Kentucky Unionism.

Lieut.. Gov. Jacobs, of Kentucky, in hi
recent opening of the Senate of that State
made an address from which the ''loyal'
newspapers have extracted much laid anG
comfort" We present that portion which
has secured their most hearty approval:
Come what may, come what will, let Kentucky b,
true IL is not only the path Of honor but the patti
Of safety any other is the path Of destruction She
is not fighting for the preservation of slavery nor
she fighting for its destruction. Incidentally IL il
goes down in maintaining the Union, well and good
incidentally, if IL is saved in preserving the Union
well and good. What is slavery? What is any species
Of property to her in comparison with the blood OF
her heroic children? Yet she has freely offered up
their lives without murmur. She will do so still
All she asks, let these enormous sacrifices be not in
defiance Of the Constitution, but incidentally for
prosecution OF war for the maintenance of the
Union and the Constitution; and when these bless
ngs are secured the war should and ought to cease
tions to save not only the unity and integrity Of the
country, but also its inestimabe and precious Con-
stitution."
This is the very pith ndmarrow of ''cop-
perheadism." incidentally, if slavery goes
down or stays up, well and good. But Mr..
Chase says its destruction is 'the object and
not an incident of The ,oar." This Mr.. Lincoln
echoes in his last proclamation, affirming
that the Union shall not be restored unless
slavery is destroyed. There is broad gulf
between the Unionism of Mr.. Jacobs and
that of Mr.. Lincoln and his supporters
The Union can be restored without another
battle, and in less than ninety days, on Mr..
Jacobs platform. 1t is at least doubtful If
it can ever be restored, and certainly not
without many desperate battles, under Mr..
Lincoln's scheme.--Chicdgo Times.

Governor Tod on the Salaries OF
| Public Officers.
From Gov. Tods Inaugural Address, Jan. 70. 1862

From Gov. Tod's Inaugural Address, Jan. 13, 1862
Hence, they 1.-THE peoplel will expect you,
while making provision for the wants of the
National Government to relieve, if possible,
against the burthens now resting upon
them. This relief is to be obtained mainly
by a reduction of salaries and per diem
compensation now paid, and by the reduc-
ton of local taxation. Both of these meas
ures urge upon you.
The salaries now paid to the several State,
County, and Township officers vary but
little from $500,000, and, with the single eX-
ception of State Auditor and Treasurer.
they will bear reduction of twenty-five
per cent.-thus saving the sum of Sl25,0OO.
From Governor Tod's Message, January a. 1se4.l
In view of the increased labor thrown
upon this department, also upon the depart
ments of the Auditor and Treasurer OF
State, consequent upon the war, added to
the fact that the expenses of living in this
city have greatly increased within the past
two years, recommend an increase of the
salaries of these officers. This increase
should not be less than fifty per cent; and
to secure the benefit of such increase to the
incoming officers, immediate action, during
the fret week or your session, is necessary.
as the Constitution forbids the increose OF
salaries of any of the State officers during
the term for which they are elected. =
| also renew my recommendation of last
year, for proper increase of the salary OF
the Superintendent of Public Printing.

IrreguIarity of the Mails.

We are not disposed to complain about
the irregularity of the mails, but the de-
rangement is so great, and the dissatisfac-
tion so general, that we do think whoever
has the supervising authority in Ohio,
should exercise it promptly and efficiently,
to correct the evil and bring order out of
chaos. Never before were the mails in
Ohio as irregular and unreliable as now.
As an instance, we may state that one OF
our subscribers who gets his paper in Union
county, writes that for the three weeks past
the WEEKLY STATESMAN has not reached its
destination there inside of the week in which
it was printed. His letter of complaint was
mailed January /, and received here, the
distance being inside of fifty miles, on the
5th of January, 1864! This is intolerable,
and reflects anything but credit on the mail
management and managers in Ohio.

the Fourth Ohio District yesterday. He
had been at home among his constituents
during the holidays, and was on his way
back to Washington, to resume his Con-
gressional duties. We neversaw him look

District, and wherever he is known. He
occupies an honored place, as faithful, in

the people.

of Indiana, who also honored us with call

Speaker HubbeH on our System of
Government.

