The business now On our hands is to finish up
what our fathers begun in rs. That glorious
preamble to the Declaration of Independence
the assertion of the essential equality of all
men before the law-has been too long "glit-
tering generality" brilliant testimonial to
our short comings, as a people claiming to be
free. Every Fourth of July We have listened
to the glowing words, and then turned deaf
ear to the cry of oppressed millions at our own
doors. We have bcasted Of our liberty. and
sat still while this outrage upon humanity was
in full blast, and have heard great men talk
Of this great Christian institution OF human
Slavery, this provdeutial means Of Christian
izing and humanizing a degraded race and the
horrid blasrhemy has net made cur Blood tin

non opened upon I! weak and Starving gorriaon
has broken the spell, and now like a strong
man armed, aroused irom his glumbcgs, we are
to take up the great battle of human rights
where our fathers left it. VIC shook Gil the
oppressive rulo Of England, bat We did not
shake off the legacy OF shame she left US. Sat
isGed with wha, we had gained for white men,
we failed TO regard the claims Of the colored
race in our midst, whose riGht arms had helped
us, and now after 80 long II time, and after 50
much effort to harmonic what in the nature Of
things cannot be harmonized, we are compelled
to finish up the work. Let us accept the res

orc writing their names nobly on the page of
history The st. Louis Democrat says:
g Since the Presidents constitutional requi-
eition upon the State for troops, to which Jack
ecn returned traitors reply true Mssourians,
have been aockins by thousands to the support
of tho American ensign. The numbers seeking
to be enrolled have constantly been greater than
could be received. The four Regiments cale
Tor were filled at once, and four additional Reg
lments OF Union home, guards were promptly
organized and only awaited permission to enter
the United States service as reserve guards -
But there remained companies Of first class men
who had organized and measurably PERFECTED
themselves in the drill, and who sought place
among the regularly drafted forces at the Arse
nal. Out of these were formed rifle and artil
lery battalions, which were drafted to the four
Regiments. Still there were companies demand
ing recognition, more than enough of them for
an additional Regiment. which accordingly has
been organized"

CHEERING News FROM OLD KENrucXY.-
Special dispatches from The Seat of Govern

be found under our Tcegraphic head announce
the gratifying news that the Legislature in
both branches have concurrcd in measure re-
quiring the State Guard to take the oath to
support the Constitution Of the United States
that tho House bill for arming the State, as
recommended by their miserable secession Gov
erncr, has been rejected, and what is still better,
the resolution that the Governor recent proc
lamation gives the true position the State
should occupy, has been voted down. This is
truly good and important news from Old Ken
lucky. We could not believe that this gallant
and generally loyal State would be content to
occupy tho half reasonable position indicated
by that proclamation, which was intended for
nothing more or less than the best movement
that lty au thor dare make in favor of secession
