"A correspondent of the New York Day Book, writing from Louisville, Kentucky, the State which Mr. Clay pledged to send a regiment of horse dragoons into South Carolina to subjugate her people, discourseth thus:
"They (the Kentuckians) are willing to talk Union! every thing for Union!' and this in good faith ; but if fate should will their hopes to blast, they will stand as a pillar of the South. They seriously believe that South Carolina is about to withdraw from the Union, and should the North still cling to her Sewards and Sumners in this crisis, and the President call out the United States Army to subdue the Palmetto, fifty thousand Kentucky bayonets will face the music of Uncle Sam, and make Carolina's cause her own. Mark this prophecy."
