KENTUCKY DEMANDS THE WITHDRAWAL OF
SEYMOUR AND THE NOMINATION OF CHASE.
LEXINGTON, Oct. 15.-The splendid victory which
was achieved by the Republican party on Tuesday
last, has thrown a damper on the programme of the
Rebel Democracy OF the State of Kentucky. The
leading Democrats of this city have no reluctance in
saying that Their party must call another convention
and nominate Salmon 7. Chase for President with
Hendricks of Indiana for Vice-President, deem
ing this course the only hope for the
salvation of their party They say that il
movement of that kind is not made the name of
Democracy is lost forever, and the glorious old com
mOnwealth of Kentucky, which stood so manfully on
the ground of neutrality during the late Rebellion.
and has since stood i'll support of the Rebel Demo-
cratic party, will give Grant and Colfax majority
in November. We are informed tonight, by lead
ing Rebel Democrat, that in his opin-
ion the nomination of Seymour and Blair
will ultimately drive the name of Democracy into
the pits of degradation. The Republican party had
one of the grandest demonstrations i'll this city last
night that the people of the blue grass have ever had
the pleasure Of witnessing. Men who fought with
gallantry in the Rebel army participated in its pleas
ures and say that they feel sangine of the election
of Grant and ColfaX. The utmost harmony seemed
to pervade both parties. feel safe in saying that
the Rebel Democracy of the State is dead forever.

TRIAL COMMITTEE.

ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE.
Rooms OF THE UNION REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRALLY
COMMITTEE, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Il, 1863
Republicans Of Pennsylvania:
Yesterday you achieved triumph at the polls
scarcely less important in its results than the victory
of arms on the field of Gettysburg The integrity Of
the Union and the perpetuity of the Republic were
secured by the one, its permanent peace and future
glory are insured by the other. Your verdict
thus pronounced will be recorded by the
American people in November next in a
most emphatic condemnation of the party
false to the country in the hour of its peril
false to liberty and the rights of man. Every lover
of peace and good order congratulates you
on your achievements in stripping such an organiza-
ton of all power to nct future injury on the coun-
try. Henceforth il must sink under the same Obo-
guy that rests upon the Tories of the Revolution and
the Federasts of the war of 1912. Entrusted with
power it welded it for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Republic Confded in by its devotees rs the guar
dian of liberty 1T exered all its energies for the per-
petuity of human bondage. Protesting reverence
for free speech and freedom of tine press it senced
both with the bOwieknife and revolver wherever
it had supreme control. Assuming to be the guar
dian of the rights of man. it became the cham
pion of human bondage, and stood sentinel with
baying bloodhounds to seize and return the
fleeing fugitive and at last, dissatisfied withithe
result of fair election it raised its hand against the
life of the Republic. and Samson-like, would have
buried itself in the ruins of the grandest temple of
liberty ever reared by human hands. 1t is BETTING
that party SCARED by such record shonld die at
the hands of the people whose of justice 1T has
outraged, and whose dearest rights it has tramped
in the dust. Republicans of the Keystone! Your
brethren throughout the Union have watched the
struggle through which you have just passed with
intense interest, and its result gaddens every pa
triot heart Let not your victory dampen your ardor
or relax your energy but march with closed ranks
and solid columns to complete your victory in No
vember. GALUsIh A. GROW,
Chairman state Republican Committee.
