The New Orleans Bulletin leels sorry
for Kentucky, ''poor Kentucky" She
cant be kicked out of the Union. unlike
the chivalrous South. who leave at the frs,
hint. kentucky can't buy Of the North
nor sell to the South: owing TO Lincoln.
Much obliged to the Bulletin for its
sympathy, but Kentucky can take care
of herself. She has passed through
many storm, and is not frightened now.
Let the editor of the Bulletin take care of
Louisiana, and he Will have as much as
his genius can accomplish, Kentucky
lives in the Union; it is the house Of her
fathers; she has rigb! in every room of
the great edi6ce; she will not be kicked
out Of her own house, nor take any i'm
pertinent hints on that subject. Cotton
ocracy has been trying hints, and employ
ing it's short legs in trying 10 kick at
Kentucky; but il, is too short in the stride
TO reach so far. The revolulionists black
mailed our trade on our own river. We
rather pitied than resented their neces-
stOus conduct, and forbore with their
usurpatiOn of power over ourrights. They
have been trying another experiment
with great assiduty. They want 10
transfer tile war they have got up, to
Kentucky soil. They want TO shelter
their own homes and fresides, and deci-
mate those cf Kentucky. and make her soil
the dark and bloody land again. Poor
Louisiana! She has been volorousin pro-
yoking a war, and wants TO pu. Kentucky
iu front. If she had not laid at sale
distance, her prowess would have been
Tempered with a little discretion. ..s. ,,a
AS to trade-in produce with the North,
I've have fright TO it, and mean torcscrye
the right, whatever temporary suspension
may occur. 1t is chiefly important
however, to the Cotton States, as we have
sent the surplus to them, to feed their
hungry mouth, We can save that now,
and have plenty at home. The Free
Estates have more reason to sell TO us
! than we have to buy ofthsm, except Gl
The profit we could make by feeding the
J Cotton States. As they. have black
, mailed all our trade, searched even oul
( trunks in travelling, in order to levy Z
tax on us to FL their Golfers, we can lei
