"Kentucky should call a Convention

general civil war" In other words, J.C.
Breckenridge thinks it safe to come ou,
openly for Secession, as be has long been
sneakingly.

OUR NATURALIZED CITIZENS TRUE TO
THEIR OATHs.-Thirty naturalized ci,i-
zens, i, is said, Germans and Irish, who
had been compelled to enlist in the Rebel
army, positively refused to fire on the
American flag during the bombardment Of
Sumter, and were consequently arrested
snd put in prison in Charleston, where
they yet remain. The naturalized citi-
zens know that their allegiance is to the
United States government, aud that none
other can protect them from the claims Of
European governments upon them for ser
vice owed before they became citizens Of
the United States.
@-The foregoing paragraph reminds
US Of conspicuous feature of the present
absorbing contest-obvious in the region
Of cur acquaintance, and prominent in all
We see and hear from our Free Cities
the enthusiastic and unanimous allegiance
to our Government manifested by Welcb,
Scotch, Irish, Germuus, Swiss, French,
English aud other adopted citizens. The
OATH of allegiance they have taken, they
regard as having an honorable and signi-
fcaut meauing-how unlike Floyd, Cobb,
Pryor, and other Cougressmen and Ofic-
ers, who sought to betray confidence spe-
cially reposed in them, aud violated both
letter and spirit Of the holy oa,hs they had
taken, Possibly it might be well for our
natives to take the solemn vow Of fidelity
at the age of 81 1t seems that our adop
ted fellow ci'izens-baving tasted the
sweets Of our liberties and privileges, as
compared with the hardships and priva-
,ions of other governmen's-do better
understand and therefore more appreciate
the glories of our political institutions.
Like health, wealth, &c, We best know
the blessings of free, mild, but efficient
government, when we have lost it.

An OLDER "VIcToRY"-Abou. the
1lth Feb. 1880, the Whig General, Benz
Lincoln, (among whose officers was the
father of Maj. Robert Andersou) was
cooped up in Charleston By Sir Henry
Clinton and British army larger BY
1000 men. The latter pushed their as
sault SO vigorously that on the 18th May
following the Americans, numbering 3 5,6lS
men, were compelled to surrender, and
we're mostly discharged on parole as pris-
oners during the war. Nevertheless,
Charleston came afterwards into the hands
Of the Wings. Both parties confessed
about an equal loss-76 killed, and ls9
wounded, on each side Such was the VIC
tory of 81 years ago...Now see the tri-
umph of the Secessouis,s over Maj An
dersou. From 26,h Dec 1860 to 18th
April, 1861, be with &c men upheld the
American flag in Fort Sumter, surround
ed by from 500 up to 5000 enemies, and
at the end of that time, half starved and
exhausted by labors, they evacuated.
"The end is not yet Question in
arithmetic If Ben Lincoln and his An

thorough course Of legal study in the Office of

Of protting by his lavish expenditure of money,
when under the influence Of liquor, would seek

was expected, with all the horrors of de-

warning that whisky and beer drinkers
have received in Upton, and it will not
be the last, unless some whom we see
daily in our streets should stop short in
their downward career. To see man of
more than ordinary abilities, and with
many noble qualities, die thus, is surely
enough to make dram. drinkers, aud dram
sellers, too, stop and cons der the evil CT

when we were shown an egg, the product
