mendous applause, and cries of " that's so !"1
Those States aro not loyal who impose oven q
passive resistance to tho Governments. and
Kentucky ,,ast form no. exception to the rule
IIe would not let a musket or an ounce of
AMMUNITION or provisions 60 to Kentucky.
wc well Know where their destiny is, if once
they cross the river"
Mr.. Darr said 4.
He knew. merchants who had prepared
shipments for the South, but he had got their
faithful, promise that these shipments should
not be sent Yesterday morning he visited
tho louisville Mail. Company, and informed
them of tho feeling of the citizens, aud they
not only promised him that no provisions
should be shipped to Louisville, bnt that'noth-
ing which was considered contraband of war
should be carried in their boats or propelled
by their machinery"
Gen. S. L. Gary said that in Louisville cx.
pcditions in aid of tho Southern Confedcrcy
were fitted out openly, and the men who pre-
tended tobe for tho Union did not rcbukc
them. If there be Union men in Kentucky
they should come out and let us know who
they are. Unless they speak now they are
traitors. We can only recognize as friends
those who are active for the Governments
Lot those who arc neutral have neither aid
nor comfort. [Chccrs.1
Our work is greater than that done by our
fathers, for it is more difficult to sustain than
to erect government. This rebellion must
DC crushed at any cost, even if the country
be converted into howling Wilderness, to be
inhabited by better race of mon.
The meeting was addressed by many other
| speakers IN similar train, when the following
resolutions were most cmphatically endorsed !:
=. ResotOed, That any man or set of men, in
Cincinnati or. elsewhere, who knowingly sells
or ships one ounce of flour, or pound Of pro.
visions, or any arms or other articles Which
arc contrabrnd 20 war, to any person or any
State which has not declared its firm ietermf-
nation to sustain the government in the pres
ent crisis, is a traitor, and deserves the doom
of traitor.
| General Cary offered the following, which
was adopted with one hearty and unanimous
"ayo:"
Resotocd, That if the Union men of Ken
lucky will stand by the Hag of our country,
We will stand by and defend them, now, and
when the war is over.
Tho following was adopted unanimously:
Resot0ed, That i'll the sense of this meet
ing, EARNED neutrality" by any State of this
Union is rebellion to tho Government.
DIR. Jordan offered the following, which
was adopted, after which tile meeting adj
journcd
Resolced, That it is tho opinion of this
meeting that no more troops should be marched
around the city of Baltimore.
FRIGHTFUL FAILURES IN New YoRK.--
The starving thousands in New York will uc-
rive but little comfort from the following,
which appears in the New York Duy Book
of Saturday last:
morning contemporary says there have
been over two hundred failures in this cty
since the twcnty-sccond of April. A we'll
informed mercantile gentleman assures us
that the number of failures within the last
month cannot be much less than three hun
dred. And this is but the beginning of the
horrible end. The failures, the prostration
of business which we now SEQ on every side
OF us, is but the commencement of the gc,l.
eral wreck aud misery which must fall upon
all classes, as this cruel and unnatural war
progresses. The price Of all kinds of pro.
visions will almost hourly increase, while the
means of procuring them will constantly di-
minish. The amount Of protested paper al
ready in our banks forotelling a commercial
crash, which must end III the annihla.ion Of
all business, and in depriving hund.eds of
i thousands OF the very means Of support and
OF even tho nccossaries of lifc Real estate
has no sale at any price rents must tumble
enormously; the landlords will find that the
tenants will bc unable to pay them the price
of provisions will soon be entirely beyond
tho, ability Of the poorer classes to procure
and tho ,visage Of want, of untold distress
and anguish will stand everywhere in ou,
streets, end in the doors of our houses.
While the President receives regular his sal
ary of $4,000, and the members of his Cab
met $4,000 a year, in the name of right
eous God, what are tho poor people to do p
The Administrations is laying out work for q
five years war, and when it is ended, there
, will be nothing to show forit, but the ruin q
our merchants; the starvation and aonora
zation Of our people, the graves Of our dead
/. and the bleeding hearts of our widows anc
orphans. How will these men answer to ,
righteous and offended God for all these
hanelcss and needless horrors ?--all of which
might be .honorably ,ayortcd by calling Con
eral Convention of NIL the States for tho sot
