During the late war there was no State in
the Union, or professedly out of it, which can
be said TO have occupied a position approach
ing in meanness to that Of Kentucky. The
open and defiant rebellion of the seeded
states was admirable and noble compared
with the pitiful and selfish neutrality claimed
by this one. That disloyalty was as rife there
as anywhere else in the South no one then
doubted only it was too cowardly to declare
itself. The same spirit is in full
operation to-day, the only difference
being that having less to fear it is now
little holder and more outspoken.-
In the election which occurred last week
flor clerk of the court of appeals, and other
minor State Offices straight issue was
made between the Union men and the rebels
-Hobson for the clerkship standing for the
forme r. Duvall for the latter. There was an
animated canvass and close contest, the re
turned rebel soldiers entering into the work
with great spirit, and carrying the election
for their favorite, Duvall, by from 10000 to
10000 majority. Among the speakers enlist
ed in the Duvall interest were Pendletcn,
Vallandigham, and Pugh-all delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention. The report states
that wherever these speakers alluded to the
cause of the South, or mentioned the names
of its leaders, they were greeted with accla-
nations of applause; while the names of
Grant and Sherman, and the great command
ers of the Union army were received with
Kisses! An exchange thinks Kentucky is in
a fair way to become the best of all States for
a Unionist-to emigrate from.

The Statement of Governor Wells.
We surrender the larger portion OF our edi-
torial space this morning for the purpose u
LAYING before our readers the calm and dspaS-
sionate statement given by Governor wells OF
Louisiana, of the origin and circumstances Vi
the recent riot in New Orleans Inc ehect
of this report upon the country cannot iail 10
no oreat If is TO be remembered that it is the
testimony of one whose position has given
him the best possible means of knowing the
facts in relation to this matter; of one morrow
er who is in no sense radical, who on the con-
trary, has hardly been counted even con-
servative Republican; who received the NOM
motion of Democratic Convention, although
opposed by the rebel who in the height of the
rebellion held control of all that part OF Lou
isiana not in possession of our forces. Inc
evidence he here exhibits OF the effect OF
conciliatory policy upon the rebel communi-
ties, the conviction he avows that their au-
dacity has only been increas ed by every act Of
lenity and kindness, and that "they would
renew the rebellion tomorrow if they had any
hope of success" and bis clear declaration Of
what constitutes the only ultimate security
both Of the government and the Union men
of the South,' are therefore entitled to the
more weight as coming from one whose old
associations would lead him to favor the for
mer rebels.
We commend this sincere and patriotic ut
terance of an honest public officer and true
Southern Union man to the thoughtful con-
sideration of the people ofthe North.
