The kentuckyPIatform.

The democrats profess to be satisfied
with the position taken by the Union par
ty of Kentucky, and yet they sustain such
peace men as YaIlandigham, who will not
vote cent for the war, and would
rather see the Union divided into frag-
men,s than maintained by force of arms
The Kentucky Unionists acquiesce in what
ever damage comes to slavery by the war,
hut northern democrats raise the false out
cry that this is an abolition war, because
the negroes are freed and armed for its pros
ecution. Let them come up even to the
standard of the Unionists of the border
and there will be less reason TO distrust
the soundness oftheir loyalty and patriot
ism than there now is If they fall short
of this for the sake OF retaining the sup
port of such manifest traitors AS Vallau-
digham and the Woods, they must bear the
odtum that justly rests upon them. The
Union platform of Kentucky was we'll de-
fiued in late speech of Mr. Yeaman, re.
elected to Congress from that state;-

the Union party in Kentucky, on erpIat-

who would deny that support, sufficiently
indicates the true position Of the Statc.-

From the Baltimore American.


The masses OF the South are st length
fairly awake to the merits of the terrible
conflict which the Slave Oligarchy have
forced upon them, and are thoroughly
tired of fighting in cause the bruut of
which falls upon themselves instead of
upon the would be ''aristOcrats." North
Carolina, especially, is in u blaze of indig-
nation; and, AS things look now, it may
lie necessary for Lees army to move down
there to keep down sub-revOlutioD, even
if the South is not conquered by the Fed
rral arms. As things are working at
present the Rebels are in promising way
to whip each other
All will remember that famous and
obnoxious "twcuty negro exemption act i"
which, in the outset and heat OF the re-
belliOn, was tolerated with but few wry
faces by the "pOOr white trash" be
cause they had been taught to believe
that it the Government put down the
revolt they would he reduced TO a po-
sitiOn OF equality" with the negro
| tits true that more that a year ago, on his
visit to Mississippi, JEFF Davis felt himself
compelled to put forth, in n public speech,
an elaborate apology for this exemption OF
the rich from the dangers OF the battle field;
but since that time the masses have had
| ample time to con their terrible mistakes;
nave IN cam ana IOrL OOuOtleSS, taken &C.
casion to pry into the manner in which
they have been duped to ruin and destruc
tioH; and the result is an exhibition of I'M
gOveTnHble fury and hatred against their
| lyrAnts at Richmond.
As an evidence Of this We have the re-
| suits Of n meeting held by the people of
| several adjoining counties in North Caro-
lima, recently, at which the following reso-
luton, amongst others in a similar spirit,
was passed:
"ReSolred. That the exemption of the
twenty negro law ought not to have been
passed, as they are the very men that ought
to be in the field fighting to protect their
property, for there is no doubt but they are
the sole cAuse of the war"
What pity, now, that this perception
of the real merits of the contest had not
dAwned upon the poor people of the South
in the beginning, and before tens and hun
dreds of thousands of them had made
themselves the buIwRrk Of the negroes aud
their wealthy masters? How many might
have been at present peacefully abiding by
their own iresides, instead of everywhere
filling premature graves?
But it is something Mt last to find that
the "pOOr while trAsh"-the duped, victim
lied and oppressed masses are in motion,
and the chances are by no means remote
that il JEFF. Davis and his vile crew do not
soon quit Richmond that he may find a
revolution SETTLING up behind him that
will leave him no alternative but that of
"the scorpion surrounded by fire."

AT loyal league meeting in New
York, Tuesday evening, Judge Heirstard
of Louisiana, democrat and slave hold
or, pronounced the slaves of the South
more intelligent and capable of sustaining
u representative government than the
pcasantry in many states of Europe: and
said that there was hardly plantation on
the Mississippi which did not have upon
it some slave who knew more about its
management than his master. He went
for emancipation as means of perma-
nent peace.

The valluudigbam orators in Ohio are
driven to queer inventions to sustain their
cause and candidate. One of them asserted
the other day that President Lincoln has
determined to enforce amaIgamation, by
conscripting n large number of young
white ladies. who will be compelled, nolens
voleus, to accept husbands selected for
them from the black brigade! In view of
this alarming announcement, the suspeu-
sion of the habeAs corpus becomes all the
more significant of the designs of the tyrant
Mt Washington.

the subject Of allegiance, and to whom due
under the Constitution OF the United States,
was profoundly discussed, and it was de-
clared by II majority of the Court of Ap.
peals that the citizens owed allegiance 10
the United States, and unfortunately to the
State under which they lived; that aIlegi-
ance was not now used in the feudal sense,
arising out of the doctrine of tenure, and
that we owed allegiance to both Govern
ments, to the extent of the constitutional
powers existing in each. The Court held
that an oath prescribed by an act of the
Legislature of December, 1893, 10 be taken
by every militia officer, that he should
faithful and true allegiance bear to the
State of South Carolina, was unconstitu-
tlonal and void, as being Inconsistent with
the allegiance of the citizens ofth Federal
Government. The Court consequently con
demued the ordinance of the Convention
of South Carolina of November, 1882, us
containing unsound and horetical doctrine,
when it declared that the allegiance of the
citizen was due to the State, and obedience
only, and not allegiance, could he due to
any other delegated power"

THE following extract of a letter was
written By Maj. Slack, OF the 9th Va. Regt.r
to a member Of the Senate:
IA little fight occurred on last Thursday
some 70 miles from here, that might have
been we'll worthy of notice. had it been
performed by Il man holding higher POI
siIion. Its brilliAuce is enhanced by the
humble position which the actor held
Corporal, Solomon Spradliug, of Co. a, sth
regiment, was sent with 10 men to accom-
pany four scouts beyond Cheat Mountain
aud bring back their horses. After they
had got about Is miles beyond our pickeis,
about as far as they thought. il safe to go,
for they saw rebels in front Of them, they
turned back with the four lead horses
After travelling about one mile on their re-
tuau, they found the road blockndcd by
about 80 rebels.
"They ordered him to surrender. Upon
his refusing to comply the rebels opened
FIRE upon him, at the same time rushing
into the road to intercept him. Spradling
turning to his men. ordered them to charge
through them, which they did in most gal.
liant style, cutting their way as they went.
One Of his party was left on the field be.
tween two dead horses, but was still living
on Saturday. The rebels were so close
that they dubbed their muskct over our
men, slightly bruising two or three Of
them. II was one OF the I'd Virginia boys
that was left, And sixty men were sent after
him to-day. It is regarded here as very
brilliant little affair. SpradIing thinks
they killed several of them. rs they al
emptIed their revolvers as the rode through
at very short range and saw several Of
them fall, but did not see fit TO stop tc
| examine results then"
