Emancipation in Kentucky-A Dilt-Hat-
 1., %he Rack


 ing Journal on the Rack.
 The senators.in the federal congress from Kentucky have taken strong grounds against the emancipation doctrine, which has already become the great dogma of that body. and their remonstrances lave drawn upon them the abuse of the radical iournals-among them the New York World. That prince of dirt. eating jour nals, the Louisville Democrat, howls pitifuly at the World in it's issue of the 22d, and threatens a resort. by Kentuckans to arms, II necessary, to resist the abolition mania:
 The New York World, in an article headed Kentucky" comments upon the course oi the 1 two senators representing this State, charging them with all sorts of crimes. It IS especially angry at Mr. Davis declaration that this State would resist unconstitutional measures. The 1 World, with bombastic threatening, after pro- fessing conservatism, tells us that the temper of the northern people, is not such as will hear l datiently to such language.
 | Really, if the temper of that portion of the northern people has arrived at such depraved condition that it cannot hear patiently of resist ance to unconstitutional measures, 1t IS high 1 time it should lose its temper. It was our be. lief that the whole of this warto crush rebellion was based essentially upon that very principle, resistance 10 the fundamentally unconstitutional policy of secession. Itis this which has strength ened our armies, maintained our credit and made our cause sacred.
 k Perhaps the world will tell us that this is all wrong; that the temper of the northern people will not hear to this aggravated instance ot re- ssfance 10 unconstitutional measures. lt can find allies enough in the rebel States to declare that the temper of the southern people Is such as to hear with patience of resistance to the un- constitutional measure of secession. It is just a parallel with the style of language used in the Sonthern State~. IL is the same n-glorious, empty ignorant Roasting that characterized the rebels and hocussed them into their violation of the constitution.
 Ratient or impatient, whether they were vii ling to hear of it or not 1t amounts to the same thing. They did hear of 1t. and have heard of 1t frequently. Now we can tell the World and all and sundry of its persuasion, that patiently or impatently. it may exre t to hear of cOncer- ted resistance to unconsttu ional measures. not in Kentucky alone butthro ghout the Northern as well as the Southern States. When resist ance to them ceases, or when people tamey submit to unconstitutional measures, and lick the hand that strikes them, there is very little hope for liberty or safety.
 Of course the coloring sought to be placed upon the declaration is that the people Of Ken lucky propose to resist by arms the laws of the
 
 Unconstitutional measures have been, time and again. resisted in this country and doubtless will he again without regard to he sensitive ne1veof al such as coinside with the World. Arms IS the last resort, and IS only used when all other means fai when the constitution and the will of the people alike tramped under foot by usurper. h the constitution various modes of redress for evils are pointed out The protec on Of the courts, the sovereignty of the States, the appeals to the people, all united, form means of redress in any contingency, without resortng to arms. The struggle will be to preserve the constitution and tour rights ill the Union, not out of it.
 It is no news to us that the World is opposed to resistance to unconstitutional measures. We know it to belong to that party which has de- clared repeatedly through it's leaders that loyalty to the constitution was treason to the country, and we were prepared to find an outbreak from it. Neither are We surprised at the empty va boring about the temper of the northern peo- pie. We know their temper quite as well, per hans as tle New York editor. We believe them to be frank, loyal and resoute in main taining the constitution, and such politicians as control the columns of the World are in far more danger from it's exhibition than any of the loyal people of Kentucky.
 
 lucky will resist unconstitutional measures, 1t by nc meaus excludes the idea that equally re- s0ute determiuaa4oi~wll be made by the north ern people. If the World does not know it, the ] World i5 upside down. If its temper is anyways spoiled by such ar avowal as we have alluded to, then 1t had better have it retempered and put in better order.
 The people of Kentucky are not petitonug for any rights. They demand them equally due to them all. The time has never been when she was unwilling to do so, or hesitated to dis charge her duty in the premises If the New York World or the New York World party attempts to make the distress of the country the occasion for destroying 1t, it null he tound Mat Heir temper rW De cooled read3y and quickly enoagh, g arms y neces> sa,y
 The people of this nation do not expect, aher a gigantic struggle against one section to pre- serve the Union and con n,titution, to allow another set of demagogues on the Atlantic Dor 1 der or n the dirty pools of New York politics | 10 inaugurate another.
