sOIFe TO Cut loose From Bead issues
and Become Progressive.
CoNFEDRTT y ROADS,
(wich is in the State ny Kentucky
January %, 1872.
We he'd q consultashen at the Cor
ners last week, at wich was discussed
the past, present and future Nv the
= Tyfnocrfsv. BascOm remarked that
it wood take q long time to 60 over
the mast Nv the party, but from pres
eut appearauces he WuZ Nv the opin-
ion t6st its fUcher Good be fully dis
cussed in a mint or two. I rebooked
him for the attemptid levity.
The meetin wuZn't t eggsackly a love
feast, nor yit a revival, but it par
took largely Nv the general appear
ance and feel Nv a funeral. There
wuz on the faces Nv all present q sort
Nv sabd0Oed sadnis, kind nv dis
pairin hopelisnis and forced resigna-
ton, e il were, Wich I hey observed
on the faces Nv gentlemen who he'd
bin convicted Nv murder in the fnst
degree, and Wuz in conscience stand
in on a trap door, in company with q
sheriff, clergyman, q doctor or two,
and the committee Wich he'd bin ap-
pointed TO see that he wuz properly
hung.
It wuz decided that what allied the
Dimooxisy wuz its close adherence to
dead ishOOs, its general clingin to the
past, and its stubborn refeosal to ac-
cept the inevitable. made that last
remark and It struck a responsive
chord In al their bosOms. Deekin
POgram didn't hev the faintest idea Nv
what the inevitable Wuz, but lie sed
he wuz ready TO accept il, and Bas-
com who spOsed It wuz suthin Gppos-
ed 70 the credit system, sed it Wuz
wat he bed bin clamOring for, for
years. We agreed that the time he'd
come when the Dimoeracy shOOd cut
loose from the dead past, accept the
inevitable, and gird up her loins for
a grapple with the live present and
the kickin fucher. I've determined
that We wood bury in deep grave al
the lumber that he'd impeded our on
ward movements, and thrOWia our
selves into the ranks Nv progress, keep
close up-ef not q fetch ahead-uv
the progressivest. And we appointed
meetin at Tieh to enunciate these
new views, and appointed committees
TO dsaft TesolOOshens, expressive nv
EN-. The meetin wuz held last mite,
and the foll0Win Wareases and resos
ioosheus, wich wuz adopted, shows
the feelin Wieh animated it:
Wareas, The necessity Nv the timee
dfmandE the continuance in life
Nv TIE Democratic party; and
RdreGs, Itcan't be expected that q
party kin live forever on wat It hez
Ra7eas, The times demand pro-
gress, s,and the veryl yliYest Nv live ideas,
and
Rdreas, The Dimocratle party is a
party Nv progress, Il bein only neces-
saFy FOR her to cut from her shoulders
the load Wieh hez borne her down,
that she may be free and unembarass-
ed TO run q new race nv rejuvenatid
life, and
Rdreas, We desire to cut loose from
the dead past and accept the inevita-
bic, that we may be abreast Nv the
most progressive, we therefore adopt
tie foilowin ez the plstfrom Nv prin-
ciples nv the progressive Dimoeratic
party Nv Kentucky =
Rssoleed, That the Dimoericy Nv
Kentucky bein party Nv progress
and reform, refOosen to turn its face
backward-refoosin to consider the
dead past, or TO deal with any but live
ishoos, does hereby declare that the
last war with Great Britain, that Nv
lSl2, was not only justihable but
highly rite, and that while we de-
nounce with inexpressible loathing
tedetalists who opposed Is, we declare
the zite Nv American vessels to sail
the high seas without bein subjected
TO the annoyance nv search, and put
proudly unto our banners, 'sDown with
bloo-lite Federalists-Free Trade and
Sailors Rites ~ thG
ResoIOed, That the removal Nv the
Deposits iby Andrew Jackson wuz
not only constitutional but wuz COM
mendable. Wstt
ResolUed, That the charges agin the
administrator nv Martin Van Bu-
rem were falsehOods nv the most auda-
shus character, and thst the progress
iv Dimocracy nv Kentucky do here
by denounce the falsifyin scOundrels
who not only published, but proved
p them outrageous statements.
ResolpecK, That the annexashun nv
Texas and the consequent war with
Mexico wuz jestifable, and we hereby
thank the soldiers for their gallantry.
2 ResolVed, Thai. the conduct Of Ste
phen A. Douglas in dividin the Dim
ccratlc party and thereby electih A.
Linkin to the Presidency, was not
only reprehensible but ,damnable.
ResoJUsd, That we desire to bury
dead ishoos, but we do assert that the
war agin the Southern States mcgee
rated by A. Ilnkin and carried on by
tkeI A6ilishinists, was heenyus and
cussid, and the progressive Dlmocra-
cy Of Kontucky hereby pledge them
selves TO wage an undyin war agin
all concerned IN itrforever and forev-
er, aTid.to bequeath this undyin hate
to their children and children's chill
dren to the latest generashun.
Res0loed, That turnin our faces to
the fucher, we do assert African Sla- !
very was not only Biblikle, but wuz
RELY for the best interests of the AZ 4
ricaD and the Caucashun, and that in 4
emaneipatin the slaves, A. LiDkini
and his Ablishin cOadjutOrs not only
struck g blow at reveeled religion, but 1
q staggrin one at the material inter-
estsVy. our beloved country.
Bss5IJed, That while we accept the
inevitable, We declare the African to
be the inferior Nv the white man, and
must from Biblikle and chronological
reasons allz be inferior, and that the
giyin nv him the ballot, after maxim
Nv him free, is an outrage to Eieh no
Democrat can possibly submit.
Resolved, That the propOsishen to
not only permit the niger to vote, but
make him eligible to joory doOty, and
TO of7s, Is one wich no progressive
DfmocrRt kin entertain for a mint.

mocracy 90 hereby enter their solem
protest agfn the payment Nv the debt

n1Qeraeg look with alarm upon the
Efforts bein made in Delaware to abol.

the Southern States wicl1 are conpeIl-
ed to live under the rool Nv niggers
and demoralizen Northern whites
hev the nveliest sympathy Nv the
0AlLOLAeA-f Nv AEnLuEkN- ]
and while we do not approve nv vio-
lence ez a rOol, we still say GOd-speed

ResoIUed, That the Civil Rites bill
now bein urged by that most hidjus
Nv all Ablishnists, Charles Sumner, is
an outrage to wich we will never sub
