the hands of the So colled Southern Con.
federacy, and are stimulated by every
motive of interest and honor 10 overthrow
it. This Confederacy has saught and
now seeks to break up the Union, forever
dear and necessary to them, and when by
their often repeated decisions they re-
fuse to join in the work of treason, in
fanny, and ruin, it trampled down their
State Constitution, put up a weak and
usurping Governor over them aud placed

fields, time aud again, robbed them of
their public revenues and private pro-

burned their towns and houses, carried
away their nom combaitsnt citizens into
long and loathsome Imprisonment, where
many still anguish, murdered many
of them, sometimes in their own homes
and in the presence of their families.
and sometimes by cruel and infamous
deaths, extending these atrocities even
10 women and children, thus setting al
defiance all the laws of civilized warfare:
and these efforts have continued and in
creased with the increasing aversion of
the people of Kentucky to all its wicked
designs, and nov threaten TO break with
fresh force upon that State and people

can never cease their efforts Tor their pro-
lection, the .cjndign punishment Of the
authors OF these wrongs and the com.

revOlted and the loyal States aud Of the
world may rest assured, Kentucky "will
submit 10 such desp0tism when she has
no power to resist it,"
3. ReSOlved, That il is the duty Of the
Federal and State Governments to take
timely and energetic steps for the defence
Of the soil of Kentucky against inva-
sion, the people from further plunder and
ruin; and we earnestly invoke their at

calling upon all the citizens OF the State
to second every effort in this behalf.
9. Resoigsd, That our thanks are due
and are hereby rendered TO our gallant
soldiers in the field for the brave aud de-
voted manner ia which they have hither-

lucky, aud bid them "God speed" in the
noble work OF defending the honor OF our

Union, assuring them Of our cordial,

praises OF a grateful country. That we
feel also the profoundest veneration for
the memory OF the brave kentuckians
who have fallen 10 the great struggle for
the Union, aud the deepest sympathy for
their surviving relations, whose just
claims upon the country are hereby
gratefully recognized.
