the ranks Of the common soldier pro-
claimed that with them and tho brave men
of. Kentucky he would peril his life and

1T all informed OF the facts, tiat the meas
urss OF l!:cse mer threaten to produce one
Of the most horrible civil wars that ever
| occurred in Christian land, and that their
purr.se Will be accomplished, unless the
people rise in body and denounce them
and .lcir measures, and drive from the
State the mcrcenary invaders who support
+, them.
