Is jeff Davis Dead Z?

There are conflicting accounts yet as to the
fate of JEFF. Davis. While it is certain that no
one at the North knows whether he is dead or
not, it is equally certain that no one cares. Our
only objection to having him die a natural
death is that the gallows would be cheated out
off just dues, JEFF. is worth more for hang
ing purposes than anything else.

LOUISVILLE, June q.
Ii is generally conceded that the Union can
didatcs for Congress are chosen in all the Dis
tricts, except No l. where MIR. Burnett is IN
doubtediy eIected.-Ieicgram
We are glad it is no worse we are gricged
it is no better. There is much treason in Ken
lucky that goes under the name of Unonlsm
The keynote Of much of the Union music in
kentucky is compromise, and We have noticed
that those who practice with that "pitch,
much more readily and surely end with seces-
sion - variation " than wiha patriotic flourish.
Mr. Crittenden is one Of the model Union
men Of Kentucky, and recently in speech de-
tning his position as ;. Union = candidate for
Congress,
Declared that, in his judgment, every means
should be res0rted to- to restore the blessing Of.
peace, to preserve the Union, and to hand down
unimpaired the noble institutions which have
come down to US halowed by the sanction of eur
revolutionary fathers. To that end he declared
first, that the Southern States should present to
Congress, when ii meets, fair statement Of the
grievances under which they labor that, when
presented. the Congress of the United States
should promptly grant full measure ofledress
for those grieyances:and that if Congress should
moi do so, he would not vote one dollar for the
war If the South should fail to present their
grievances, then the North should promptly
c0ncede such assurances of redress as were Just
10 the South all other means should be used
that would maintain the Union. preserving the
Government, and putting a period to the unnat-
ural war in which the country is now involved.
In the event that all the means employed for
this patriotic and noble purpose should fail,
and the war should rage on, then he was of the
opinion that Kentucky, posing herself upon
her proud position of neutrality, should sum-
mon all her judgement and reason, and discar-
ding all passion and prejudice, should decide
for herself what position she should assume.
lie declared that sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof and that while he was now, I'M
der the continually shifting scenes of politi-
cal drama, prepared to say what position Ken,
lucky should occupy in the contingency men.
toned, he would be prepared. as native and
loyal son of Kentucky, to follow her destiny,
be it what it might
That is very plainly for the Union-with an
it, lie regards 8 neutrality y as proud
position" And if this is the kind of Unionism
that has t-izmphed in Kentucky i, is a triumph
that can give the Government little comfort,
and no strength.
