LOYAL OLD KMTuCKY-THE RIGHT SoRr OF
PEACE MEETNG.-In another part Of this paper
the reader will find an interesting report OF the
proceedings of late great peace meeting OF
men OF all parties in the loyal city Of Louis
wife, the commercial metropolis of that infexi-
bly loyal border slave State, Kentucky. In the
State OF New York, and in some of the other free
States in this section Of the Union, we have had
OF late number of so-called peace meetings,
here and there, organized and conducted by
little squads Of desperate politicians and vaga-
bond sympathizers in the cause Of our Southern
rebellion, and at these reasonable gatherings
the recognition of the jeff Davis confederacy
has been the paramount idea. The peace men
of Louisville, of the great slaveholding State of
Kentucky, have been reading these Northern
traitors in the disguise Of peace makers whole
some lesson.
The peace men of Louisville have a direct
and absorbing interest in the subject under con-
sideration which enables them thoroughly to
understand it. And what do they say! Hear
them. Thousands of them in council they de-

we behold in the dissolution of the Union
u remedy for no evil, but an aggravation
of them ALL" that they do not see how
"a substantial peace is to be attained by the
establishment Of two independent governments
within the present limits of tie United States;'
that all sectional parties should be abandoned;
that spirit of '.justce and Cancellation should
inspire all political action" but that the rights
OF the government should not be abandoned at
the dictates OF an armed rebellion"
This has the ring of the true coin, fresh from
The mint and when these Union men of Ken
'ucky further declare that they are unwilling
that any foreign Power shall own the mouths of
the Mississippi or any Of the ports of the United
States, and we are, therefore unalterably op-
posed to the dissolution OF the Union" they
disclose reason for their loyalty which cannot
be answered without changing the course and
he outlet of the Mississippi. The whole series
OF these Kentucky peace resolutions we submit
TO the careful digestion Of our smooth and
hypOcritical Journal Of Commerce; our pious
and weeping jeremiah, the Hon. Ben. Wood

Nassa Greeley, and to he special consideration
of Dean Richmond and his reasonable runp of
the Albany Regency.
In the last of these Louisville resolutions the
people concerned declare their sympathy for
Missouri, "over whose territory great army of
invasion (SOuthern rebels) and of coercion is
marching, Notwithstanding the vote of her peo-
pie SO recently for the Union" which is well
putt for in this rebel invasion of Missouri. in
contempt of the repeated popular elections of the
State in favor Of the Union, the most stupid
secessionist can discover the blacklist ingre-
dents Of a military despntism.
We like these peace resolutions of this Union
meeting at Louisville. The good people of
that city are in the very best position to know
all about the drawbacks and disastrous copse-
quences of dissolution of the Union. and they
will, therefore, listen to no propositions of
peace demanding separate Southern con-
iederacy. When such are the sentiments of the
people of Louisville. it is somewhat remarkable
hat New York should furnish two or three
newspaper organs in the interest of this Southern
rebellion, the recognition of which would be
fatal to the liberties of the North and the South,
and the beginning of Mexican anarchy.
