the record. Cincinnati Enquirer.
And that record is that Brown,
in 1861, declared, in public meet
ing, that not one man, nor one
dollar would Kentucky furnish to
Lincoln, to aid him in his unholy
war against the South; and that if
the Northern army should attempt
TO cross the borders of Kentucky.
it would be resisted to the death,
and that if one man were found in
Kentucky to volunteer to join it,
he ought to be, and would be, shot
down before leaving the State. -

Well, the Enquirer does not OBJ
ject to little record like that,
does it, If the Nation is to be
put under the guardianship of the
Southern Confedracy, the John
Young Brown doctrine will not be
disclaimed as much as it was
