at Washington has taken the control Of that
State in hand all has changed. The pres
encc of armies there is now required, and
those men who were with us at the outset now
come here to tell you of the injury and insult
to which they have been subjected" This
stupid reasoning is piece with the whole
speech from beginning to end. That Ken
lucky, as an integral portion Of the Govern
,nent has always been, and is to-day, loyal to
the Union, that she has ever stood by the
flag and Constitution of our land, is true
thank God and the majority of the people for
it. Seymour talks as if all their associations
Of friendship, all their sacred ties Of consan-
uuinity, were in the rebellious, seeded States,
with none whatever in the States remaining
faithful to the Union, and that they broke
away from all those sacred lies in order to re-
tain the same connection with the Govern
ment which they always held. We consider
that very queer logic. and recommend the
valiant speaker to try again, and in the
meantime, let US see how the record will sus-
tain him. He says: "But since the Gov.
ernment at Washington has taken the control
of that State in hand all has changed. The
presence of armies there is now required"
When rebellion broke out, and South Carroll
ma instituted system Of civil war by the
bombardment Of Sumter, against the Union,
the Commander in Chief of our national arms
made requisition upon the Governors Of the
several States for seventy-fve thousand men,
for the purpose Of protecting the property Of
the nation from the hands of its sworn enemies,
and to enforce the collection ofthe Government,
revenue according to the laws of the country
and long established usage. Magofin, Govern
or of Kentucky, returned in answer, under
date of April 10th, 1861, that " Kentucky will
furnish no troops to the Government for such
purpose" TIE Louisville Journal. about
the most influential paper in that State, said
"The Proclamation has reached us. We are
struck with mingled amazement and indigna-
ton. The policy announced in the PROCLAIM.
alton deserves the unqualified condemnation
of every American citizen" This is spec
men of the loyalty evinced by some of the pc.
litical leaders Of Union-loving Kentucky.
Seymour says that at the beginning Of the
war Kentucky was with us. but now We have
to keep an armed force there to retain her in
the Union. Let no man believe such perver.
