Kentucky.

Inc hlcnmOnu ltnaeS dlScOurScS on
tue result of the Kentucky election
rs follows:
In one of the most powerful OF the
border States, the apparently mori-
bund Democracy have come to life
with roar which has greatly dis
turbed the somewhat hasty coroncr's
inquest which was solemnly prepar-
ing q verdict and assigning reasons
for the death of that grand old party.
From the old Wing Admiral's flag
shlp-yes, from Kentucky-the It'd
ings of Il splendid victory won by
conservatism over Jacobinism has
gone forth to gladden. despairing
thousands, and to denote, as did
Noah's returning dove with its olive
branch, that the food of radicalism is
receding. 1t was but natural that
the shores of Kentucky should first
show subsistence Of those dark,
bitter and poisonous waters of which
the people of the border States have
been forced to drink so deeply.
The Democratic triumph in Ken
tuclly, which has swept in its candi-
dates by majority Of 10000 or
10000, was in no sense an old
fashioned, narrow, commonplace vic
tory of Democrats over Wings. At
the conclusion of our unsuccessful
war for national independence, old
party lines had totally disappeared,
but frightful military despotism
reigned there. Neutral in the early
years of the war, Kentucky became
loyal during its progress, sent some
10000 volunteers into the Federal
army, and did wholesome business
in mules, horses, hogs. cattle, hay
and "disinterested" patriotism. Her
"loyalty" was gratefully and appro-
priately rewarded by the emancipa-
ton of her slaves by Yankee Brica-
dierGeneral, and the enforcement of
martial law within her Uniou-lovinc
limits.
There was no attempt during the
war to interfere with the liberty of
the ballot-boX in Kentucky, however.
save that there were always soldiers
guarding the polls, and whoever did
not vote precisely rs the radicals
wanted, was at once thrown into iaii
or maltreated in q barbarous manner
With these triiling drawbacks, the
kentuckians had good time of il.
and sent many loyal mules and Union
soldiers to the war.
Last year, under the influence of
that absolute independence which
radical bayonets are SO apt to secure
when presented at the breast of the
sntfragan, Kentucky cast about one
thirtieth of her whole vote and went
with the radicals. The other dav.
however, not having tho persuasive
eloquence of Palmcr's bayonets be-
fore their eyes, they turned out ca
maSSe and utterly exterminatcd radi-
callsm in kentucky That party will
long remember old Daniel Booue's
clark and bloody ground as the
scene of one of the first disasters
which mist sooner or later ovcrwheln,
them.
The howls of the radicals are very
loud over this defeat, and they are
forced to admit that the approaching
election In ''loyal Mary land will be
attended with precisely the same lc-
suits

Monday morning last, our vigilant and ef-

on suspicion that he was OF the gang who
murdered Mr.. Lane, OF that District. Since
then, however, Mr. Green has found on the

prisoner was involved in both murders.
Only about 81 in money has as vet been

RADICAL BOASTS CoNcEhN1SG THE
FALL ELECTIONS. Leading radical
orators aud journals profess to be
very sanSnine of carrying the coming
Fall elections by something like the
Union war-maioritics OF 1864. Thus.
the Chicago T'ib'ue prophesies that
they will carry Ohio by 40, 900, In
diana by $4,000, Illinois by 5000,
and all the Western States East of
the Rocky Mountains, by an agsrc-
gate majority of over 100000. But
these radical prophets are counting Q
their chickens before they are hatch
cd. The elements Of Il great polit-
cal revolution are at work. The war
IS ended and slavery is abolished, and
the war and the abolition Of slavery
We're the two great issues of 1864,
and they still controlled the elections;
OF 1863, III the absence OF a new or
ganlZatlon of parties upon new
lssncs. Now such an organization is
IN progress. and the parties and
issues Of 1866 will be very apt to re-
suit in general political revolution
in these approaching Fall elections.
The breaking up OF the Republican
party OF the war has actively com
menccu, because the mission Of that
party IS fulfilled, and the new work
OF peace and reunion must go on,
for it is the beginning of political
revolutlon.-Ne'c York HeruIlL
