NEW PARTY MOVEMENT IN KEyiUCKY.

From the Lexington (Ky9 Observer September 1871
The recent reckless and foolish attempt to create
sympathy In Kentucky for third party has met
with unanimous and crushing opposition from the
democratic press Of this State, and In order that
our readers may fully appreciate the strength OF
that opposition we make the following brier eX.
tracts from our exchanges
The Bowling Green Democrat says:-'If there
was ever time when The success OF political
party depended upon strict and unyielding adhe-
renee TO principle that time Is the present and that
party the democratic. No new party Is needed, and
we believe that none Is desired by the masses"
The Frankfort Ye0man, after claiming for the
democratic party national organization, clearly
defined principles and that 1t ID fully up to the spirit
OF the age, says''We unequivocally for the in
tegrity Of the democratc party, for strengthening
and unilyng its present organization, for standing
by It's principles, for excluding from Its platform
now, as hitherto, all concessions which involve any
radical change IN the theory OF the republic or any
abandonment OF the cardinal doctrines which have
ever constituted the glory 0S the party"
The Paducah Herald denounces the whole thing,
and says:-"Let every true democrat look upon the
alvocales OF this new party as secret eneInles to
liberty and free government

Men prominent In the democratic party in Texas
write here that there Is prospect that owing to the
division in the republican party IN thai state, the
democrats Will run ticket with John Hancock for
Governor and James Armstrong for Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Both OF these gentlemen are eligible and can
command portion OF the Conservative votes that
would otherwise be thrown for Hamilton, the con-
servative republican candidate. General Sherman
has extended t1e time for holding the election In
1exas to four days. This has been done In conse-
quence OF q telegram received by the Secretary Of
War from General Reynolds stating that under
the local law, there Is but voting precinct In
county, aud the counties being large, 1t wond be
impossible for the voters to reach the precinct In
many instances in one day In time TO vote. On re-
ceivlng this telegram General Sherman Immediately
teegraphed to the President whom he foundt on
inquiry To be at PittshurQ pa stating the substance
Of Reynolds despatch. The President promptly re
sponded telling the secretary that II there was any
provision Of the Reconstruction act jusuyiDg the
extension TO grant It, On examination tue General
found provision for extending the time four days,
and accordingly authorized Reynolds to order The
extension.

Gratis 1t seems have been induiging In a faint hope
eAat Horatio seymour or some other man from the

One little circumstance however, it may be well to
Keep In view. There Is no probability tnat any de-
