TIE DRAFT IN OUR STATE.

The last dodge of the Rebel-sympatbizers in
our City is to complain of the draf. as unequal,
in that a larger number are required from the
Democratic CITY than the Republican (ruraD
Districts. The assumption is that different
rules are applied in these cases; but such is
not the fact A careful enrolment is made OF
all the males within the prescribed ages, and
of these one-ffth are drafted, with fifty per
cent added to meet the contingency OF exemp-
tons for disability. There is no shadow of
partially OF discrimination.
But large cities, and especially growing
cities, contain an unusual proportion of young
men. The youth of our own country and
Western Europe HE to New-York in quest OF
employment as clerks, mechanics, laborers, &C.,
while our old men retire into the country to
snend the evening of their days in quiet and
secusion. Hence the enrolment would in any
case seem to bear hardly upon us.
But further: IL 10 notorious that this City

proportion of men now in the field. A good

OLD KENTUCKY.

The first distinct trial OF strength in Ken.
lucky between the Union aud lis foes took
place in August, 1860, when a Clerk Of the
Court of Appeals was the only State Officer
chosen. The vote stood

In SO, Buchanan had beaten Fillmore by
1926 majority, and in 80, MagofIn dem.
had beaten Joshua +. Bell for Governor by
9,9l6 majority.
In l9Gl, MagGilin refused, with terms Of op.
probrium, TO send Militia to defend Washing
ton from apprebended Rebel assault after the
fall of Sumter, and proclaimed sort of neu-
trality between the Union and the Rebels.
But ut the State Election which followed close
on the heels Of our Bull Run disaster, nine OF
the ten Districts elected Unionsts to Congress
by an aggregate majority Of over Fifty Thou
sand; in fact the opposition in most of the
Districts was of no account. The entire Sc.
cession vote fell below Forty Thousand. A very
strong Union Legislature was chosen at the
same time, whereby the State was soon re.
placed in her true position of unconditional
loyalty to the Government and flag Of the
Union Magoffn saw fit to abdicate and
shrink into obscurity, giving place to the
President of the Senate (James +. ROBINSON
as Governor pro tenn.
At none Of the foregoing elections could il
bs pretended that the Unionists had any ad-
vantage. The Democrats had been in power
for years; Breckenridge their pole-star, waf

for President ia 1860: be was doubtless 80.

Rebel chief in 1861 declared that the South
ern Confederacy without Kentucky would be- a
foredoomed failure. 1t was with the State and
its Government fully in their hands that the
Democratic leaders plunged into DlsuniOn, and
thereby destroyed their own power They
managed the elections at which they were
voted out of power.
Since 1861, there has been no general cleo.
ton in the State till Monday; and meantime

RUSSIA AND THE THREE WESTERN
POWERS.

When the reply Of Russia TO tho notes o.
the Western Powers reached London. Pari.
and Vienna the journals OF these cities, which
are supposed TO get their inspiration from their
Governments, represented, with remarkable
unanimity, the Russian reply as very concilia'
tory and on the whole satisfactory II was, OF
course, inferred that the danger Of war wa,
for the present averted, aud that u conference
Of European Powers would soon bring the
difficulty to a peaceable end.
A few more days passed, and tho tone OF
the official and scmi.ohcial papers suddenly
changed. The reply OF Russia to England
and an abstract of that to France were pub.
lished, and the organs OF the three Govern.
ments expressed ubbounded indignation. They
argued that the concessions of Russia amounted
in fact to nothing for the Russian Govern.

party, feel no sympathy with the instruction.
Many who wish to be regarded as sympathiz-
ers with the cause of the Poles, yet are OPP
posed to any kind Of interference, as they
think that it is none Of Engands business to
NEEDLE in the affairs Of a foreign country, and
that war with Russia would certainly be I'M
profitable. Another party, of which The Lon
don Times now makes itself the spokesman,
is so devoted TO the interest of the COnfeder-
ate States that it opposes an interference in
Poland as detrimental to the prospects of the
Rebels. Lord Russell himself has declared
that England would confne herself strictly to
diplomatic action and not go to war. But
there does not seem to be perfect harmony
between him and Lord Palmersson. whose dec
larations are somewhat more warllke and who
refused TO give to the House of Commons any
information on the course which the Govern
ment intended to pursue.
The attitude of the Austrian Parliament is
more decided in favor Of the Poles than that
of England. An entire agreement has been
arrived ut between the German and the Polish
parties of the Council Of the Empire, and
there is little doubt that the support OF the
Austrian Parliament for war might be more
easily secured than that Of the English. Only
the representatives of tho Bohemian Slavi (the
Czechs), who are converts to the new political
doctrine of q Coniederacy Of all tho Slavi,
under the leadership of Russia, express de-
termined sympathy with Russia. But they are
few in number, and therefore without lnflu-
ence. The Austrian Government has greater
interest than either France or England IN the
weakening of Russia, for n reconciliation OF Po-
land with Russia, aud progress of the Panslavic
movement, would bring on q Crisis for Austria
which i. would probably be impossible for her
to brave. The organization Of Slavic Power
in opposition to Russia may soon become for
Austria a vital question:; but as she herself
owns Polish Provinces aspiring TO national H.
dependence. she is aware that the path she
has entered upon is full of hidden dangers.
The course of Austria in the progress OF the
Polish question is, therefore, likely to be more
watering and dependent upon contingencies
than that of either England or France.
All through Europe the interest in the Po-
lsh question 10 again on the increase aud the
next stages OF its development are Looked for
ward to with anxious suspense.
