New-York daily tribune., 1861-09-11

on, State haze SO emphaticay condemned them a. three
nonular elections This prs.yerfui hope foT the res
oratiop of peace il coupled with the meet dishonorng
concessions, which it is ssked that Kentucky shall
make, and the United States Government sanction.
They are asked 20 permit the Retes 20 dictate the
conditions OF peace, and ae implofed 20 surrender
every high principle TO the denands Of the faction
which has brought all 'bis misery upon the country.
There is sublime npudence also in the efforts Of a
threedefeated but factious minority, to compel the
victorious majority to shape all action 10 its rule ana
gauge. There can be no peace the terms proposed
and Kentucky viii fight against them 10 the bit'er emo.
And yet The Woman here, Msgoin's organ says tna'
whatever fate may await the resolutions IN the oenae'
DR. johnson has made for himsefs noble record ID
offering them, which viii bear he rsme 70 pos
terty as one of the few, the immortal names 'hi'
were not born to de- 1t 10 more than probable tna'
this was intended for a compliment but II SOUNDS very
much like terrible sarcasm.
While our legislators of Secession proclvihes are
thus closing every avenue to loyalty their conederates
among the people are pouring in pehutons ior ihe
preservation Of neutrality for submitting the question
of paying the warax TO the popular VOTE ana are re-
onstrating against the formation OF federai camps I'D
our State They actively fogetful OF the facts that
Tennessee has stolen STEAMBOATS, and the roiing
stock of our railroads. that the money expended in the
war s for the preservation of Kentucky in the Union;
that the Tennessee frontier is dotted with tents in sight
of our State line that recruiting for the Rebel army
has been, and is, openly pracced in our very midst
and that the Rebels have frequently entered our
territory in force to make arrests or con-
fscate property. They can find any number
of counts in their bill of Indictment against the United
States, but have not one word even of the mildest
eensure against those who by their menaeing prepara-
tions have kept our people in state of agitation Tor
a long period of time. This is the Magofin neutrality
which is to carry Kentucky safely and proudly through
all dangers But il is not the neutrality which loyal
Kentuckians advocated until they found 1t too perlous
to trust in the professions OF the Secessopss. The
johnson and Ewing resolutions represent the extreme
views of their respective localities the former living
in Paducah, which il at the mouth of the Tennessee
River and the latter at Russelville in Logan County,
which ia on the Memphis branch of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad and the line OF Tennessee.
But rest assured, when the Legislature of Kentucky
does speak t will be in different language and in tones
of the oitiest patriotism.
The Committees were announced in both branches OF
the Legislature this morning. and they will soon cut
out work. Speaker Fisk of the Senate, who IL acting
Lieutenant Governor, o6ieio, in the place OF Linn
BOYD is q native New-Yorker, which shows that a
Give Yankee" is sometimes honored in this State.
Gen. Anderson and his staff reached here from Lou
isville this morning His arrival has increased the
sense Of security which has been enjoyed ever since
the camps were formed in our State.
