From Kentucky

The Daily Huntsville Confederate, now published at
Dalton Georgia. in its issue Of the Oath January
tains the following:
A Kentucky Colonel informs us that parties who
have recently come from Kentucky represents that a
vast change has taken place among the people of that
State in reference to the war-that large number OF
citizens formerly opposed to the Southern movements for
separation and independence have changed their views,
and the Southern is stronger there than it
was, and is getting stronger every day. We have been
greatly disappointed at the readiness with which Ken
lucky has yielded to the yrannical behes OF the vulgar
despotsm of the Lincoln Government and have again,
and again. given willing credence to representations of
the friendly feelings OF majority of her people for the
South, but have waited in vain for q practical demon
tration of their friendship. We are however still in
clned to believe these representations correct basng
our belief the conrmatory evidence afforded by the
altered tone of the Louisville Journal toward the Lincoln
Government and the strong States Rights resolutions
introduced by Garrett Davis into they ankee Congress
condemnatory of the unconstitutional and reckless poll
cy pursued by that Government in the conduct OF the
war and its violation Of State sovereignty and the
planest principles OF popular right and natural justice
The language OF Davis, in the debate on the resolu
tion of Wilson of Mass to expe him for his "treasona-
be resolutions" is very strong, and so denuncatory
that we cannot believe that so assidous O watch
of public breezes Davis would have employed it,
if be had not been satisfied of the support OF orty
of the people fha Stetc The telegraph thus reports
| bis language "lf be was expelled, he would go to
Kentucky and raise the cry of oppression, usurpaton,
tyranny and revolution against the iaithless men in
| charge of the Government"
Since we began this article another Kentucky Col
one assures that from the intelligence he has recev-
ed be is satisfied Ii at overwhelming majority OF the
people of Kentucky bitterly opposed to the Lincoln
Government and its adhereDts now IN charge OF the
State Governuent, and if opportunity be afforded
he would not be asonished of revolution of the State
Government and general rally to the standard OF the
| Confederate States. We trust that opportunity
will occur in thecoming Spring or Summer, and Ken.
tuckans, true to their origin, natural instincts and
Institutions the blood bought heritage OF their fathers,
will rally by tens of Thousands to the Southern standard
and help expe the foul invaders from every inch OF
| our soil.
