issued "a proclamation appended to 4 preamble
declaring:
Whereas, In any good citizens had requested
him to forbid the march Of armed forces over
Kentucky to attack Cairo or otherwise disturb
the De .ceful attitude OF Kentucky with refer
ence 70 the Deplorable war now waging between
the United States and the Confederate States;
also stating that the same citizens requested
him to forbid the march of any United States
forces over Kentucky soil for the occupation of
any tort or place within Kentucky.
And, whereas, every indication of public sen.
tim, mt shows determined purpose Of the pe0-
pie to maintain fixed position of self. defense,
proposing and intending no invasion or aggrcs.
ION toward any other State or States, for
bidding the quartering of troops upon her
sol, by either hostile section, but strictly stand
ing aloof from an unnatural, horrid and Ia
mentabe strife tor the existence whereof ken'
lucky, neither by thought, word nor act, is any
ways responsible.
And, whereas. this policy is, in my juds-
ment, wise, peaceful, safe and honorable and
most likely to preserve the peace and amity be-
tween the neighborlng border States Oh both
shores of the Ohio and protect Kentucky from
depiorable civil war and, whereas The arms
distributed to the Home Guard ale not to be
used against the Federal or Confederate States,
but to Resist and prevent entertainments on her
soil, rights, honur and soverei gnty by either OF
the belilgerent parties, and hoping Kentucky
may become u successful mediator between them,
and IN order to remove an untounded distrust
aud suspicion of purposes, to force Kentucky
out OF the Union at the point of the bayonet
which have been strangely and wicsedly
engendered in the public mind in regard to my
own position, hereby notify and warn all other
States separate or united especially the United
and Confederate States. that solemnly forbid
any movement upon Kentucky. or occupation
OF any port or place therein for any purpose
whatever, until authorized by invitation OF
the Legislature and executive authorities
| specially forbid all citizens of Kentucky,
whether Incorporated IN the State Guard or
otherwise making any hostile demonstrations
against any of the aior said sovereignties, to
be Obetlient to the lawful authority.
