Kentucky Election.

The telegraph reports that the Union party
Of Kentucky have carried the election in that
State by 10000 majority, Every inteligen,
person. who has kept himself st all posted in
Kentucky politics, knows that the Union party
of that State is opposed TO the policy of the
Administration, and iu perfect harmony with
the Democracy of the Northern States-Un Union
under the Constitution and laws, with the
rights and dignities of the several States uniu-
paired. TIE ten Congressmen elected from
that State, are uualterably opposed to the
emancipation policy the Aboli,ionists have
forced upon the Administration, and will vote
and act with the Democracy in their efforts to
restore the supremacy of the Constitution and
laws, and TO put down the fanaticism that is
now controlling the authorities at Washington.
Let Us thank God that the next Congress
gives promise of being one that will demand
the submission Of the Rebels and Abolitionists
to the principles OF the Constitution, and thus
inaugurate the only practical method for
preservation of the Union.
The mendacity of the Sacramento Union,
and other Abolition papers in California that
follow in its wake, in claiming the result in
Keutucky as an endorsement of the main
war measures Of the Administration, and
that, " the next step in Kentucky will be in
the direction of emancipation" is not surpri-
sing TO those who remember their former and
constant Misrepresentation. The success Of
the Union party in Kentucky is a repudiation
of the policy of the Administration, as decided
and emphatic as was the election in New Y ork
last fall.
The convention that nominated Bramlette
for Governor, adopted the resolutions passed
by the General Assembly of Kentucky as their
platform. The same resolutions were adopted
by every Union Congressional Convention in
Kentucky, the 4th resolution of which is as
follows
hesoired. That this General Assembly, now
in the exercise of It's right 10 differ in opinion
with the National executive, enters lis solemn
protest against the proclamation of the Presi
dent of the United States, dated lst Of January
1868, by which he assumes to emancipate all
slaves within certain States, holding the same
TO be unwlse, unconstitutional aud void.
! The resolutions of the General Assembly of
Kentucky were re affirmed by the Democratic
/ Legislature of Pennsylvania, aud by the Dem
ocratic members of the New York Legislature
The Democracy of the North have accepted
and indorsed the platform of the Union men
of Kentuclsx as its own. The significance Of
this fact defes misconcepton, and is most
cheering to the nation.
The idea that the Union men of Kentucky
are acting in unison with the Republicans is
simply ridiculously false. The Republicans
have repeatedly denounced them as men who
snivel and blow over the Union" Upon
this point, the New York Journal of Com
merce says:
/ n men have been more abused by the radi-
cal party than those patriotic Union men of
Kentucky. 1t has at times been only too
manifest that the disunionists Of the North,
the abolition clique, desired to force Kentucky
IUlO aIldDCc with ktle plieinN. III OrutT tudl SUt
might be included with the Southern States in
slavehelding confederacy. Guided by the
doctrine " no union with Shareholders" these
enemies of their country among US in the
Northern States would have recklessy and
crmnay classed such men as Crittenden
with the Southern rebels, and would gladly
have seen him 60 over TO their ranks. But
they failed to appreciate the true patriotism of
Kentucky and the Kentuckians. They are
faithful beyond all the feeble conceptions of
the Abolitioosts. They never devised dsun-
ion plans in the interest of either anti-slavery
or slavery. They have always been for the
Union. and they deserve, as they receive, hon
or and respect from all good citizens and true
Americans.
The idea of claiming the Union men Of
Kentucky as Republicans is worthy of the ~
ing, partisan Republican press of California.
The fact that the Republican party ran candi-
dates in opposition to them, and protested
against their platform, sufficiently refutes the
wicked misrepresentation.
EASTERN BoUSDARY.-The fact that the
eastern boundary line of California is not yet
fully determined, is likely to cause some uHcer-
tainty in election matters. A portion of the
line has been run, aud the disputed locality Of
Honey Lake Valley, is settled as belonging to
California. Farther South, however the same
question is renewed The Aurora Daily Times
says:
The Governor Of Nevada Territory has
published his Proclamation for the election Of
COuncilmen and Representatives, generously
giving Esmeralda county one of the former and
three of the latter-uniess the boundary line
shall have been run before the coming election,
we shall also vote for two Senators and three
Representatives to represent US in the Caifor
MA Legislature. This State OF things should
be remedied Immediately. The line should be
run before the election, for when run, it is
probably established beyond Legislative inter
ference, in the future"
