Let not thy sword in scabbard rust, Kentucky! O Kentucky! See Breckinridge's breach of trust; Remember Morehead's skulking thrust, And blow a wrathful thunder-gust, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Come I welcome Freedom's new-born day, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Come! fling thy manacles away, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Call Wickliffe home to fast and pray, Stop Powell's mouth while yet you may, Invoke the shade of Henry Clay, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Thy fame is bright, thy limbs are strong, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Come! for thy lagging does thee wrong, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Join heart and hand the martyr throng, Whom love of country bears along, And give new heroes to thy song, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Prepare to break the negro's chain, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Shall West-Virginia call in vain? Kentucky! O Kentucky! Her

I received your letter of June 25th, by Major Armistead who arrived here this morning. Our party is now as large as need be desired for safety or convenience in travelling. They are good men and well armed. Late of the army we have Major Armistead, Lieutenants Hardcastle, Brewer, Riley, Shaaf, Mallory, and Wickliffe. . . . . In a description of the journey Captain Gift, who was of the party, says: . . .We had now crossed one hundred miles of desert and near the Colorado and Fort Yuma. It Was necessary to approach the place with caution, as a trap might be set for us. A scout was sent forward, and at noon, it being July the 4th, we heard the national salute. The scout returned and reported all of the officers of the garrison sick, and that we could cross the river without fear. In the afterno

Johnston Richmond, March 12, 1862. my Dear General: The departure of Captain Wickliffe offers an opportunity, of which I avail myself, to write you an unofficial letter.

I anticipated all that you have told me as to the censure which the fall of Fort

tween the wheel A and apron g, and receives a final brushing at the point of delivery. Brooch. 1. An ornamental clasp with a pin for fastening the dress. The term corresponds to ouch (which see), under which name the ornamental clasp appears in the King James version of the Bible, Exodus XXVIII. 11, XXXIX. 18, and in other places. See Minshieu's Ductor in Linguas, 1617; Phillips's World of words, 1658. See also the same passages in the Bishop's and Coverdale's versions. In the Wickliffe version it is rendered hookes. The ouch or brooch was a clasp or button, and, in course of time, came to be fastened with a pin called a broach (Fr. broche), and hence the name brooch, of this form of ornamental clasp, has been attributed to the name of the pin (broach) by which it is fastened. This brooch or pin, probably as large as the corking-pin of Swift's time, of old formed a stiletto upon occasion, as among the Athenian dames, who made such pointed inquiries of the man who a

except by useless persuasion; on the contrary, he complied with their wishes in tearing down the anti-slavery sign. He was chairman, too, of the pro-slavery meeting in Faneuil Hall, at which Washington was cheered for being a slave-Holder! . . . The conduct of Mayor Lyman on this occasion has now been honestly set forth. It was promptly arraigned in the Liberator by the Rev. Henry C. Wright, Under the signature Hancock. Mr. Wright was not satisfied with one norm de guerre: Law, Wickliffe, Cato, Justice, are others which he employed at this time in the Liberator. He was a native of Sharon, Conn. (1797), who turned from hat-making to the ministry, studying at Andover from 1819 to 1823, and being licensed to preach in the latter year. He was settled till 1833 at West Newbury, Mass. He joined the New England A. S. Society in May, 1835, and first met Mr. Garrison on Nov. 6, 1835. See his Autobiography. and Lib. 5.182. defended by Samuel E. Sewall (An Abolitionist) and Lib.

n did? Ask Byron on his death-bed in the marshes of Missolonghi. Ask the Hudson as its waters kiss your shore, what answer they bring from the grave of Kosciusko. I hide the Connecticut Puritan behind Lafayette, bleeding at Brandywine, in behalf of a nation his rightful king forbade him to visit. But John Brown violated the law. Yes. On yonder desk lie the inspired words of men who died violent deaths for breaking the laws of Rome. Why do you listen to them so reverently? Huss and Wickliffe violated laws; why honor them? George Washington, had he been caught before 1783, would have died on the gibbet, for breaking the laws of his sovereign. Yet I have heard that man praised within six months. Yes, you say, but these men broke bad laws. Just so. It is honorable, then, to break bad laws, and such law-breaking history loves and God blesses! Who says, then, that slave laws are not ten thousand times worse than any those men resisted? Whatever argument excuses them, makes Jo

thern conservatism he keeps him at the head of the army, which loses two thousand men by disease every week, and spends from sixty to seventy thousand dollars a day; and if, twenty years hence, he renders up an account of his stewardship to his country, you that live, mark me I will see him confess that this whole winter he never believed in McClellan's ability. That is the sore spot in the character of an otherwise honest officer, and that is where this fear of conservatism sends him. Mr. Wickliffe of Kentucky and Mr. Davis of Kentucky put their feet down and say, Do this, and the Border States leave you. There is not a Republican at the North who will be allowed to say it. Governor Andrew lisped it once, in his letter to Secretary Stanton, and how few, except the Abolitionists, dared to stand by him, even in Massachusetts! There is no public opinion that would support Mr. Sumner, with a loyal Commonwealth behind him, in making such a speech, once in the winter, as Garrett Davis
