Kentucky.

Kentucky is one of the most PLAIN spoken
sisters of our glorious family of Stetes. She
never minces words. When a great issue is
before the country, she is generally on the
right side, by vote which it is no sort OF use
for those on the wrong side to attempt to
overcome. Shei is proud, too, and will not be
told by rebel demagogues what she snail do
Her position at the present time is in har-
mony with her past history. When tho diE-
union conspirators broke up the National
Democratic party, in order to accomplish the
.section Of Republican President to the end
that the result might be made pretext for
the present rebellion, Kentucky rebuked her
own son, the Disunion nominee, at both the
State and National elections, by immense
maiorities for Union candidates. Since the
commencement of the rebellion, she has occu-
pied an entirely loyal position. Theeo-ealled
"neutrality" of Kentucky during the past few
months, was simply q~iet enforcement Of
the Ftaevei lars within her borders. The
Government had fuTl confidence in her ability
and inclination to take care of all the traitors
within her limits. That confidence was not
misplaced. She was not expected to furnish
any troops to leave the State, (although she
has done SOY for the very reason that all
friends of the Government wanted to see her
husband her strength for the conflict which
rebellion might precpitate upon her at home
She mas repeatedly, by her votes. declared in
thunder tcnes for the Union, the Constitution
and the enforcement OF the laws but this has
not prevented the insolent land-pirates, in
States South Of her, from invading her soil,
and launching the horrors Of civil war at the
doors of Kentucky homes. Yhe treacherou5
Governor (Magoflin) having been forced by
the popular will to demand the unconditional
withdrawal of the rebel invaders from Ken

until people in Kentucky cease wearing Fed
sral uniforms Then wakes the age ofiron,
and with noble dignity, Kentucky speaks.
The utterance is brief but the words have
gone forth and will never return. Her Leg
islature says 10y nearly unanimous vote:

Kentucky, and insultngly dictate terms upon
which they will retire therefore,

The Union of Union Men in Ohio.

The following important piece of news
was brought by the Pony which arrived on
Friday;
The State Union Convention of Ohio met
at Columbus on the 9th. 1t was very large
and enthusiastic. Thos Ewing presided.
David Todd, Democrat, was nominated for
Governor. and the balance of the State
ticket is divided between Democrats and
Republicans
AS we reminded our readers in our last IS
sue, David Todd presided over the National
Democratic Convention which nominated
Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency. The
magnanimity of the Ohio Republicans in this
matter proves them true patriots They
could have elected straight Republican
ticket in that State; but chose to make good
their professions of desire to obliterate old
party lines, for the sake of the Union.
When Republicans are willing to say that
they aim only at the preservation of the
Union, and not at the enforcement Of any
merely partizan creed, we believe them
much more readily than we do the NJ econ
nell politicians, who say they will ego as
Kentucky goes, and then, while Kentucky
is reaching forth her arm against treason, de-
clare that she is aiding in an Abolition war
David Todd will receive about four fiths
of the vote Of Ohio. The fools and thieves,
led by Vallandgham, and the red-hot Abo
litonists Of the old school, will vote against
him

PRENrIca CAsncArEs A DEsERrER.- The
Louisville journal thus comments upon the
surrender of Hon. Thomas A. r. n olson to
jeff Davis:
I'VE have always had a high opinion of
Mr. Nelson, but his act, under all the crcum-
stances. is as cowardly one as a coward
ever committed The case of Mr.. Bridges,
however, who, like Nelson, was elected to
the United States Congress, and, like elson,
was caught by the Confederates while at
tempting to escape to Washington, is still
more curious. He didn't wait to be put IN
Jail, but procured his discharge by pledgng
himself to his captors to raise a regiment to
fight against the United States, and he is now
raising bis regiment.
These revolutionary times throw up some
strange specimens of human nature to the
vision of mortals"
We commend the foregoing to the notice of
such Union men in this State as propose the
surrender of Union Democrats to the spies
and agents of Jeff. Davis, who still remain
with us either from choice or necessity.
Bona, THE MusIcGAN-The Mountain Mes
senger gives the following interesting sketch
of the life of V. Bona, who was killed at La
Porte few days ago by Mexican boy:
V. Bona was born in Naples, Sicily, on
the 2Sth day of July, 1927. lie graduated
in the Royal Musical College in his native
city, and was 40 doubt the most thorough
musician that ever visited California As
performer on the violin, his favorte ins,ru-
ment, we have never seen his superior, save
Ole Bull. Signor Bona wasa traveller hav-
ing journeyed over France, the principal
cities of the United States, Mexico and south
America, as "A leading musician He emigra-
ted TO this State in lS49. since which period
he has been engaged in numerous enterprises,
many of them Of stupendous nature. He
will be remembered by many as the leader
of Bona's Brass Band, in Sacramento, in lS5l
and 1852. He visited his Italian home since
bis arrival in this country. In 1859 he came
to La Porte erected large building, known
as the El Dorado Saloon, used us drinking
establishment and theatre, and occupied il
until the recent fire in this town; and had
nearly completed new building on the old
site at the time he vas murdered Bona led
