which exhibits the admirable perfection o.
the Opposition organization in the State,

dress, which concludes as follows:-
The defeat of the Democracy is a great
national necessity, the Indispensable pre-
requisite TO any reform. That is the only
mode by which power can be placed In the
hands al honest men, who will
l. Prevent disunion and check disunion
tendencies.

ry question.
8 Give an honest, economical admins
tra,icn Of the Government and stop spolla-
ton Of the treasury and national domain.

eral Government over State banks and

recommended ty our Democratic President

In conclusion, deeming as we do, the de-
feat Of the Democratic party great public
necessity, Tor the reasons already stated,
and many more, we would rejoice 10 see
patriotic citizens throughout the Union
abandoning those Improbable disputes
which have been the main instrument OF
perpeIuating power Ia The hands Of the nm
scrupulous Democracy, combined together
for its overthrow. But corporation. or
nnion, by the Opposition oil Kentucky, i.
now and forever, utterly undesirable and
impossible with any party or prr>nuS who
seek, by The action OF The Federal Govern
menr, through any OF its departments. 10 IN
terlere with The Institution of slavery, and
we declare that we can have no utilization.
whatever, with disunonists or aboii,onsis.
All others are invited 10 a cordial aiiiliation
on terms Of perfect equality.
