read such sentiments from such source,
as the whole tenor Of the authors course,
as well as his old associations, have been
quite the other way. We are glad to
learn that . remarkable change is going
on In the minds Of the gallant Kentucky
soldiers on the subject Of slavery. They
are beginning TO think that too much
Difference has been paid to the 10000
slave holders Of their State, and that the
100000 non-slavo. holders in that nobl,
Commonwealth have a right TO discuss
the slavery question, without being de-
nounced as ga pack OF Aboliiionisis,"
and by pro-slavery politicians, who
would stamp out the discussion as they

The EzPonopts OF tho Radical
Policy.
The illuminating and Oul-nouthed
partisan organs, the Cincinnati Enquire,
Chicago Times, and Louisville journal
are continually brawling against the
radical policy" Of the abolition Admin
istration;" attempting, with characteris-
tic misrepresentation, to excite old party
animosities against the Republican party,
by representing the Democracy as every
whore in opposition 10 the earnest and
severe measures Of the Administration.
This is gross imposition and cheat.
Many of the rebel sympathizers and
apologists who figure at the so-called
Democratic" hastings, never acted with
the Democratic party, but have been its
lifelong vilifiers. Who is Brooks. OF
the New York Eapress2 a bitter FEEDER
alist and Know Nothing. Who are the
editors Of the Louisville .ouyuale The
bitterest of Wings and KnOw-Nothings.
Who are the editors of the New York
Joi0naEof Commerce? Original ultra alb
olitionists. Who is Fernando Wood A
Maine Law advocate. Who is Ohauncy
9. Burr The bully of plug Ugly
Council.
We could swell this list to thousands.
Now look at the other side, and see who
are the advocates of severe and un.
compromising war policy. We find
Senator Wright, of Indiana, Governor
johnson, Of Tennessee, Dickinson and
Brady, of New York, taking the stump
in favor of the war, and in support of
the Administration. We find Joseph
Holt Of Kentucky, on the Same side.
Indeed, the Buffalo Express truly says
that
1t Ia 4 curious fact, that the authors or
conspicuous opponents of almost every
measure, proceeding or course of policy
virulently denounced and opposed by the
leaders and journals of what calls itself
the Democratic party, are Democrats.

which completed itself in the Proclama-
ton Of Emancipation, and in this respect,
as in many others, the politico- military
pion er of the war, is Democrat of the
strictest sect.

the Emancipation Proclamation, and
whose military Abolition" zeal had TO

Edwin M Stanton, Secretary of War,
the b. ad and front of administrative

rests-.the Radical" par excellence of
Lincoln's Cabinet, and the special object
of the hatred Of the party calling itself
Democratic-was never anything but
Democrat.
Gen Ambrose e. Burnside, the squel-
cher of seditious speech in the person OF
Vallandighnm-the "AutOcrat," against

be Democratic fury have been belching
Tor the last week or so-is thorough

These four men are the leading expo

Of conduct against which the party call
ing itself Democratic has raised the
feroest hue and cry of denunciation.
They are all Democrats. Not one Of
them sympsthized with the Admins
tration, politically, at the commencement
of the war The education of each was
Democratic; she principles, modes of
thought and feeling OF each were such
as Democratic association and teaching

Thus we see that the pretended Dem

North is, in the main, vile fraud.
