GOVERNOR BRAMLErTE's vIsIr-PoLlTIcAL AF.
FAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
Governor Bramlete's visit to Washington occasions
many among those who attach great significance
to unmportant events Believing his State to be msun-
derstood and misrepresented is probably that he
is here partly to contradict of the unfounded
mors In circulation and to the authorities that
difficulties need be apprehended concerning the negroes
within its limits He thinks there not five thousand
voters in Kentucky opposed to emancipation The appa
rent opposition he asserts to be wholly due exraneous
Neither is there any respectable number of ndi
vduas in the State arrayed against the Presidents plan
Of reconstruction. Mr. Harvey Of the Louisville Demo
crdt is almost alone in his opposition but Kenuckans
are divided as to methods of aboshing slavery
When the present State constitution was formed its
trainers intended TO pepetuae the institution and placed
out Of the power Of any majority to legally abolish
slavery by amending the constitution In less than six
years, and by then guaranteeing compensation the
owners The present Legislature will probably
flank movement the institution, declare it worthless
or an incumbrance, and pass the constitutional amend
ment The families Of negro soldiers have been uni
formly liberated in obedience to law. The general drift
of kentucky politics is finally in the right direction and
the indications that Governor Bramlette, General
Rosseau, Green Clay Smith and other opponents will be-
tho warmes Of political bedellows at no distant
day -x.s..-.-~<s----
