| Kentuckians, we must not overlook our own
dangers, nor neglect to provide for them. We
have been over-run by invading armies and
marauding bands of guerrillas, and are still
likely to have them to harass u.s. With pro-
per and thorough organization of our enrolled
and volunteer militia, this could not long con-
tinue. We should thoroughly organize, and
should revive the spirit of our ancient defense,
which characterized our fathers, and gave to
their homes protection against not more
savage foe. a We shonld be prepared to meet
our enemies and invaders as Kentuckians
should ever do, with q devoted loyalty, an un-
faltering courage and patriotic determination;
welcome them with bloody hands to hospit-
able graves. Our homes must be protected;
we can do it five will Let US will it, and
do it.

upon us by the rebellion, we should not per-

obligations and duties to the future The
education of our youth must be provided for
Our common schools should be cherished with
earnest solicitude. We must feed the mind of
our coming youth. And whilst we transmit to
them an undiminished and an unbroken herit-
age of Freedom, we should see that they be
lifted to receive and pass it down, not i'm
poverished, but enriched to their successors.
Our Jacksons, our Clays, our Websters, have
passed away, leaving US the light of their ex-

And last, though not least he of the sage coun-
sci, and OF the eloquent tongue; the mould of
manly chlvalry; the type and embodiment of
a pure and lofty patriotism; that perfect model
of Kentuckian, JOHN j. CRITTENDEN, has
been gathered to his fathers, and Kentucky is
left lonely and in tearsl! To our common
schools we must look, as the nursery of men to
fill their places, and prolong their fame.
- The Improvement of our country, by using
every available means; the encoura cement of
agriculture and promotion of mechanic arts,
by afording every facility and practicable aid,
are duties which devolve upon the statesman,
and claim the attention of every lover of his
country.
Our public charities should not languish for
want of support, but be expanded with the
growth of our means, to the full measure Of a
wise and humane PHILANTHROPY.
