KENTUCKY POLITICS.
The Democratic State Central Committee of Ken. |
lucky have called State Convention of the party,
to meet at Frankfort, on the 18th of July. The
Convention is to assembe-first, to nominate a
candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals; sec
ond to ''take into consideration and act upon such
other matters as may be brought before it, touch
ing the general interests of the party" The Louis
VILE Courier calls attention to the Importance of
the Convention. The clerkship is the best paying
office in the State, and the 'other matters affect
the Presidential campaign. The Courier remarks
OF the business that will come before the Con-
vention:
"Two OF three of the district electors appointed
last January have intimated an intention not to
support this Breckinridge and Lane) ticket to op-
pose the representative of the principles of the
Democracy OF Kentucky. The places thus vacated
are to be filled by true and sound men; and the
ganization of the party is to be perfected bv sup
plying any vacancies in district local commit
tees that may be caused hereafter, that now ex-
st, in consequence of the DEATH resignation or de-
lection of the original incumbents"
The Courier says further:
"The Douglasites have more right to partici-
pate in this State Convention, or in the urinary
meetings of the Democracy, than the friends of Bell
and Everett, or of Lincoln and Hamlin"
The Indianapolis Journal SAYS that Breckinridpe
and Lane will receive large number of votes in In
diana, and Will give the State to Lincoln and Ham
lin by at least 10000. The Journal thinks the
state good for 1000 to 10000 majority for Lincoln
without divided Democracy
