MB. HOLT'S SPEECH. CONCLUSION. .
I will upend neither blood nor treasure, but
1 will shrink away while the battle rages, and
after it has been fought and won, I will return
to the camp, well assured that if I cannot
claim the laurels, I will at least enjoy the
blessings of the victory V . Is this all that re
mains oi her chivalry 1 of the chivalry of the
land of the Shelbys, the Johnsons, the Aliens,
the Clays, the Adairs, and the Davises 1 Is
there a Kentuckian within the sound of my
voice to-night, who can hear the anguished
cry of bis country, as she wrestles and writhes
in the folds of this gigantic treason, and then
lay himself down upon his pillow with this
thought of neutrality, without feeling that be
has something in his bosom that stings him
worse than would an adder? Have we, with
in the brief period of eighty years, descended
o far from the mountain bights on which onr
lathers stood, that already, in our degeneracy,
we proclaim our blood too precious, our treas
ure too valuable, to be devoted to the preser
vation of such a Government as this ? They
fought through a seven years' war with the
greatest power on earth for the hope, the bare
hope, of being able to found this Republic,
and now that it is no longer a hope nor an ex
periment, but a glorious reality which has ex
cited the admiration and the homage of the
nations, and has covered us with blessings, as
'the waters cover the channels of the sea,"
have we, their children, no years of toil, of
sacrifice, and of battle even, if need be, to
give to save it from absolute destruction at
the hands of men who, steeped in guilt, are
perpetrating against us and humanity a crime
for which I verily believe the blackest page
of the history of the woild's darkest period
furnishes no parallel? Can it be possible that
in the history or the American people we have
already reached a point of degeneracy bo low
that the work of Washington and Franklin, of
Adams and Jefferson, of Hancock and Henry,
is to be overthrown by the morally begrimed
and pigmied conspirators who are now tug
ging at its foundations 1 It would be the over
turning of the Andes by the miserable reptiles
that are crawling in the- sands at their base.
Bat our neutral fellow-citizens in the ten
derness of their hearts say : "This effusion of
blood sickens us." Then do all in your pow
er to bring it to an end. Let the whole
strength of this Commonwealth be put forth
tn behalf of the government, in order that
the war may bo terminated by a prompt sup
pression of the rebellion. The longer the
struggle continues, the fiercer will be Us spir
it, and the more tearful the waste of life at
tending it. You, tberefoxe, only aggravate
the calamity you deplore, by standing aloof
from the combat. But again they say, "we
cannot fight our brethren." Indeed ! But
your brethren can fight you and with a good
will too. Wickedly and wantonly have they
commenced this war against you and your In
stitutions, and ferociously are they prosecu
ting it. They take no account of the fact that
the massacre with which they hope their
swords will ere long be clogged, must be the
massacre of their brethren. However mncii
we may bow our heads at the confession, it is
nevertheless true that every free people that
have existed have been obliged at one period
or other of their history to fight for their lib
erties against traitors within their own bo
soms, and that people who have not the great
ness of soul thns to fight cannot long continue
to be free, nor do they deserve to be so.
There is not and there cannot be any neu
tral ground for a loyal people between their
own Government and those who at the head
of armies are menacing its destruction. Your
inaction is not neutrality, thongh you may
delnde yourselves with the belief that it is so.
With this rebellion confronting you, when
you refuse to cooperate actively with your
uovernmont in subduing it, you thereby con
demn the Government, and assume toward it
an attitude of antagonism. Your inactivity
is a virtual indorsement of the rebellion, and
if yon do not thereby give to the Rebels pre
cisely that "aid and comfort" spoken of in the
Constitution, you certainly afford them a most
powerful encouragement and support. That
they regard your present position as friendly
to them, is proved by the fact that, in a recent
enactment of the Confederate Congress con
flicating the debts dne from their own citi
zens to those of loyal States, the debts due to
the people of Kentucky are expressly except
ed. Is not this significant 1 Does it leave
any room for doubt that the Confederate Con
gross suppose they have found under the
guise of your neutrality a lurking sympathy
tor their cause, which entitles you to be trea
tod as friends if not as active allies? Patri
otic as was the purpose of her apprehensive
statesmen in placing bcr in the anomalous po
sition she now occupies it canuot be denied
that Kentucky, by her present attitude, is ex
erting a potent influence in strengthening the
Rebellion,-and is, therefore, false alike to ber
loyalty and to ber fame. 1 ou may rest well
assured that this estimate of your neutrality
is entertained by the true men of the country
in all the States which are now sustaining the
Government. Within the last few weeks, how
many of those gallant volunteers, who have
left home and kindred, and all that is dear to
them, and are now under a southern sun, ex
posing themselves to death from disease, and
to death from battle, and are accounting their
lives as nothing in the effort they are making
for the deliveranco of your Government and
theirs: how many of them have said to me in
sadness and in longing, "Will not Kentucky
help me 1" IIow my soul would have leaped
could 1 have answered promptly, confidently,
exultingly, "Yes, she will." But when
thought of this neutrality, uiy heart sank with
in me, and 1 did not, andconld not, look those
brave men in the face. And yet I could not
answer "No." I could not crush myself to
tho earth under the sell-abasement of such
reply, l tnereiore saia ana may mv coun
try sustain me "I hope, I trust, I pray, nay
I believe, Kentucky will yet do her duty.""
If this Government is to be destroyed, ask
yourselves, are you willing, it shall be record
ed in history that Kentucky stood by in the
greatness of ber strength and lifted not a band
to stay the catastrophe ? If it is to be saved
as I verily believe it i$ are you willing it
shall be written that, in the immeasurable
glory which must attend the. achievement,
Kentucky bad no part ?
I will only add, if Kentucky wishes the
waters of ber beautiful Ohio to be dyed in
blood, if she wishes her harvest fields, now
waving in their abundance, to bo trampled un
der the feet of hostile soldiery as a flower
garden is trampled beneath the threshings of
the tempest ; if she wishes the homes where
ber loved ones are now gathered in peace In
vaded by the prescriptive fury of a military
despotism, sparing neither life nor property ;
if she wishes the streets of her towns and cit
ies grown with grass, and the steamboats of
her rivers to He rotting at her wharves, then
let ber join the Southern Confederacy. But
if she would have the bright wafers of that
river flow on in their gladness ; if, she would
have her harvests pheacefnlly gathered to ber
garners ; if she would have the lullabies of her
cradles and the songs of her homes uninvaded
by the cries and terrors of the battle ; if she
would have the streets of ber towns and cities
again filled with the hum and throngs of busy
trade, and ber rivers and their shores, once
more vocal with the steamer's whistle that
anthein of a free and prosperous commerce
then let her stand fast by the Stars and Stipes,
and do ber dnty as a member of this -Union.
Let her brave people say Jo the President ol
the United States, "You are our Chief Mag
istrate ; the Government you bave in charge
and are striving to save from dishonor and
dismemberment is our Government;- your
cause is indeed our cause ; your battles are
our battles; make room for us therefore in
the ranks of your armies, that your triumph
may be our triumph also."
Even as with the Father of us all I would
plead for salvation, so my countrymen, as up
on my very knees, would I plead with you
for the life, aye, for the life, of our great and
beneficent institutions. But if the traitors
knife now at the throat of the republic is to do
its work, and this government is fated to add
yet another to that long line of sepulchers
which whiten the highway of the past, then
w hoarriit nraver to God is that it may be

