Frankfort, March l6.-FalOW. Citizens: In
view Of the disturbance Of the popular mind
produced by the enrolment Of slaves for the

make the following suggestions for the benefit
aud guidance Of the loyal men Of Kentucky !:
Your indiguity should not allow you to commit
acts Of violence or unlawful resistance Stand
ing, as we have stood and ever will stand, for
the Constitution, Union, and the enforcement
Of the laws, We must meet and correct unjust
and unconstitutional legislation by legitimate
appeal to the Constitutional tribunal Of the
Government and through the ballot box. This
Is the only true mode Of maintaining the Con-
stitution. Union, and respect Of the laws
Merely enrVlling the names Of slaves does net
affect any right Of q citizen. We should abide
by and maintain the laws, and pursue the modes
provided by law and the remedy il affords.
IL any violence or wrong to persons or pro-
perty Of citizens be committed by any officers
or soldiers against the known laws Of the land,
make your accusation in the mode prescribed
by law, and il any commanding officer refuses
or negects to use his utmost enieavors to ar
rest an officer or soldier under his command,
aud hand him or them over to the civil mas.
tratcs Tor tIial when officially advised Of these
iacIs, the Executive Of this State will pref, r
change and demand a court martial, and undo r
I Id Cons tituton and in accordance with law,
assert and urge your rights. 1t is our duty to
obey law u I'll declared, by judicial d.cisior
to be unconstitutional. Citjzrns whose pro.
perty may be taken under law for public use,
will bo en'itel, under the imperative mandate
Of the Constitution, to just compensation for
property 20 taken for public Isr. Although
the present Congress NAV not do us justice,
yet It Is Safe to rely upon the justice Of G.
American p ople, and an appeal to them will
not be unhrrded or unanswered
