Full Text
The State elections in Kentucky turn entirely on the question of the old and new Court. The late law of the Legislature of the state, 'repealing the law organizing the Court of Appeals, and reorganizing a Court of Appeals,' has been, by these elections, brought before the people, in order that they may decide upon its constitutionality.—To prepare the people for this decision, the newspapers, on both sides the question, have for some time past been unusually industrious. The old Court party, however, as far as the accounts have been received, have obtained great majorities in almost every county; and consequently have returned to the legislature such representatives as will repeal the new law, and thus place the judicial arrangements of the State on their former footing.
