From tho Louisville Journal, Sept II.
The subjoined correspondence speaks for
itself:
Washington, Sept. II, 1861.
My DEAR SIR hasten TO place in your
hands the inclosed correspondence with the
President of the United States. The az
ton which he has taken was firm and de-
cided, ard must prove satisfactory 10 the
friends Of the Union in Kentucky
The act of Congress alluded to was a
necessity under the Circumstances and ,yae
fully justified by the usages Of civilized
warfare. The government has the same
right to conhscate slaves engaged in dig
g'ng trenches or mounting guns for the
rebels that 1t has to coHfi-cate their arms
when captured during the progress Of the
war; but having confscated them, Con.
gress goes no further. Upon this law the
president stands firmly, and in doing so.
and IN disavowing Gen. FremOnt's procia-
nation, he gives another Of the ever multi
plying proofs that the war, which Is one for
nationel existence, does not seek to extin-
guish or interfere with slavery as estab-
lished in the States. IL this institution
suffers de1lment from tie events or issues
Of the rebellion, the blow will come from
those who, under the pretence of defending
IT. are striking at the life of a government
under whose constitution it has enisved
complete shelter and protection for three>
quarters of century
The occupation of Columbus ty armed
Tennesseeaus, under the leadership Of B,sb.
Op Polk and Pillow, has excited no surpriss
here, where the uuscrupu .ous charscterand
ultimate aims of the rebel chieftains are
well understood. So long as Kentuekv
maintained that most illusory of ali stti-
iudes-neutrality-an carefully guarded
an extended and exposed portion of the
frontier of the rebel government: in a
word, 50 long as she subserved the purnoses
Of the conspirators seeking the oyertbrow
OF the Republic, and gave reason To hone
that she would finally unite her fortunes
with them, she was gIaoiously let alone
D. soon, however, as she declared her low
Gity to government to which she is in
deSted for all her prosperity, and to which
she Is united by the most solemn ties Of du
'y, of affection ard Of interest. her soil il
ruthlessly invaded, and. under the prornnt.
Hgs and guidance of traitors in her own
bosom, her vote at the polls is now 10 he
reversed by the bayonets Of TeBnesseeaps
and the proud old Commonwealth reduced
to the condition Of conquered province of
that political PaudemoRium called the
Southern Confeieracy. Those who have
read her history AID know the spirit of her
people can have no fears as to the result of
THIS audaeicns assault upon her honor and
independence. The government here will
give all possible support to the State at the
earliest moment practicable.
Very sincerely yours,

The No Party Cry.

The Aurora Beacon one of the abless ed
tied and most independent Republican pa
pers Of the country, quotes the following
from Senator Douglas last speech to prove
Il at lie was in favor of aband, n ny party
organic atoms and platforms:
whoever is not prepared to sacrifice
party organizations and platforms on the
al'ar OF his country, does not deserve tie
support and countenauce of honest people y
While we admit that if the preservation
OF our country required the sacrifice Of the
Democratic organization and platform, it
should be done, Mt the same time we have
NJ idea llat Senator Douglas meant what
the Republicans claim that he did He
could have no fears of injury to the country
from the Democratic platform, for that
IS dead letter as far as the admiuistra-
ton Of the affairs of Government is concern
ed. The Democracy have no political power
aud therefore nothing to sacrifice. 1t was
the President and his party whom Senator
Douglas called upon to sacrifice their "par.
ty organization and platform" upon the
altar of their country.
Senator Douglas had no fears IF the
Democrats platform, for on and by that
the country has been preserved from the
commencement ofthe Government down to
Abraham Lincoln's Inauguration. 1t is the
Chicago platform and thesectional Repub-
hcan organization that must be sacrificed
to save tho country from destruction.

Speech of Rev. Charles Button

The Rev. Charles Button, Chaplain of
the 2Oih Illinois Regiment, has been spen-
ding week at home in this city. and at the
request of numerous friends, addressed our
citizens at the Court House, on last Thurs
day evening, giving the experience of his
three months of camp life, and his views
on the war
AT an early hour, the large hall was
crowded with people. all anxious to hear
from the brave young men who have gone
to fight the battles of our country. The
reverend gentlemen soon made his appear
ance and commenced his speech. All was
attention lie spoke for nearly two hours,
giving an Interesting hist Dry of the condi-
ton OF affairs in Missouri and paying a
hlgh compliment to the officers and soldiers
of tho Regiment of which he is the respec-
ted Chaplain. lie said the Regiment was
acknowledged TO BE the best disciplined ou e
in the Missouri service, and was 10 fine
condition. But Eve deaths had occurred in
the Regiment since leaving this CITY. and
the health had been remarkably good, con
sdering the climate and manner of life
which the soldiers are obliged to encoun-
ter.
Mr. Button appears to be deeply interested
in the welfare of the Regiment, and attach.
ed to the ofhcers and men. The Goth is
indeed fortunate in having so worthy a
Chaplain to look to their welfare.
