xORDER-sTATE LOYALTY AND Ma
TIONAL DELIyERANCE.


One OF our Washington dispatches recently
instanred the Hon. JOSEPH HOLT as Ken
tuckan who had become converted to the Pres
idents Emancipation policy, and as earnestly
desiring the preservation of the Union at all
hazards, and no matter at what cost to whatever
should stand in the way, Slavery included.
Whereupon The Times says:

1t is 80 important that loyal men should
fully understand each other, that We make the
above paragraph the text for pretty careful
elucidation Of the vital matter on which diff
ference Of opinion is indicated.
Let IL, begin by concedng that our CORE
spondent's use Of the phrase change of heart
was an unhappy one. Mr.. Holt has at al
times and in every way evnced the most un-
compromising loyalty. When Kentucky was
neutral, (tbough her traitors were mott he was
openly, actively for the Union. He never was
nor seemed to be otherwise.
The " charge" then, which we understand
to have been wrought in his case. as in many
others is one not of purpose but of perception.
He comprehends, we believe, more justly than
he did, the nature. the scope, the oR'D'us, OF
this atrocous rebellion, and thus has attained
clearer and ulster views Of the means whereby
it must be throttled and extingulshed
The simple, naked truth is, that this Rebel
lion is the product the child, Of Human Slav-
cry, and of nothing else. Ii has not on the
face of the wide earth partisan who Is not
also partisan Of Slavery. There was not one
among the thousands OF cOnspirators who Tor
years plotted and corresponded, and eau
cused and established secret societies. The

&c. &c.-to foment and iDaugurate it, who
was not intensely Pro-Slavery. Even the
Direct Trade Conventions, and other public
gatherings in its interest, were impclled BY the
same spirit. But for the blind, besotted, fanat.
zeal devotion to Slavery which, for the last
thirty or forty years, has been sedulously m
culcated throughout the South. and melted to
suppress every adverse expression, i would
not have been possible to muster ten regiments
in all this broad land to fight for the de'trnc-
ton of the Union
OF course we know that Thousands Of The
more intelligent thrifty, prudent, iar-secing
Shareholders stood out against the conspiracy
so long as they could DO so with personal
safety regarding JEFF. Davis as practically a
more effective and dangerous Abolitonist than
Wendell Phillips or Lloyd Garrison. We
know, too, that among the original dupes and
partisans OF Secession were tens OF thousands
Of mere parasites Of the planting interest, with
the adventures, idlers, gamblers, and despera'
does of every shade aud grade, who constitute
70 large a share Of the population Of the South,
especially OF her cities aud Villages. The low
backguards Of the South, who, not being able
TO own negro, are enrapturcd with their
caste privilege of occasionally Kicking one, are
always and everywhere Tar more intensely,
ianstically Pro-Slavery than tie wealthy and
educated aristocracy, WHO. having read aud

The former are more thoroughly products oi

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT And Il is not this hour more
undeniable that Columbus discovered the West
Indies, or that Whitney invented the cotton
gin, than that slavery iomentcd and ucited the

Now, then, AZ to the WAYS and means Of
