south cannot charge them with an unfriendly

just where the Union party of Kentucky stands.
Look at every v0se In Congress, and you will
ind all the Democrats Of the North along with
the loyal men Of Kentucky uniformly and GER
tainly. They are powerful party In the free
States. They fell Into minority owing to the
faithless conduct of the Southern Democrats by
name, and the equally i'll conduct of the other
party in the South. They adhered to the name
they have never disgraced, and to National
principles they have never abandoned; and why
should not our Union party be with them p
what party In the North, omitting these, can
Kentucky unite with to save the Union and her
interest In itY The only danger to them and US
is, that their hostility to the name Republican
may Fepel from them the aid of men who real.

We don't care fig for names; but we can't
forget the merit Of those who, in the free States,

the friends of Kentucky. They stand by her

right, as We don't doubt 1t will in the next Con.
