The true way, however, to realize what
the Americans mean by Union is to con-
slider what the word Union means at home,
represented, symboized, cemented, glori-
ously illustrated by the crown and scepter
of our own peerless Queen. We often
smile at what seems to us the extravagant
enthusiasm of an American for the "Stars
and Stripes" but that banner is to him
what the ROYAL Standard is to us, the SYM
Dol of national unity-at home, the guar
antee of liberty, order, peace, protection,
and equal laws abroad 1t represents the
moral and material power which foreign
potentates are compelled to respect. Under
the star-spangled banner the American
feels as secure of protection In Pekln as IN
Washington and no foreign power can in
iure or insult him with impunity. No Won
der that Americans should have u strong
affection for the Union. In addition TO TINS,
however. they argue that the ederal COM
pact was designed to be indlssoiuble, save
by the consent OF the States represented IN
Congress. / am well aware that the rlght
of Secession under the Constitution OF the
limited States has been affirmed as well as
denied, and do not mean here to argue
that question but must be permitted 10
saw that after having carefully consldereu
the arguments on both sides, ana having
examined the wording of the instrument
itself, have satisfied my own mind that
there is no right of voluntary secession re-
cognized in it, Secession is not, indeed,
formally prohibited, much has been made
| of this fact by the SOntherners and their
| friends; but while the whole tenor OF the
document, the circumstances in which 1t
was framed, and the very nature of the
compact itself, clearly imply that the Uni

turo met to-day. The Governor recon.
mends Kentucky to reject Lincoln's Emnn-
cipation Proclamation, and protests against
any interference with State policy as un-
warranted By the Constitution. He thinks
the proclamation freeing slaves in rebel
lious States intiicts upon Kentucky fatal
aud indiscreet blow. The proclamation
will have the effect to fire tue whole South
into one burning mass of irexhaustinle
hate, aud will destroy all hope of restoring
the Union which is only possible by adher-
ing to the Constitution, as it was most
alarming aspect The proclamation is a
usurPatiou of the powers of Government
by the President under specific military
necessity.
The Governor advises the Legislature TO
put on record their protest against the pro-
clamation.