The time has come that all who will can escape
the iron grasp of Mercury, by calling, without de
lay, to see the well known and justly celebrated
Eclectic European Physician, DR. BORT, who
will administer those only true and safe medi
cines, extracted from the most choice Roots and
Herbs, which are prepared under his own super
vision, and therefore avoiding the use of all Min
eral Poisons, which were never designed for the
system, to take which many thousand have fallen
victims and gone to early graves.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
Remember that Dr. Bort wants no patients but
thoco fully capable of appreciating and distin
guishing the services of a regular thorough bred
physician, from a paltry, unlearned and trifling
quack.
Remember, Dr. Bort's remedies and treatment
are entirely unknown to all others in this coun
try; prepared from a life spent in the groat hos
pitals of Europe and the first in the country.
Remember, that Dr. Bort has a more extended
practice than any other physician in Western
Pennsylvania,
Remember, that citizens of education and our
popular men are all well acquainted with, and
take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Bort to
the afflicted.
- Remember, that Dr. Bort makes no false repre
sentations to gull the unfortunate, but all he says
will be faithfully carried out.
Remember, that Dr. Bort pays every attention
to diseases ot a chronio nature.
Certificates of Cures may be seen at his respec
tive rooms.
Dr. B. is furnished with over six thousand let
tors of recommendations from some of the most
distinguished men living. Also has awarded to
him diplomas from some of the most celebrated
Hospitals and Infirmaties in Europe, for his un
parallelled observations in Diagnosis, and obser
vations in discovering remedies for the cure of
diseases that have heretofore befallen the skill of
many of the medical profession.'
An early call from those wishing to consult the
Doctor, is earnestly requested, so as to receive full
benefit of treatment, and thus do justice to him
solf. 1 Time limited.
Please bear in mind when Dr. B. will be in your
place. Persons desirous of consulting him will
confer a great favor by calling on the first day of
his arrival, as his Rooms are so often crowded, it
is utterly impossible to attend to tho anxious so
licitations of all. Dr Bort will arrive at each of
the above places on the first train or stage on the
day appointed. '
Please extend the invitation to all invalid ac
quaintances, and oblige yours, Ac.
All letters addressed to Box 1117, rittsburg.will

the great excitement about the removal of the

HOSTETTEK'S STOMACH
BITTER S. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the L nited States,
because the article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of
Uostetter's Stomach Bitters for the last year a
mounted to over a half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is ev
ident that during the coming year the consump
tion will reach near one million bottles. This im
mense amount could never bave been sold but f jr
the rare medicinal properties contained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where
the article is best known, who not only recommend
the Bitters to their patients, but Are ready at all
times to give testimonials to it3 efficacy iu all ea
ses of stomach ic derangements and the diseases re
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
Uostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and ague and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To be able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters' are a certain cure for the Dys
pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per
directions on the bottle, and they will find it a
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating
to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidenoe of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physicians,
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. There are certain pe
riods when their cares are so harrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get her own health in the extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the en
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the taste as well as certain to give a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
- All those persons, to whom we have particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical welfare
by giving to Uostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
Caution.. We caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for llosteiter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hoatetter's
Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe thatour autograph signature is on the
label. . B?"Prepared and sola hyliostetterfy Smith,
