The People OF Kentucky Speaking
Out.
The re eoIud9ns adopted at several Of
the recent Comfy Conventions in Keh-
tqoky denote . hearty and rapidly fh
piofisg sentiment among the people Far
in advance Of the bastard loyalty of ihe
Louisville papers. We find In them none
Of those furious assaults on the Admins
t~ration, which form the staple Of those
f~actious organs Of conservative DemOe-
rucy." The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the Convention
in Lexington, Fsyette county;
RESOLVED, That we heartily indorse and
rAtiiy the action of the Union Convention
Of Kentucky, which was held at the city

the. nominees of that Convention for the
several Offices as selected.
Resolvsd, That we are for employing
the whole powers of this Government in
men and money until this rebellion is put
down, and the rebels made to submit to
national authority.
Resolved That although zoe may differ as
10 tho policy Of some of The measures of the
Administration, this is no time fer denounc-
ing them, as by that means ice give aid and
conJortt to hs rebels in ar1ns and encourage
deHa 1og0eS at bonlS to ride into office.
Resotrea, That we tUiH support no man for
alice, national or Sta'e, who is in favor of an
arnis tice Or peace conventions, or who is OPP
posed to the whole power Of the Govern
ment being used until this rebellion il
suppressed,
RESOLVED, That the late orders (Nos. IS

meet with our unqualified appreciation
and we trust they will be rigidly en-
forced.
