Kentucky Election---Fanaticism.

0CAt4(Al 4ACCb2O4- 646l2ClSxus
The fanatical, lying, turbulent spirit of the
villainous Abolitionis,s Of the country, is now
thoroughly absorbed in the Republican party.
as they call themselves here in California, the
Union" party. Upon the division of the
democratic party upon Buchanan'e policy. this
spirit Of fanaticism was found aiding the de-
feat Of those who differed with Buchanan, as
many Of the abolitionists proclaimed, for the
the purpose of forcing them into thoir sectional
organization. 1t was this spirit tha. defeated
and killed Broderick and Douglas, and on
Crittendeu's death rejoiced that, that order OF
politicians is passing away"
1t was giving free scope to this wicked and
faDatical spirit that brought 90 the present
war, and the same means are resor;ed to now
to keep 1t up- Hence the deuunciation of all
as rebels" and TRAITORS" and as the LEFT
wing of JEFF. Davis army" who do not act
and vote with them. The unyielding deiermi-
nation to employ all proper means 10 uphold
the constitution and laws, and to preserve the
Union, does not satisfy them. Men must en-
dorse the proclamation or the rebellion-sur
render themselves entirely TO the control of the
one or the other, and then the fsnatical spirit
of abotiouism and rebellion would rage and
burn. without regaru TO Union or constitutions
until one party Of sectional fanatics had ex
hausted the other. Anything that looks sim
ply TO restoration of the Union, without re-
gard to the governing prejudice Of these fanat

| We have heretofore claimed the election in
Kentucky, as repudation of the political
policy OF the Administration. The Marysville
Express, looking at ibe means employed to
prevent the Wickliffe party from voting. was
disposed to regard it as an Administration
victory. To show this spirit of fanatcism, We
give the opinion of an ignorant and malignant
fanatic. though fair representative Of fbe Re-
publican party:
The RECORD has less honesty than the Ex
press, and is inclined to gobble up every Union
success in the east as Copperhead victory
1t won't do the Express i. Dot only honest, bat
correct. Red Biuf Independent.
The Express. while being thus endorsed by
the fanatcal Independent, is pronounced more
square toed secesh" than the RECORD. We
care not how that may be, our present object
being to show the animus OF the Admnistra
ton aud rebel parties, and their hatred of eve
rylhing that looks to the cultivation of con-
stitutional Union sentiment. 1t is known that
the rebel journals are exceedingly savage iu
their attacks upon the Democratic party of the
north. They ridicule it, satlrize it and call it
all manner of bard names. But the evidence
that there is constitutional, union peace party
at the South is daily increasing. We think
this owing to the Union, anti Administration
position of Kentucky. That has taught the
southern people that they are not obliged to be
rebels" as the Republicans would have them,
or "Lincon's hirelings,' as the rebels would
make them believe. Certain it is that in
North Carolina, Virginia, Eastern Tennessee,
Northern Alabama and Northern Georgia,
many people have boldly declared for the old
Union and the old flag, in spite of JEFF Davis
terrorism aud deSpotism. 1t is very evident
therefore, that the object of the rebel newspa
per attacks upon the democratic party is TO
create such feeling of hostility against it as to
effectually suppress the southern peace party,
which is iseverywhere developing ITSELF which
has already assumed formidable proportions
in the districts we have mentioned.
It is also true that the abolitionist take great
pains to re-echo and endorse these datrbcs
and phillipics against the democratic party
| Neither jeff. Davis nor the Administration
! party desire to have this war ended by the res
toraton of the Union. JEFF Davis and the
other rebel leaders are struggling hard for a
Southern Confederacy, in which they can keep
themselves in power. The abolitonsts are
making equally earnest efforts to secure a
government in which they can retain the as
cendancy by the aid of negro votes. This plot
has been apparent for years past, and has been
showing its cloven foot ever since the war be
gan. Thus far the rebels and the republicans
are at work for common object, and upon 10
other hypothesis can their unanimty, and their
mutual assistance in breeding enmty and rage
against the Democratic party, and between the
two sections OF the country. 1t is very natur-
al, therefore, that the organs of the rebel gov
ernment should assal the Democracy in bitter
and malicious articles, and quite as natural
that the abotionists should use these weapons,
supplied to them by the rebels, by publishing
all such articles with exulting comments.
SO this despicable game of mutual comfort
and assistance has been played by the rebel
leaders and the abolitionists since the outbreak
of the war. On neither side have the masses
of the people with their sober Judgment, had
chance TO be heard Whenever the soldier. of
the Union and rebel armies have met neacpfuI.
