federal Government for it may nationally be
asked with what capacity for such remunera-

Committee, no doubt echo the sentiments of
the people Of all the Border States. when thew
say what we here quote
We do not agree with the President that
the gradual emancipation of the slaves in the
Border States wouid bring about a speedy ter
mlnatlon of the war. Unhapplly for our coun-
try, the dominant party in the Congress Of the
United States are bent on the destruction of
the Constitution and the Union. No cause
which the dlrest enemy of our country could
have imposed would, in our opinion have borne
more bitter fruits than the action of that party
gas produced. We have viewed with alarm
the rapid strides which the dominant party iu
Congress has made towards the prostration of
Xevery guarantee which the Constitution nro-
vides for the dearest rights Of the people
They have endeavored through the instrumen-
tally OF the Executive and Congress. to strip
the people Of the disatiected States of their
property; they have declared that the
war should be prosecuted until slavery shall be
swept from the entire land they proclaim
that they are against restoration of the Union
unless slavery Is abolished. The people of
Kentucky justly feel horror and alarm at the
enunclatiQn Of such doctrines They will
oppose them by all peaceable means. and If
the time shall come when the counsels of rea.
son shall no longer be needed when the barri-
ers erected by the Constitution shall no longer
afford protection. then will Kentucky rise up
as one man and sacrifice the property. and, If
need be. the lives OF her children, in defense of
that Constitution under which alone we can
ever hope to enjoy national liberty"
Such is the language of the Committee of
he Kentucky Legislature. who in another
place say, that Kentucky is opposed to
livision Of the Union, and that she will
kand by the President. so long as he stands by
Ne Union and the Constitution. " She wants
