ing of the Home Guards at Turner's Hall,
night before last, was fine affair, not less
than 1000 persons being estimated to be

UNION MEETING OF CINCINNATI, CovINGToN
AND NEWPORT "A Union meeting of the
Home Guards of Cincinnati, Covington and
Newport, wos held in Odd Fellows Hall,
yesterday afternoon, tat half past three
o'clock. Miles Greenwood, Esq of Ciucin
nai wss called to the chair; N. B. Stephens,
OF Covugton, appointed secretary, and
Mayors Hawkins of Newport, and Goodson,
of CovingtoD, elected Vice Presidents.
The Chairman briefly stated the object of
the meeting. co., Jones made an earnest
speech in favor Of friendly relations between
the cities. He was a Southern man. He
had many relatives in the South; he had
also many friends in the North. He was in
favor of the Union, which had once been,
still is, and always will be glorious. He
counseled moderation. Let US not fulfill the
maxim, "Whom the Gods wish to destroy
they first make mad" He wished Kentucky
to maintain her present position of armed
neutrality, so that she would be prepared to
resist the inVasions of either party. and to
speak peace to both. Were the Ordinance
o Secession submitted TO the people of Ken
tucky 10 morrow, be believed they would
vote il down by 80 900 majority. He closed
by offering the following Resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
I" Resolved: That from recent and we'll
euihe Dticsted assurap ces of the mutha n view
ard intentions of the authorities of the States
Of Kentucky aud Ohio, this meeting has un-
donbred confidence that the peace and safety
Of both sides of the river in this vicinity are
secure, and that there are no grounds for ap-
pretending any disturbance ofthese relations,
I II the citizens of each side will determine 20
sustain their respective States in these in
ttptions; therefore i. .r't a
/" "Resoioed: That this meeting do most
empbstically call upon the local authorities,
tbe press, and upon all good and laws abiding
citizens to unite for this cause to refrain
from all aggressive and exciting action,
speech or conversation /; to strive to suppress
81 false rumors, and, by example and influ-
ence, 10 do all in their power to encourage
and establish moderation and ordor among
all our people"
Further remarks were then made by
Colonies Finbell and Taylor. Tha latter
SAID Kentucky owned to low. water mark on
the Ohio River, and he thought that if a
battery was planted at Cairo to stop Ken
lucky trade with the South, resistance
should be msde.
All the speakers spoke warmly for the
Union, and were enthusiastically applauded.
The meeting adjourned till Saturday
next, at half past three o'clock, when they
will meet at the 0dd-fellows' Hall, in
Covipgton. sIl

THE Duty OF KENTUCKY IN THE PRESENT
CRisIs-From the leading article in the
Lexington (Ky) Observer we take the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
Kentucky, in our Judgment has clear
path of DUTY before her. She has not been
consulted about any of these matters. The
seeded States have acted without consulta.
ton or advice with their sister slave States
of the Union; in fact, the counsels of the
Border States and their cooperation in the
movement they have taken have been con-
temptuously spurned, and it is the part of
wisdom now for Kentucky to look to her
own interests. A state of war is the most
direful calamity that can befall a people.
Our people ought to pause before they take
a step which may hopelessly involve them
in it.
While Kentucky will certainly not be in
duced, under any conceivable circumstances,
70 lift an arm against her brethren of the Sc
eeded States, she will not rashly precipitate
herself into common cause with them, and
thus incur all the terrible consequences
which will surely follow. She still, in COM
mon with her sister Border slave States, oc.
cupies mediatorial ground, and we trust
she will be enabled SO to avail herself of her
position as to stay the tide Of war and de-
vastation which seems to be so rapidly set
ting in. We say, then, to our friends, keep
cool, and see If something can not be devised
to prevent the terrible state of things to
which events seem TO be tending,

A TEsSEssEE Vnw OF THE Policy or THa
BoRDER SLAVE STATEs.-The Memphis Bal
lstiH makes these very sensible suggestions
The slsyeholding States, still aekno nowledg-
ing their fealty to the Union, we hope, may
continue firm and united. They hold in
their hands, and may continue to hold, the
balance of power. Concert of action among
themselves is easily secured, and Cancellation
is their true policy-conciliatiOn Of the
Southern Confederation on the one hand
and the States on the Northwest on the
other. .
To the one they owe alliance by the strong
bonds OF identity, Of institutions and inter
ests, and to the other by profitable commercS
and friendly association. A position in thC
least degree hostile toward either is eseheWeC
and condemned. Independent Of both, thes'
States can well afford 10 cultivate the mos
amicable relations with them, and even clos'
alliance, for the common benefit Of all. Ger
tainly il is not their policy TO decline prof
fers Of friendship made BY either, any more
than il is 70 unite with either in such man.

in whith all those questions relating to
tariffs, internal Improvements, and other
matters, which have heretofore divided the
country into political parties are finally set
tied The old issues having been removed
from the political arena, there is now but
ore party in the country.-a party in favor Of
sustaining the Government Of the Confeder-
ate States, This party comprises every loyal
and true hearted man in the country, no
matter what may have been his former po-
htical affiliations If there are any citizens
Of the Confederate States not members of
this party, they will find a more congenial
climate in the Northern States. We trust
and believe there are very few Of the latter
class to be found - ..,-.,--.-
The foregoing is from the Montgomery
Mail The editor goes on to remark that
''party and party names having passed away,
it should be the duty ofour people to remove
from their minds all traces of former party
prejudice. This is very good. No doubt,
when the people find out what their duty is,
they will Immediately proceed to perform it.
They always dO--in the South the North,
of course, in consequences of Adams fall
the first abolition movement on record--is
perversely otherwise, The editor proceeds
to point out what should in future consti-
tute the tile to political consideration:
TN the future let merit alone be the test
by which men are to be judged. When
candidate for popular favor appears before
the people, the inquiry should not be: was
he a WhiP, Democrat, Seceesionist, Co.
operationist, or Union mani but, is he hon-
est, capable, and faithful to the Government
II these questions are afirmatively an.
swered, none other should be asked"
This is excellent and indicates change
of heart, in comparison with which, in point
of rapidity and completeness, the great feat
of the conversion of the natives of the Sand
wich Islands to Christianity and the pulmo-
nary consumption, by New England mis-
sionaries, sinks to insignifcance. We had
supposed that, in the Confederacy, the first
question to be asked concerning candidate
for Office would be Is he a good theft Can
he, while holding Office under the Govern
ment use the means which his place affords
to rob its treasury, steal its properly, and
conspire with enemies for its overthrow 2
Can he follow in the footsteps of the illus
trious Floyd, Cobb, Twiggs, wigfalI, and
Davis, the great fathers of the Confederacy ?
