holder, all naotiue for loyalty is withdrawn
except that which lives in his own breast,
while the various inducements to rebellion
are left in active play. In taking the side
Of the Union now, he faces the sentiment
of his caste. This is a shareholders re-
bellion, and the owner Of negro who ad-
here's to the Union must do no less than
fight against his class, his division of socie-
t.. We all know that the atfinities of
slaveholding are stronger than the af1lni-
ties Of religion, which are supposed to be
generally the strongest ties which can
bind man 10 man. Almost every de-
nomination Of Christians in America
has divided in sunder, that the
Shareholders might remain united.
We remember how happily President
Lincoln analyzed this feature of slavery in
the campaign Of 1851 It is no common
degree which can break man away from
such bonds Of fellowship. But if the mo-
tive Of safety to himself and his property
can be placed in the other scale, it will bal
ance in some degree, the affection which
he feels for his class Those who are un-
condidonaly and absolutely for the Union
will not be moved either by Frenont's
proclamation or the Presidents counter
proclamation All, except these in1exible
patriots, suddenly find the external motives
aud influences Of the day drawing them
towards JEFF Davis, and nothing whatever
pushing them the other way. In every
State or community which has ever existed
there have been mulitudes OF persons
! WHOLLY at the control Of such influences,
| and they abound in Kentucky at this hour.
Thus, the plain tendency Of the Presi-
dents letter is, to lead the rebel sympathi-
zers in Kentucky TO take up arms against
tie Government, or at least to give them
the opportunity to do SOTO convert the
| neutrals into enemies,-and to turn the
weaker and less resolute Union men into
neutralf. We speak Of the slaveho1ding
Glass, for whose benefit the Administration
interfered with Gen. Fremont's policy.

We may be mistaken, but We are of the
opinion that Cc1. Fred. Hecker, Of :he Heck

Colonel q the First Missouri Volunteers,
las been arrested by order Of Gen. Ere
mont aud that he is now under military I
luress in St. Louis. We have Tor some
tine beer aware that between the Com
m2ndcr CT Ills Department and Col Blair
a Disagreement Was ripeniDg into bitter
e:rarrr!. IN which the Colonels family and
iH;:n..e political associates were
likely To bc involved; but until yes
:,1~ay ne did not suppose the frank and
familiar intimacy Of the Colonel and
hls superior could be changed into feelings
oi acrluony and Aate, which the alleged
INSTRUMENTATION and the consequent arrest
lsye now developed. The public will be |
lat little interested in knowing the origin |
g: lis unhappy affair; and we would be
glad to be rid Of the obligation to write
int IN relation to it. But We crafty our

quarrel is not the growth ofa day, nor the
zomentary ou;burst Of two hasty tempers-
We'll concealed from all but the parties
Themselves and their most intimate

IN Intensity from day TO day and week to

tory conclusion. The visit Of Mrs. Ere.
mon, to Washington was not without
reference to it; and Montgomery Blaifs
return visit to st. Louis was made spe-
c;ally with q view Of an honorable adjust
r3tat. But neither the wit Of wcman nor
TIT. ccutmor sense Of man had the hoped
Il effect; and yesterday the disagreement
eliminated in an arrest. We express
uo opinion Of the merits Of the
scase, nor do we venture 10 predict
how it will terminate. It is sufficient
10 say that among the Union men of St.
Lcu:s, there is q general disposition to
sustain Fremont and censure Blair. This
IS particularly marked among the Ger
na.s, who seem, says q gentleman who
c.mc up on last evenings train, to blame
