ltisez Din Difficulties in Having Peace zs
llo- One Of the greatest difficulties In the wa,
OF preserving the peace in Kentucky, and o
causing her influence to have its prope
weight towards settling the civil war, is thi
distrqst which exists amongst her prominsn
men. ,o.Fi 5ravo,, ~. In. ~ - -t.7.,.
have heard members Of the Legislature
and others say repeatedly that they could
and would, sustainy by voice and pen, the
so5 called Grover resolutions, and take tn EN-
as platform on which to condust canvass
If the Democrats or Southern Rights men
Gas Union men cali 'them1 would let the
Union men select the candidates for the

CANT agree to allow the Union party to fiji

deceiving the Democrats, and In getting the

and is working ruin to all hopes of saving

IN en- W ho would trust their neighbors in
ord mary times with their lives, heir liber-
ties, and everything they hold dear, are so
filed up and Blinded by party venom, they
can see nothing good in any one who does
not think and act just as they want them to.
O Trelye may it be said, that the: Almighty
has permitted the devil to smite US in such
way, as makes US look only for folies aud
vices in the conduct of our friends, and not
toefbe able to see anything of virtue or of
honor. af -isEt zr.Gs9I -+N 3 .lstL @ ..iE
The Union party say, if the Democracy
succeeds in getting power in Kentucky, they
will so manage as to make Kentucky throw
her Influence in favor of the permanent de-
struction OF the Union, and therefore they
should be kept from even being candidates
for the Offices, much less from holding them.
That party, therefore, calls in bayouets to
keep Democrats from being candidates; not
thinking DOR feeling that this. of itself, de-
stroys the vital principle of the Government
under which which we have lived. ....,
The Democrats say the Union men, in
heir great desire to hold and keep the off !.
ces,l ,luot only have men filling military and
civil Offices at the same time, which are in
com patti BILE, but they are, while pretending
to oppose the unconstitutional and ruinous
acts of the Administration, giving the men
and money OF Kentucky, and all her State in
fuepce, to the support of those very-uneon-l
stilutiopal measures they condemn.
II what the Union men say is tue as re-.
CARDS the present leaders of the Democratic
party. then will the rank and file be most
terribly abused; for do know that there is
not one with whom have conversed, acting
with ths party, whose openly expressed de-
sire is not to restors the Uniou if it car be
done They telisve that war cannot restore
it, if the Republican party intended it should
be restored; and that party say boldly they
intend it,never shall be done. ...~.o -.-,-
If what the Democrats say of the Union
party is true that party has not only acted
falsely to pledges heretofore mad as regards
the course, Kentucky should take, aud then
made their boasts of the wrong. but they are
Intending to uphold aud sustain Mr.. Lincoln
in carrying out his subjugation of the South,
even il. the present Government and Consti !
tuition are overturned and destroyed.
The Democratic party say, moreover, that
the present Union leaders ought not to be
again elected, because they tamely submit
to seeing tn cir citizens wTonged and despoil-
ed Of their propsrty-their houses, families,
and persons outraged-thev laws Of their
State trampled upon and disregarded by a
soldiery under the command of Mr.. Lincoln
and his officers, and do not SO much as raise
a7voioe to protest against the outrage.
They do lot even try to susta in, and sup
port those officers in command who are de--
siTous of obeying the laws Of the land as
against the military desposisln set up over
Now all these accusations, with the owl
dences for and against, are before the people.
There may be, no doubt is, some foundation
on which to rest the charges against some of
the leaders on both sides. -
JnThese charges are not true as against the
mass OF the people belonging to either party.
They may be inisled by leaders, but they
have 30 personal ends'to be subserved as the
leaders have. r.
