will adopt no mode Of opposition which
: can in any manner check or retard those
, charged with the administration of the
Government in any legitimate effort to
suppress the rebellion and restore the ma
tional authority over the revolted States.
. & Kentucky will not affiliate with those
at home or in other States, whose mani
fest object is, uader pretense of opposition
for war measures, to cover their real pur-
pose Of GRIPPING the energies OF our Gov
eminent, paralyzmg its arm of just de-
Tense, and forwarding the aims of the re-
l bellioa. y
We cannot too strongly condemn the fac
! tious opposition of those who assah, not
I TO correct, but for the purpose OF weaken
