Another Military Outrage.

Our readers have already been made
aware of the unpara lelled outrage recently
com mitted by Col. Gilbert, of Ohio, in COM
maud at Frankfort KY, in dispensing by
military force Democratic Convention,
which had assembled for the purpose of
nominating candidates for State officers. A
plain statement of the circumstances attend
ing this high-hauded and shameful act will
be found in another column, 10 letter from
our Frankfort correspondent. Such scenes,
such acts of despotism, sicken the hearts OF
lovers of freedom everywhere. Has it in
deed come to this, that an adventurer from
a distant State, with little brief military
authority, can disperse a Convention of citi-
Zens, peaceably assembled to perform sa-
cred duty, vouchsafed to them by their
State Constitution and by the Constitution
of their country? If so, where Is our boast
ed freedom-where the liberty guaranteed
to us by our forefathers2 1t is not contend
ed that anything was done by the members
to warrant this usurpation of authority-this
tyrannical and most iuexcusable violation
of all civil rights. If this policy is to pre-
vail, we are no longer a free people under
the protection of the laws, but a military
despotism. We have not one, but many
masters. Every district is governed by q
petty tyrant, who is at once the judge and
executioner of his own edicts. Gilbert had
no more authority to do this act than he
would have to march into the State Capitol
and disperse the Legislature at the point OF
the bayonet, and his course is a tyrannical
and indefensible violation of q right that
lies at the very foundation of Republican
freedom.-Vincennes (Ind.) Sun.

The FeeIing in New YORK City.

The New York Express, in noticing the
proceedings of Democratic mesting in New
York, where about fifty millions Of capital
was represented, says:
AT the next meeting, to which Mr.. Dra-
per, if he pleasss, can send Provost Mar
shal-who car be admitted to look on we
think 100000, 900 will be present.
The fact is, both the rich and poor of this
great mercantile city, the millionaire aud
the begsar, go hand and hand, heart and
heart, against the present Administration Of
the Government. The Five Points and the
Fifth Avenue, for the first time in our ex-
perience, are as one, with one heal, against
Proclamation Law and sll that sort of law.
The poor will vote and the rich will print.
Such conspirators in this city voted nearly
3S, 900 majority the last election, but the
next election their majority will run mp to
about $4,000. What does the Post propose
10 do about ftp tl1 s,
We do not know what the, Post PROPOSES
10 do, but we know that there are influential
Abolition politicians. who propose that, 20
they can not carry the elections, to abolish
them altogether, and establish q military
despotism over the land Gin. Eng.

10 the Editors Of Weekly Bulletin.
DEAR SIRs: tender my thanks for copy
of your paper of the 26th ult., and 1 here
with incloss you One dollar for copy oI
said paper for one year to come. And al
though the sheet is small, yet It is printed
on good paper, with clear type, and is filled
with sensible and.. useful matter, we'll suited
to the times and the circumstances with
which we are surrounded. and it should be
patronized by every man In Northern Ken
lucky, who is not IN favor of having his liber.
ties and his constitutional rights crushed out
by the military despotism that now rules at
Washington.
These are times in which men should
speak out openly and Jsarles,ly, and the
Presidents arbitrary and unconstitutional
acts should be nouuced, and loudly and
boldly rebuked; for we are fast verging to the
point which will soon determine whether
we are to be free people-with a constitu-
ton which secures to US all our rights, or
whether we shall be the victims of a mill
tary despotism which shall crush out our
liberties and load us with taxation that will
rob us of our honest earnings in all time to
come.
Who would have believed-a few years
ago, that Kentucky-proud, chivalrous Ken
lucky, would ever have submitted to the
degrading and oppressive outrage committed
by Col. Gilbert, at Frankfort, within few
rods of our StaIe-bouse, and under the nose
of our Legislature then in session; and that
too, by the authority or with the sanction of
a majority of that body. Shame! shame! on
such crouching, cringiug, pusillanimous SER
Witty. But we rejoice to know that all Of
the members of our Legislature, are not such
servile creatures, and we are proud to say
that the Senator from Bracken, Mr.. L. F.
Marshall, is an honorable exception. He is
one OF few who has backbone and courage
enough to stand up in the midst of such
servile creatures, as Whitaker, Prall, and
Speed, and denounce the tyrannic acts of
Lincoln and his sycophantic satellites here
and elsewhere.
What contrast between the Senator from
BrackeD and the Senator from Mason. The
first stands up boldly and fearlessly, and de-
nounces the Presidents. Proclamations and
other arbitrary acts, in uumeasured terms,
and protests against furnishing another man
or another dollar to prosecute the war, until
those unconstitutional acts are revoked. But
the Senator from Mason, after having utter
ed thunderipg philippe against the Presi-
dents Proclamation, crouched down in the
most submissive manner, and insisted that
Kentucky must sustain the government
let the consequences be what they may."-
Which reduced to plain English, means that
must keep her ffty-two Regi-
ments in the 6eld-which are now mostly
in the Southern States. and compel them to
fight and struggle every day, to carry out
and enforce the very proclaim alton and arbi-
trary acts which he had just denounced
Fight Lincoln's ProcIamations with paper
6illets, but we must fight the Rebels with
sword and musket. Oh, consistency thou
art jewel. BRAChEN.
