epithet Of traitor, when hurled against them
by their armed conquerors. That they have
oeen SO ably and so generously defended
against this grievous charge by member of
MIR. Linooln's Cabinet, will only touch their
hearts the more deeply.
II all those who shall be sent to the Philadel-
phla Convention would but be governed by the
feelings which inspired this letter, what glorious
results would be attanedl The spirit of con-
ci iation and peace which would then reign in
that body, and direct ITS deliberations, would
result in the adoption of policy which would
commend itself to the judgment of all those
who desire to see the Government reestablished
on its anoien. iouI datons, and who wish to see
the restoration Of peace and prosperity through
out the land. To such action the heart Of the
people would respond with an energy of enthu-
siasm which would sweep everything before 1t,
as has been done in Kentucky, and the conven-
ton would see the perfect realization of its
patriotic labors, in the utter overthrow of the
radicals and the restored vitality OF the Consti'
tuition.
OF course there are opinions, sentiments, and
expressions in Mr.. Blair's letter which we do
not entertain, and cannot approve, but we re-
reat that coming, as it does, from n member of
Mr. LinColn's Cabinet, this letter is worthy of
all praise, and does infinite credit to the head
and heart Of its author.

All this means neither more nor less than
revolution. Disguise 1t as we may, mince words
as We mag, the contingent action promised by
the Chicago journalist-and which will follow
logically from the premises laid down by the
radical leaders-is the equivalent of revolution.

two great sectiops-one of unconditional loyal
ists, the other OF conservatives who denied the
rieht OF the Government to interfere IN any WAY
with the negroes OF Kentucky. Adolf the
beginning OF 1864, 1t became evident tnat the
Government intended TO bring toe negroes INTO
military service. The Governor strongly
opposed this purpose, and prohibited such
recruiting. The Legislature, in February
declared it impolitic; but Congress, on the zith,
passed an act enrolling in the national Iorces an
able-bodied male colored persons Detweeu Tue
ages OF 25 and 4b. This caused mucn dlssatls'
faction, which Mr. Lincoln endeayo1ed to
remove by his wellknown letter oil April a, to
A. G.. Hodges, of Frankfort KY, IN which he
declsred the drafting OF the negroes a mll,Gary
servatives, and the Governor complained to the
LEGISLATURE, so late as January, 1865, that
the United States military authorities IN the
State violated the laws. -, The Union and the
Democratic parties speedily formed an issue on
the enlistment OF negroes. At the Union Demo.
cratic Convention OF MAY, 1864, and the Demo-
cratic Convention of June, the course of the
Government was warmly condemned, nor was
the feeling lessened when, i'm July, the Presi-
aent in consequence of a new invasion of the
State, and the cOnspiTaCies of the "SOns of
Liberty etc., found it neces ary TO establish
martial law. At the Chicago Convention, the
two conservative parties united, and Kentucky
was carried for Mcclellan by majority of
36,515. The Presidential election OF 1864 thus
emphatically showed the political position
OF the state, and no new movements OF
ended in 1866. Events then tended steadily TO
emancipation, slave properly was OF little value
and labor Was dsoTganized. The Legislature
however, in February, refused by resolution to
adopt the amendment to the National Constltu-
ton aboishmg slavery. The subject continued
to be debated, with much excitement, TIL it
was finally settled by the ratlucaton OF the
amendment by two..hrds OF the States. At
the Stale election in AUGUST last the adoption
OF the amendment was the main issue between
the Unousts and conservatives, and the vote
resulted in a tie in the Senate and majority OF
sixteen conservatives in the House. OF the
men bers OF Congress, five were conservative
and four Unionlsts; the vote being 57,562 for
the first ticket and 54.OOs for the latter. In
November the Legislature again refused to
TatifY the amendment, and repealed the act of
eXpatriation, which has materially affected the
results of the election held on the 9th.
From this summary OF the political move
ments in Kentucky since 1850, a correct opinion
NAV be formed OF the present condition of the
state. Kentucky, conservative before the war,
allo ed her conservatism to in erlere too much
with the great plans OF the Government during
the war; aad since its close she has consistently
ad hered to her former policy.

General Grant and the Presidency.

