The Kentucky Election.

| .lhere has been an amusing discrepancy III the
sham Democratic papers about the election IL
Kentucky. Becfre the election the ticket headed
by Wckfe was called by them Democratic
and that headed by Bramlette, Republican. w her
it was first known that the Bramette ticket haC
succeeded, these same papers fercely assailet
Gen. Burnside for having kept Democrats ava,
from the polls. At last, however, these paper
have made the discovery that the Bramlelt
ticket is true blue Democratic, and they shou
accordingly. The mistake they have made al
the time consists in CHASING the candidates a.
Democrats or Republicans. There we're two
parties in Kentucky, the war party and the peace
party. 1t is the war party which has triumpbeC
by decisive majority.
The Louisville Journal, commenting on the
election, says:
We shall not say much about the election:
of yesterday until we get fuller returns But
what we have already heard and what we give thi.
morning TO our readers shows that the loyal men
of Kentucky the friends of the country. the true
champions Of the Union and the Constitution, the
supporters of the war for the putting down oil
this rebellion against the United States, against
mankind and against God, have achieved victo-
ry even greater and more signal than they dared
to expect. Their majorites at nearly all the
points heard from are startling even to them
selves.
Many of our people know not, and probably
they never will know, what dreadful results they
escaped yesterday by the crushing defeat Of tn :.
disloyal candidates. We confess that we were
deeply fearful of the result, for we knew what vast
advantages our opponents in some respects had
in the contest. If they had triumphed, the Cen
JUS OF kentucky might have shreked woe woe |!
woe But the danger is past. Truth and honor
and patriotism are victorious. The clouds of
treason are dispeed, and the pure blue sky, thick
and glorious with stars, is bending over US.
We shall hear no more about the Withholding
OF the men and money necessary to the prosecu-
ton of the war. The disloyalty that has been SO
noisy and threatening is rebuked. |, has received
lesson that 1t is not likely to forget during the
rest OF its brief days. Its insolent crest is bowed
kentucky, deeply and bitterly as she NOUNS this
awful war, will, in her own strength and the
strength of heaven, prosecute it until the Union
shall be restored and may merciful God grant
that the time be short"
We are willing that the Blue Light anti-war
Democrats should exuIt if they can over such
political victory The truth is, the Bramlette
party though disliking the emancipation meas.
ures of the administration, are unwavering in
their support of the war, and in favor of giving
men and money for i vigorous prosecution
They have no sympathy with the Vallandghams
and Seymours of the North in the attempts now
being made to paralyse the arm of the Govern
ment, and make Jeff Davis success certain, "
resisting the draft, and encouraging northern
revolution. They are unconditional war men,
and as such we hail their success as victory for
the Union.
The following gentlemen, all Union, will repre-
sent Kentucky in the Thirty-eighth Congress +:
1-Lucien Anderson, 5-*Robert Mallory,
