A paper just started at Lebanon,
KY, called the Union Tidettc, openly
espouses all the ultra measures OF the
present ultra Administration The FIRST
number of the PidtSte lies before us. and
il is truly ''precious" document. The
leading article is headed--"I is the Presi.

tutional or Not?" The Editor assuming
the grouad Of Thaddeus Stevens, pro-
ceeds to vindicate that infamous execu.
tive usurpation in all it's length and

pose and condemn it.

uncOiled itself, shot out its forked tongue

We cannot believe that such sheet
has been established 81 Lebanon. The
thing is TO US incredible. We suspect
that some abolition soldiers must have
got temporary possession of the printing
Office at Lebanon. =
II, however, we are mistaken in this sus-
picion, and some impudent abolitionist
has really established such a sheet Al
Lebanon, we hope the Union men of the
vicinity will take care that he at once
sees good and and lawful reasons to un,
establish IL. Whoever undertakes 10
publish q sheet of this description in the
heart of Kentucky, is not only traitor
in principle, but secessionist in fact
