Kentucky.

Some of the Abolition papers affect great
Joy over the result Of the election in Ken
lucky but the truth of the matter is they
are only whistling to keep up their cour.
age. Instead OF being victory for the
Administration, ii is an emphatic rebuke
to it and its adherents. The Cincinnati
Commercial, a "Republican" paper, says,
''The campaign in Kentucky presented
the peculiar feature of two Democratic
tickets, both claiming to be loyal"
The Louisville Journal, which suppor-
ted the Bramlette ticket, (the successful
ticket says that Gin the late canvass there
was not a solitary paper in the state but
earnestly opposed the administration. y
1t also speaks Of the principles of the Bran
lette party as follows
"The platform of the Union Democracy y
Of Kentucky is the platform of the North
ern Democracy, as represented by Gov.
Seymour, Every member of the Union
State Ticket stands squarely upon this
platform and within the sphere of his law
ful power will execute the platform to the
letter."
Again, Judge Bramlette, the new Gov
ernor elect, said in recent speech:
"We are all agreed in opposition to the
suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus,
the Conscription Bill, the Emancipation
Proclamation, the Confscation Bill and
the arming of Negro Regiments. We all
desire to get rid of them.''
When principles such as the above are
triumphant, we rejoice, no matter what
may be the name OF the party which h olds
them. The Administration has been COM
pletely routed in Kentucky-not militia
rily but politically-and so it will be in
every State that votes in October next.

Is It True =?

Gov. Curtin, a. the commencement OF
the last session of the Legislature, earn
estly recommended the passage of bill
making it penal offence to pay laboring
men in store orders. The Legislature did
pass a bill for that purpose, which we PUB
lished some time ago, when Curtins Or
gan, the Telegraph, announced that he
had sighed it. Shortly afterwards the
Telegraph declared the Governor had not
signed it, and moreover would not. New
light had dawned upon him, and to this
day the "scrip" remains without the Gov
ernor's sanction. IN return for this, it is
said that the iron.masters of the State,
who have grown rich by that which Cur
tin few months ago thought robbery,
were in force in Pittsburg, working for the
Governors denomination. Curtin has
pr omised them not to sign the bill. Will
he keep his word or will he now, in the
hope of humbugging the working men.
cheat the iron masters and sign it Well

Candidates for Senator.

The Democracy of the Thirteen Dis
trict, composed ofthe Counties of Snyder,
Northumberland, Montour and Columbia,
will nominate and elect Democratic
Senator, vice Hon. F. Bound, who has
for the last three years misrepresented over
three thousand democratic voters in this
Senatorial District. This County has q
candidate. We have heard of no one
named in either Montour or Snyder
D. B. Montgomery, and J. Woods Brown,
Of Northumberland county, are both cani.
dates. They are good men, well-tried and
sound Democrats, each having in turn,
ably Represented Northumberland in the

The Next Congress.

The New York Herald, says there is
now majority of six against the Admins
tration, and fourteen members still to be
elected, more than half Of whom will be
in opposition. The Herald further says,
that Kentucky sends her whole nine mem.
bere to Congress against the Administra.
tion. If this be true, Gen. Burnsides s
military interference will bear no fruit
But we doubt it. The Herald is bad au-
thority, with us, in any thing. There
will be no telling exactly how the next
Congress, will stand until test vote is
taken.

Ovation Of EX-President Buchanan.

On Saturday last dinner was given to
Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN, at the Bedford
Hotel, and the people of this neighbor-
hood called upon the Ex- President in large
numbers, to pay their respects 10 one whom
they now honor more than ever, seeing
that if his political views had continued 10
prevail in the administration of the Gov.
ernmcnt, we could not have had the pres.
ent civil war, and Disunion would long
since have died for want Of nurishment.-
In the afternoon a number of the ladies
called upon Ex.president. Altogether, it
was delightful reunion Of old friends,
and we believe was one of the largest and
most successful receptions ever given in
this place to any public man.

NEAR dusk, the infantry on the right
having been engaged since p. NJ, the
Division of Gen. Early, of Ewell's Corps,
eight thousand strong, charged upon the

the battery and actually had possession

The first address of the Democratic
State Central Committee to the people of
Pennsylvania will be found in our columns

the pen Of the distinguished Chairman, ,
Col. Charles j. Biddle, and will com mand
universal attention from its clearness and
strength, to say nothing of the dignity and
moderation which pervades the entire
document. 1t ought to bo read by every
citizen of OUT Commonwealth.

The Philadelphia Bulletin (abolition)
seeks occasion to abuse Mr.. Burr, the edi-
tor of a Democratic publication, The Old
Guard, and occasionally speaker at Dem
ocratic meetings, because Mr.. Burr was, al
one time, "A preacher, and in a sneering
manner the Bulletin prefxes Reverend to
his name, italicised.
How much more consistent and honor.
able was it in Mr.. Burr, to lay down the
pastorate when he proposed to take up
politics; than to turn every pulpit which
he occupied into rostrum. and every con.
gregatien into a political meeting. What
rebuke has the Bulletin to administer to
those preachers who are still filling the pull
pit, and under the pretense of preaching
the gospel, delivering abolition harapgues
and not only that, but descending to the
lowest depths of disunion and defense of
despotism, by going into the Loyal Lea

abolition, and therefore there is no sneer

The abolitionists said that when they
got hold of the reigns of government they
would carry it back to the days of the
fathers. Their fathers were those who, in
the time of the revolution, opposed the
oolonists in their efforts to establish the
new government, and who prosecuted the
American people, under authority of the
King. They have succeeded in carrying
the government back to what it was under
King George

was Intended to be nice trap to catch
copperheads and exempt the black snakes.
In Democratic districts about three tenths
Of the voters were to have been drafted,
while in Republican districts but about one
tenth were to be taken. A long letter from
Gov. Seymour TO the President, relating to
this as well as other points, is published y,
with the reply. Lincoln admits some of
the points to be well taken, evades others,
and gives partial assurance that justice will
be done.

Insanity of Fanaticism.

The Doyelstown Democrat attributes
the following sentiments to an Abelitionist
of Buckingham township:
81 never want to see peace until every
negro slave in the South is set free
Such as are in the army I want rewarded
by being placed in possession of their
masters property. Every black man in
the country should have the right to vote,
and if tho people see fit to elect them, to
Office the Declaration of Independence
declared all men free and equal. / would
prefer that rather than fail in this object
every man now in the army should be
killed"
The Democrat adds
"The brute who uttered this is not in
the service him self, nor any of his family y.
He is in the first class, but if he be drafted
he has $500 to exempt him."
So it is with all the blatant Abolition
'loyalists." They are not in the army
and they don't intend to go. Their pa
triotism consists in their willingness to
see everybody but themselves go and be
killed, or manned, or die Of exposure in
the cause--not of the Constitution nor Of
the Union-but of negro emancipation,
radical supremacy, and centralized des-
potic government.

In order that no excuse for want of

demand, in the name of Democracy and

preston of its dignity, the rigid execution
of this law. All troops must be absent

will see, if the Governor dare not, that
the laws of our Commonwealth are not

better be understood thus early in the day

cannot be repeated in Pennsylvania-lhat
we are determined to have a free, fair and

The abolition newspapers are very much
troubled to think up something to say
against Mr. Valandigham. One day they
try TO prove that there is kindly feeling
between the English people and that gent.
leman, and on the next they assert that he
was driven away from the Clifton House
because he was held in such contempt with
the Canadians. Vallandigham is an eye
sore to the abolitionists. Don't they wish
he was dead But he will live TO bury
these niggerites in tomb from which
there will be no resurrection.
