by the
American Republicans. 1t is charged
W the Germans, that their late partners
have become entirely demoralized ); that
they have become blind to the highest
interests of the country, and have be.
come combination Of corrupt Office
seekers, LISTING after the flesh pots, seek
ers after the loaves and fishes of office
totally disregard,ng the claims Of their
co-partners. The charges preferred are
TOO true; and the concern has "bust up."
The Germans claim that in this county
they have one thousand votes, which,
heretofore, they have given in to sus-
tain the Republican party, but which
they can give no longer. To-day the
boilers will meet and form part Of the
Union Convention at the Court House
II there is harmony in the action Of tha,
Conventiv,<will be the foundation Of .
strong party, so far as this County j,
concerned. There is no use TO attempt
to conceal that fact. "Under existing
circumstances" the Germans continu,
their connection with the old firm to tn,
extent Of voting for the Republican
State ticket, but no farther.
The thing has been done; the scale,
have dropped from the eyes Of the Ger
man voters OF this county. They bav.

been held, used and bamboosled the,

C0ereop00dooee between J0eepn mott,
Of Kensaeky, and the rsesseens
Of the Unito1 steses.
From The Louisville Jeafnal. Sept. ILL.,
The subjoined correspondence speaks
Tor itself:
WASHINGTON, Sept. u, 1881.
Mr. DsA8 SrR IL hasten TO place in
your hands the enclosed correspondence
with the President of the United states.
The action which he has taken was f1rm
and decided, and must prove satisfactory
to the friends Of the Union in hentuc-
Ky.
The cot of Congress alluded to was .
necessity under the circumstances, and
was fully justified by the usages OF civil
lied warfare. The government has the
same right to conllscatc slaves engaged
ia digging trenches or mounting guns
for the rebels that it has to oon6scate
their arms when captured during the
progress Of the war but, having con6s-
Gated them, Congress goes no further.
Upon this law the President stands
firmly, and in doing SO, and in dissvow-
ing Gen. Fremont proclamation, he gives
another of the ever-multiplying proofs
that the war, which is one tor national
existence, does not seek TO extinguish
or interfere with slavery ~ established
in the States. If this institution suffers
detriment from the events or issues OF
the rebellion, the blow will come from
those who, under the pretence of dc.
Tending it, are striking at the life Of
government under whose constitution it
has enjoyed complete shelter and pro-
lection for three quarters of century.
The occupation Of Columbus by arm
ed Tennessceans, under the leadership
Of Bishop Polk and Pillow, has excited
no surprise here, where the unscIupu-
Ious character and ultimate aims Of the
rebel chieftains are we'll understood. So
long as Kentucky maintained that most
illusory of all ttitudes-neutrality-and
carefully guarded an extended and ex-
posed portion Of the frontier Of the
rebel government in word, so long as
che subserved the purposes of the con-
spirators seeking tho overthrow OF the
1tepuDllc, ana gave reason 10 nope tn8t
she would finally unite her fortunes with
them, she was graciously let alone. So
soon, however, a. sho declared her 10y
atty to q government to which she is in
debted for all her prosperity, and to
which she is united by the most solemn
ties of duty, Of affection, and Of interest,
her soil is ruthlcssly invaded, and, under
the guidance Of traitors in her own bos-
ON, her vote at the polls is now to be re-
vcrsed by the bayonets Of Tennesseans,
and the proud old Commonwealth re-
luccd to the condition Of conquered
province Of that political Pandemonium
called the Southern Confederacy.
Those who have read her history and
know the spirit Of her people can have
no fears as to the audacious assault upon
her honor and independence. The gov
eminent here will give all possible sup
port to the State at the earliest moment
practicable.
Very sincerely yours,
| J. Holt.

THE country needs now generals like
the first Napoleon and our own McClel-
Ian, who live in the camp with their
soldiers-who know the wants of each
person under their command and will
attend to them-gcnerals who prefer
tho "tented field" to the Office and par.
lor-the rough grasp of the soldiers
hand to audience chambers and ceremo-
NOUS receptions through aides de camp,
generals who, amid all their avocations,
can find time to make their armies feel
that they are their fathers and friends,
and will do all, endure all, which they
command the humblest private to do.
Under such generals our columns will
be invincible-without them conquered
in every fight.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL.
DEAR SIR.-The late act of Congress
providing for the confscation of tho cs-
tatcs Of persons in rebellion against the
Government was as necessary war
measure, accepted and fully approved
by the loyal men of the country. 1t linn
tied the penalty of confiscation to prop
erty actually employed in the service OF
the rebellion with the knowledge and
consent Of its owners, and, instead of
emancipating slaves thus employed, left
their status to be determined either by
the courts Of the United States, or by
subsequent legislation. The proclama-
ton, however, of Gen. Fremont, under
date Of the 3Oth Of August, transcouds
and Of course violates the law in both
these particulars, and declares that the
property of rebels, whether used in sup.
port of the rebellion or not, shall be con-
tiscated; and. if consisting in slaves, that
they shall be at once manumitted. The
act Of Congress referred to was believed
TO embody the conservative policy OF
your administration upon this delicate
and perplexing question, and hence the
loyal men of the border slave States
have felt relieved Of all fears Of any at
tempt on the part Of the Government OF
the United States to liberate suddenly
IN their midst population unprepared
for freedom, and whose presence could
not fail to prove cause Of apprehension
if not of terror to the homes and fami-
lies Of all, You may therefore we'll Judge

which the Union-loviug citizens of Ken.

myself, that this paper was issued under

Gen. Fremont believed justified the step

WORDS OF PATRIOTISM.

An earnest Union Meeting has been
held in Buffalo, which was made up
of men of all former political distinc-
tions. Ex.President Fillmore was.pres-
ent and spoke as follows:
My fellow citizens, this is no time
for any man to shrink from the re.
sponsibility which events have cast
upon him. We have reached crisis
in the history of this country when no
man, however humble his rank or
limited his influence, has a right to
stand neutral. Civil war has been
inaugurated, and we must meet it.
Our government calls for aid, and we
must give it. Our Constitution is in
danger, and we must defend it, 1t is
no time now to inquire by whose fault
or folly this state Of things has been
produced. The ship Of state is in the
breakers, and the muttering thunder
and darkened sky indicate the coming
storm, and if she sinks we must 60
down with her. We have a common
lot and must meet common fate.
Let every man, therefore, stand to his
post, and like the Roman sentinel at
the gate of Pompeii, let posterity,
when the alarm is over, find our skel-
cton and armor on the spot where
duty required US to stand.
Hon. G. w. Clinton, son of De Witt
Clinton, followed Ex-President Fill
more in an eloquent speech. The
Buffalo Express says:
Fairly trembling with agitation and
excitement as he spoke, the Judge
vehemently exclaimed Don't talk to
me, as a Democrat, about what the
Republican party has done to bring
about the condition in which the coun-
try is placed scorn and trample
upon the reflection. l can only con-
slider that every thing which is sacred
to Americans, except their religion, is
in jeopardy; that the most glorious
structure of government that human
art, sanctified by divine inspiration
and guidance, ever erected, is threat
cned with destruction. 1t is not
Abraham Lincoln-it is not the Re-
publican Administration that stands
in peril aud demands support but it
is the government that Washington
organized against which the hand of
treason and rebellion is raised. 1t
were better, said the speaker, in con-
GLIDING his brief but stirring address,
that the whole South should be driven
into the Gulf of Mexico, than that one
jot or title of that holy instrument
the Constitution of the United States
should be impaired in its sacred obi
cations and authority.
