rhs Ke.,ueky election.

Enough Is already known 10 snow that
Kentucky is, as we always expected she
would be, true to the Union. The result
of Mondays election is enough to fill the
hearts of the friends of the Union with
gratitude, gladness and hope. The I'm
lou Democratic ticket is elected by an
overwhelming majority. Clay is elected
10 represent Ashland district by major
ity heretofore unequaled, except, perhaps,
in tho case of the venerable Crittenden
over SimiBs. Mallory has beaten Nat.
Wolf in the Louisville district.
In the 4ih district Harding beats his
opponent, WI. Heady, by Majority
which does honor to the intelligence and
patriotism Of the people, adds a moral
strength to the Union cause in the whole
State which must be felt everywhere. -
So in other parts of the State. Though
we have not up to this writing many de-
tails, we may confidently say that Seces-
sion has received blow from which it
cannot recover The accused spirit is
swept from the soil of Kentucky, which
had SO long disgraced and polluted by its
infamous struggles to drag Kentucky and
its people ioto dlshonor and ruin.
The issue was distinctly made of s'no-
mere-mea-and-meneyh to fight the war
for the Union. Every effort known TO po-
litical warfare was used TO deceive The
psopls--ialse colors were carried by the
enemy-false men, with specious and
plausible words and speeches. joined in
the unholy effort to divert the people from
their atyarhment to the Government and
the Union-every trick and device was
resorted to, but. Ia spite of all these things,
and all these influences, to-day stand true
to their duty and interest--true TO their
ancient renown--true to the faith and
teaching of their fathers.
Our glorious old State occupies posi-
tion of which all her people may be proud.
Let them rejoice in her success. Let the
nen, women and children, this day rejoice
that kentucky is now safe and secure from
Secession, and that we have again the as
,surauce that all her rights her liberty,
her property and happiness are made sure.
The success Of Bramlette and the men
associated with him is Of incalcuable ad,
vantage. Its glorious results and conse
quences can hardly be estimated by the
casual student and reader of the events
which are ihiekening around the natior
and the State. The success of the Wick
life party would have brought the State
to the verge of, If not actual, ruin
