More Radical Thrcatenings.
The people Of Kentucky are gravely
threatened with a horde Of military sappers
aud miners of their peace and civil rela-
topiS for having stuffed or the Radical pes
thence which sought a home In their midst
in the persons OF Congressmen ofthe Freed
mems Bureau persuasion, Puritanical itin-
Grants, &c. In a word, they chose TO turn
their State over to the care Of the Dcmoc-
racy, locally and nationally.
The Cincinnati Gazette has taken the
lead In this game of intimation. Some days
since 1t intlmatcd that should Mr.. HELM be
elected Governor, in the coming August,
by the Democracy, a Congressional inter
ference will deny him the official position.
1t now goes a little ntrther-since the state
has elected, by such large majorities, the
full Congressional delegOtion-and urges
that Kentucky must come under military
domination; and, like the ten s%atrapies. of
Virginia, the Cardinals, Louisiana, &c, be
ruled by such shoulder-strap statesmen as
SHERIDAN, ScHoFIELD and ORD. Maintain
ing that the national government recog-
nizes no such geographical distinction in
liability as state lines, and that, in short,
as Kentucky is hopelcssly Democratic,
Congress should i%ntcrposc. "What is the
remedy :" it asks, aud then addsi
"The same that we have applied to the
rebellion in the other States, to just such
an extent rs may be necessary. First, adj
cquate military protection for persons and
property, and all civil rights against the
oppression and denial Of justice by the re
bel control of the legal powers. Second,
the disqualification of rebels by act of Con-
gress, for all National and State offices.
third, the Acknowledgement of the blacks
every where 10y act Of Congress. The ne
Cessity of this measure to create a loyal
voting people, is as great in Kentucky as In
amy other rebel State. Congress has tile
same power to establish the franchise by
direct act that it has to require the State to
establish it rs a condition of restoration
In this there are three propositions,
which the Louisville Courier thus consid-
ers: The first is TO establish a military des-
potism in the interest of radicalism, under
the pretext Of protecting the minority in
rights in which they are rs absolutely I'M
molested as the majority; the second is to
disfranchisc three-fourths of the white men
of Kentucky, for, be it observed, in Radical
~pdrldnce the terms rebel and Democrat are
synonymous; and the third is to create in
Kentucky "a loyal voting population by
enfranchising the negroes. Such is the
plan proposed by this organ to make Ken
lucky a Radical State. Because Ken
tuckians adhere to the Constitution and the
Government the fathers gave them; be.
cause, approaching the despotic and bale
ful tendencies of Jacobinism, they have ar
rayed themselves against it, they are thus
threatened by this Radical editor.
While at present the Radical Congress.
will not dare to adopt any such attitude to.
ward a State which has never, in any way
sundered her connection with the Fedora
Government, as the gazette in the rawlings o
its malicious anger advises. yet is the arti
Gle before us well calculated TO set peopl
to rejecting, not only upon the lamentablt
condition to which the Radical party la
brought the country, but upon the inevita
bly, destructive tendency of that infamou
proscriptive organization. The minus o
the Gazette is that of its party; and
Radicalism be not speedily checked, it vii
not be long before such measures rs thOs
spoken of will actually be adopted agains
all the States where a majority of the PEG
pie are not ready to fall down and worshi
at the shrine of THAD. STEvENs-beginnin
first, probably, with Connecticut aud Ken
lucky. In view of so great an impendin
evil, it is the solemn duty of every ma
who prefers the Government of WASHING
TON and JEFFERSON to n miserable Negro
Yankee despotism, to strengthen the arr
of Democracy, rs much as he possibly cal
for the salvation of the country.
