DEMOCRACY OF KENTUCKY.

The Louisville Times of the ed in calling the demo-
cratic State conventions states the following the princ
pies which the democracy of Kentucky will most likely
adopt
ri. Unresrained religious liberty.
az faithful enforcement Of the naturalization laws but
change in them.
49, The principles Of the Nebraska Kansas bill
~. Incorporating hostility to all secret political
cieties"
The tone of healthy conservatism and nationality which
they breathe will commend them TO the national OF
all parties In defence of such principles the democracy Of
Kentucky incur disgrace in being defeated but with
such principles second defeat is next to impossible.
