soil should at once be strongly occupied. is oc-
cnpatiOn is the only means By which the loyalty
now in The State can be preserved. If the Pres
ident .hinks to bold Kentucky By means OF tam
perng, time.serviDg, and chicken hearted polil'
cians, he should learn Lesson from tho Eu'J1ga-
ton which has been effected in East leDheSsee'
and tie shameful abandonment OF manhOOd Oy
some Of her leading men. There is no tellng
when some particular policy OF tho GoVe'nihen''
or some particular conduct of some OF OUT "eh-
erals in command, may be made tho pretext ior
q stampede OF politicians from their aleg'ance'
You must remember that Gen. Andersons retufn
of the rebel fire at Sumter was made the pre-
text Of desertion by the bypocrites in Tennessee,
who stood at the head of the Union party ABOUT
Nashville. Something may occur IN day Per.
baps, that will give excuse to large portion VI
ours to throw up their attachment 20 the CIl0n.
They may go over In body TO the enemy. Inc
faithful Journal may be suppressed or handcuheu
as The NashUii!e Banaer was, and We may 10
shht up 10 darkness, with The Courier to reign
over us, and vigilance committees to outrage ouT
citizens, As for our noble Home Guard, What
are they but muster-menl" They hove neither
head DOR tail, nor power Of loeOmotiOn. But
few days since, when come OF them desired to
AID the United States Government IN the seizure
Of munitions of war going to Tennessee, the
Mayor Of or city and other tender-heart1d per-
sOns, who know no way Of killing dog save
that of choking him with halters, interfered ana
would not suffer them to have their muskets.
Then, their dlsc pine IL merely fauciful, as yet
They have neYer been in camp day.
If may not call upon the President, os
citizen Of Kentucky, for protection to Kentucky,
I think | may cry out, as citizen OF the
United States, for the protection OF Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois. In THE capacity, solemn-
ly demand that the cheat OF Kentucky quiescence
be abandoned at once. AS matters now stand,
one night may bring about the precipitation OF
Kentucky, and the partial invasion Of Indiana.
The Government owes it 10 that noble State,
which is all loyalty, TO possess aud hold with
strong force tho STATE Of Kentucky; and think
tho Union men Of Kentucky have right them
selves to claim that it be done. Without mill
tary occupation, the office Of Surveyor is nero
farce in tbis State. Under the present arrsDge'
ment, the Surveyor of the Port Of Louisville
with all his faithful intentions, can no more
excrcNe his functions in accordance with the
Constitution of the United States, than be can
maintain civil liberty in Turkey, or punish
polygawyin Utah. There are beastly, blood
thirsty rebels, from Tennessee und States further
South sqjUurning here as agents to smuggle
through tho mest deadly kinds OF contra
band goods. They are openly aided and
abettcd by traitors resident in Louisville and
along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
aod the Ohio River, and take malicious
pleasure in laughing to scorn the officers
Of the Government. These do tho heary business
Of smuggling. The more tTmid practice irauds,
and obtain pcrmits. These frauds 1t is impos;i-
bio fox the Surveyor of Louisville to ferret out,
ns the Southern counties are in actual rebellion,
though full of loyal people. Men known as
merchants ia those counties come up u
Louisville, buy goods, present tier invoices, and
ipsst on having permits. Ii they are refused,
