The Bon. Joseph Holt true son Of the uatoa-sor Ken
lucky Gao no longer claim him, whose frmness and deyo
ton have made him universally famous met with recep
at the hands OF Kentuck,ans Saturday evening
last But the neutrality shriekers expected neutra
" speech-devoid alike Of Hrmness and reason Ken
tucky's neutrality has proved TO be-hey dsap.
pointed Tho speech was broad sweeping unreserved
and unconditional affirmation Of the Speakers devotion
the Union, and his determination at all hazards TO him
self, 70 uphold It, But important fact, which the
speech and the occasion revealed feeling among the
Union men Of this city, long suspected and limited at In
aformer letter. And that is their opposition TO the pre-
sent status Of the neutral position Of Kentucky The
almost undisguised prostitution Of this policy by the
disunioniss has completed revolution in the minds Of
the devoted Internationally to the Union and they
intend to discard 1t.
In referring to it, Mr. Holt in the most unqualified terms
and the most cutting sarcasm condemned and rdcued
the policy and the position which the State bad been
put by her politicians. II had mlsrepresepted her, had
TO sacrifice self respect and the respec, her
sister States for present safety. precedent had been
established dangerous in the future, and instead OF
securing her safety she had only postponed the hour Of
her peril.
The cheers Of approval all this took the more prom
nent politicians by surprise They had felt the necessity
hue but that the OF the people had arrived at the
same conclusion they did not suspect. They bad no,
dared mention IL in the public prints, though they
the osunionsls fast pushng them from that position.
They feared TO be misunderstood by their party But
tn speech served as an occasion for tho people, by
o. applause 10 reveal the fact they approved the
remuneration Of the unworthy policy
