tenden spoke to-day according to appointment -
His speech was strong app cal for unconditional
Union Ho said Kentucky the first State adj

last TO go out Secession remedy for any
troubles that might exist. but would prove an ag-
syrivatOn of difficulties.
He avowed it his belief that the people of the
North loved those of the South, and cherished the
Union above party platforms. and would not per-
nit the col tinuence of wrongs upon any section
Kentucky would stand firm if all the rest of the
South to go. Though alone in her loyalty,
she would grasp the FLAG of the Union and die
among the falling columns of our Confectionery. As
things are, she hoped to win the South back
by her patriotic example.

not support two governments. Secession was a
terrible deluson better remedies were to be
found in the Union.

the finest efforts of his advancing age The traces
of time were apparent his voice is feeber than
it once was, but he is still the same glorious patri-
ct, the worthy cOmpeer of Henry Clay.
