If, for example, an unlettered Unionist
from the hills Of Georgia or of Alabama
should make his way into Nashville, aud
he should be met there with the an.
nouncement that the Union organ in
Tennessee, the journal established at the
capital Of the State for the express pur.
pose of aiding to win back the misguid-
ed people to their allegiance and Of pro-
mo ing the re-estsblishment of the gov
eminent in its constitutional authority,
was advocating the immediate enamel
patton of the Southern slaves and the Mt
ter impOverishment of the Southern peo-
Pile through laws and edicts in defiance
alike of the constitution and of the relies
of civilized warfare, and be should there
upon Indignantly repel the announce
ment as a secession lie, &c.-Lou. Journal
Well, he would do exactly right il he
did; and if he possessed common sense
and common knowledge" he certainly
would do il. The unlettered," but sim
gle hearted Unionist who had voluntari-
ly abandoned his house, family aud pre-
misses, for the sake of Government, would
doubtless hear with indignation and as
constituent, that a Union organ in Ken
lucky, was daily engaged in putting ar
guments into The mouths Of secessionists
by charging the Federal Administration
with seeking the utter impoverishment
of the Southern people, through la,os and
elicts in defiance allie ofHs Constitution, and
the rules Of civilized loalfaye."

Do you see now where you missed not

Mr.. slidell on Slavery.

A friend has handed us the following
extract from the Courier des Hats Unis, the
French organ in New York 1t seems
that Mr.. SLIDELL makes the same admis
sion to Europeans, in reference to slavery,
that Mr., YANoEY did before him.
"NIr. Gailardet the correspondent of
the Courier des Etdts Uais, relates the fol-
lowing conversation as having taken
place between Mr.. Slidell and Mr.. Giror-
din on the subject of slavery. "Mr. S.
declared to him that the South was dis
posed TO get rid of slavery, which was
more prejudicial than advantageous TO
her, but that she Intended to do il by her
own authority, after having provided the
means of replacing black laborers by
whiie-fOr slaves once free must leave
the South which does not wish contat {
and prOmisicuousness of the two sorts
This deportation en- niaSSe of the negroes
is awarding TO Mr.. Slidell the condition
sine qua non If their manumission, as I
is the sole difficulty. There is under this
relation an identity Of views and remark :
able sentiments between the North and
tho South, between Mr.. Lincoln aud Mr..
Slidell. The blacks have an equal num-
Der of friends on both sides, since man
omission is the synonym of exile and
deportation"

The Louisville Journal asserts that be :
cause the tariff of 1928 was pronounced
legal by the Supreme Court, therefore
every man who voted for that tariff must
be acquitted of any crime in furnishing
a prelext TO the Southern conspirators to
rebel 1t does not pretend TO deny the
fact that the tariff Of 1923 did give
them pretext powerful enough to incite
the Southern people TO rebel. Thus the
Journal backs down entirely from its
original assertion, that without the help
Of "the abolition war upon The social Or
der Of the South, the disunion leaders
would have remained powsrless in their
cherished plot Of treason, aud secession
never would have been attempted" The
retreat Of the Journal is discreet, and
commendable. The knowledge of a few
more facts in our political history would
help lis logic wonderfully, just as a
reference to its dictionary would have
prevented il from confounding initial
with secondary"

the Confederate Congress, exempts tele-
graph operators, not to exceed four at
any place except the rebel capital; one
editor of every newspaper and necessary
printers; Quakers. drunkards, Naza-

If the new bill means TO exempt
"drunkards," it will cause terrible
thinning out of the rebel army; and if
in addition to the drunkards it also ex-
empts the "Nagarenes" who are teetotal-
