from reading your paper, l feel disposed
TO congratulate you on the result of the
election in Kentucky, which would seem
to be falling of from the Union cause
when compared to former elections. but
Is not when we take in consideration
ioi'y live thousand who could not vote,
being IN the army, and some ten or If
teen thousand who were drilling under
Gen. Fry, which are part Of the twenty
thousand making up for home defence.
in accordance with the act Of Congress
last, which added will make Fifty. five or
sixty thousand who could not vote.
which, added TO the Union majority,
would amount to about ono hundred
thousand majority for BrAmlette, Union
candidate for Governor, who advocated
the furnishing Of more men and money
to put down this rebel ion At any cost
necessary, if Lincoln should refuse 10
change the programme Of the war. His
opponent Wickliffe, who was for no more
men or money unless the President with
drew the proclamation and disbanded
the black regiments, was badly beaten.
Hardin, for Congress, Union candidate.
said on the street in Liberty, lat which
place be made his speech, J that yeBely ne.
groes 'oere good enough to tight against yeD-
els, an admission that would have been
made by few six months ago. Hardin
was for more men and money, and beat
his opponent, HeAdy, very badly, who
was for no more men or money unless the
proclamation and black regiments were
Withdrawn. Tie pyeiudicss agotns, negro
regiments are no, 50 grea, az they aOsrs a Je,O
months ago. / can occasionally hear a
man say of late II rebels negroes are
taken from them and armed il the re-
bellion will end the sooner, | don't care,
Tor they deserve no favor, but will add,
what will our slaves be worth to us IL
they are freed In the South? When |
look around me and see who clamor
loudest against Iincoln's policy, II IL
first the young or middle aged who yisit
groceries and get stimulated on the
best liquor, and whose parents have
slaves next the young buck Of black
mustache, whose highest ambition ia
to please the ladies, as parlor gentle
man, who looks upon labor as undigni-
lied, who is ready TO go to all the pic
MICS OF the day, and the parties of the
night, who render but little service at
home, who, If they by chance can be got
to work, must have on gloves, who re.
quire as many negroes to wait on them
as the old aud inGrm, whose course in
life is not apt to benefit Church or State.
But | will return to the subject of the
election, which will not be presented to
the country in its true light If care is
not taken--all the candidates were for
the union Of all the States, but some adj
yocatod the policy of no more men or
money unless tho proclamation and
negro regiments were wi hdrawh, which
were badly beaten. If the issue had
been separation from the Government, or
remain with the Government, / don't
suppose one per cent. wopld have been
for separation. kenlucky's loyalty is be-
yond suspicion. She expects protection
from the Goverpmept in all BIER rights.
II anything gets in the way Of tho uuion
Of the States knock il out Of tue way
Kentucky on all occasions since this
rebellion broke out has cast such maiori-
ties for Union men as is unprecedented
IN her history Of majOrities, got Jeffer-
son Davis was highly inoensed At General
Burnside for having arrested, tried con-
demnedi and executed two Confederate
recrui ing officers iNha we're trying 20
recruit for the yonlederacy ON Kentucky
soil alleging as an eKcuse foThis indig-
nation that Kentucky was in the South
ern Ooniederaoy. such impudehce and
talsehood was only equaled when satan
led tho Savior on tho pinacl, Of the
temple and showed him the Kingdoms Of
the world, and promised allths8e things
evil | give thee II thou wilt fan down
and worship me, promised when no

sinner has been elevated 10 a high, but
infamous position by bogus vote Of a
bogus Confederacy. II lie will come TO

The Ua'oa you send me comes regular

pleased with IT, II you zee anything in
