The Gazette seems 10 entertain = saa
piciop, that BY proposing union OF oil
persons and parties in the selection OF 4
candidate to the Legislature, We desired
to have some Democrat receive the
nomination. This is sad mistake on
the part Of our neighbor. The Repab-
licans here have . large majority in the
county. They are entitled to the men,
Der, and we have never heard Demo-
crst express any other opinion than that
some Republican should be selected to
represent us. We did prefer, however,
that he should be nominated, not as q
party man, but BY the people, without
distinction Of party. We believe fur
Their that the Republicans will see cause
to repent their action in sdhering to
their old party forms and usages.
We are now forced 10 make a party
nomination, for which our paper, to-day,
contains q call.

TINE UNION QU&sTlON.
TIE rssponss made by tho 6asesls
Yesterday morning 70 or remarks Of the
previous day, concerning : union &C.
ton usdss ssstAia sentingsas;sa, MAS IN
nothing different from what We expect
ed. We had heard so much talk and
blarsey among Republicans about ignor-
ing party platforms and giving up party
lines, and all that, that We deemed It
necessary to bring the matter speedily
to . test, and elicit the precise intention
Of tie Republican leaders here. We
have been successful in the effort, and
now understand perfectly what our bet
ter judgment told Us was true before,
that 10 matters Of electing officers
where there is the least show for either
spoiIs or glory, psrty lines will be drawn
most tightly, and party platforms ad-
hered to with - much tcnacity a. here
tofore. Let those who have teen in
clned to the opinie n that there was any
possibility Of union Of parties, no lon
ger lay the 6atterlng JUNCTION to their
souls there is no such in the books.
The only union there can lie between
the two parties is this Union for the
defence OF our fag not union for the
elcct n of officers. We can conceive
the nobility Of striking hands for the
Union the Constitution and the enforce
ment Of the laws, but when it comes
down to electing y constable county
officer or q representative, we fail not to
discover the supreme propriety OF put
ting on a beligerent party front and 60
ing into the tray with colors flying and
political muskets charged up 10 the
muzzles. While great and formidable
issues which involve the honor Of our
flag require unity Of purpose, inferior
issues, involving only salaries and little
tat slices here aud there, call aloud tor
party antsgonism. While with one
hand we bear alott the Stars and
Stripes, the other is detailed to grasp
tightly party lines, and drive firecelv
party hacks while, with one hand we
present our united shields TO the com
mon enemy Of the country, with the
other We can pound and cut away a each
other on minor Issues, in true pOlitica
style. Such seems to be the programme
there is no choice aside from it. There
tore, let the Democratic party OF Scot,
county forget not It's party lines, mol
abate one iOta from its time-hOnored or

TEEsnAY. October Sh.

The election is passing off here
quietly. So far as this County is con-
cerned, the result, as stated in our last,
will have no real significance. We will
probably be able to give it in this week S
issue. 1t is quite probable that the
vote on the third ticket will be large
enough to defeat several Of the Union
candidates
The daily papers of yesterday con-
tsadict, as usual, the reports of the day
before. On Saturday the assurance
was that all things looked bTight-that
we were on the eve Of great events
which were to crown our arms with
complete success. And as foretaste OF
this coming glory, glowing accounts
were given, with prolix particularly, OF
battles and skirmishes in which we were
everywhere successful. But the same
papers of Monday take that all back
Now they tell us, the reported rout OF
the Rebels by Gen. Sturgis was all
hoax! That the other victories were
perem ptorily announced! That Wash
ington City is still in the utmost danger!
That it is not yet determined what to do

Good for Kentucky.

On the I'd inst, both Houses of the
Kentucky Legislature adopted resolu-
tions requesting Breckinridge and
Powell to resign their seats in the Sen
ate of the United States. This is an
important movement. Kentucky has
become thoroughly aroused to the con-
dition Of the country. Her people we're
always true at heart, but were, for long
time, bewildered by the intrigues of her
demagogues.
The Democratic party bad control of
the State Government. The. Governor,
U. S. Senators, and most of her repre-
sentatives in Congress were notorious
Secessionists. Unfortunately, such men
as Crittenden, and Prentiss of the Louis
vile Journal, went off on the ''neutral-
ity' dodge. Holt, and few other true
men, took manly and patriotic position,
but they had no share in the State Gov
ernment. They appealed, however, to
the people, and carried the State at the
August election, on pure Union plat
form, by some siry thousand majority'
They carried both branches of the Leg
islature by more than two-thirds of each.
| This Legislature is proving itself true
to the Constitution, the Union, and the
real sentiments Of the people Of the
State. In spite of the Governors yetoes,
it has placed Kentucky alongside of the
loyal States. And DOW, SO far as posi-
BILE, she has wiped from her skirts the
disgrace of having such Traitors as
Breckinridge and Powell to represent
her, by requesting them to resign the
trust they have SO basely betrayed
We do not suppose they will obey, but
they will not dare to appear in Washing
ton to claim their seats
Breckinridge has fed from his native
State, and has taken refuge in the camp
of the Rebels to avoid arrest. Powell
has probably followed suit. The noto-
rious James B. Clay, the degenerate SON
of Henry Clay, has been arrested and is
imprisoned with other Traitors in Fort
Lafayette. The spells of compromise
and "neutrality', have been completely
broken, and Kentucky steps upon the
solid ground of the Constitution as made
by our fathers. 1t is sad, indeed, that
she did not assume this attitude in the
start. 1t would have saved her from
being the 'dark and bloody ground" of
the war, But now, that she has as
sumed her true position, it is the duty
of every patriot to sustain her by every
means. She will ESQ sustained. Ohio
and Indiana are sending to her relief
their patriotic sons by thousands, and
the bonds that heretofore united the
people of these States, will, no doubt, be
strengthened for all time to come.

t. Should the South

grant they may not. Should the South
proclaim Immediate emancipation, they
could not only have an army at once Of
million streng arms there, but a quar-
ter of a million Of free negroes in the
North, and in Canada, who have desired
TO fight for the Onion, in the vague hope
thatit would tend to tire liberation of
their race, would fight to tie death
against that same Union, if the banner
over them was inscribed with cmanci-
patton already proclaimed by its enc
mics! The slaves in the South, too have
come to our camps in crowds, and have
offered to place their lives in our keep
ing, and serve the cause of the Union in
any way they could, if they could only
be free. But, with blind infatuation,
they have been lashed back to their bond
age, making them ready to believe the
story that the object of the war is to
Keep them slaves. .,-

able even, that in His Providence He
will permit the passions and prejudices
of men to execute His righteous judg-
ment upon themselves, for their long
practiced denial of that Providence, as
! that denial has been manifested in the
enslavcment of a race too weak to resist
our power? And that the very means
resorted to to perpetuate slavery will be
overruled in way not dreamed of by
those employing them, for its utter over
throw?
| Confidently as bad men rush onward
in the mad effort to secure their own
selfish. and ambitious ends, they are, new
ertheless, often but the blind instru-
ments in the hand Of Higher Power,

epochs in the progress of humanity

of the actors, seemed chaos, retroSres-
sion and discord, was, in fact, the ad-
