The name of the new boat belong

They have all gone off into splinters,

Puritan Yankees to these shores, A
boat by any other name would do as
well OF better. The name is not a
good one, and we suggest to the Com

Mayfower name is played out in the

We understand that the steamer
was named by Major Gus. Fowler,
formerly of the G. s. army. If the
name is acceptable to him, we can't
see why it should be so Objectionable

necessary for friend of the rebel

it is the duty of the President to see
that the law is executed.

President of the Convention, Judge
VIM. g. Goodloe, of Fayette County,
was greeted with loud applause, and
said:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION:

of your confidence to my fidelity to

rative bodies, throughout all the de-
alterations of this Convention / ask
your kind assistance | trust that
your proceedings will be harmonious.
that your platform will be clear, dis
tinct, and patriotic, and that you will
place men upon it who will be pre-
pared to carry out the principles

next election Applause.
Here, gentlemen, perhaps / ought
to stop; but indulge me in another
remark. Four days ago, on the birth
day of Washington, party assembled
in this Chamber which has for the
past six years been struggling to de
stroy the Union, and to overthrow the
Government of Washington; and it
was announced from this place that
Washington, was rebel, and that he
fought to establish the great principle
that there could be no taxation with
misrepresentation. Gentlemen, Wash
ington never rebelled against free con-
stitutional government. (Applause.)

ment of the people, nor did he fight

people of the United States, as am un-
mistakable, National loyal Union
Convention. From the fact that you
have assembled as Union Conven-
ton, anticipate the most patriotic
and harmonious proceedings and re-
suits. You are the advance column.
All those who have become de-
moralized and have fallen by the
way have got behind the regiment, are
no longer an incumbrance to this per-
fected body Of Union men.
You, in common with all men, have
to some extent been perfected by suf-

occupy, in my judgment, grander po-
sition than any set of men on this con-.

it costs to be a Union man in Ken
tucky. We all understand it, and the
man that could pioneer through this
part of the Commonwealth, under
such trials and difficulties as the
Union men have had to pass through,

physical courage will be called in
