The speech Of Hon. Tnos A. HENDRIcKs
at tie Seminary Grove, last Monday, was
mastery effort. Plain candid and truth
full, delivered in the happy style peculiar
to him, the facts presented had no doubt
great influence over all unparalleled hear
ere. The audience was large and Intense
ly enthusiastic, at times cheering the speak
er till the welkin rang again with joyous
shouts of patriotic men in response TO
some happy hit, OF scathing sarcasm ut
tered by the noble champion of constitu
tional liberty. and human rights. Every
face we saw beamed with delight except
those of a few faDatical abolilionists who
think that the whole duty Of man consists
in freeing. feeding, clothing and educating
the inevitable Niger at the expense of
the white race; Of con rse such as they
were not well pleased fellows we
piied them from the bottom of our hearts,
and hope that the leaven Of truth received
by them on that occasion may leaven the
whole lump of theii misguided understand
ing.
The speech had its effect on the minds
of the people as is manifested by the cleo
ton returns of Tuesday.
The contrast between real greatness and
mere demagoguism was easily perceivable
upon comparing the speech Of Mr.. Hen
bricks with that of J. A. Wright deliver
ed at the same place few days ago, the
people saw it and voted accordingly hence
the great democratic increase in the vote

THE RESULT.

Our abolition friends in this county
charge their defeat to two causes, Isl
that Democrats have failed to furnish their
quota Of volunteers for the war, ID that
there is an organization Of X. G.. G. in this
county. Now we have no hesitation in
stating positively that there is no such or
der here and never has been, nor do We
believe that our opponents believe tie
charge themselves. As to the first charge
that more Republicans than Democrats
have gone to the war, it is purely anC
simply absurd. The vote in Bourbon
and Tippeeanoe proves this beyond {
donbt, and also proves one other fact, ant
that is that there were not less than sixty
illegal votes cast for the abolition ticket il
those two townships.

After the exhibitions we have had OF

AFTER THE ELECTION.

The election is now over and The smoke
will soon have passed away leaving the
political horizon we trust as clear at leas,
as before the recent campaign.
During the contest we have labored
with all the earnestuess incident to our
nature. believing that upon the result de-
pended the veal or woe Of our once hap.
py country.
We lave not failed to characterize the
measures OF our opponents as they deserv-
ed, and in doing so have brought down
npon our ourself the vindictive spleen and
wrathful malice of few ultra leaders in
the Republican party. They have seen fit
to abuse and vilify US without stint, hop
ing therby we doubt not to divert atten
ton from the true character of the meas
ures advocated by them, and thus change
the contest from one Of principle, to mere
personalities.
We have found it necessary SON. etimes
to speak of these things plainly, and il we
have been severe, or occasionally driven
to the use of harsh epithets. it was be-
cause we honestly believed they were nee
essary under the circumstances at the
time, and now in looking back over our
files we can say that our own conscience
and sense of propriety would not require
us to change word which we have writ.
ten. Our candidates were such as
we could cordially support. our principles
as eternal as truth itself, and therefore our
labor though exciting has been in the
main pleasant. AT times indeed, we lave
been indignant at the course pursued to-
wards us by our enemies, and have felt
very much like descending from the tripod
to the ring, but Il en- again our better ma.
ture gained its usual ascendency over us
and orr cquanimity was soon restored.-
We have occasionally taken tilt at our
neighbor the Republican whose lance is
proverbia!ly ready one. in hopes i: pos
sible to draw him from the cover Of
mere assertion into the open field of argu,
ment and reason, but in vain; nothing
could induce him to depart from
his favorite system of guerrilla tactics.
and We were compelled to meet him on
his own ground or decline the contest
We will do him the justice to say that he
fights well in his chosen way, and as
every man has his forte, he has perhaps
acted wisely in adhering to those methods
of warfare in which he alone can ex-
Gel.
We hope hereafter to find mere time to
devote to miscellaneous matters, and the
news from the seat Of war, which we
doubt not will better please our readers
than any controversies merely personal to
ourself in which wa might engage
It shall be our endeavor to make the Dem
ocrat reliable news sheet AMI welcome

LOUISVILLE, Oct. Is, 1869.
A son Of ex Gov. Owsley OF this State,
telegraphed Gen. Boyle this morning that
the rebels were retreating from Camp
Dick Robinson down the turnpike towards
Lancaster, and so out to the Tennessee line.
There are other con6i nations of the state
ment, and little if any doubt is now enter
tanned of its truth. IL is believed that there
will be no delay in adopting energetic
measures to harass their retreat, though if
they are making as good time as reported,
it will be difficult to come up with them.
Unless unexpected difficulties arise, within
another week not a foot of an armed rebel
unless native guerilla will press the soil OF
Kentucky. Everything, however, depends
on prompt pursuit.
The rebels have three routes for retreat,
one through Somerset by the road on which
Zoilicoffer invaded Kentucky last winter:
one through Wiliamsburgh, and third
by Cumberland Gap, which is not believed
TO have been made wholly impassabl.. At
this season all these roads are in good COZ =
dilion. and though rough, i, is probable
they Can carry off most Of their trains n
