more fault with our own government than it
does with the rebels, and which is little better
than plea for treason, finds a warm place in

ductors Of that delectable sheet.
sV-Gen. Dix, at the late New England
dinner in New York, uttered sentiments as
thoroughly radical as any that we have yet
found vent upon the subject of the war and
the reconstruction of the Union. Gen. Dix
expressed himself in the strongest terms
against any lenity or pacifcation that amnes-
tied the crime OF the leaders in their attempt
to destroy the Union.
sB~The high prices Of many articles of
food and the extraordinary prices of fuel, make
it so peculiarly difficult for the poor to supply
their most limited wants this year, that por-
sous unwonted to give, can hardly refrain
from offering now Our societies, which make
it their work to seek out and relieve the suf-
fering, ought to DO generously supplied. Let
no man be deaf TO the appeals, which these
piercing winds make to him in behalf of the
poor.
Ex-Governor Bramlette, late great fav-

to give "a right of action against any or all
persons who, after the passage of such act
may aid and encourage, or promote the rebel
lion, either by acts, or cords of encourage
ment, or By approval, or by manifesting,
an 'erultant and joyous sympathy upon the
success Of rebel arms" And he adds that sit
is time that dsloyal and criminal sympathy
should cease in Kentucky

and formed an angle or cIsnncl along
which we travelled for nearly three days
