slavery in all the States was uch discussed
in private during the last session ofCongress,
and received nearly unanimous approval:
"To this end the people should remember

As Philiips has brought the party with
which he acts up to his views so far, he
doubtless will mpel them to take the one
step further,--the aanihilat lion of slavery it
self,in al the States both Border and Gulf
States. He proclaims that there must be no
pause until that goal is reached. He labor
ed for nineteen years to produce affdissolu-
ton of heiUnion, aud at thu Federal capt
tai gloried in his success. He now takes
another step forward, and when be- shall
have reached that goal, as he with disparity
undoubtedly will, he wills his stake one
step further, and that WIN be to confer upon
blacks every where the elective franchise
and all other civil and political rights now
enjoyed by the white citizen. M

@Horace Greedy is delighted with the
late Union Convention. He says:
"The fact that large Union Convention
would not listen to opperhead lipeulcations
is one of the most encouraging signs OF the
time. Hitherto abuse of the President aud
unconditional supporters has been prom
inent ingredient of Kentucky loyalty. tits
so no longer" -.,
We want the Journal to make note Of
that. The editor must not abuse the PFest'
dent and his prominent supporters. other
wise he will be read out of the church,
Dead silence or laudation of the President
is what is now demanded as the condition
of loyalty.
We shall not allow the editor ofthe Jour
nal to abuse the President and his support
ers without due notice. ~ Il, r--.-,
We shall still preserve the prominent in
gredient of Kentucky loyalty ourselves.-
Mr.. Edmund Burke once said:
"When thera is abuse, there ought TO be
clamor, because it is better to have our SUM
Der broken By the fre-bell than to perish
amid the flames" .,.-,.5---, '.'
Greeley imagines that Kentucky Union
ism is progressive; that it wilt slide along
with the Administration. We are not oI
that opinion. Kentucky is as much for, the
Union to-day as ever, aud she is as much
as ever against the rebellion; but she is also
against the rebellion at Washington.
Greeley says: -,
"Had Union Convention been held in
Kentucky last autumn it would, doubtless
have denounced the emancipation policy,
threatened revolt lift were proceeded with,
and given all manner of encouragement to
the rebellion. Now it does nothing OF the
kind, but the contrary"
We don't believe Kentucky would have
done last fall any more than her people Will
do now. They will not go into the rebel
lion whilst there is peaceable and .eonst-
tutional way to stop the abuses of this Adj
ministratioD. They would have done nc
more last fall.
The Abolitionists have done their best tc
drive Kentucky out of the Union, and it j
simply now question whether they viii
drive her out, or she drive them out. W.
think that this State has help enough nov
to win in the fight. So let the radicalslool
out. We intend to kick them out OF power
and back to their conventicles, to diges
their spleen in silence, aud not undertake t
rule a country like this-a task they arr
utterly incompetent to perform.-Louisvill
