Kentucky is to have her share Of the !
war. the Infinite cunning and unscrupu- |
lousness Of the rebel leaders Of the Cotton
States which transferred the theater Of hos
tilities from their own plantations to Vir-
ginia and Missouri, will not be content
without involving Kentucky in the strife
in which she is to act as q shield to the
rebels Of Tennessee. For months past
they have been unceasing ia their endeav-
ors to push the State over the brink. Her
Governor, whose, scoundrelism is second
only to that OF Claib Jackson, her State
officers, her leading Democratic polih-
Clans, and her army Of discontinued men
all refrse 10 submit to the popular YER
dict which has been three times prsnbunc-
cd against them; but with a continuity Of
purpose and an ingenuity Of action wor-
tty Of higher ohjec7s, have been untiring
in their efforts and now, if ever, their
plans are to be consummated We know
1ot what the Government in view OF the
emergency will do. The State, aside from
the aid which she may directly afford the
Union cause, is invaluable as base Of op.
erations against the adjoining Cotton States
wien campaign is determined upon
in that quarter; aud We doubt not that
Mr.. Liacolp, seeing the imE1ineace Of the
danger, will move promptly and effectively
to her aid. That there is not moment to
lose, is plain. Her Legislature meets at
Frznkfort On the second Of September
As in the case of Missouri, her internal
enemies-thase who would deluge he1
fields with the blood Of her own sons, an6
dhrken her skies y iLh the smoke Of he
Aourishitg villages-are plotting to defea
the will Of the people reflected by thei
representatives, and by brute force t
dictate terms 10 the law makers entrus:e
with her sovereignty. They have issue
an invitation 10 q great barbecue, to b
held on the 5til, OF place hardly twe1v
miles from Frankfort, and the HON
Guard-a CREATION Of Magofdn's-an O.
ganjzed secession army Of 10000 to 15,o
strcng-is especially invited to be rrescn
This is intended TO be Camp Jackss
affair, with exaggerations demanded by t?
desperate situation. And any day af'
the Legislature gets together, we expect
hear that the members arc delibera'1
under The guns Of these disloya1 trool
end that every act required by the rel
leaders las been put through, with OF Wi
out the forms Of law, at the point Of sec
sion bsyoneta- At any rate, the moveu1<
is one Of intimidation, and should
promptly resisted.
We have IL Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, II
and Kansas, thousands Of the sons of L
tucky, .Eho are loyal almost to map.
Them the honor Of the Cummonweal 1t
eHx dear. Any stain Of treason on
escutcheon would be cause Of psrso
grief. Their ties OF blood bind them
her with hooks Of steel. To them
appeal. Let them arm for Kentucky,s
fence, and vindicate, by their y;
and pat1iotism, their boast Of hay
been born on Kentucky soil. 7
c,uld not be regarded By the most raml
seeessionists as enemies. They wouli
hailed, even by doubtful Union men
f1iends. Who in the Central and Soutl
counties of Illinois, in Iowa, Indiana
Ohio will raise the flag and call for rec
of Kentucky birth, to deliver their b.
their kindred and their friends ftou
tyranny by which they are threatened
