tions were unanimously approved by meet
ing of the Democratic members of the Ken
lucky Legislature, and other citizens of the
Democratic party, convened at the Senate
Chamber in Frankfort, on the 29th and 3Oth
of January, 1868, and are hereby approved
and adopted by this Convention.
4. Resolved, That the union of the States
cannot be maintained and perpetuated, un-
less their constitutions and laws, not incon-
sistent with the Constitution of the United
States, their rights and interests thereby in
tended to be secured, and their reserved
powers, are respected and held inviolate by
the General Government, and unless that
Government shall refrain from the assump-
ton and exercise of ungranted powers.
5. ResoEved, That we will cooperate with
such of the adhering States as shall concur

a lasting peace in the country, and perma-

6. Resolved, That we hail with feelings
of the liveliest satisfaction the recent vic

A SOLDIERS VIEWS The following is an
extract from private letter from voun-
teer in the ranks in army of Rosecrans:
But they have seen enough of the negro
service to convince them that this war can
never be brought to final close under the
present policy. This regiment is made up
of good old farmers, and they went ont to
fight to maintain the Constitution and laws,
and restore the Union; and after sacrificing
so much they are not willing to lose all for
the sole purpose of upholding the high
hand ed usurpation of the Abclitionists, in
their wicked attempt to destroy the very
thing they--went out to fight for. We, as
good soldiers, earnestly pray to the Ruler
Of nations to interpose in our behalf. tha
these things should no longer be; and we
also petition the good citizens that we have
left behind, that they petition the authori-
ties to bring about an armistice for time
and try to stop any more blood being shed
until there is an effort made to settle the
difficulties.

AN ABOLITION SENATOR'S PArRIor1sM.
Some two or three months ago, Senator
TTumbull, of illinois. made speech, in
which occurred the following declarations:

defeated at Bull Run and on the Peninsula,
and under Pope; for, without such defeats,
we should not have had the Emancipation
Proclamation. Had we won at Bull Run,
or taken Richmond, the backbone OF the re-
bellion would have been broken, and the
Union would have been restored with slave

rebuke his colleague Richardson recently, in

The V1RGtNIANs.-The Washington Re-
publican, the semi official organ of Presi-
dent Lincoln, has the following in praise OF
the rebels of the Old Dominion:
If there has been any decadeuce Of the
manly virtues in the Old Dominion, it is not
because the present generation has proved
itself either weak or cowardly, or unequal
to the greatest emergencies. No people,
with so few m embers, ever put into the field
and kept there so long, troops more num-
erous, brave or efficient, or produced gener-
ais of more merit in all the kinds and grades
of military talent. 1t is not worn-out and
effete race which has produced Lee, john
son, jackson, Ashby, and Stewart. It 10
not a worn-out and effete race which, foF
eighteen mouths. has defended its capital
from the approach of an enemy close upon
their borders and outnumbering them thirty
to one. 1t is not a WORKOUT and effete race
which has preserved substantial popular uni
ty under all the strain and pressure aud sac
rfices of this unprecedented war. Let his.
tory as was said of another race, which re-
cords their unhappy fate as people, doius-
tice to their rude virtues as men, They
are fighting madly in bad cause. bat they
are fighting bravely. They have few cow
ards and no traitors. The hardships of war
are endured without a murmur by all class
es, and the dangers of war without hinchiDg
by the newest conscripts, while their gentry,
the offshoots of their peculiar social systems
have thrown tn themselves into the camp and

E 1ropean noblesse of the middle ages, risk

perate adventure, all that men value. and

Democratic National Conventions and par
ticularly that held at Cincinnati on tbe I'd of

ed and published to the American people as

ed, and again adopted. ef.
2. Resolved, As the leading idea in the
National Democratic faith, we again assert
"that the Federal Government is one of
limited power. derived solely from the Con-
stitution; aud the grants of power made
therein ought to be strictly construed by all
the departments and agents of the Govern
ment; and that it is inexpedient, and danger
Gus to exercise doubtful constitutional pow
ers."
8. ResolUed, That this Convention, repre-
sentins the Democratic party of Keptucky,
solemnly declare that they stand opposed to
the continuance and further prosecution ol
the civil war now existing, for the reasons
