LEXINGTON, June Is.


EDITOR HERALD What am about
to write is probably neither very new,
nor very necessary to your readers, but
on the principle of Zine upon line,'' il
may not be without its use.
have had some opportunities with
Union men, and also with those who talk
about our former Union and Constitution,
who have never done anything who
''would be glad to see the Union restored
II 1t could be- who believe in State soy
erelgnty and the rights of Southern citi-
zens-all which, being interpreted, means
that they sympathise deeply with the re-
belhon, and desire nothing so earnestly as
Its complete success. They are secession
lists, though they deny it.
These people have the photographs of
Lee, jackson, and VaRondjghom, which
they display with great satisfaction. OF
the Cincinnati papers, extensively taken
IN his region, they all take the Enquirer,
which is Democratic paper, This lour-
nal quotes very largely from the London
Times. All the violent and factious pro
ceedlngs of copperheads in New York, H.
LIMOS, Indiana, and Ohio, the remarks of
MIR. Pugh about spurning and trampllng
upon General Burnside's orders. Also.
the threats Of Judge Duer of Oswego, N.
y, 10 resist the National Government in
certain contingency, are spread out in
the Cincinnati Enquirer and Louisville
Democrat, and treasured up in the hearts
OF these secessionists.
They are very fond of reading to their
amore friends matter of this kind Some
times, indeed, there viii be at the close of
articles that are mainly seditious, briet
expression of the sentiment that there can
be no permanent peace except upon the
preservation of the whole Union but if
those readers are asked If they subscribe
to all the sentiments they have read, they
never give a satisfactory answer. The
amount OF it Is, the London Times. Fer
nando Wood, and c, l.. Vallandigham are
their Kind. They delight in every body
aud every thing that has tendency to
weaken the General Government, and
discourage loyal men. They seek for
these things as eagerly as they do for sue
cesses of the rebel armies, and disasters
of our own
If Wood, Duer, Pugh q Go. had for
their sole object SIMPLY to please the
" Southern Rights men," they could not
do 1t more efectually than by elamoring
as loudly as possible against the alleged
violations of Constitutional liberty in the
free States. Given, a Southern Rights
man IN state Of despondenoy, and re-
CURED to raise him at once to state Of
jubilatlon, let him If possible be made to
exercise undaun'ed faith in the success of
Pemberton, Bragg, Lee, or Vallandigham
and Pugh, and the problem is solved
Recollect that every true seoessionist, male
and female, expects to live and die by the
sentiment that you cannot reconcile the
South to union with the General Gov
except by utter determination
that he loves the "white feather Demo.
Gratis because he thinks he can use them
IN bringing about disunlon without utter
determination, and you will have no diff
'ulty IN putting right estimate upon
hem.
They are manouvering for the next
'resldency. They hope to gain the cleo
oral vote of some of the Southern States
nd every speech, letter, and resolution
gheh is put forth by them is carefully
tuded with reference to Its aeceptabilitv
Southern readers and voters.
