Conservative Measures Indispensable to
the Preservation of the Union.
’ From the Louisville Journal of Jan.27th .
We invite attention to the wise and im
pressive letter we publish to-day over the
signatureof ** W. F. B.” Our howe readers
will at once recognise in this signature the
initials of a gentleman who is ndt merely a
citizen of the noblest repute, but ore of the
clearest patriots and one of the soundest
statesmen in the Commonwealth. The let-
ter is judicious, pertinent, loyal, hizh-toned
and able. It is such a letter as benefits an
American patriot and statesman in this sol-
emn crisis of the nation. We trust nobody
will omit to read it. »
To the Editors of the Louisville Journal :
‘GENTLEMEN :—At no time since the com~
mencement of our present difficulties has
the necessity of wise conservative measures
on the part of the Federal Government been
80 imperative as the present. In my humble
judgement all depends upon it, and without it
the restoration of the Union is an utter 1m
possibility. We have now reached a crisis
when the policy and purposes of the war
ghould be distinctly avowed, and every dis-
turbing influence completely removed. The
ire establishment of the Union as it was nun.
der the Constitution is the only erd worthy
of the great struggle in which we are enga-
A y
At an early period in the history of the re-
bellion, 1t was unanimously resolved : That
neither the Congress of the United States,
nor the people or government of the non-
slave-holding States have the constitutional
right to legislate upon, or intertere with
slavery in any of the slave-holding States in
he Union,”
At a subsequent time it was again dis-
tinctly avowed by Congress: ‘‘ That this
war is not waged on their part, in any spir-
it of oppression, nor for any purpose of con-
quest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with the rights
or established institutions of the States, but
to defend and maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution, and to preserve the Union
with all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States unimpaired, and that as
soon as these objects are accomplished (he
war ought to cease.” These clear and dis
tinct avowals were unheeded by the people
.of the loyal States and at once aroused the
«energies of the nation. All party distinctions
seewed to be sunk in the single desire to re-
store the government. It cannot be denied
that every measure opposed 1n spirit to these
just and manly resolves has served to
strengthen the arm of rebellion and to weak
en the cause of the Union In my opinion,
‘it is pet now, nor has it ever been necessary
ito the effective prosecution of this war, to
violate a single principle of the Constitution
.or even resort to the exercise of a doubtful
power.—The Constitution contains within
itself all that is necessary to enable a pru-
dent and wise Administration to suppress
this wicked rebellion.
A resort to extra dinary measures under
the plea of paramount military necessity is
a sad mistake The great necessity in this
war for the preservation of the government
is the distinct, unqualified, and practical re
cognition of the fact that the Constitution is
the supreme law of the land.
The fault is not in the Constitution. That
venerable instrument was intended to con-
trol the policy of the Government in any and
all emergencies. And in view of the only
legitimate purpose of the war in which we
are now engaged, it is the solemn duty of
those in power to preserve it inviolate mn Jet
ter and in spirit. The slightest infraction
of 1t under any pretext is thc evidence of
weakness and of cowardice. 1t isthe deep
and unalterable attachment of the people to
the Constitution, and to the precious and in-
estimable rights secured by it, that alone
gives vigor and imparts dignity and value to
the present struggle.
You are right, therefore, in holding the
Administration to the wise and just policy
as declared by the resolutions in Congress,
to which I have referred. To abandon that
policy now, or even to awaken a doubt upon
the subject, is cruel injustice to the Ameri
can people, It weakens the faith and un-
nerves the arm of the loyal citizen. It gives
color to the vile pretexts resorted to by
wicked traitors ¢ to fire the Southern
heart.” J doubt not that the radical meas
ures now pending in Congress, go the |
sla
confiscation and emancipation of the slaves
of the South, with the pation, of and fear-
ful consequences likely to result from their
adoption, constitute the principle and the
only formidable barriers to a returning
sense of loyalt:
constitutional.
other effect than to alieniate the two sections
and to render a restoration of the Union
forever impossible. Our public men must
learn that there is another and higher object
to sttaip that the mere punishment of trai-
tors. Buch a course may serve to gratify
the spirit of vengeance, but it is unworthy of
that cause which cen only be subserv
od by the exercise of justies sand megnanim-
ity.
It ie a grea! mistake to suppose that noth-
ing more is needed to bring this war to a
successful and happy 13sue than the raising
of armies and the winning of battles. All
this may be accomplished and yet the end
not be attained. hilst 1t is true the act-
ive hostility of the rebels must be suppress-
ed by military force, it iy not the less true
that's complete and final restoration of the
Government can be effected, oly by the ex-
ercise of patience and forbearance.
1 would have the Administration, aided by
the enlightened action of Congress, to give
the utmost efficiency to the operation of the
army, 1 would uphold the Constitution and
assert the supremacy of the Government in
all the seceding States. Iam now as ever
have been. the strenuous advocate of this
policy, forced upon the Government by a
terrible necessity. But I earnestly depre-
cate the resort to any measures, which have
for their object, or which necessarily tend to
the destruction of the constitutional rights
of any of the States. Besides, I have an
ahiding confidence in the power of the Gov
ernment to maintain itself in the present
struggle for the life of the nation. The
army already raised conducted by wise and
able leaders, is fully equal to the emergen
cy. And in the present posture of affairs
the complete aud trinmphant success of our
army is indispensably necessary to put down
the rebellion and restore the integrity of the
Government. But itis not true that this
glorious work is to be accomplished alone by
military success. The work of pacification
is not less necessary and imporiant, and this
is the work of Statesmen, “sustained by a
just and enlightened public sentiment,
If any truth has been clearly established
in the progress of this war, it is this: By
the proclamation of Gen. Butler, tendering
the services of his armv to suppress the ap.
prehended insurrection at Annapolis, and his
just, manly, and national views expressed
in his subsequent correspondence with Gov,
Andrews, of Massachusetts. the political
status of Maryland was established. The
purposes distinctly avowed by General Mc-
Clellan on entering Western Virginia, and
the confidence thus inspired in the bosoms
of the people, have been followed by the
complete success of the Federal army, and
that entire section of the country redeemed
from the domination of traitors. We all
know and fully realize the effect produced
upon the popular mind of Kentucky by the
suppression of the atrocious proclamation of
Fremont. The confidence inspired and the
loyalty developed by the prompt and dezi.
sive action of the President are fully attest-
ed by onr gallant army now in the field —
The late proclamation of General Dix on the
Eastern shore of Virginia has accomplished
more than could have been achieved by a
series of battles. Eighteen hundred rebels
have laid down their arms and voluntarily
returned to their allegiance to the Govern-
ment. In Missour, asin Kentucky the most
salutary results have been felt by the re
moval of Fremont and the repudiation of his
infamous policy. If the government has
guined anything important or decisive since
the commencement of this unhappy war, it
has heen under the influence of this wise and
b:nefieent policy.
Is it not strange that any man, or set of
men should be so blinded by prejudice or
passion as to think for a moment of aban-
doning this wise and conservative course 7—
If it has thus operated in the Border Slave
States, will it not be still more potential for |
good as the army penetrates the South 2 —
The policy which has thus controlled the ac- |
tion of the slaveholders in Maryland, Virgin- |
ia, Kentucky and Missour:, will operate |
with still increased power and cffect on the |
planters of the South. And now when the
invasion is about to be made, and our 1m- |
mense army 18 to be precipitated on the]
Southern States the policy should he dis-|
tinetly avowed. It should be made so man~ |
ifest as to leave no room for doubt as to the |
purposes of the invasion. All extreme and!
radical measures should be studiously and!
persistently avoided A locus pemitentie
should be left open for our deluded brethren |
of the South. The Government should dem- |
onstrate its power and supremacy, but in
such a manner as to conquer the prejudices,
and re establish the se of the South
ern people in the intesrity of our institn-
tions. This attempted revolution is the
work of ambitious, designing, and wicked
demagogues. Southern public sentiment
must be changed. The people must be
made to feel they are safe under the protect-
ing @gis of the Constitution. Their selfish |
and wicked leaders must be stripped of the |
disguise by which they have been enabled to
deceive and betray them. After all, the |
real difficulty in restoring the government
and the Union is not the want of mere phys-
ical power ; itis the want of enlightened
and conservative statesmanship. [I hesitate
not to say that the radical measures now
pending in Congress, and advocated with
such fierce and fanatical zeal. constitute the
main impediment to the ultimate and tri-
umphant success of the Government.
No real statesman can suppose for a mo-
ment that the reunion of the States can be
effected and the Constitution maintained
without the ultimate consent ot the people.
We in Kentucky have already said that a
«Union maintained at the point of the sword
is not worth preserving.” In my judgment
the fate of the Union depends upon the ac-
tion of the present Congress. If co :serva-
tive counsels prevail, if all extreme aud rad-
ical measures are avoided, if the vile spirit
of sectionalism is laid aside, w= may indulge
the hope of a permanent restoration of the
Union. God grant it.

