Notwithstanding the Southern habbub and excite
rnent and ecaly the rotous revolutionary demon
STATIONS in the kingdom of South Carolina, good
commonwealth of Kentucky still continues loyal to the
Union. Because one Of her sons, when quite young,
close to migrate Free State and in the course of
human events" and the fluctuations Of parties, has
become tie President elect of the United States
because he has rsen to be President, Kentucky
rot yet consent TO detsch herself from the Union.
Dir. Lincoln is not such raw bones,
Il at we need he frightened at him. People of sense in
Il State know perfectly well that be cannot touch the
peculiar institution if be desired to do and
NOS, of them know also that Mr. Lincoln is too vie
to with to make any such attempt.
IT. ere are il is true come green-horns" in the rural
dsricts who affect to believe that the election Of
Republican Chief Magistrate has tendency to make
Il negro market fuctuate, and give the Aforesaid
sable and saddle-colored commodity an upward

dangerous sancer but the opposition journals Of this and
other Slave States
They, for party purposes have gotten up the whole
story; they should remember that people can't play
with edged toos with impunity. However, there Ii no
