The Meeting on Monday Night.

The gathering at the Court House, on Mon
day evening last, was one OF the largest poiti-
cal meetings ever held in this place at February
court, The speeches delivered on the occasion
were excellent, and did not fail in producing
favorable effect upon the minds Of the apprecia-
live audience. Mr. CRssNA's vindication Of his
course in ousting Mr. Householder, was one Of
the strongest and most forcible efforts @e have
ever heard on any similar subject. There was
no denuncatlon in the speech-not one word
but vein of the keenest, subtlest satire perva-
led il; in humber phrase, il was complete
'sskinniug" Of those who are now making war
upon Mr.. Cessna The address of Mai. CREss-
WELL, was also one Of much eloquence and
beauty. Messrs TATE and PALMER made short
speeches, but acquitted themselves ably, as usu-
al. The resolutions adopted are Of the "right
stripe" and were received with unanimous IA
vor. % the whole, the signs exhibited by this
meeting, are highly propitious for the Democra-
cy. The people have made up their minds
dire necessity has taught them-torestor the
Democratic party to power, and they will do it
as sure as the sun will rise on the day of the
next Presidential election.

a Truth well Told.

Hon. A. HARDING, Uaion member Of Con-
gress from Kentucky, 10 a recent able and pa
triotic speech, made the following emphatic
staiement:-
The ultra abolitionists, whether they know
it or not, have been and now are giving the
most successful aid TO the disunlonsts Of the
South, and uI4king tho most successful var up
on the Union. The great and prevailing ar
gument of the leading disunionist, IN the South
and in the border States, has beeD, and still is
that the North, in violation of the constitution,
intended, and was about TO turn the struggle
into war for emancipation, and thus esplunge
the whole population, white and black" into a
remorSeess and bloody struggle.-BY this ar
gument alone be has succeeded in seducing and
drawing into the rebellion, thousands of mis-
guided men Without il, he would have been
powerless; and This argument has been furnish
ed and put into his mouth by the Northern abo-
lilioniss. This has been the great question of
debate that loyal men have met and baltled a
gainst thousand times all over Kentucky.
This is the view we have always held The
handful ofdisrnionists per Sc IN the Southern
States, were furnished by aboitIonists of the
North, with the very arguments they most
needed and desired TO make use Of in coasum-
mating their dark purpose to establish a sePa-
rate confederacy. Every intelligent mind in
the North ought TO have been able TO have grasp
ed at once this now undDubted truth But
though the Democracy Iabored hard and long 10
impress it upon The popular intelligence Of the
North, though the most solemn and earnest
warnings came 10 Us from the Union men Of the
South, The people would not hearken, and the
dreadful penalty is now upon them. And
now, whilst that penalty must be paid, let U,
learn from the past and beware lest the fanatics
and fools who have already ruined us half, vii
not finish The job through our patient and su-
pine suferaace

Tninn Victories.

The recent triumphs of the Union arms at
Somerset, KY, and Fort Henry, on the Tennes-
see river, throw gleam of hope upon the hith-
erto gloomy prospect of the war. These sue
cesses, however, must soon be followed M by
movements on larger scale, il we are to en-
tertain any reasonable expectations of speedy
suppression of the rebellion. A deciSive vclo-
~ must be won before the 18th OF April next,
il we would prevent the Intervention Of for
eign powers. At any rate, it is time that our
army should do something effective, and whilst
we have entire confidence in the military abil-
ity of our commanding generals, we think there
is ''screw loose" somewhere that prevents
more speedy action. Is It in the Cabinet, or
are the contractors still in the way! We shall
see by and by.
