" Democrats" were Wings OF old
The Northern aud Eastern counties have
generally gone strongly anti-Slavery; the
Southern, Western and most Of tho Central,
have gone pro-Slayery. We presume the SEN
ate is pro Slavery, because of the Senators who
hold over; but we hope for an anti-Slayery ma
jority in the House. A L. 5. Senator Is to be
chosen in place Of Garret Davis, proSlayery. ]
A resolute attempt was made to enforce the
State law which divests those who have aided
the late Rebellion of the Right Of Suffrage; but,
though mildly supported by Gov. Bramlette
and decidedly by Gen. Palmer, military com.
mandant of the district, il proved an emphatic
failure. The Rebels ropid vote 80 they did.
Thus the Ist District (formerly Linn Boyd's)
which elected in 81 Henry c. Burnett to our
Congress, though he took his seat in that Of JEDI.
Davis, though it has twice since chosen Union
lists, because the Rebels didn't vote, now goes
against us overwhelmingly, by the votes of
men who shouted over their victory at Ball Run
and hoped for the Liberation" OF Kentucky by
Bragg's army iii 62. They now take the oath
and vote. on the basis of the Hon. Reyerdy
Johnsons opinion in the Maryland case. Thus

ton in that (Franklin) county:

In another article the same respectable old

of course, the pro-Slayery organs complain
of Military interference at the polls, and We
presume with justice. Gen. Palmer undertook
to prevent voting by Rebels, but he might as
well have opposed a feather to Niagara. He
stopped few at the few polls attended by SOL
diers but this only made the rest more active
and unscrupulous. We suspect that he helped
the pro.Savcry vote, though that was not his
intention. Even of Louisville, where the Mill.

that the election not ffee one-Was virtually no
election at all. We olsO expected this from It. Now
it is a notable fact that there never has been more
impartial unrestrained and peaceable election IN this
CITY than the one on Monday. Everybody In town
knows this to be so. who Is accustomed to watch the
progress OF elections here. The vote was arger than
that cast in April. when the Democracy achieved tho
great Tomppert triumph. And the charge that the

ALI which does not prove that an abortive
effort was not made to prevent ex.Rebels from
voting; but we see no evidence that military
interference helped the anti-Savery vote in
single County or kept one Coppcrhead out of
office. We guess the Unionists of Kentucky
will have to agree that all residents shall vote,
under proper safeguards against colon'er''
