We hope and are inclined to believe that
there is some mistake in relation TO the
position Of Gen. Boyle Of Kentucky on
the slavery question; and that his alleged
Share in the persecution Of Col Smell Of
this State, has been Inexperienced or cr-
roneously stated. Gen. Bowie has far
many years been an earnest and active
Emancipatonist, jealous co-worker with
Cassuis II. Clay, and one Of the most Iber-
~ kentuckians that we have ever met
During the agitation in his State, which
preceded the defeat of the secession move
ment, he 1abored with extraordinary zeal
and industry to make the Vaccinations Of
the traitors Intellectual, and at great per-
sonal hazard and ut the cost of great per
sonal sacrifices threw himself headlonr
INTO the bitter fight. When he was named
W the President to lead a Kentucky reei-
n1ent, there was but one opinion among all
his acquaintances as to his fitness for the
command, whether Judged by his animal
courage or moral and intellectual qualit1ca-
uons 1t seems to us hardly possible, that,
during the progress Of the war, witness
rs be has been Of the atrocities Of which
secession is the parent, and Of the undis-
guised purposes Of the slave power, he has
become a believer in the necessity or cx-
ped1ency Of the doctrine that the major
part Of the Kentucky officers hare enforced.
But the vagaries Of the human intellect
when it comes in contact with the dognas
OF man-selling, especially when there is a
stimulus Of pecuniary interest present, arc
unaceountablc; and as Gen Boyle is yet a
slave holder, we cannot be quite sure that
he has not fallen into that slough in which
a acommittee Of our citizens say they found
him. But We hope to hear better things.
For Colonel Smell ne have warm SYM
pahty, tempered, however, by a rccollec-
ton OF his complete subserviency, down to
a very recent date, to the power against
which he went forth to Fl ght. When the |
war began be. and -Royla.svvero un-
doubtedly ut swords points. We know
that the Colonel has seen the errors Of his
former creed, and that he is anxious TO |
make amends for the mischief to which he
has aloretime consented; hut we hope that, |
while he has been attaining a new and |
higher position, Gen. Boyle has not gone
down to-the point whence the Colonel set
out and that they are to-day as far apart
ms when the firstgun was fired. We shall |
see more in relation to this, by and By. Il
