puO'iCau, thCtG aiC opot> tAdt retain tASl al
cient love for the Union, instead of surrender
ing everything to the direction of an Admins
tration controlled by radical and discoutented
spirits. The true position for California, and
for every other State, is that assumed by Ken
lucky at her recent election. Throwing her
full strength and power in favor of the Union
and against The rebellion, she yet maintains
her dignity as an independent State, and re
fuses TO endorse the political features and poi>
cy that bad advisers have thrust upon the Ad-
miuistration.
There is 10 such position nothing to Grip
pie the efforts of the government, or the Ad
ministration if you please, in putting down the
rebellion, and restoring the supremacy Of the
constitution and laws over the revolted States
This was the avowed object for which the war
was prosecuted, until politicians succeeded in
forcing partysm into the conduct Of the war,
that actually denies TO those OF the seeded who
might desire TO return to the Union, rights
clearly recognized by the constitution, through
all our former existence as a nation. For the
people to pledge support to the policy Of an
Administration that is endeavorng to change
the Federal constitution aud laws instead OF
restoring their supremacy is a privilege of the
people, certainly, but the Democracy do not
consider it called for by any dictates or phase
of pure patriotism.
This is the true doctrine Of the platform Of
the Democracy of this State, as it is that Of
the Democracy of the Northern States, and of
the people of Kentucky. Individual nomi-
neess may have believed differently and spoken
differently. If so they cannot justify their
Endorsement of the platform, or their accept
ance Of their nominations. We have thought
We could say this much concerning the Demo
cratic position, now that the election has
passed, without exciting a howl of contradic-
lion from the Republican press Their charg-
eS treason against the Democracy may have
kept men from voting the Democratic ticket.
They have no further occasion at present for
such false charges, and may as well place
themselves right on the record. The Democ-
racy, BOW as heretofore, are for as much war
as is necessary for the preservation of the I'm
ion, and to assert the supremacy of the Ma
tional constitution and laws passed iu pursu-
ancc thereof and are not in favor of using the
military and naval force of the nation to force
u change of State Institutions
Some of the counties of the State have in.
dorsed this position, and doubtless the whole
State would have done so, but for the persis-
tent misrepresentation of the Republican press.
