address of Cor. Bran,tefte to the People of
kentucky.
LOUISVILLE. March 16.
Gov. Bramlette has just issued the follow
ing address to the people Of Kentucky:
Fellop Citizens: In view of the disturb
ances of the popular mind, produced by the
enrolment of slaves for the army, In Ken
lucky, it is deemed prudent to make the fol-
lowing suggestions Tor the benefit and guild
ance of the loyal people of Kentucky:
Your indignation should not drive you to
commit acts of violence, nor to unlawful re-
sistence, standing as we have stood and will
ever stand, for the constitution aud the union
and enforcement of the laws. We must repel
the efforts of the rebellion to overthrow our
government, by gallant soldiers in the field,
and meet and correct unjust constitutional
legislation by legal appeals to the constituted
tribunals of the government and through the
balot-box In the constituted modes.
This is the only true mode of maintaining
the Constitution, the Union, and the Laws.
The mere act of enrolling the names OF slaves,
does not effect the right of the citizen. No
draft has been ordered, nor do we know that
draft will be ordered. 1t may or it may not
be. We should abide by and maintain the law
and pursue the mode provided for the rene.
dy 1t affords. Ii any violence or wrong to the
person or property Of the citizen be commit
ted by any officer or soldier against the known
laws OF the land, make your accusation in the
mode presented by law, and if the command
ing officer refuses or neglects to use the ut
most endeavors to arrest the officers or SOL
diers under his command, SO accused, and
hand him or them over to the civil authori-
ties for trial when officially advised of the
facts, the executive of the State will prefer
charges and demand court marital for the
trial Of the offenders. In the Union under
the Constitution and in accordance with the
laws, assert and urge your rights. 1t is our
duty to obey the laws until they are declared
unconstitutional. The citizen whose proper
ty may be taken under it for public use will
be entitled under the imperative mandate of
the Constitution, just compensation for his
private property taken for pnblc use. Al
though the present Congress may not do us
justice, yet it is safe to rely upon the Justice
of the American people, and an appeal TO
them will not be UNDECIDED or unanswered
Peace restored and the unity of our govern
ment preserved, the people will drive to an
ignomenous distance those who, in the agony
OF our conflict, perverted their sacred trusts
to the base uses Of partizan ends and fanatical
purposes. Uphold and maintain your gov
eminent as the one constituted, and obey and
enforce its just demands as the only hope of
preserving free institutions.
