Colonel Taylor first addressed the audience,
briefly referring to the early history of Ken
lucky and OF Ohio, and showing the necessity
of preserving friendly relations between
them. His views are well known.
Mr.. CTittenden followed. His remarks
were quite brief. He said that Roman
| veteran, after thirty years of public service,
was discharged from further labor. He had
been thus engaged for forty years and was
now called upon to take the first lesson. He
was born in the County or Bourbon, in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. Every path
ibat he had pursued on every subject every
sentiment now entertained he had derived
from Kentuckiaps.
We had lived to see our great institutions
shaken and reeling like drunken man. We
were really in the midst Of civil war. Armies
were mastering around us. This civil war
was not a rumor, but an actual fact. You
of the North and South are aiming your
guns at our breast. -a-.....--.-.....
What was old Kentucky to do? He wanted
beT to do her duty, to preserve her honor
Her bravery could not be denied. 1t hat
been tested on too many occasions. Bu
Ken,uckiaDs were called upon to act part
Active hostilities were all around them
They should try and preserve the peace
He had tried to bring it about in humbl,
way in Congress. No one could compIair
| OF hentucky tnat sne nau Drought on Jul
strife. She had always fulfilled her consti
tntioDal obligations, and had right T.
maintain her neutrality. He contende
that it was the highest Office she could fl
to raise the hand of mediation betweel
brethren.
Both parties were urging Kentucky t.
fight. She might have the choice of sides
but we could do both sections infinitely NOR
good by our present position. He was il
favor OF an armed neutrality. Sections sail
they could not trust Kentucky in this posi-
tioD. Why not? Had she ever violates
faith before2 Should Kentucky go out L
Join vulgar fight. No. Would she secede
Kentucky secede He had never though
never dreamed of such a thing. Kentuck
= knew her rights and her duty, and until sh
was forced, by circumstances, to do othel
wise, her present course was the right on
for her TO pursue.
Mr. Crittenden's remarks were warml.
applauded throughout.
