The Louisville JoUTndl, having
abandoned its honor, In its sudden
conversion to Democracy aud treason,
is also reckless of truth. 1t objects
to the claim set up by the Union Re-
publican party Of having : saved the
life of.the nation" and then perverts
the history of the beginning Of the
War of the Rebellion after the follow
ing name to make its objection
good:
The Southern States supposed
themselves, rightly OF wrongly, TO be
oppressed in the Union, and justifa-
bly, or unjustifiably, they attempted
to withdraw from it, They never did
attemptin any way to do anything
more. They never sought to prevent
the remaining States FROM keeping up
the old name and the old organiza-
ton among themselves. IF the reb-
els bad succeeded in their full
purpose, of independence, the Unit
ed States then as before, and
more than now, would have been
a free and united people, an indepen-
dent nation, to the very full, as strong
as it is now and incOnceIYably stronger
than it is likely to be hereafter, if the
Republican party should continue to
rule it. Was the British nation de-
stroyed when we separatedffrom tit2
/ Will its life be taken when Australia
sets up for herself? IF Ireland, itself,
were to attain independence, would
the British Empire cease to- exist?
Its pride would be hurt, il would have
a troublesome neighbor, it would lose
some population, but would its life
be lost? The question answers itself.
The lite of this nation has never been
directly attacked unless by those Re
publicans themselves, who are threat
ening the only truly valuable part of
its life, In attacking its Constitutional
liberty. When they succeed In CEN
tralizing our Government. aud max
ing freedom no longer possible, they,
and no others, will have destroyed the
life of the nation.
Everybody remembers that about
the time of the surrender of Fort
Sumter, the rebel authorities at Mont
gomery boasted that within a few days
the Confederate flag woulI float over
Washington City. Troops from all
parts of the South were hurried for
ward to Washington to seize the city.
A regiment of Union sol-iers, while
quietly marching through the streets
of Baltimore, for the purpose Of de-
Tending the National Capital, was
~assailed in the most murderous man
ner, and had to fghttheir way through.
Inview of all these facts, the journal
has the hardihood to assert that the
rebel States did not aim at the life of
the nation. The Journals ~recreancv
to the Union party is only an exem-
~pli6cation of the old proverb, that
one renegade is worse than ten
Turks" Its Subservieney TO the rebel
element of Kentucky has placed it
lowest in the Scale among Louisville
papers, and very properly so. Having
lost its manhood, it is not strange
that it should ~retrograde equally in

u7doubted authority will shortly be
stated on the floor of the House of
Representatives, to-wit: That the
Committee of Ways and Means have
agreed to remove all taxation from al
most the entire class of articles of
productive industry, and that the
number Of articles fixed In the new
bill will not exceed half those en-
braced in the present revenue law.
This will be good news to the whole
