The Kentucky Election.


tory. We were never more serious
1t was democratic victory and it Is
so claimed by every democratic paper
in the country whose editor has brains
enough, and common sense enough 10
distinguish between abolitioni>m and
patriotism. The Governor elect in q
speech before election, said:
The points of undying devotion and
loyalty to the government, and the de-
termination to adhe to it and preserve
it at all hazards the duty Of the >tlte
government to see the laws executed !;
The condemnation Of The radical meas
ares Of the administration in potrc, and
the pledge TO correct them By peaceful
and constitutional means through the
ballot bor, oil meet my most cordial Gp-
probation and support. There is no is
sue made against them in Kentucky
Judge Bramlette's Louisville speech.
This is the identical platform and
policy and policy upon which Horatio
Seymour was elected Governor of New
York, and Governor Parker. Governor
of New JerSey-and upon which both of
these distinguished democrats stand to-
day. Its the true democratic platform
off of which the Democratic party can
not step without falling into merited ru-
in and destruction. Those sterling
democratic papers, the Buffalo Courier
and Rochester Union, and all the Dem
ocratic journals Of New York endorse
this platform and claim the election as a
triumph for sound democratic constitu-
tional and conservative principles. We
know nothing Of BramIette's previous
party associations, but as long as he
proclaimS that rule of action, and lives
up to it officially, he is a good enough
Democrat for US. He may not suit some
of the recent conveIts to the Democratic
party, but his doctrine is, as long as he
lives up to it, the true democratic doc
trine, as taught by the democratic party
from the days of Washington down to
the unfortunate hour when the leader
ship Of the party and nation was placed
in the hands of Buchanan. Since then
there has been much foul democracy
taught, and the party owes it to Itself
to adhere to the ancient faith and stand
by It's time-honored principles.-Chica-

THE FOLLOWING article is from the
Noble Register, one of the strongest
secession papers in the South, but at
the same time one of the ablest. Read
it every rybody:
The North is no less set on a purpose
of final separation than We are. The
Republican party are not fighting to re
store this Union, any more than the old
Romans fought to establish the indpen-
dence of the countries they invaded
The Republicans are fighting for con
quest and dominion, We for liberty and
independence.
There is onl Y one party North who
want this Union restored, but they have
no power-legislative, executive or ju-
dicial-than the paper We write on. 1t
is true they make a show of union and
strength, but they have no voice of au-
thority. We know that the Vallandig-
ham school wants the Union restored,
for he told US so when here in exile, par
taking of such hospitality as We exten-
ded to real enemy to our struggle for
separation, banished to our soil by an
other enemy who is practically more our
friend than he. And if Vallandigham
should, by any accident or other cause,
become Governor of Chic, We hope Lin
coin will keep his nerves to the proper
tension, and not allow him to enter the
confines of the State. His administra-
ton would more to restore the old I'm
ion than any other in Ohio could do; and
therefore We pray that he may be de-
feated. Should 4 strong Union party
spring up in Ohio, the third State in the
north in political Importance, it might
find faint response in some Southern
States, and give us trouble. But as
long as the Republicans hold power,
they will think of conquest and denim
ion only, and We, on the other hand, will
come up in solid column for freedom and
independence, which We will be certain
to achieve, with such assistance as we
may now latter the refusal of the Wash
ington cabinet to CONFER confidently ex-
pect before the Democrats of the North
get into power again, and come whisp-
ering in our ears, "Union, rc-construc-
ton, Constitution, concession and guar
uantees." Away with ali such stuff
We want separation. Giue us rather,
men like Thaddeus Sterens and Charles
Sumner. They curse the Old Union and
despise it, and so do ,re. And now We
promise these gentlemen that, as they
hate the Union and the ''accursed Con-
stiiution,'' let them keep down Nallan-
dirham and his Marty in the North. then
