LOYALTY OR NoTHIHa.-We have reaso
to believe that there are companies forme
OF forming, both in this city and Newpor
whose sympathies, instead of being con
nected with the present Union movement
now being inaugurated between the cluste
CT cities on both sides of the rivers Ohio an
Licking, are in favor of Secession and th
extreme South, in opposition to the true in
terests of Kentucky. All companies shoul
display the American flag at their heaC
quarters, and fully and unmistakably al
nounce Union principles before they receiy
the support of the citizens. faeNi