The Galena (Ill. J DailyGazette OF
the 14th instant, has an article evil
dently written by General Grants i'm
mediate friend, called forth by the
fact that '' some time since Repub-
lican and Union meeting in the city
of Rochester, New York, had nomi-
mated Lieutenant General Grant as the
Union candidate for the Presidency in
1868" 1t is very significant. While
the attempt to nominate the general
for that office is characterized as
premature agitation" the writer
states that "his friends look forward
with pride and hope to the time when
he shall receive the highest. Office
which can be bestowed upon him by
q grateful people, as reward for the
inestimable services he has rendered
his country The article says that
he takes no part with the President
as against Congress, and no part with
Congress against the President. " His
official acts'' are his present plat
form Ellis views in regard to the
necessity of the freedmen's bureau and
the keeping the troops in the rebel
States are recorded" ellis orders

record" &C His written declaration
nearly three months IN advance OF
Mr.. Lincoln's immortal proclamation
that slavery should be wiped out be-
fore the war ended, is well known to
all intelligent men," This important
declaration is succeeded by an itali-
cised passage, which is as follows:

1T WORKS WELL. a

An Alabamian writes to Mr. Blow,
NJ. c., from Missouri: I'D u
Il am happy to state to you that
our free negroes are doing finely. We
have no trouble with them. They
have all gone to work manfully. They
give an impetus to trade that we nev-
er before had. I have sold Jack Pc
ters' negroes more goods this year
and last year than1 ever sold Peters,
and he owned four hundred and fifty
negroes. So you see the free negro
system is working well with u.s." 9s
Of course free labor works we'll 1t
works for itself and gives an impetus
to all around. Being busy for itself
it has no time to waste in making
trouble for others. But the. South
is only entering the threshold of its
advantages. They are only beginning
to see the advantage of having four
hundred and fifty busy, active con
sumers aud producers in the stead OF
Jack Peters and his slaves. They are
only beginning to realize the profit to
a community to have four hundred
and fifty citizens each with local in
terests in the place of Jack Peters,
who cared naught for them nor their
locality except to get all the cotton
he could from his land and spend the
proceeds in a Southern city or at a
Northern watering place, They will
realize them more, as schools and
churches, and pleasant homesteads
and factories, etc, grow up in their
midst. All these are the natural ac-
compartments eff free labor and must
naturally follow " Free labor is
working well.

JAMAICA.

The special correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, writing from
Kingston, Ja., March 9th, says:
The Royal Commission has been
sitting now for so days, and a large
number Of witnesses have been exam
ined. The witnesses are from all
classes Of the population and al ranks
of society-magistrates, clergymep,
planters, storekeepers, laborers, Off
GERS of the army, officers of the navy
and volunteer officers; negroes, whites
and browns; people residing in the
recently disturbed district, and others
from the adjacent parishes and from
distant parts of the island, have all
appeared before the Commissioners
to give testimony. In taking evidence:
the Commissioners have confined
themselves to two main points 1st
The disturbances at Morant Bay last
October, and the measures adopted by
the authorities for the suppression Of
the outbreak; and Cd. The existence
Of an alleged plot among the blacks
for the determination of the white and
brown people Of the island. You will
remember that the justification set up
by Gov. Eyre and his advocates for
the hangings, and shootings, and
whippings which marked the late reign
of terror in this island, is that the ne
groes were ripe for revolt all over the
Island-that, in fact, there was wide
spread conspiracy among them to
destroy the whites and the colored
| people Of the colony, and that it was
absolutely necessary, therefore, to
strike terrible blow and crush the
rebellion in its incipieney AS to the
first point, the testimony Of parties
residing at or near to the scene of the
disturbances, and of those who ac-
lively participated in the movements
Of the forces during the troubles,
would be sufficient for all purposes !;
but with regard to the second it was
found necessary to summon witnesses
from all parts Of Jamaica. You will
be pleased to learn that the evidence,
instead of supporting Gov. Eyre's
statements as to the perilous condition
| of affairs here six months ago, goes
strongly to show that, at the period
| when the disturbances took place in
st. Thomas in the East, the spirit and
department of the black people in all
other parts of Jamaica we're of most
peaceable and loyal character. The
