The citizens Of Franklin County, having been cos
yened by public notice for tho purpose OF making
known their views in relation to tne questions thAb
now 70 greatly agiate the public mind cannot refrain
from expressing their deep concern at the present con-
dition of the country.
They have not met 10 discuss Issues with view "
crimate recrminse, 70 try 70 adjust the balsnee
20 as determine who IL most at fault IL II enough
for them 10 know that the Constitution and the Unjoa
Of the United States in danger.
We are very sensible that the slaveholdng otaies o.
the Union and especially Kentucky have been trested
most inuriOntly by many OF the Northern States; ans
that by most unworthy legislation, by mobs, and va
rous EMISSIONS official and Otherwise the due executioa
of the laws Of Congress for the return Of fugitivs
Slaves has been hindered and avoided in IN unjusts
able manner, and contrary to the spirit ana letter OIL se
Constitution.
These wrongs demand redress. We have right 10
expect that redress from the returning sense Of jus
,ice Of our Northern brethren, and we intend to en-
force il By all the lawful means that too ana me Con
stitution have given us For such action those Sates
cannot be too severely rebuked. II Is fsnatoal and
uniustifabe and demands such an expression OF
opinion from Yet while we proclaim this, We ds
not believe that dtsuROn a remedy or even pallls-
ton Of the evil Other modes of redress are conteu
plated for and produced by the Constitution and shS
aws and to that protection We must resort. 49,
