CONTEMPT FOR THE PRocLAMATIoN. The
following are very satisfactory reasons
why the Rebel Congress should make
special efforts to treat the Presidents
Amnesty Proclamation with affected con-
tempt; first, there is not man of them
who is not expressly excluded from the
benefit of its provisions, by being =" civil
officers of the so called Confederate Gov
eminent" And again, they are all prob
ably not only Shareholders but are en-
gagged in building up a Confederacy on
the corner stone of the peculiar insti-
tuition" and the oath to support the
Emancipation Proclamation until de
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court is naturally about the most un-
palatable dose they could be asked to
swallow. The fact u.s. the Amnesty Proc
lamation was expressly not intended to
reach their cases. but it was intended to
affect the mass of the Southern people
who have no real interest in the mainte
nance of slavery every interest
in fact is Numerically opposed to the
institution" Upon them it is already
beginning its work of conversion to the
knowledge of their own good. This
work, of course, is slow in its operation
at first, but will gather momentum as it
progresses.

Political SENTIMENT IN KENTUCKY
The charges of the Louisville Journal
against the Union Members of Congress
from Kentucky, do not appear to be well
sustained by facts. 1t was announced
not long since that the State Senators
and Representatives from the Non.
Green Clay Smiths District, had sent
him letter approving of his course in
voting for Speaker Colfax, and now the
following comes to hand in letter from
the Cincinnati Commercials correspond
ent:
"a majority of the members from Hon.
Louis Andersons Dirtrict have signed a
statement that his cooperation with the
Republicans, and his vote for Colfax is
not inconsistent with his principles and
professions at home, and will meet the
approval of his constituents"

"In conclusion, Mr. Anderson stated
that there was no peace he would regard
as peace, until the dark spot, the black
institution of slavery, was wiped from
every State of this Government. He was
not willing either that the great mass of
the people of the South found in arms,
should exercise the same political power
with the Union men, and he was in favor
that all those should be served as the
sinners are at the Methodist camp meet
ing, that they should take the back seats
Old Kentucky, he could only say, that
when the voice of the people was un-
'bridled then would her sons be found
standing side by side with those of the
States of the North. The speech of Mr.
Anderson was an emphatic endorsement
of the President emancipation policy
and the humor of it was only exceeded
by it patriotism"
