LlQruR EXctrEXgSr.-Quite a oommo-
ZION was created in town this Saturday
morning from the reported spilling Of bar
rel Of liquor by sheriff Bradish The facts
are about as follows Mr.. Bradish held ten
executions against the firm ofPamer & Stct-
son, who failed buta short time since. but was
able to fad property enough to satisfy only a
part Of them. lie, however, believed that
there was quantity Of liquor belonging to
them sec4eted from him. aud made dilligent
search until he was satisfied that it was in a
pile Of sawdust in the shed Of Thomas Nc
Kee, the exprcssmaa. Bradish placed keep
er over i. until he found Mckee when four
and half barrels and ono pipe Of liquor
were taken from the pile Of savdust and in
voiced. after which Blsdish agreed VITA Nc
Kce to take charge VI il until morning.
About o'clock. while Mckee was gone to
the Depot for the night mail, Sheriff Page
came with teams and took the liquor from
McKee's premises Bradish soon after found
it in wagons in Pages barn, aud proceeded
to remove it, when Page objected and ondeav-
ored to retain il. In the scramble one barrel
fell upon the ground bursting the barrel and
spilling the liquor. Sheriff Brsdish finally
recovered the remaining barrels with their
contents, and now has them in his posses

We have not doubt thas the plan Of the
disuniun party Of the state is 10 gather
large force at Frankfort as secretly as possi-
bic, take the State Arsenal, with all the can
non. arms and ammunition, tear up the rail
road. cut the telegraph wires and force the
legislature to obey their will.
This is the sort Of work that was done at
Richmond in Virginia The capitol, in which
the Convention was IN session, was surround
ed by mod Of ten thousand men, headed by
desperate leaders aud would have proceed
ed to actual physical violence if the leaders
OF the Convention bad not given their solemn
pledge that the Conycution would pass Sc
oession ordinance within forty-cight hours.
We may have chance 20 see whether the
programme 30 summarily executed at Rich
mond can be executed at Frankfort. Things
will certainly look very red there first.
On Monday last, at Blandulle, in Ballard
County, it being County Court day, a meet
ing was held AID Delegates we're appointed to
assemble in Mayfeld for the purpose Of de-
vising ufcsus ofWkiag tha portion Of Ken
lucky south Of the Cumberland River, out "
the United States and attaching it TO the Con-
fcdcrate States
At that meeting, Cap Bowman, who raised
company in this state and took it to Nir-
gina made speech calling for volunteers,
and in tina, speech said that they jcoud take
K-ntacLy om of the U.ion or take her To hell.
A good many OF these upstart traitors may
get to the place they talk about, in trying to
take Kentucky there. Louisville Journal

"lf the Union cant be restored upon the
basis Of the old constitution. the Montgomery
constitution ought to be accepted as basis,
since it gives to the South all guarantees Of

ern States could agree upon adopting the
Montgomery constitution just as it stands,
the call for National Convention might,
perhaps, be dispensed with. At any ratio we
must strive to obtain control of the Legisa-
