yYooIIora, Ut Kentucky

1t is a pleasant thing to fud man in
these times Of genuine moral courage
Nothing has been more humihsting than
to see the numbers Of men Who went into
the amy as Democratic officers, now ap-
parently as strongly sbOliiionized rs
though they had been raised at the feet
Of old GIDDS0s. There are some few
noble exceptions, but they arc rare and
they are os noble as they arc rare.
FRANK WooLFonD, of Kentucky, is a
a refreshing sight in these times. He is a
Federal colonel, and has won distinction,
He has fought many battles upon the side
Of the Union, aud will fight many more
II he is permitted But he stood up in
Lexington the other day and spoke Of old
ABE and his designs like man, and not
like slave. The uniform he wore was
not the type with him oil his master. lie
denounced LINCOLN as tyrant and a
uswpor. and said that the Judgment Of
the army was with him. lie advised ic-
sistancc to the enlistment OF slaves in
Kentucky. and called upon the Governor,
who was present, to give to that resistance
the lolm and semblance Of legality.
The issue seems to be fairly made up in
Kentucky between the owners Of slaves
and the outside pressure Abolitionists.
What will come Of il will be seen. In
our Judgment, the people OF Kentucky
will find before long that they were sold
out long ago to old ABE, and that all he
needs to do is to foleclose his title Col.
onel WooLFoRD will be arrested, dismiss
ed, and that will he the end The Abol-
tionists will soon open on his track. and
he who has been lighting for them for 30
long, will find that he has been mistaken in
thinking that no deserves well of his
country for his services in this war. He
must become an Abolitionist or go by thu
board. Good bye Mr.. WooLFoRD.

stop Il Somehow.

From all accounts the citizens of the
surrounding counties Lust be suffering 4
species of martyrdom, at the hands Of
the new recruits that are in their neighbor-
hoods, backed and assisting by their Re-
publican advisers. Xsnia is spoken of as
almost intolerable for Democrat, and
Springfield as no better Patience is a
great virtue. But in our Judgment it is
about used up now. A man is entitled to
live in peace and quiet, and mob violence
shall be put down. We say to the De-
mocracy that they ought to adopt any
measures that will secure their personal
safety. The law Of self-presorvation is
the first law of nature. Desperate cases
require desperate remedies. 1t is perfectly
outrageous if one.half is true that is re-
ported as occurring around us. Society
will soon break loose from all bonds, and
resolve itself into its original clements
