Patriotic Address OF GOyernOr
BramIettc TO the People of
Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, March 1G.

LOUISVILLE, March lG.
Governor Bramlette has Just issued the
following patriotic address to the people of
Kentucky
FELLOW CITIZENS: In view of the distur
bsnce of the popular mind, produced by
the enrolment of slaves for the army in
Kentucky, it is deemed prudent to make
the following suggestions lOrthe benefit and
guidance OF the loyal people Of Kentucky:
Your indignation should not move you to
commit acts of violence. nor to unlawful re-
sistance. Standing as we have stood and
will ever stand, for the Constitution, the
Union, and the enforcement Of the laws
we must rcpel the efforts Of rebellion to
overthrow our Government by our gallant
soldiers in the field and meet and correct
unjust or unconstitutional legislation by le-
climate appeals to the constituted tribunals
of the Government; and through ;hc ballot
box dsplace, in the constituted moles, the
ones who pervert or abuse the trust com-
mittcd to them This is the only true
mode of maintaining the Constitution, the
Union and the enforcement of the laws.
The mere act of enrolling the names of
the slaves does not affect any right of the
citizen No draft has been ordered, nor do
we know that draft will be ordered. 1t
may or may not We should abide by and
maintain the laws, and pursue, in the
modes provided, the redress it affords. Ii
any violence or wrong to the person or
property of the citizen be committed by
any officer or soldier. against the knowledge
of the land, make your accusations in. the
mode prescribed by law, and il the conf
manding officer refuses or neglects to use
| his utmost endcavors to arrest IN othcer ol
soldier under his command, so accused. and
hand him or them over to the civil magis.
trates for trial, when Officially advised OF
| the facts, the Executive of the State vii
prefer charges and demand court-martia
| in the Union under the Constitution, anc
in accordance with law, assert and urge YOU
rights.
1t is our duty to obey the law until it i,
declared by judicial decision to be uncon
stitutonal The citizen whose propert.
may be taken under it for public use will b,
entitled under the imperative mandate o
the Constitution to a lust compensation TO
his private property so taken for public use
Although the present Congress may not d.
us justice, yet it is safe to rely upon tn
justice Of the American people and AN ap
peal to them will not be unheeded or unan
swered Peace restored, and the unity O
Government preserved, will drive to igno
minious distance, those who, in the Agcnc
of our conflict, perverted their sacred tru'
to the base uses of partisan ends and fanat
, ical purposes. Uphold and maintain on
Government as constituted, and obey, an
: enforce its Just demands, as the only hop
of preserving free Institutions.

Magic Of a word.

'Mother" is word which every bosom
responds. 1t finds it way to our hearts in
our youth, and retains its hold upon us in
our age. If fathers are looked up to for
precept, principle, and example, mothers
are relied on for tenderness aud endearing
affection. Fathers are strongholds of salty;
mothers are sources Of love and consolation.
The word Mother" is as a soft balmy
Lreese coming up from the valley--sweet;
soothing and grateful; cooling the teyered
brow, calming the rufied spirit; and trani'
quilizing the agitated heart What voice
was ever like the tender, soft voice of O
mother?

The Peoples Choice,

When the New Hampshire State Convention,
speaking for the people of that State, amidst the
widest enthusiasm declared Abraham Lincoln
it's first choice for President of the United States
it reflected the wishes of not only New lamp
shire and the New England States, but of nine
tenths of the loyal citizens of the North, and
ninety out of every hundred of the bra"e
fellows who compose the rank and file Of our
armies. Not alone was it in consequence of his
first election that this sanguinary contest was
inaugurated. Had Mr. Lincoln been President
nier the ordinary circumstances of peace and
tranquility his course had been such as to
have endeared him to the hearts of the Amcr-
can people Bat when TIE Southern conspira-
tors seized on his election and its accompanying
triumph of Republican principles pretext
for that l;nc of conduct which has since deluged
the land l.: blood. and the North with ac-
cord rallied in support of the Government it
was not TO be hoped or expected that the various
measures which the Administration found it nee
cssary to adopt in crushing the rebellion would
meet the approval of every of the millions
of minds which in n Democratic form of Govern
mcnt so frequently take such views as either in
tercst or false reasoning dictate. Among true
Unionists however, men in whose hearts their
country held the first place, all other objects
being but secondary, the acts of the Admins
tration met with ready approval. They
and recognized the necessity which called for
them, and it is this class, happily comprising
large majority, which now seeks to continue
Abraham Lincoln in the position he so worthiy
fills.
No President since the days of Washington has
had Grmer place in the affections Of the people
than Mr. Lincoln. Born and bred in their ranks.
without the advantages which wealth and early
education confer on their favorltes, he has risen
from the low;iest and most rugged paths of life
to the high position of President-a fair Illus
tration of those self-made men which our coun-
try alone brings forth. Coming from the people,
he carried wiki him to the Presidential chair the
sympathies of his fellow-men as perhaps no
other had done, and from that hour he has
steadily won his way to their Utmost hearts by
the wisdom, truth, honesty and frmness of his
measures.
Relied on. trusted and honored with conf
dence such no other man possessed, the nation
has no SON however gifted or worthy, who could
for a moment be thought Of 10 fill his place. On
him alone of all the gifted minds which direct
the country, should we rest our hopes to bring
this conflict to a termination, and leave to his
successor the Executive chair of free, happy
and united Union. From every loyal State his
nomination meets with an enthusiastic response {;
the press, rejecting the feelings of the masses,
hail the event indicative of determination
on the part of the Loyal North to bring the war
to a successful and honorable conclusion, and
they realize the fact that no event, however i'm
portant in its bearings, could be SO we'll calcu
lated to insure such termination as the con-
FINANCE of Mr.. Lincoln where he is.
