The political question is narrowed
down to this, centralized despotis n,
with the tyrants and cut throat tools at
Washington, or local self government by
the people through their own chosen
agents. It's simply, despotism or liberty
choose ye between.

OLD KENTUCKY.

The Democratic State Convention of
Kentucky met at Louisville on the 9th,
and nominated J. B. McCreary for Cover
nor on the fourth ballot. On the 9TH
they nominated J. c. Underwood for
Lieutenant Governor, Thos. E. Moss for
Attorney General, D H. Smith for Aud
itor, and J. w. Tate for Treasurer. The
following report of the Committee on
Resolutions was unanimously adopted
We hold it to be absolutely essential
to the preservation of the liberties Of the
citizens that the several States shall be
maintained in all their rights, dignity
and equality as the most complete and
reliable administration Of their own do
mestic concerns and surest bulwarks
against anri- Republican tendencies. Ev-
cry attempt on the part OF the Federal
Government to exercise a power not del
egated to it in the Constitution or to ex-
ercise delegated power in manner not
therein prescribed, is an act OF usurpa-
ton, demanding instant and unqualified
condemnation Of people jealous of their
liberties, and we hold that any unconsti-
tutional interference by the general Gov
ernment with local affairs of any State
to any extent or any pretense whatever,
should be al once repudiated and con-
demned by all classes Of every section Of
the Union, as all such acts tend directly
TO the destruction of our federal system
and consolidation Of all power in cen
tralized despotism.
A notable feature of the convention
was the active participation of the vener-
able Cassius NJ. Clay, who pledged him
self to canvass TIE State for the Demo
cratic ticket.

Nor so BAD AFTER ALL.-lt now APP
pears that, aside from the direct losses
Of those who live near the water'cOurses,
and whose crops and property were
bodily swept away by the floods, the
injury done by the recent rain storms has
been greatly Overestimated. In some
instances the direct personal losses have
been heavy and severe, but they are con.
fined TO the immediate netghborhood OF
The overAowed streams, The injury TO
the wheat in shock by growing or
"sprouting' Is not very extensive, and
will not Curtail the amount Of wheat
marketed. Either the distilleries will
absorb the sprouted grain, or 1t will be
marketed along with the good grain. II
will make bad bread, when ground; but
that consideration will hardly interfere
with the supply, In this connection the
Pittsburgh Commercial says;
1.-THE growing coin, generally, except
upon the overlooked bottoms, will be bet
tered by the rains; the oats will not be
materially injured; and the aggregate
supply OF breadstulFs for consumption
will not be shortened. The potato crop
is good everywhere, and as the breadth Of
ground occupied by the tuber is much
larger than usual, the price Of potatoes
one Of the great necessities OF life, will
be cheaper than it has been for fifteen
years. Already contracts are making as
low as twenty-five cents bushel; and as
long as potatoes can be got at from twenty.
FIVE to fifty cents bushel, there need be
little apprehension Of suffering from any
supposed scarcity Of wheat. The indf.
vidnal injuries iromthe floods are doubt.

gate supply of food is not likely to be
materially lessened,"
