hero are quite bold and defiant, but
like all other places have visited in
this State, if met in bold, firm and

easily sileneed. There are about
five hundred Union men in this coun-
ty,good and true, but unfortunately
va few who once voted with the Union
party have grown weak kneed.s and

were never. regarded as reliable at
any time, but were quite as likely to

never a word is said by them against

It may be of interest to your read
ers to learn what figure the third
party will cut in this State. Some
have supposed that it would recruit
its strength from the Union ranks,
Diligent inquiry will convince any
S one that it is not so. True, a few
who have always been regarded as of
doubtful fidelity to the great Union
cause, but acted with the party on
one or two, occasions, are now ready
to go where the least danger is to be
found; but the strength of that party
will consist of moderate men from
the Democratic side Up to the 10th

movement only fit for idicule, but in

effect of the movement, SO far as it is
attended with any, is to aid those
q most implacable enemies of Kentucky
and free institutions, the Radicals.
The third party proposes to recruit its
forces, not by assertions from the
Radicals, but by the accession of such
as are opposed to Radicals. So far as
y its influence goes it will divide the
conservative vote. In this way the
third party are now really effeeting

went squarely over and planted them-
selves upon that revolutionary and

Congressional district: A Democratic
and a Radical candidate comes out,

tive vote with the former; does not
