CORRUPTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERN
MsNr.-The st. Louis Republican don't
seem to have an exalted opinion Of the
personal members of the Lincoln Con
gress. 1t says:
The purity of the government new
er can be restored until honest men
take the seats of dishonest men who
cluster there. One Senator stands
charged with accepting q bride Of $780,
600, and has confessed its truthfuIness
by resigning a place he has disgraced.
Mr.. Dawes has charged that the pecu-
lation and frauds upon the govern.
ment, during the first year Of M.
Lincoln's administration, exceeded
the the whole expenditure Of the same
period in Mr.. Buchanan's administra-
ton.

The Invitation Ranger

One last word of warning,
To those now ut home;
Your country has ca led yon,
0 why don't you come.
Don't you hear the vain Yankees,
Firm tread upon u soil:
Marching boastfully onward,
10 kill and despoil?
Then why are you laggardl
Better choose to be brave;
And die like a hero,
Than live q slave.
We are few but still hopeful,
And resolved unto death;
That no Yankeee shall rule Ger us,
While God grants us breath.
Our W State is invaded,
Our all is at stake;
Have you wife. child or Kindred?
Then strike for their sake.
Strike too, while the foe,
Is yet upon the border;
And stop their hellish course,
OF foul raIine and murder.
Wen continue every effort,
For Glorious Liberty;
And let every freeman join us,
Our deserve not to be free.

The members Of tho Lincoln Legislature now
in session at Frankfort, Kentucky, bought, as a
majority of them are known to be by Lincoln
gold, Lincoln offices and Lincoln commissions,
have proved themselves to be the willing and
supple tools Of their ezacting master. They hes
tate at nothing that is required Of them by the
Lincoln administration, aud thus far they have
in their action gone far IN advance even OF the
Lincoln Congress.
They have recently assumed Kentucky share
Of the war expenses, and made arrangements to
pay it by the State government, knowing well
that il never could be collected by the people
They have passed law which provides Jhat
ministers or priests shall not sOlemnizs marriage
until they have fled in the Office of the county
court clerk an affidavit from some one author
lied to administer Oaths, that they have sworn TO
support the Constitution Of the United States
and the Constitution Of kentucky, and to be-
faithful to the Constitution Of the Common
wealth OF Kentucky 50 long as they remain citi-
zens thereof, and also solemnly swear tna. they
have not Joined in, aided, or abettsd the so
called Confederate States, or either of them in
the rebellion against the United States, or ia
their invasion of Kentucky, and that they viii
not so aid or comfort them therein, directly OF
indirectly, 50 long as they remain a citizen Of

but thirty negative votes to this bill in the House

They have also passed a bill requiring Jury
men, grand7jurymeu and jury commissioners to
take the following oath:
Il do swear that l haven't directly or iudi-
rectly engaged or been in the service Of the
so-called Confederate States, or either Of them,
neither in a civil or military capacity; nor into
the service Of the so-ealed provisional govern

capacity; and that l have net directly OF indi-
rectly, engaged in, counseed, advised, aided or

And they now have before them bill which
has already passed one branch, declaring COM
