The county Convention Of uncondi
tlonal Union men at Lexington on the /
18th inst. was largely and ehthusiastical-
II attended. The Union men Of Ken
tucky are. resolved not to be sold
out by small clique Of party leaders in
Louisville
The Convention at Lexington was ad
dressed at length By the vcnerabls DR.
Breckenridge. He denounced the at
tempt to turn over bodily the Union men
Of Kentucky to the Cuion Conservative
Convention to assemble at Chicago. he
characterized this appeIIation Of that
Convention as one of the aliases WHICH
The rogue always takes to cover up his
rascality. It would be no Union Con-
! vention, as it would be composed Of those
who had syrnpatbized with the Yallan-
dizham party Of Ohio, and the Guthrie
party Of Kentucky. II would partake
Of the disanision character Of those fac
tons. The object Of that Convention
was TO nominate Mcclellan, whom it vas
I impossible to elect, and who. it elected
would destroy the national cause. The
Interior object was to split the Union
party in Kentucky, and, if possible, de-
feat il in the election of President. He
warned RentHckians against being drawn
into such a suicidal course.
After DR.. Breckinridge had finished
his speech, Col Anderson was called
ont and delivered very spirited address
upon the conclusion Of which the fol
lowing resolutions we're adopted.
Resoleed, That we unite IN the call o
a Convention Of delegates from meeting

gates to represent the county Of Fayeit
in said Convention.

: ate both the authority and the advice o
! the so-called State Central Committee
headed By James Guthrie, Esq. that wi
will not send delegates to the State Con
! veniion called by them, and that we ui
E teriy repndiate all idea Of taking par
g in the National Democratic Convention
called TO meet in Chicago, Illinois, o
the 4th Of July, and denopina.ed b
i Mr.. Guthrie and bis colleagues, th
. Union Conservative National Convention
| Resoiced, Sd That we consider ever
: attempt, by whatsoever made and upo
whatever pretext to divide the Unto
F" party Of Kentucky, n supreme folly an
o outrage, and we viii resist every schem
o to throw this State and the nation int
q the hands of any other party than th

viii resist every other method propose
Q for the ruin o. TIE country.
