! fled with the treatment of this government
to maintain the Union nor satisfied with the
course of his own State, he has assumad the
important duty oforganizing another govern
ment for The better protection OF the lives,
property and liberty oftbe people OF Kentuc-
ky, and in this undertaking he has employed
simon Buckner, who is not only somewhat
aSsimilate in name, but the deeds OF Simon
Girty, who once headed the Indians in Ken
lucky. Three times has the gallant state
OF Kentucky declared by overwhelming ma
joritics that she would not leave the United
States to run after strange gods, or for the
so called Southern Coniederacy and to re-
lieve them from despotsm and to protect
their rights All, we were deceived, we were
told by the executive Of this SO called South
ern Confederacy, that it vas intended to re.
spect the condition Of Kentucky, which it
was pretended would not be done by the 60
vernment of the United States.
The Union men Of Kentucky never did
deny the right of the United States Govern
ment to occupy its soil for the exercise ofthe
purposes imposed by the Constitution
Kentucky had acknowledged her obligations,
and expressed her determination to fulfil
them. The proclamation ofth Governor Of
Kentucky deceived the people, but the Leg
slature denounced it.
Two messengers Of peace were sent to the
Executive Of the United States, and one to
the President of the Southern Government
to know what was intended to be done With
Kentucky. The former said it was inten-
ded to maintain the laws and the Constitu
tion Of the United States, and that this was
believed to be the will OF the people of Ken
lucky. The latter declared that he intended
to respect the neutrality OF Kentucky, as un-
derstood by the seces sion party in that State (;
but the Southern press did not tell them
that he had matured plan to assail them at
three different points. Nor did he tell
them there was on the Statute book Of the
Southern government law providing mcney
and means not to sustain Kentucky against
oppression but to carry her into the South
ern Conederacy against the majority Of two
thirds OF the entire State.
| The provisional governor Of Kentucky was
sent TO see the government at Richmond, -
Meanwhile Mr.. Burnett was at the head Of
the new order of affairs in the discharge Of
his duty, and an armed force had been gath
cred, composed Of young, desperate and reck-
less men, commanded by Buckrer.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wickliffe said, with the
blessing Of God, predict that by the 25th
of December no hostile foot will de found on
the soil Of Kentucky. Applause.

Burnett was odopted. FsF
