Hon. Joseph Holt on Kentucky's
Position

A committee of citizens of Buffalo visited
Niagara Falls on Friday last for the purpose
of extending to the Hon. j. Holt an invita-
ton to deliveran address in their city. Mr..
Holt was forced to decline, inasmuch as he
was compelled to leave the Falls on Saturday
morning for Quebec.
Judge Holt in replying to the invitation,
after acknowledging the compliment paid
him, says:
avail myself of the occasion to say that
the recent attitude of Kentucky cannot bul
have clouded her reputation before her sisters
of the Union. 1t is proper, however, to state
that this position was assumed for her, by
her public men, at time when the popular
sentiment of the State was unknown, eand
under the pressure of patriotic apprehension
that a more decided stand at the momen
might have disastrous, if not fatal, conse
uuences. That time with its apprehension
has passed away, and believe the proof Of
Kentuckys loyalty is now complete. Tha
this loyalty will endure to the end ofthe fear
full strugglein which the Republic isengaged
/ cannot permit myself to doubt. Very sool
events will occur in that proud commonwealth
which will show that she is full Of brave men
who value far less their fortunes and thei
lives than they do that blessed Union, which
as it is the common property, so it is tn
common hope and glory of us ALL

Judge Whitman of Lancaster on the
War.

The Lancaster Union, in its report of the
Democratic Convention in that county, gives
the following report Of the speech of Judge
Whitman, who is Democrat and patriot:
Now came the grand and triumphant
struggle Of the true Democracy against the
Eagle clique, the former calling loudly for
Whitman. and the latter for Medill Whit
man responded to the call of his friends like
a hero, mounting the speakers stand in ad-
vance of Medill, and causing the latter gen
teman to give back Here again the sneak
ing fedglings Jeffries, Kistler, Slough and
Baker tried tn cry the .Iu lge down, but their
efforts failed, aud the Judge soon gave them
to understand that he was not only Demo-
crat but patriot; taking the ground that
the Secessonists brought on the war and
alone were responsible for it, denying the
proposition made by Trump, Bnrstler, and
Olds, that this was an abolition war, carried
on to uphold the Chicago platform and lib
crate the slaves taking grounds with the
venerable and patriotic Crittcnden, that the
war was to maintain the Constitution and the
Union. The Judges theory is no compro-
mise with rebels while they are in arms
against the Government The Judge was
frequently interrupted and treated in very
unkind manner BY men who scarcely know
when they were born; or who was the last
Democratic Governor.

fence. This movement the men greeted
with shouts Of derisiye laughter, and three
cheers for JEFF. Davis" They were sub
sequently granted the required furlough,
and order reigned in Warsaw" After
reaching Washington, it was found necessary
TO divide this regiment, and station portions
Of it at different points.
The following is another specimen:

sickening accounts Of the murders and rob

are perpetrating on the Southern people
Innocent women and children are shot on
their own door-steps, for wearing what is
called Secession bonnets No wonder
the Northern people run, when the honest
men Of the South march toward them.

per, says Of the Ohio Eagle: n. ----I
The editor of the Eagle rejoices secretly at
every reverse of the Federal forces, and
were it not for congenital cowardice, he
would publicly proclaim any sentiment
which would distract and humiliate an army
led by the Apostle Paul, or any other man
having inscribed upon its banner the Union
of the States, the preservation Of the Con-
stitution and the enforcement Of the laws.
We are happy to say the Ohio Eagle is

Eagle as Democrat. r,) i bea

A Renaissance.

The following letter was written by
Senator Chandler, of Michigan, to Gov
ernor Blair, Of the same State. AT its
date the memorable Peace Convention
was in session at Washington. To this
convention the republican Legislature Of
Michigan had refused TO send delegates

when it seemed that it might adopt meas
ures calculated to restore the Union and
prevent war, that Senator Chandler wrote
10 Governor Blair, urging that the Legis
lature of Michigan should reconsider theil
former action, and send delegates to the
convention, for the cypress and sole pur
pose Of preventing the adoption Of any
measures Of Cancellation. 'a

REASONABLY" Disrespectful.

Advocating mob law and suppression
of tho freedom of the Press, the Grand
Rapids Eagle asks:
"Suppose Congress should pass a law
furnishing the use of opprobrious, indie
cent and malignant epithets toward the
government, or any branch thereof, or
furnishing the ISLANDERS Of partisans, upon
sufficient proof that the questionable ar
ticle was Islander, would that be abridg-
ing the freedom, of the press any,"
That would be virtually the odious al
len and scdition law, resuscitated. Our
Michigan Legislature tried to pass such a
law last winter, but failed in the attempt.
In the same column, in feeble article,
calling upon the government to hang OF
kill all of those taken in battle, it uses the
following very complimentary language
toward Mr.. LINCOLN:
at is said that the Cabinet have beer
discussing the question Of the disposal o.
the captured pirates. Wo are sorry there
has been any discussion of the subject
1t is an old maxim that sOhen sOomar
stops TO argue she is lost"
Had any democratic journalist in thi'
State compared the President to an ole
woman, it would be looked upon as trea
son. But what are considered indecen
profanities, in democratic prints, are trans
formed into standard republican ethics
when coming from the mouths of thos'
speaking by authority.

THE WAR.

The only new feature in the War, that
we can gather from our exchanges of any
practical Importance, is tho report of a
quarrel among the leading rebels, Toombs'
as leader, in sympathizing with Georgia
and North Carolina, against JEFF. Davis,
on the ground that Davis is virtually aJ-
negatiag State and Individual rights by
his despotic course. That looks all right,
if true. "The South only can conquer

night last, about ii o'clock, fire broke
out from the kitchen of the Western Ho-

the passenger Depot of the Detroit 81
Milwaukee Railroad. The Western Ho-
tel was entirely consumed. The fire
spread rapidly and consumed Hotel oc-
cupied and owned by E. ANDRES, and
an adjoining shoe shop. Probable loss
$4,000 to $4,000. Partially insured
and thus this heavy loss will not be en-.
tirely borne by the occupants. The
prompt efforts of those who worked prob
ably saved the fine passenger depot, be-
longing to the Railroad Company, from
destruction. Had there been much wind
that night, all efforts would have proved
unavailing TO protect that building from
destruction. 1t is with sorrow and shame
