KENTuCEY.-The extreme abolition measures of
the Lincoln administration the Louisville Journal
says changes the whole aspect Of the contest from
the relief of the oppressed people of the South to
war of conquest subjugation and assassination -
Kentucky will not stand this. The wonder is that
her people should have SO long been nised by the
Journal What else could sane men in the South
expect but robbery, subjugation and assassination
from the Lincoln government after its repeated de-
claratons and its uniform conduct for the last six
months. We hope Kentucky will now have her
eyes fully opened, and that she will rally as one
man to the banner of the South - -.-.,. . ....s

strikes as being judicious at the present time =
Whether we ought to concern ourselves about free
trade before there is absolute certainty of raising the
blockade by England, is dubious. 1t will be time
enough to talk of abolishinS duties when there is
a chance to collect them: ..' --
1t is understood that Congress is considering the
proprety of abolishng all duties for ixel period,
or during the war The term of five years has been
mentioned The obi ect is stimulate foreign YES
sells to the blockade. We not satisfied that
the proposed action would have the desired effect
The inducements at present in the very high price
which certain articles command in our Confederacy
are very great-and throw out of consideration al
most entirely the petty duties Imposed. But per-
ha2s no serious evil could result from the abrosa-
ton OF duties for short time-Say twelve months,
and the effect in that time might be tested.
But We can imagine very serious objections to
pledgng ourselr es to absolute free traGefo term
as long five years. or during the war. By making
the suspension of duties commensurate with the
war, it might happen in future complications With
foreign powers, which may become parties to the
war; that 1t might be their interest for the sake OF
Of that free trade prolong the war; And in the con-
tingency Of the war ccasiHg soon, period of five
years might prove very embarrassing to our finances

upon direct taxation, will prove desperate expe-

1t strikes us the safer policy, not to bind our
selves for a longer time than year. If the ex-
pertinent proves successful, it may be continued
