difference is discovered in the condition Of
affairs in those States lately in rebellion
But the State where the ost unpromising
condition of things exists to-day is conceded
on all hands, to be Kentucky. With her, re-
bollion seems to have but just begun, and the
reign OF terror and persecution OF Union men,
which followed secession in the other rebel

who were lately in rebellion; and not only

out Of power, and taking from them all pro-
lection in the Courts Kentucky would have
less right today to be represented in Congress
than Tennessee, if the action of her Legisa
tine and her Courts were fair expression of
the sentiments Of her people; but happily this
is not the case. A set of usurpers-e elected
it is true, by the forms Of law--have taken
possession Of the State Government, and for
