The writer has been a citizen of Kentucky for fifteen years, but has also, unfortunately, been a Democrat. For this offense he has suffered his house has been stripped of its effects without compensation, his family has been insulted, and he was denied a note in the last election. Federal soldiers guard the polls. He has been arrested frequently and imprisoned, but has always been released without being informed of the charges against him, and without trial. He still holds the Democratic principles, but fears that the "Chicago convention" will cheat them by bringing out a "Lincoln Democrat," and then all hope of restoring the country will be gone. :: I-1-m A.L.
