KENTUCKY MR.. CRITTENDEN'S
VIEWS,

Mr.. Crittenden made speech at Lexington,
Kentucky, last week, thus defining his position
as candidate for Congress:
The first great object which he ardenty de-.
sired was, that this war should be put an end
to; that the longer it continued, and the more
devastating it became, the more difficult would
be its solution; and to the end of pacfcation
and the restoration of the kindly feelings which
once prevailed among the happy and prosper.
GUS people of common Government would
his whole energies be devoted, if it should be
the pleasure OF the people to confer on him the
responsible trust Of representing them. To q
war of Subiugation he was opposed and while
he was satisfied that the Government did moth
ing more than its duty in the preparation it had
made to defend the national capital, vet he
would be prepared, at any moment to lend a
helping hand to arrest the further progress of
this unnatural conflict. Mr.. Lincoln, he de-.
clare1 was not the President of his selection.
and he was neither responsible for nor prepared
to sustain the policy of that functionary. Lin.
coin, however, was not the Government, al.
though charged, for the time, with its admins.
trative functions; and, while be repudiated all
allegiance to him or his creed, he was, as be
