rights Of tie people and the sovereignty
of the States, and if sanctioned, desiruc'
ton to the Onion, and establishing upon
the common ruins of the Liberties of the
people and the sovereignty of the States,
n consolidated military despolism.
And we hereby solemnly declare that
no American citizen can, without the
crime OF infidelity to his countIy's con
stitution and the allegiance which he
bears TO each, sanction such usurpa'ions.
Believing that our silence will be crimi-
naland construed into consent, in deep
reverence for our constitution. which has
been ruthlessly violated, we do herr 10y
enter our most solemn protest against
these usurpations of power
10. That in connection with our fel'
lowcitizens OF other States we will use
our utmost influence 10 prevent the pay
ment of n single dollar of the money of
the people, unconstitulionally appropri-
ated, for the unwarated project Of com.
pensated emancipation.
II. That the enormous rluader of the
public treasury by selloonstituted palri-
OTIS, which has been rite throughout the
county, demands the closest scrutiny,
and the severest punishment should fol.
low Just exposure; and that we insist
upon their being paid for services rem

II. That we sympathize with the sol.
diels who enlisted to sustain the Consti-
tuition and the Union, in the great depri-
vations and hardships-to which they have
been subjected, in sickness and in health,
and that we demand, in the name of hu
mainly and justice. that the great frauds
which have deprived them of proper
food, raiment and care shall be exposed
and the authors duly punished.
IL. That as representatives Of a large
| proportion Of the people OF Connecticut,
we demand the fullest public exposure OF
the manner in which tie vast sum of four
millions of dollars, appropriated by our
State during the past two years, or any
portion Of it, has been expended, with II
detail Of the objects for which the money
has been used, and we protest against the
uncalled for and extraordinary appropria-
ton by the last 81 Ssion of our Legislature
of ten thousand dollars to the Governor
OF this State, 10 be used by HIM in secret
for any object he may see fit to expend it.
The election will take place the first
Monday in April.

Kentucky had assembled in the Theatre
at Frankfort on tie 18th February-hay-
ing been refused the Hall Of the House Of
Representatives by decided vote-a re-
giment Of Michigan soldiers appeared in
front Of the theatre with fixed bayonets.
Col Gilbert, the commaudeg then APP
peared in the Convention and caused the
following TO be read;
Reliable information having been re-
ceiyed at these headquarters that a num-
Der of rebel spies aud emissaries are in
this city, it is ordered that all persons
now here, not residents, or members OF
the legislature, or officers Of the State
Government, will forthwith leave their
names at these headquarters, accompa-
MED with satisfactory references as to
their loyalty to the government"
Col. Gilbert took the stand snd said.
to facilitate proceedings and save the con-
vention trouble, he, with his adjutant,
would take the names of your delegates
as they were called. He SAID: There
are tho-e here whom we know'to be reb
els of the worst kind, under disguise OF
the name Democrats. You have assem-
bled here with the hope Of perfecting your
designs, but it will not do. Repudiated
by the Legislature, who have refused you
the use of their Hallf Democratic news
papers sco.ning aud disowning you. there
is no use in your holding Convention
in Kentucky.
None but men of undoubted loyalty
to the government will be allowed to run
for any office, and such meetings as this
you shall not hold within the limits OF
my command. To avoid difficulty you
will dispense to your homes, and infuture
desist from all such attempts to precipi
tate civil war upon this State" The as.

Dangers of Vaccination.

7. Durham, Esq, Of Henry county, Ca,
has lately lost three Of his most valuable
negroes by vaccination. The virus with
which they were vaccnated was taken
from the arm Of healthy, robust negro
child; and within twenty-four hours after
insertion into the arms of these negroes,
they were corpses. This virus had al
ready passed through two human sys-
TENS, causing in them more than the or.
binary sickness usually attending thor.
ough vaccination.

The Yankee Conservation.

This measure, which has passed the
Senate, provides for the enrolment and cal
ling into service, if needs be, Of all tie able
bodied men Getoeen twenty and Jortytre.-
The only exemptions being the Govern
ors and State Judges, the only sons Of
poor widows and few others. Substan-
tally, as the New York Times says, it is
putting all the able-bodied men of the
loyal States in for three years, and all told,
the force will number three millions.
The enrolment is to be made by Off
GERS directly accountable to Lincoln. 1t
is to be called forth by draft IN such mum.
bers and assigned to duty il such places
as Lincoln sees fit. No State functiona-
ries have anything to do with it. Provost
Marshals are to be appointed in each
Congressional District, who are TO see to
the completeness Of the work.
Heavy penalties are imposed for all re-
sistance or counseling resistance TO the
draft; In fact says the Times, every part
of the bill bristles withprovisions ensur.
ing its efficiency. The Southern Confed-
eracy, it continues, has put every dollar
ana every drop of blood IN its limits at
the disposal of jeff. Davis; if we are not
prepared to make similar submission, we
might as well give up our minds for nfa-
nous and ruinous discontinue. 1t is
glad, however, that the sacrifices will be
made. The currency bill will pledge eve
ny dollar. and the CONSUMPTION act will
pledge every drop of blood, to the nation
al cause. Now, Tor the first time, it con-
tinues, we shall have the power Of the
nation pltted against tina, of the rebel
lion. 1t predicts now the successful
crushing out Of the rebellion This act,
it says furnishes the means Of puIvcising
the Southern Confederacy. 1t car now
defy armed intervention and enter q
caveat to the world. 1t now sees the
signs of ultimate triumph, inasmuoh as
the United States nOw realizes its strength
and its work. 40

say anything of the infamy, of the crime,
committed by these rebels in attempting
to overthrow the best Government in the

were wrong-taking up arms was an ir-
regular opposition to the Government;
but the words of censure vaulted into
praise. 1t was only Mr.. Lincoln and
the officers of our Government and the
agents of our people upon whom fell