Opposition is ended, resistance is past,
My heart to rare beauty has yielded at last;
I thought that to woman it never could bow,
But I own it, confess it, acknowledge it now.
7 hy beauty dear girl, has called forth a love,
As pure and ag lasting as that from above ;
Butalag ! you're another’s—how deep the regret,
Notwithstanding, I'll love thee—I cannot forget.
Thy smiles dearest one, I once hoped would be
mine,
But thou hast offered t hem up at a worthler shrine;
I will not upbraid thee—emile on if you will,
1 will love thee. adore thee, think of thee still.
Thy form and thy face, thou hast bid me resign,
I cannot reproach thee, the power is thine,
Though thou art all beuty, it blooms not for me,
Yet I'll love thee adore thee, though another’s you
be.
Then farewell dearly loved one—a fond last
adieu;
You have taught me to love, teach forgetfulness
too ;
But why ask such a lesson ? I’ll think of thee yet,
I would, but I cannot, 1 cannot forget.

Elizabeth Reese of Centre County, aged 2¢
years, 3 months, and 10 days.
Henry was always lively, pleasant and
agreeable, never spoke evil of any one, all
who knew him, loved hima ; 1n his own fam-
ily he was almost idolized. Tn his death his
parents, brothers and sisters have realized a
hard. hard stroke from affliction’s rod.—

When his physicians (three in number) stood
by his bed side, and told him all they could
do was already done, he was not alarmed,
his pulse never changed, and when asked by
a dear friend, if he was willing to die if it
was the Lords will, replied, « if itis his will
Iam.” ,So passed an affectionate son—a
dear brother—an agreeable associate- a
noble youth into the havenof rest.
