cl I'M, " Steal away, Morgan !"
Previous to Morgan 8 exploits in the Blue Grass
region, the Anti.Slavery legislation Of Congress was
loosenipg more and more tie attachment Of the So
called loyalls,s Of this State to the Union. How
couli il be other wise Union ever meant to then
but preservation of Slavery" National solidarity
WAS only an object Of their soierude II inclEdine
the integrity OF the peculiar institution. They
that of interest. They never had the clear
ness Of Judgment, the humanity Of conviction
the generosity of heart, that alone could enable
them to appreciate the true causes OF and Tor
bear with the destroying effects OF the Rebellion
upon Slavery. Again, their ingralDed Pro-Slavery
preudices were nonrishcd and excited almost to
fanaIicsm by the agitation OF the Congressional coD-
servaives from their own state ~ well az others,
and the influence of the two organs Of ambiguous
loyalty-1Ae Jotsraai aud Tie Democrat OF this
city. The speeches of the former were fully
seconded by the leaders Of the latter in spreading
dissatisfaction with the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and the North at large-for growing Anti-Siavery
tendencies. Since Morgans descent upon the
stables and barns of slavehoding semi Unionists,
however, the hue and cry" about " Abolition war;
" Abolition Government" "AbolItion Congress"
" Abolition Generals &c, has become greatly
modified. Morgan and Forrest, Instead of Hunter
and Fremont, now haunt Prentice, Harvey, NAL
lory Wad-wortb, and id omne genus. The J0ur-
aai that for weeks Illuminated almost d4ily with
fierce onslanghts upon the Administration and the
Anti. Slavery measures Of Congress, is conning its
denuucialo ions once more TO the kebels Tie con-
yicrion of the hepe.snefs OF Kentucky; her insbil
ity of self-defeDse demonstrated last Fall by the
raid of Buchner, and by that Of Morgan, aud the
natural feeling OF shane at being compelled 10 APP
peal for succor TO the abused Government and reo-
pie OF the Free States, have undoubtedly caused this
change Of tone.
Willie the events Of the last month thus gave
strength Oh the one hand TO the Union sentiment ia
Kentucky, they also impaired, on tie other, new
hope and courage 10 the Secession aympathlzers In
the State. Their number and confidence in the
nj innate triumph Of the Rebellion 10 at this time rs
strong rs ever. After the Union reverses on the
Peninsula, they carried ther crests az high
and as deiantly after the battle Of Manassas.
Since Morgan depredatoDs, however, the popular
an.-kebel excitement again somewhat tanned them
down. In the early days OF last week, treason was
Us freely avowed in Louisville and openly
practl Ell ia some country districts while Buckner
and Breckenridge and Marshall fourished in the
State. But now the traorous mouths III Louisville
are once more closed and the active traitors OF the
Interior hunted down everywhere.

for the day OF the Convention. but the aggregate

Yesterday afternoon, the office Of the D1ry E1-
