the Federal GOVernment to respect and uph0ld
the enslayement of Black Unonists by White
rebels, can be really, earnestly, intelHgentty, in
favor Of maintaining the Union.
A Unionist was last April in conversation
with Col Bragg Of n. c., now Gen. Braxton
Bragg Of the Confederate Army. Says Bragg:
ave are sure TO beat you. al Of cur Whites

"labor, while only part of your Whites can
Eight, for most Of you will have to work.
" Slavery will enable us TO conquer you. -
OF course, that was an exaggeratiOn; but has
it not basis OF TRUTH And are we fighting
in earnest, so long as we concede the uncOn-
tested and absolute use of those -Four Millions
Of Blacks to the Republics deadly enemies
The Nation has already made great sacrifices
to insure the loyalty of Kentucky. Kentucky
ia now Invaded and in danger OF subjugatiOn
by the SecessiOuists. How many of her One
Hundred thousand Union Voters, do you sup
pose, have taken up arms in their own defense a?
Not nearly so many, we can tell you, as her
Fifty Thousand Disunionists have sent to join
her invaders. OF the many thousands of choice
Muskets aud Rifles that President Lincoln, ia
the goodness Of his trustful heart, sent to arm
her Unioni.ts for their own defense, at least
two are this day doing service in the armies
of JEFF. Davis for every one that has been
shouldered il defense Of the Union. And her
leading Unioni-.s are now calling franticaly for
soldiers, more soldiers to be hurried in by the
hundred thousand to save her from immediate
subugation. They do not expect her to do
much toward saving herself, while they admit
that she contributes heavily toward her Own
subugation And all this Notwithstanding her
gratitude for the Presidents oyerrulng OF
Gen. Fremonts Proclamation.
Can there be any use in shutting our eyes
to such facts OR can any but the treason

stand that it means to create a diversion in
favor Of JEFF. Davis and his fellow-traitor,.
Others who indulge in like untimely yapOring
may not mean the same; but that does not vary
the effect.
Our correspondent well says that, if We were
to patch up peace with the traitors on
the basis Of Disunion, we should soon DO again
at war with them. Such peace would be
Only less huuilating than conquest and sub
iueation Of the loyal States by the rebels,

force on us such peace, and fresh war
