calling upon Kentucky to resist the draft OF her slaves
induces to return 10 the topic and TO state positively
and more at large that among the evidences of trea
sonable purpose csnspired between the Governor of

tratorous speech Of Woofold in which he enlogized
"tho Buckuers the Morgans the Stephenses OF Ken

their names, ages &c second that II means we're re-
sorted TO 10 compel them to furnish the negroes Names
&C. they could appeal to the courts and 10 him as Gov

IN sia all tie po~sr ofe STATE o. That II attacked
the law Of Congress as "unqueStionsbly unconstitu

~. The fact that at meeting OF i've gentlemen IN
Frankfort AZ O'Clock at night, Governor Bramlette
read that proclamation aloud hom proof freshly
brought In from the printing office.
V. That the loyal, s,out-hearied DR.. Brecknridge

We here leave this presentation o, the case against
Gov Branette and the Pro-SL'ery Unioa traitors Of
Kentucky, with the jury OF the public.
The Governors demands upon Mr.. Lincoln toned
down here TO request that the negroes when drened
should not De kept ia Kentucky but should be removed
from the State forthwith. Ex-senator Dixon his CON.
rade begged that the draft might be suspended until
after the tobaeoo crop madethst is not to let OF

months
