THE RADICALS WANT KENTUCKY
The Louisville Journal says:

THE RADICALS WANT KENTUCKY
The Louisville Journal says:
The people of Kentucky are divided DO
litically into three classes. /. Conserva-
tives. 2. Secessionists. 8. Radicals
| The first class is made of men who stands
on the platform of the q MON party of Ken
tucky,-the platform now familiarly known
in all parts of the country as the Kentucky
Platform. .. - 49,. -. ..- 80
The second class is made up Of the men
who at the outset desired Kentucky to Sc
ce6e, and who tried to carry their desire
into effect as long as even a faint hope of
success remained. As faint hope of sue
cess no longer remains, however, they ia
general have manifest a resolution to aban-
don their hopeless trial. and to -acquiesce in
tho will ofthe State, though they still SYM
pathizs with the rebellion.
The third class is made up of the men
who voted for Mr.. Lincoln in 1860. and of
such other m en- as IN the course of the war
have forsaken their principles and espoused
the party in power; under the influence of
! passion or intimidationor corruption or some
of these incentives combined or all of them
combined. The men last mentioned, the
old followers of CasSius NJ. Clay. and their
allies. are about to organize themselves into
political party, with the view of compe-
/ ting next year for the ELECTORAL vote Of the
State, and subsequently, for the possession
of the State itself. With the very substan :
tisl blessing of the Administration, and the
help Of the Jacabins of Missouri, the radi.
Gals of Kentucky are on the point of stri-
king openly as they have long been intrig
uing secretly for the mastery of the State.
The Chicago Tribuue, commenting on the
above says:
And like the "Jacobins of Missouri !"
they will obtain the mastery of the State ,
| The radicals are nd to carry all the slave
states-including Kentucky. The seusi-
BILE policy for the Journal to pursue, is to
submit to fate with the best grace possible.
The radicals began their operations in Yves
tern Virginia, and it did not take them
long to make State and obtain the mas
terry oft. II is true they enjoyed the very
'su bstautial blessing of the Administration, ,
while engaged at it, but that was right.
Next, the. radicals laid siege to Maryland ;,
and in the FIRST campaign they overthrow
class numbers two-the sece Jssionists. In
the last campaign they routed horse, foot
and dragons, the combined forces of the
Kentucky platform me aud the secession
list, and now have quiet and comfortable
possession of that Stats. The next attack
was made on Delaware. but the resi- lance
there was short and feeble. Admonished
by the fate of the Copperheads of Mary
land, the Kentucky platform men came
down snd surrendered, like Capt. SCOTS
coon, without being fred at. The fourth
slave State to which the radicals laid siege,
was N issouri. Here the battle was long
and desperate. The "substan tial blessings
of the Administration, ;" m ost unfortunately
were given to the conservatives, whe dou-
bIe-teamed with the copperheads, and I'M
der the leadership Of the Blairs, Bates,
Schofeld and Gamble, they withstood the
attack of the radicals for some time. How
ever, like the rebels at Vicksburg, they re
Obliged at last to capitulate. Their warrior
chief, Schoield, has been deposed. A
radical is assigned to his place, and the
81 acobins" VIII have full possession of the
State which they so calamity won, and
hereafter will enjoy the Every substantial
blessings Of the AdmiIistration.'' To the
victors belong the spoils. The next State
for the radicals to conquer, in due course,
would be Old Kaintuck; but we think they
will probably first sublue Tennessee, Ken
tucky will then be like an island in a sea
OF freedom, com plstely surrounded and in
vested, and all chance for reinforcements
cut of. There will be nothing left but to |
surrender at discretion. The Conservatives |
of that State have dore some good in their |
time, but their day of usefulness is past
Like stage coaches. they serve good pur
pose on mud roads; but the radical locomo-
live is placed on the iron track and they
must clear the road or be run over. The
era of universal Liberty has dswned.-I
slavery is doomed. 1t has committed the
crime Of stabbing the Union, and the pen
atty is death. We sympathizs in some re-
'pects. with our conservative contemporary,
but can render it no assistance.
The invincibl radicals, like the terrible
egions of Rome, win all battles they fight
oreak all enemies they meet, capture all
titles aud fortresses they 5eseige. While
lave State remains they will progress from
to conquest; their triumph will
,Dly end when the last foe surrenders.
The following was the fifth resolution
passed at the late grand demonstration of
he friends of Poland, in this city: a.-
