the proclamation which was issued on
the 18th day Of April, 1861, the Presi-
dent of the United States announced
and declared that the laws of the Unit
ed States had been for some time past,
and then were opposed, and the e&ecu-
ton thereof INSTRUCTED in certain States
therein mentioned, by combinations too
powerful to be suppressed by the ordina-
ry course of judicial proceeding, or by
the power vested in the Marshals by
law; and
Whereas, Immediately after the issu-
ing of the said proclamation the land
and naval forces of the United States
were put into activity to suppress the
said insurrection and rebellion and
Whereas, The Congress of the United
States, byan act approved on the Sd of
March, 1868, did enact that during the
said rebellion of the United States,
whenever in his judgment the public
safety may require it, is authorized to
suppress the privilege of the writ of ha-
6eds corpus in any case throughout the
United States, or any part thereof: and
Whereas, The said instruction and
rebellion still continues, endangering
the existence of the Constitution and
government of the United States and
Whereas, The military forces of the
United States are now actively engaged
in sfppressing the said insurrection and
rebellion in various parts of the States
where the said rebellion has been sue
cessful in obstructing the laws and pub
lie authority, especially in the States of
Virginia and Georgia; and
Whereas, On the 18th day of Septem-
L
States duly issued his proclamation,
wherein he declared that the privileges
of the writ of hubeds corpus should be
suspended throughout the United States,
in cases whereby the authority of the
President of the United States, the mill
itary, naval and civil officers of the

sons under their command or in their
custody. either as prisoners of war, spies,
or aiders and abetters of the enemy; or

or the rules and regulations prescribed
for the military and naval service by
authority of the President of the Uni
ted States; or for resisting adraft, or for
any other o1ense against the military or

Whereas, Many citizens of the State
of Kentucky have joined the forces of
the insurgents, and have on several oc-
casions entered the said State of Ken
lucky, in large force and not without
aid and comfort furnished by disatfect-
ed and disloyal citizens of the United
States residing therein, and have not
only greatly disturbed the public peace,
but have overborne the civil authorities
and made fragrant civil war, destroying
property and life in various parts of the
State; and
Whereas, It has been made known to
the President OF the United States, by
the officers commanding the national
armies, that combinations have been
found in the said State of Kentucky,
with purpose of melting the rebel for
ces to renew their said operations of
civil war within the said State and
thereby to embarrass the United States
armies now operating in the said States
of Virginia and Georgia, and even to
endanger their safety

President of the United States, by vir-
tue of the authority vested in me by the
constitution and laws, do hereby declare

fore, hereby require of the military Of
ficers in the said State, that the privil-
eyes Of the writ of habeas corpus be eff

State according to the aforesaid procla-
nation, and that martial law be estab-
lished therein, to take effect from the
date of this prOclamation-the said sus-
pension and establishment of martial
law to continue until this proclamation
shall be revoked or modified but not be-
yond the period when the said rebellion
G n

the military operations or the constitut-
ed authorities of the Government of the
United States.
