The Kentucky Exodus.

Within few days the negroes of Ken
lucky have become impressed with the
idea thatthe road to freedom lies through
military service, and there has been a
stamped from the farms to the recruit
ing offices. The able bodied blacks are
turning cut almost unanimously, and the
women and children are disposed to 90
with the crowd. The consequence is,
the railroads of the State have not tho
capacity to transport the negroes who are
finding their way to the United States
camps. The white people of Kentucky
are taking this extraordinary comm otion
among the negroes very cooliy, looking
upon it as one Of the phenomena of the
times. and acqnescing in it as part of
the drift of destiny. Slave property has
been recognized in Kentucky very pre-
carious in its nature, ever since the South
ern fanatics insisted that sectional diff
culties should eliminate in war. The me-
groes have uot bern ia good working or
der for some time, and their rush for the
army is not as serious matter for the
agricultural interests of the State rs
might be expected. Then they are re-
lieving the State of the draft, suddenly
and forever for enough of them are
swarming to meet all probable calls in the
future. If the Government chooses to
accept black men for soldiers, and the
blacks want to 60. and the whites don't,
it is absurd for the whites to complain Of
the policy that practically exempts them
and receives an inferior article in full Of
all demands. Tho uprising, if we may
so call it, of the negroes of kentucky,
now 10 progress, is one of the most re-
markable and significant events of the
war; Cincinnati Commercial, June f..

The Next President and Vice
President.

Abraham Lincoln is nominated for
President, and Andrew Johnson Vice
President. They are both tried men, and
will receive the hearty support OF the
people. Their election is certain. The
ST. Paul Press thus speaks of the nomi-
nation. We fling to the breeze this
morning, at masthead, that glorious ban-
.ner Of Freedom and the Union under
which the patriotic hosts of American
ireenen are 10 march to the final triumph
Of liberty and lSw over the shattered lie
gions of slavery and rebellion.
With popular unanimity hSraly par
aleiled in the political history of the re
public, a unanimity hardly reflected by
tie convention which registered their
will, the loyal masses of the United
States have chosen Abraham Lincoln, of
Illinois. to finish up the mighty '|job'
the mas on ms hands, and which thus far
he has 50 well performed. And they
have associated with hirn in this great
trust, q mau like unto himself in those
great qualities of head and heart, an in
that unselfish and large hearted devotion
70 the principles of justice and liberty,
"a which the Republic was founded. and
on which only it can be maintained,
which endssr them both to the hearts of
the common people. North and South,
and to all who jeve the sacred cause Of
popular rights and free institutions
throughout the world.
Tbs Union candidates for President
and Vice President of the United States
have this advantage over many of their
predecessors on both sides of the party
line. They need no Introduction to the
people; no labored biographical preface
to advertise -and exalt their names. For
the American people kHoE them both
i,y heart Never was human charac-
ter tried in so severe an ordeal-by the
test Of exigencies so fearful and so sub
lime rs that of Abraham Lincoln--and
few men, in all the mighty wre-tlings of
The historic area, have stood the test so
wen.
How well he has stood it needs no
better proof than that in 4he fourth year
OF his administration-in the midst Of
all the calamities which q war of gigan-
tic proportions has inflicted and is heap
ing up upon the nation-and which dis
loyal demagoguos have been iadustri-
ously teaching their followers for three
Years past and more, was war of his
5eginning and continuing, the popular
affection and confidence has so sweiled
and grown, from month to month, thro'
good and i'll report, about this plain and
honest man, that he is now called again
By The almost unanimous voice of the
loyal men of all former parties, to pilot
he good Ship Of State through the
breaking Storm"

~ The Cleveland Morn;no Lead

@ The Cleveland Morning Leader,
speaking of tho Fremont Convention in
that city, says:
Nothing shocked sensitive and rrligi-
Gus minds in the Convention of the Mis-
souri, Radicals Yesterday, so much as tho
action in regard to an amendment to the
resolution that the rebellion must be put
down. A gentleman suggested the
words, "with Gods assistance" This
was voted down with boisterous demon
STATIONS. The reason for il was that
most of the Missouri delegation, who
constituted one half the Convention, are
Infidels and Atheists, who of course do
not recognize the hard of God in the
work of suppressing the rebellion. The
incident was sad comment on the char
acter of the Convention, and must strike
all religious minds as profane to de-
gree never witnessed in public Conven-
ton before. Nothing is truer than that
Gods Providence is manifested in this
war.
