The Editor Of the Courier, in HE
last paper, demands our authority for
stating that there are men in the
loyal states, laboripg for the succt So
oi the rebels. We answer, the evil

Rovernment--in their ,f'rts to de
stroy the confidence of tho people in
the officers Of the government ut this
trying period, and especially in their
tenderness toward the rebels them
selves. As q further proof, we give
below tho decla, alton OF Honorable
Joseph Holt, Of Kentucky, in his late
able and patriotic speech in Boston.
This distinguished politician is n
Southern man--has always been a

The following, also, from the
Louisville Courier, the leading 60

out very distinctly the class to which
Mr.. Holt alludes:

that the rebels base their hopes O
