We announced on Thursday last the success of the
" Union Democratic ticket" for State officers in Ken
tucky and the election Of the nominees of this party
Congress in nearly all the districts. Gen BRAMLETTE
the candidate Of the Union Democrats" for the office of
Governor, opposed by the Hon. C. A. Wicklife the
nominee Of the Democrats The two candidates equal
y proessed all glance to the Constitution and Union, and
equally svowed their opposition to the radical measures
Of the Administration in the conduct of the war Gen.
Bramlette, in speech delivered few days before the
election thus stated the points of agreement between the
two parties:


The evils resulting from the acts of the Federal Ad-
minstraton desire to correct by the ballobox We
may not accomplish this soon in the present distracted
dtion of country The withdrawal of the Senators
and Representatives from eleven States lost the power
to control for the prosecution of the and
placed in the hands OF majority opposed to We
are to these measures apd SO are our opponents
We WISH while putting into operation every peaceful
of correction to correct them by CERTAIN rsdi-
cal and perfect remedy but they avoid the sue; aud if
they mean any thing BY the cry Of no more men and
more money, they mean surrender to the Dunsderacy,
and take roundabout way to soy that accession shall
vail This Is axiomatc, for are all agreed in opposi-


ton to the suspension Of the writ Of habeas corpus the
coDscription BILL the emancpat proclamation the


scaton bill, and the armiDg Of negro regiments We all
desire to get rid of them"


The point upon which the two parties differed it will be
seen was to the support they should give to the war
the Union Democrats" being in favor Of its vigorous
prosecution in order that all obnoxious war measures
might the 10 end in the end Of the war
if they gould not be corrected by public opinion
speaking through the balotboX and the " Democrats
proper being in favor OF Withholding all supplies of men
and money FRI the Administration until these radical
measures !" shall be reversed
