The following are the leading resolutions
adopted by the Democratic State Conven-
ton to-day: alrE-v a.r--a --s-.
Resolved, That the Democracy of the
State of Kentucky now re-afirm the prin-
ciples contained in the platform adoped by
former conventions of the party since and
including the conventions of the first day of
MAY, 1866. These platforms contain sub
stantally the theory and practiee'of which,
we believe ifcarried out, will secure protec-
ton to life; liberty and property and all the
essential ends of free government.
Resolved Whils we do not
expressly instruct our delegates to the
National Convention as to the course they
shall pursue, we expect them after consul
tation with the representatives of the De-
mocracy of the whole country, to take
such action as will most likely insure a
perfect union of all elements of opposition
to the nominees of the Philadel-
phia Convention, and that the Demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky unhesitatingly pledge
themselves to give the ticket
that may be presented to the country by
the Baltimore Convention an earnest and
active support, not only because it will be
a representative bedy Of The whole party,
but because in party organization it is the
ultimate judge of the line of policy which
the members of the party should pursue.
Resolved, that delegates from Kentucky
to the Baltimore Convention are instruct
ed to vote as unit on all occasions.
Resolutions introduced instructing the
delegates to vote for the endorsement Cf
Greely and Brown in the Baltimore Con-
Vention were withdrawn upon a pledge OF
prominent Bourbons to go for the CiHcin-
natl ticket.

Politics VS.. Cotton.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-Some appre-
tensions have been expressed that the ex-
element Of the forthcoming Presidential
campaign will have a serious effect on the
cotton crop, in the South, by reason Of the
tendency the political canvass will have to
infatuate the cOlored hands engaged in field
work, and draw them off to attend con7en-
tions, etc, at the very time when it should
he picked. The suggestion Is made that
strong precautions be taken by planters to
guard against the possibility of losing the
large crops they have planted by their la
borers deserving them at the most inoppor-
tHne period, and yet not such as can by
any partisan machinery be twisted into an
effort to compel their paid workmea to alb
stain from indulging their proclivities for
gathering political information, and to de-
pIiVe them of any right which they have
under the Constitution and laws.
