DEsPor1sx IN KENTUCKY Yankee nation is
fast Gliding into the most oppressive despotism eah
and if Lincoln shall be elected to the Presidency, we
predict that he will be procaimed absolute Dictator in
less than another year. The most striking example of
tie CALLING despotism of which speak, is presented
in the news from Kentucky, wherein are told that
Gen. Ewing has issued order, dated at Louisville,
requesting the justices of each county of the State to
ass mbe in ten days. and levy tax sufficient to ARM
mount and maintain fifty until further orders"
The purpose OF this armed force is evidently to keep
the people in subecton and prevent them from resist
ing Lincolns abolition procamations, which are in
manifest violation OF both the State and Federal
situations, and destructive OF all private rights And,
not coDent with the Insult aud outrag to sovereign
State, of placing armed guard over them in each
county, Lincoln goes still further and orders them,
without even the form pretext of law to be taxed to
support the hand which thus cruelty smites them IF
this is not the climax of humiliation we cannot imag
inc what would be-. Poor Kentucky
Gov. Brambiette has ordered the courts to disregard
this military decree OF Ewing but whether he has the
back bone to stand up to his proclamation remains to
be seen. We believe he has not, and that be will
covardy submit, as be has heretofore submitted, to
anything Lincoln does.
We hope the people of the Confederacy will read in
the melancholy fate of Kentucky the dreadful despoism
which awaits them in the event of foa suhugation.
