! NULlFICATIoN IN OHIO.
The people OF this State seem determined to
cover themselves with eternal shame. For years
they have been drifting upon the tide of fana,icisn
and Mt last they have neared the maelstroum Il
dissolution. They have become accustomed to its
wild and fearful roar and are evidently anxious to
make the descent into its abyss. Not content with
elevating Black Republican to the highest Office
i'll the gift of the State, and with manlesting their
unvarying hostility to the Fugitive Slave Law, and
] to the rights OF the people Of the South, their
: treasona0le purposes towards the Union and its
Constitution, lave been lately exemplifed in more
startling and impressive manner. We learn from
I the New York Tribune, that memorial from "A
large number OF the citizens of the northern cUun-
! ties was laid before the Legislature n few days
ago, which was full of treason and mischief. This
memorial prayed for withdrawal of the State Of
Ohio from the Federal Union and long catalogue
! OF reasons was assigned why it should be done
/ The mem0rialiStS declared that it unjust that
the inhabitants OF Ohio should any longer remain
pledged to the pcrpetuaton OF the cruel servitude
OF four millions of the human race, and that they
were thus pledged by their cUnnexun with the
General Government; that it was imp oper that
their representatives in Congress should meet in
who represented the interests of people who
recognized slavery. and that they no longer wish
ed to support Constitution which authorized or
permitted it. These were the principal reasons
assigned by the traitors Tor their course, aud it is
needless to enumerate the rest. This memorial
was placed before the Legislature of the great
State of Ohio, and instead ct being spuincd indig-
nantly by those who constituted her assembled
wisdom, and who should have also constituted
her assembled patriotism, 1t was referred to a com
mittce and this committee. instead of reporting it
| back to ,be house emanatiun from the hearts
OF traitors to their cOuntrys dearest intel est in
view OF the delicncy Of their position, asked to lie
| discharged from the further consideration of the
subject, which was graciously done.
! We feel assured that there are in the State of
Ohio thousands Of men as true to this nations re-
! al interests, rs any that can be be found on any
square mile of the Republic, but the signs of dis
loyalty from her borders grow more ominous ey-
cry day, and it will not be long bef,re she will
win for herself an inglOrious nUtorety, unless Il
reaction in the sentiments Of her people speedily
occurs. Kentucky has right to raise up her
voice, and command her neghbors beyond the
Ohio to remain true to the Union, and the compro-
misses under the Constitution. Years ago she re-
buked South Carolina, IL sister Southern State
when she cheered on her favoyie son, while he
stood between the pillars Of the Republic and
sought to tear them down. but she has IL far better
right to denounce those n Ohio who seeking
10 precipltate separation of these States, and u
plunge the sections into n civil war. South Caro-.
INA was under no particular obligation to us aud
therefore, owed US nothing but justice which is an
universal debt; but Ohio owes us something more.
and when her people speak Of the communion OF
! her congressman with ours, as an unholy thing,
they prove themselves mt once trencheruus and
ungIatelul. Virginia gave all the fair domain, Of
which she is u part to the General Government,
and did not ask that it should be slave territory,
and have those who now enjoy this beautiful region
| the rirlt "a IL iut tcit Of
| lnr the iugitives of Kentucky Ia 1912 the brInt
! pi battle tell upon the borders ot this nUrthwes-
tern territory and the hest blood Of Kentucky was
shed III the defence of those whose descendants IN
now branding ny us tyrants and monsters. Then
the people OF Ohio were willing to go into battle
hand in hand, with the gallant bands that had
marched to their rescue from the forests Of Ken
! lucky, aud now when the grass is green the
mounds where they fell in heaps, and when all
! that mighty country, which they saved fiom the
invaders brand and TORCH is happy, prosperous
and powerful, we hear from it :he OF treason
to the country and of hatred to us. Kentucky
must inevitably be the battle ground in any war
between the South and North, and we desire To
know if the very State for which she has done the
in its infancy, will be the first to advise an
act which in the end, may bedew her fair fields
with blood. 1t is ungcuerous to recount past fil-
vors, so long they are appreciated but it ceases
to be when they utterly forgotten, and we
therefore remind our Ohio neighbors OF those con-
lerred by Kentucky, and insist that we have right
to command them to be sensible honest and patri.
otto men.
If that State encourages the sentiment in favor
of notification, which has fluurished rapidly in
her limits for the last few years, she cannot hope
to retain the sympathy of those whose fortunes
and whose lives cast in n border State like Ken
tucky Our interests imperatvely demand that
we shall endeavor tc crush out the spirit of disu.
niun wherever it arises in the nation, and if it is
ever necessary for the General Government TO use
force in quelng such spirit in any neighbor
State and especially in Ohio, she may expect once
more to behold Kentucky army marshalled upon
her soil. We do not threaten our neighb0r State,
but do assert that the men of Kentucky feel
that they will be fighting their best battle, when
/ fighting against rebellion, either in the North or
South for in doing this they may keep off the hor
rors of war from the dwelling places Of their
wives and children, but if they wait for dissolu-
ton this cannot be done. They know that their
cherished State will be the FLANDERS of the war;"
that must follow disunOn, and therefore will ever
be willing to put to the sword all those who seek
to entail so great a calamity upon her, if by doing
so, they can possibly avert it.
