Jacob, the Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, on taking his seat as presiding officer of the State Senate, tlms addresses his fellow-citi zens : No one with the first instincts of a states man would attempt to tear Kentucky from her safe moorings in the midst of a sisterhood of States, to place her as a frontier, subject, in all future times, ‘to the ravages and I horrors of desola ting wars. In the centre Of a glorious constella tion, all the combined forces of! the World would scatcely have touched or reached her. As a frag ment of a dissevered tuition, die, uatufally the dark and bloody land, the f/athway of contending armies, would be devastated arid ruined t so that this question of Union, however great and para mount toother Slates, is a question of life and death to her. The pretext for this war was danger to slave property, not that it tvas in immediate danger, but it might be so f giving a strange spectacle to the world of a mighty people attempt ing suicide. not for the present evils, hut for what might lie in tile womb of time. • Kentucky, governed by loyalty, pleaded in vain for peace, and counseliod resistance only when wrongs were attempted, andthen, infighting tor one to .give np the flag of Washington land the Union of our fathers, hut to fight for ail rights. Madmen would not lisfitn to her sage ad vice. They rushed to war wath the paracidal hands, attempting to tear down the work of our Ipthcrs. What has been the cSjinseqiiencc ? The institution they rushed to an unholy war to protect from future cfinsequencts is oiijlhe verge, of de struction. The only slave property that is at all safe is the property belonging no the loyal State rtf Kentucky. If sbe bad not hejen loval her slave property, with ail Other kind, wpnld be a tiling of tjie past. Now, because, by tiie mad attempt of the South, the institution! of shivery has lieeit placed in danger, and which we predicted would bp the consequence of the Ifisand attempts td break up our nationality, the partisans of the infamous j attempt to break up the Government of ottr fathers 1 roil up their eyes ih. holy rhorror, and ' ask us mi p)ace ourselves in exactly the same position. We i I‘livc been loyal and true, therefore our property is, | comparatively speaking, ’’safe. dThey have la-en disloyal, and their property Is oh the verge of ruin; ! therefore jwe must turn mad, be disloyal, and lose onrs. ‘ ■ | But it as said the President will conscript the nbgro slave, and thereby destroV the instiimion of slavery in Kentucky. -He lias tot done so vet, and sufficient unto the day is life 1 evil thereof.— Bnt, fqr argument's sake, suppose lie does—who .gave him the power but you zealots of the South, who, in your frenzy, attempted ,to destroy the temple of liberty and ail thedear rights of the past? If lie does, will disloyalty to the Union save the institution? Notaiall. "ll wojild hurl it to de struction with ail other interests ot the State. royalty to the Union, like!the past, is the only safety to ourselves, our property,;,and. all the dear ajld sacred rights that we posses*;. If we resist, it njiust be in the Union and hnder;'tbe flag of Wash ington, with the millions of strong hearts and strong arms that we possess in the loyal North.— Throw away these re&ontces as the South tnadlv d|d, we would be crushed as she will be, and which w|e wonld deserve to be for being recreant to the great rights bequeathed to ns by our fathers. No. up! Come wluit may ; come what will; let Ken tucky be true. It is hot only thp path of honor but the path of safety; any other is the path of dpstrnction. ■. i . • ■ Afkaihs is North Cakousa.—A dispatch fijom Ncwbern, North Carolina,: says: 'Die new oath of allegiance has been administered to a num ber of rebel officers and soldiers, Who have recently come into our lines to accept the pardon offered by the President.

The Mexican embroglio is becoming heavy in France on the public mind, and the present coinpliiatjon of 'European affairs may lift the pressure of foreign aHns and influence from Mexico.
