4 Stall the People Of Kentucky elect a
Governor and other OMcers.
The Louisville Journal last week con-
tanned an elaborate editorial on the unspeak-
able absurdity of the grounds on which
Wicklifs is running for Governor, on the
folly and faulty Of his attempting to
make the race, and on the imperative necss-
tsity Of Frustrating the designs Of his support
ers. As the groundwork of its article, the
Journal discovers a huge mares nest in the
fact that some Democrats held consuisa-
tive meeting at Frankfort on the duties and
relations Of citizens to the State, and from
the monster bearing eggs found in this i'm
msnse receptacle. 1t hatched out hideous
brood Of secession, rebellion and treason
It would be futile to expose the Journals
malignity and falsehood In the construction
It endeayors to twist out of the position of
the. Kentucky Democracy and the candidacy
of Gov. Wickliffe. It would be worse than
pouring water on the sand, to pour light and
truth into the Cimmerian sanctum OF the
Journal. We only note the article now, to
record an impression which 1t made on our
mind at its first reading, and to cite subse-
quent facts tending to establish that first
impression. The object of the article was
in our opinion, to lay the groundwork and
then incite the military of the Gilbert stripe,
to prohibitany citizen of Kentucky voting
in August, unless he shall be a known de-
votse of the Lincoln War party ticket. Its
augmentation is substantially this-that it
was In vain that Gilbert's bayonets dispersed
the Democratic Convention last winter as
sembled to nominate a ticket, if the Dem
ocracy are still to be permitted to vote for
whom they please next August. That is
the argument o the whole long editorial of
the Journal. boiled down to a single SEN
tencs. Take it in all its scope. and with all
its varied episodes, that is its meaning and
design. And, in accordance with its spirit,
we find since. that Nat. Wolfe, Esq, of
Louisville, a Union candidate for Congress,
has been subjected to military arrest for
denouncing Lincoln's Abolition policy
Judge Trimble Of Paducah has also been
arrested by military tool of Lincoln, for
nothing that we see, except being Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress, though a
strong Union man from the beginning of our
troubles, having run against Burnett for
Congress two years ago. Wolfe has for
years been a distinguished Union member
of the State Legislature, Chairman Of Com
mittee on Federal Relations, and as such we
believe reported the resolutions which con-
stituts the profssssd platform of the Ken
lucky Unionists-so styling themselves
but he Is opposed to Lincoln's Abolition
policy, which he thinks, as many others
honestly do, more fatal to future Union
than Secession. Two Democratic candi-
dates for the Legislature, one Union mem
Der at the last session, have also been ar
rested by the military. That's restoring
government, with witness, isn't it? Un-
less these thingsare summarily stopped, and
satisfactory guarantees given for fair and
free election, witho ut q shadow of military
interference, we should be inclined to advise
the Democracy to take no part whatever IL
the canvass or the election, but to quietly
bide their time-for it as assuredly coming
apacs. We should advise this, not only fol
the sake Of peace and good order; but fo
the reason that, if the Democracy take par
in an election, however unlawfully held aDt
conducted, Gas in the case OF military inter-
ference, open or secret. direct or indirect, j
certainly would beg they would be conStruc
lively held to be estopped from complaining
of the result, even though brought about By
fraud, terror, violence and military intimida
ton. Better leave it to the Abolitionists
Lincolnites, and all other constituents of the
War party to perpetrate lawless violenc'
and fraud in the election; and let the Dem
ocracy whose creed is the Constitution, Law
and order, remain quietly at home, await
ing the "good time coming" when theil
principles and policy, their virtue and pat
riotism, and their devotion to constitutions
government, will be signally vindicated by
the applauding judgment of all whose judg-
ment is worthy of appreciation-of all true
and honest patriots.
