What the London Papers say of PRESIDENT Lin

The Springfield Convention iustifies at once
our dlsttust Of It's Geographic abstract and

1t is such as Garibaldi and Mazzini might
have ritten from Rome if events had
placed them at the head of an Italian
commonwealth threatened by a formi-

Kentucky Union Men on Abolitionists Slavery
and the War.

Said Gen. Green Clay Smith, the Ken
tueky Congressman. in late speech in
Ohio :'sMen call this and abolition war--a
crusade against slavery. / here pronounce
it false-I, native Kentuckian." The same
declaration was made the other day by an
other Kentucky Unionist, Col. R. B. Car
penter, 10 speech for Brough, at Carthage,
Ohio Said he:
"Does any one say that am an Adolf
tionist? Why am | an AboIitionist? am
not destroying slavery. Secession did that,
and if the shareholders themselves could af-
ford to kill the institution, why should ob

Without that flag and the great principles
it represents, We shall be poor indeed,
though we possess the whole worll Of

"They tell us that this war was begun

enlist against the rebels. Laughter.
Now, while the Government is threatened
with destruction, and while soldiers are pour
ing out their blood for their country, there
can be but two partes--loyal and disloyal.
The Democratic party was AUST and good
party, but when the rebellion broke out,
it died and | was one of the mourners Al
its funeral. Laughter The Republican
party died also, and as for the Know Moth
Ing party, it was twice dead. There is but
one party Of patriots now. All who rally
under that flag are my friends, and where
they live will live; and where they died
lei me die also"

slavery is effectua'ly dead in that State. No
