From the Frankfort (Ky) Commonwealth Of august loth.
Every acquainted with the issues presented and
discussed before the people during the canvass will con-
cede that the verdict just rendered by this State indicates
in unmistakesble terms the wish of Kentucky that the
against the rebellion shall be prosecuted with the
whole power of the American nation until the sabsh
ment of the authority of the Federal Government through
out the whole land The result further indicates IN terms
equally clear and distinct that Kentucky with entire
unanmty dsapproves of the radical policy of the Admin
traton regard to the slavery question: and she expects
that her Congressman just elected will resort to every
constitutional and legal method TO change that policy and
place this great struggle with treason upon the high van
tage ground of restoring the Constitution and the laws
without reyoutionzing ovsrturnng State institutions
Kentucky abhors secession and she abhos with equal
intensity the mad fanatca schemes of the aboonsts
Secession and abotonsm are in her Judgment the enc
mics of law and ORDER and must be crushed beneath the
heel Of indignant people before real genuine lasting
Union can be restored The Union of Kentucky will
unite with party in the Free States which does not
occupy high conservative ground Nor will they CO.
pere with any political organization which fayors the
withdrawal of gallant army from the territory they
now occupy or which will refuse the necessary men and
money to sustain that army in its struggle with the rebel
lion Nor will they co operate with any political organ-
zaon which avors the prosecution of this war chiefly or
solely for the abolition of the institution of slavery and
not for the restoration of the Constitution and the Union
as they existed at the commencement of the rebellion
In the coming Presidential contest Kentucky will occupy
no doubtful position and she will throw the weight OF her
vast influence in the scale for that party which reflects
most nearly the views we have indicated
