national cause in Tennessee for the
blow aimed at the Union men of this
State recoils with tenfold severity on its
own head. Treason TO day is hundred
fold more bold and formidable in Ken
lucky than il was twelve months ago,
and the miserable, time serving policy
pursued by the Journal and The "conserv-
lativs" politicians of that State, is the
sole cause of it. The general tone Of
that paper has been TO embolden the
seeessionists of Kentucky with the con-
Yiotion that tho national cause is fast
becoming odious to the people, This
conviction has become so strong in the
minds Of Kentucky traitors that they

rebel Vigilance Committee would ever
stop the Journal now" 1t is now the
textbook for all who wish TO find ex-
cusss for disloyalty. The arrogance Of

ridiculous IL fancies that its noisy
rattle is the thunder Of JovE, and
so it assumes to "leoiure" everybody
who comes across its path as il staggers
