Until within a brief period the people of Kentucky were quiet and tranquil, free from domestic sthe presence of military force, the people of Kentucky have sincerely striven to preserve in their Sr. Now, therefore, as Governor of the State of Kentucky and in the name of the people, I have ththat there is a military force in camp within Kentucky, acting by authority of the United States, wh a majority of all the Union-loving people of Kentucky. While I have conversed on this subject with many eminent men of Kentucky, including a large majority of her members of Congress, I do not remt, I do not believe it is the popular wish of Kentucky that this force shall be removed beyond her lrespected most scrupulously the neutrality of Kentucky, but has continued to maintain the friendly res will continue to respect the neutrality of Kentucky so long as her people will maintain it themse[28 more...]

Doc. 14. attack on secessionists, at Wayne Court House, Va., August, 1861. Perhaps nowhere in Western Virginia has there been a viler nest of secessionists than at Wayne Court House, the county town of the county, lying on the Kentucky line. Their leader, Ferguson, was some six weeks ago taken by Colonel Zeigler, of Camp Pierpont, and sent to Columbus, Ohio. This, however, did not abate in the least their acts of tyranny and oppression. We are glad now to report that the gang has been broken up and their leaders taken prisoners. On Saturday last, 24th of August, Captain Smith was detailed with fifty-three men from Camp Pierpont, which is at Ceredo, in Wayne County, now under command of Colonel Zeigler. Captain Smith and his men reached the Court House, a distance of twenty miles, about daylight on Sunday morning, and took possession of the place. Some of the troops went to the Court House and rang the bell, which appeared to be the signal for the rebels to rally. Eight of t

ipated the wants of that Government, and have promptly responded to whatever demands it made upon you, as liberally in the expenditure of treasure as in furnishing soldiers. The public service has not languished for one day when your resources were competent to meet its requirements. Without a regiment of troops at the opening of hostilities, you have sent upward of thirty thousand men into the field, armed and equipped. By the magnitude of your force you have assisted the loyal men of Kentucky in protecting that State from the domination of the rebels. The presence of our troops and the victories in which they shared in Western Virginia, have preserved it for the Union, and secured it as a barricade against the threatened invasion of your soil, thus maintaining unbroken the peace of a border nearly five hundred miles in extent, and protecting the heart of the Republic from the immediate havoc of war. The Federal Government again calls upon you for soldiers. The late disast

ell received. After which the recruiting officers received the names of those who desired to volunteer in defence of the Stars and Stripes. The meeting was then organized by choosing Joseph Malin, one of the veterans of the war of 1812, President, and Frederick J. Waldo, Secretary. The committee on resolutions presented the following: Resolved, That this meeting fully endorse and sustain the sentiments of the resolutions recently offered in Congress by the Hon. John J. Crittenden of Kentucky, and adopted by that body with but two dissenting votes, which resolutions read as follows, in substance: That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the Southern States, now in revolt against the Constitutional Government, and in and around the Capital. That in this national emergency, it is the duty of every citizen — banishing all feeling of mere passion or resentment — to recollect only his duty to the whole country. That this war

crews are alive with enthusiasm, and determined to give the rebels the best shot in their lockers.

Doc. 41 Boston resolutions, adopted at a meeting held in Faneuil Hall, September 9, 1861. The resolutions were presented by Wm. C. Williamson, Esq. Resolved, That, in the noble words of Joseph Holt of Kentucky, What we now need is a patriotism, which, obliterating all party lines and entombing all party issues, says to the President of the United States: Here are our lives and our estates, use them freely, use them boldly, but use them successfully; for looking upon the graves of our fathers, and upon the cradles of our children, we have sworn that though all things else should perish, this country and this Union shall stand. Resolved, That in the language of our own General Butler, in this crisis, there must be no compromise, no yielding; nothing but the strong arm, until the glorious flag of the Union floats over every inch of territory that ever belonged to the United States of America. We must have the whole of this country under one government, and we have but one du

The act of Congress alluded to was a necessity under the circumstances, and was fully justified by the usages of civurprise here where the unscrupulous character and ultimate aims of the rebel chieftains are well understood. So long as Kentucky maintained that most illusory of all attitudes — neutrality — and carefully guarded an extended and exposed position of nd families of all. You may, therefore, well judge of the alarm and condemnation with which the Union-loving citizens of Kentucky--the State with whose popular sentiment I am best acquainted — have read this proclamation.
