Let us send for Magofiin.

Barah Magotfin. Governor of Kentucky. Is
one of the meanest meh In America. He is a
Secessionist, and isIin constant communication
Union. He is the chief magistrate of one OF
the most loyal States in the Union, and has,
by all means in his power, aided and abetted
the traitors who have invaded the State, Tor
the purpose of subjugating her people, ana
dragging them into the outer darkness OF se-
cession, where the giant traitor and apostate.
Davis, reigns over the souls of his followers,
and crushes out every spark of liberty which
ever gladdened their hearts. lie is known
to be saturated with hatred of the Union
and of all Kentuckians who do not follow
the infamous lead of John G. Breckenridge,
and yet he has not the decency to resign the
Office to which the people of Kentucky cleo
ted him. lie received cutting rebuke
from the President not very long since. lie
wrote a long letter to that fuuctionary ask
ing that for the sake of peace in Kentucky.
the camps of Union soldiers in the State
II .ght be disbanded The President told him
IN reply, that he had cohversed with many
distinguished Kentuckians, including a ma =
iority of the Kentucky Congressman, hut
that not one of them agreed with him (Ala-
goffin), and concluded his letter in these
words:
4 most cordially sympathize with your
Excellency in the wish to preserve the peace
of my own native State, Kentucky but it is
with regret | search and cannot find, in your
not very short letter. any declaration or in
timaticn that you entertain any desire for
the preservation Of the Federal Union.
Magohin gracousy informed the Legisla-
ture in his recent message that he would
" bow in respectful submission to the ma
iority of the people, thereby admitting that
they had by their votes rebuked his com.
plicity with the secession traitors Here is
his language:
"My respect for State rights and STATE
sovereignty will make me bow in respectful
submission to the majority of her people, SC
long as | am a citizen of Kentucky"
So long as Bariah is citizen of Kentucky
he will not fight against her people. This
promise he makes, not out of any respect for
the National Government, but because he re-
spects State rights and State sovereignty
But he does not promise to remain a citizen
of Kentucky for any given time We ex-
pect soon to hear of his fight from that State,
and of proclamation written by him in Ten
nessee, declaring Kentucky out of the Union,
and "appealing to the Almighty Ruler of
the universe for the rectitude of his inten
tions," as Claib Jackson, late Governor of
Missouri, did, when he abdcated, and sew
cred the cords wh,h bound his State to the
Federal Union.
But it is some comfort to know that Ma
coffin will not openly fight his own people
$50 long as he remains citizen of Kentucky
If he should suddenly cease to be a citizen
of tkat Commonwealth, it is a consolation to
know that no worse man can succeed him.
Magoilin and Mcconnell are of the same
school of politicians. They will both "go as
Kentucky goes" if she will rebel but only
bow IN Submission as long as they remain cit,
izens, if she persists in remaining true to her
National obligations. There is good open
ing for Bariah, in California il he chooses to
leave the coercioniets of Kentucky. Here,
men of his stamp are wanted, to aid in bring
ing about fusion between 'the two wing;
of the Democracy" The Pony brings u;
news that the brave and loyal Anderson has
taken the field to drive the traitors out OF
Kentucky. The Mngoifin ewing of the De-
| mocracy" cannot fuse with the Anderson
wing in Kentucky But some people tell us
that, in California, the foolish family quarrel
between the traitors and loyalists can be set
tied. Let the thermometers send for Magoffin
10y all means and if Claib jackson can be
spared from Missouri, he ought to come too.
Will not some advocate of union of The
two wings attend to this matter? Let us
send for Magoffin.