Hon. j. r. HUBBELL, on his reelection to
the Speakership of the House of Represen-
tatives in our State Legislature, made a
speech, the first paragraph of which is as
follows. We quote from the Journal of this
city:
In taking the Chair Mr.. Hubbell said: %
GENTLEMEN OFTHE House OF REPRESENTA- ATIvEs:
We live in age of great events history in Its page
Of wonders will record for the information Of man
kind no events more remarkable instructive than
the lessons that will be found upon the pages now
being written. Under the wise and bcnefcent sys-
tenn of Government devised by the wisdom Of our
fathers we prospered other people ever prosper
ed We felled the forest, built cities, constructed
railroads and highways, augmented the national TER
and grew in population. In all the material and
moral elements Of grandeur and greatness, no people
excelled u.s. In the multitude Of enjOyments the eye
suffcied and the heart was satisfied.
This is warm and just eulogium upon
our "wise and benefcent system of Gov
ernment' as it existed and was administer
ed prior to the commencement of A. LIN
coins Administration. But can it be that
Mr.. HUBBELL speaks the sentiments of his
party friends? Can he or they be sincere
in such extravagant praise Of the old Union
and the old Government ''devised by the
wisdom of our fathers?"
That "wise and beneficent system of Gov
ernment," under which 1--WE prospered as
no other people ever prospered," tolerated
slavery in such States as chose to have it;
it enforced a fugitive slave law and admit
ted new slave States into the Union. Yet
Mr.. HUBBELL and his political friends have
elected, and are about to inaugurate man
Governor of our State, who takes the
ground that the present waste of our coun-
try and slaughter of our countrymen must
go on till slavery is destroyed root and
branch, and that we can never have that
good old Union and good old Government
of WASHINGTON and the fathers, unless the
radical Abolitionists reform it, who are in q
fair way to reform it out of existence alto
gether.
We are reluctant to believe that Speaker
HUBBELL would say things, on assuming
his responsible position in the House, fol-
mere Bunkum. But we cannot otherwise
reconcile his praise of our old Government,
for the greater part of its existence adj
ministered by Democratic statesmen and
always by Conservative patriots, with his
present opposition to Democratic and Con-
servative principles and his ardent support
of Radical men and the Revolutionary meas
ures of the Lincoln Administration.
Speaker HUBBELL, and all men who
think and act with him, would do them
selves infinitely more credit by throwing
off the mask, at once, and instead of talk
ing about our "wise and beneficent system
of Government and "the wisdom of our
fathers" curse the former and stigmatize
the memory of the latter. Then, and only
t1en. would they be consistent.

pates pacific result; nor does the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, who looks forward
still to two years. war expenditures. Com
mercial circles in New York seem to share
his misgivings, the premium on gold hav-
ing risen under the message.
The Morning Post thinks Lincoln must be
"joking," and says he should have remem-
bered that a Confederate army was en-
camped within u hundred miles of Wash
ington before he ventured to dictate such
terms of amnesty.
The Morning Herald ridicules the procla-
nation and denounces the vindctive spirit
of the proffered amnesty, which, it says, Of
fers nothing which could be withheld if the
last Southern town had been taken and the
last Southern regiment cut to pieces. The
real object is to establish a pseudo State
government wherever secure foothold can
be found.
The Morning Star applauds the honesty
of Lincoln, rejOices at his determination tC
put down slavery, and says his peace over
lures to the South are large and liberal.

Loss of Able Bodied Men by the
War.

In recent article on the loss of life by
the war, we gave Mr.. MANsFIELD's estimates
of the number of able-bodied men on the
Federal side killed, died permanently dis
abled, making grand total of 2l9,465. The
object of Mr.. MANSFIELD in making these
calculations was by comparison of the
losses occasioned by the war with the in
crease of able bodied men in the same time,
to show that the country could continue to
furnish such men as food for gunpowder for
an indefinite period to come. He estimates
from data furnished by Mr.. KENNEDY's
Compendium of the census the total in
crease of able-bodied men in the so-called
I.loyal States" since April, 1861, at total
of 4s7,5OO. His calculation then stands
thus:
Increase since April, 1861 Observation-Disclosures. 4s7,5 500
LOssin same time. ,466
Aggregate gain. 2ss ,Os5
Hence, Mr.. MANSFIELD and the Jacobin
editors on his authority, think the case is
made out that the war can 60 on with the
same slaughter as heretofore, and the "loyal
States still increase their number of able
bodied men. But in Mr.. MANsFIELD's call
culations there is this singular and import
ant omission, that while account is taken of
those who are disabled by wounds none
whatever is made Of. the far greater number
of those who are permanently disabled by
disease. ave know" says the Boston
Courier. "that in most of the Massachusetts
regiments the number Of discharges for dis
ability, the result of Sickness exceeds all
other losses put together. If it is the same
with the other troops from other States, as
there is no doubt it is, we have, as the
Courier remarks, the aggregate surplus or
increase of able-bodied men in Mr.. MANS
FIELDS calculation swept away at once.
We have, then, evidence from facts fur
nished by an ardent war man and quoted
with appreciation by leading Administra-
ton journals, for the purpose of putting the
best possible face on the matter, that the
war, as it has been carried on since its COM
mencement, is consuming the whole in
crease of able-bodied men in the so-called
''loyal States" 1t is not possible for any
country to long endure such drain of its
vital strength. The race must inevitably
degenerate and the people become only fit
for serfs and slaves. This is consumma-
tion which some blood-thirsty fanatics seem
most devoutly to wish for.
