MY DEAR SIR Your letter Of the 9Th,
being directed to Lexington, did not reach.
me till last Saturday, when I paid my week
ly visit to my family of children and grand
children. You may remember that, in
1860, the Union party, with the writer as
their candidate, carried this State by over
q, 700 majority, against the whole power
of the National and State Administrations,
and of course, cannot allow myself to ne-
glect my official duties then assumed. One
court commenced an adjourned term week
since and will probably hold on for three
yet to come; after that shall be foot>oose
and feel disposed to devote my whole time
and energy to the great cause ia which our
hearts and judgments are engaged. have
never spoken to an audience in your State,
and should be especially pleased to meet my
old Whig friends and counsel with them
freely on the terrible state of the times, and
the erenJM future soon also to constitute
history. .
In my deliberate Judgment, If Mr.. Lin
| coin is re elected we shall have a military
despotism fastened upon us and our chill
dren, with standing army of free negro
jannissaries. At first, they may be coniia
ned to locations south Of the Susquehanna
and Ohio, out unless we agree to be taxed
also with standing army Of white men
several hundred thousand strong they will,
now and then, be sent across those rivers
just preceding important elections, in order
to preserve order at the polls and enforce
obedience to power. The government is
now erecting strong, permanent fortidca-
| tions, at the cost of millions OF dollars,
throughout Kentucky, which the abolition>
lists consider troublesome border State,
and filling them with negro soldiers, mainly
recruits from loyal citizens in the State.
The same thing is being done, you know,
from Cairo to the Balize, SO that when the
rebellion is crushed out, and the white reb-
els extirpated"-for that is the programs
me-the whole southern country will be
under the exclusive control Of the free ne,
groes, with State lines and constitutions
obliterated or held for naught. The vest
ern and northwestern states will find to
their sorrow, when the Mississippi river is
thus under this ignorant African control,
they will be forced to submit to the degrs
dation and danger, or abandon all southern
trade.
The black troops are everywhere the pets
and favorites Of Lincoln Il Co. Every ab.
clifton political general auds them to the
skies. -...-.
An instance of naked favoritism came
under my own observation in Lexington
within the last three days. On Saturday, as
landed from the cars. large negro reg-
ment, mainly Kentucky slaves, were para.
ding tie streets, with full music, mounted
on good, fat horses, finely dressed and With
fancy caps, armed cap-a-pie. j.
Yesterday saw three regiments of white
cavalry, or mounted infantry as they were
termed-I think from Illinois and Indiana
Just returning from Stoneman's raid, pale,
sallow, and leg-weary, (for they were oil
on foot,) with ragged clothes and dirty
shirts, vending their way slowly through
the city to some temporary camp, until
they could be sent on another expedition
TO The front, while the negroes would be
left behind, marauding through this country
to bedeyil our citizens and keep our fsmi
lies in constant terror. think my old whg
friends north of the Ohio, il ley could
witness what have described, would rush
in solid masses to the polls in November,
and help to save the country, by voting once
for Democratic ticket, as l intend to do.
fully reciprOcate your kind expressions
of personal regard, and subscribe myself.
Very truly yours, LESLIE CooMBs.
