THE lawIess attempi OF Mr.. Lincoln by
declaring martial law, 10 sspprsss the Con-
servaiive Union PARTY in Kentucky, is high
ly characteristic Of the man and his meth
ods. That party embraces, unQuestionably,
seysn-sighihs OF Ell lhe ciizens of the

loyal 10 the Consultation. From il has been
raised, almost to man, The entire iorce OF
over forty regiments sent by Kentucky 10
the support Of The national cause. In lis
racks are found TO day esery great leader,
military and civil, whose noble patriotism
has made Kentucky the first among the
border States for loyalty, the clesrest from
participation in rebellion, the most defiant

her integrity as member of the national
Union. Bramlelie, Jacob, Wolford, Prem

but representatives among those noble ci-
villains and soldiers who illustrate the devo-
ton and truth o. that State, the mosi severe
ly tried and the nobIest of all that rallied In
war began. Against her interests and her
sympathies, in spite Of wrong, actual and
threatened, in the face OF insults moro iry-
ing than all, Kentucky has renamed faith

frat. The State OF Henry Clay has never
disgraced the great leader of whom she
was so proud, and whose lessons she learn.
