A respectable resident of Baltimore afhrms
that the correspondent Of THE TRIBUTE in that
city represents, in the main, correctly the dIs-
! union procliyities and purposes Of the city, aud
/ that the card Of Winter Davis and his associates

/ they are. He says, however, that if fair vote
lie cast, Winter Davis VIII be reelected.
THE UNION IN KEyTUcKY

for insurrection. They ask for ars. They
say that companies Of true Uaion men are
forming, particularly in the central counties Of
the Southern Tier, and that they will rally to the
defense of the country when AIMED and

politicians Z" The people are right ." ID uniform
~ the tone OF these communications. Such well
como words lend confirmation to the report TO
which we have given currency and which is re-
peated from Baltimore to-day that tho hentuckians
at Harper's Ferry ouly awnis favorable oP'
portunity to return 70 their allegiance. These
letters, however, tell OF Kentuckians who send
