E@ The Louisville Democrat must
feel very sorrowful over the recent cleo
tons. 1t said on Wednesday:
"The election yesterday in the States
of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, it is
probable, settles the policy of this coun-
try for four or five years, and, in all
likelihood, the fate of the Union in all
time to come IF the Democratic ticket
is defeated in those States, it portends
the adhesion to the present suicidal
policy, with its attendent horrors ol
plumber and slaughter"
The Democrat is correct, we think, in
its opinion that the policy of the country
is settled for four or Eve years. The
Conservative faction has not the shadow
of chance to carry solitary State il
the next Presidential election. Ok
Kentucky will go by at least ten thou
sand majority for the Free Soil candi
date for the Presidency. Freedom is
now the fixed policy of this nation
