The Journal further says that the President
gives Congress the hint, which It il disposed TO
take. to adopt extreme measures. II proceeds
q follows: 5 Big aas sei Il
We thus have before us tho atartlipg fact that
within . few days or weeks the President will
be called upon to decide for or against the adop.
ton Of measures which the conservative men Of
the country deem utterly fatal TO the re-estab-
consider scikb bias Favorable to their adoption
This is the plain truth, deny 1t who may, and
the revelation Of this truth marks the real turn
ing point in the present momentous struggle
Now, Of all Others, is the critical hour OF Amer

tnat Will not De put Gown or put aside Here Is
the sphere wherein the loyal masses OF our peo-
pie IN this crisis OF the nations fate can work
ehectually Tor the national preservation. We
call them to the sublime task.
| The task can be performed successfully. Let
1t be performed Mt. every cost of energy ard Of
sacrifice. We would have the General Assem-.
bly, OF Kentucky inaugurate the imperative work
by at once protesting in loyal terms, but expli
city and emphatically against the adoption Of
the measures in contemplation. Let this be
done; and let the example be followed as prompt
ly as possible by Missouri aud Maryland and Del
aware and Western Virginia, and every Other
Southern community, whether large or small
that still owns the banner of our country. Fur
thermore, let the solemn protestations be CARR
ed to Washington by delegations of the mos
communities, and be urged upon the Presden,
with all the weight Of exalted character and in
telligence seconded by the power of persona
presence. Let the loyal men of the South riss
up as one man and tell the President he knows
not what he does.
