GOV. Bramlette,s Address Il
the People Of Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, March l6.-Gov. Bramlette
has Just issued the following address to the
people of Kentucky:
Fstlolc .citizens:-In view of the disturb
ance of the popular mind produced by the
enrolment of slaves for the army in Ken
lucky 1t is deemed prudent to make the
following suggestions for the benefit and
guidance of the loyal people of Kentucky.
Your indignation should not move you to
commit acts of violence nor to unlawful
resistance Standing as we have stood, and
will ever stand for the Constitution, the
Union and the enforcement of the laws, we
must repel the efforts of rebellion to over
throw our government by our gallant SOL
diers in the field and meet and correct un-
Just or unconstitutional legislation by le-
climate appeals to the constituted tribun>
ais Of rue government, and through the bal
lot box displace, in the constituted modes,
those who pervert or abuse the trusts com
nitted 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 slaves
does not affect any right of the citizen -
No draft has been ordered, nor do we know
that draft will be ordered. 1t msy or 1t
may not. We should abide by and main
tain the law, and pursue in the modes pro
vided, the remedy it affords. If any VIC.
leuce or wrong to the person or property OF
the citizen be committed by any officer or
soldier against the known laws of the land,
make your accusation in the mode prescrib
ed by law, and if the commanding officer
refuses or neglects to use his utmost endeaV
ors to arrest the officer or soldier under
his command so accused, and hand him or
them over to the civil authorities for trial
when officially advised of the facts, the ex
ecutive of the State will prefer charges and
demand courtmartial in the Union under
the contribution, and in accordance with the
law assert and urge your rights. 1t is our
duty to obey the law until it is declared by
judicial decision to be unconstitutional
The citizen whose property may be taken
under it for public use, will be entitled, un-
der the imperative mandate OF the consti-
tuition to just compensation for his prl-
vate property so taken for public use, al
though the present congress may not do US
Justice, yet it is safe to rely upon the jus.
tice of the American people, and an ap-
peal to them will not be UNDECIDED, and the
unity of our government preserved will
