1t is generally understood that our eff
ficient Postmaster, on account of his
old age, will resign, to take effect some
time soon. OF course there are several
persons desirous of filling the old mans
shoes. Mr.. w. c. Morton is an aspi-
rant for the position. He is well quail
fled, is firm, uncompromising Repub-
lican and is just now out of employment
and has many warm friends i'm both, in
fact all political parties who desire his
appointment, knowing that he would
make a good officer. Notwithstanding
all this, however, We do not think he
has any show for the appointment, be-
cause "Buck" was brave Federal SOL
dier during the late war, having fought
the fight clear through, and received
an honorable discharge. This is en6ugh
to ruin him with the political wire
workers of the Republican party, for
while they denounce Democrats as hos
tile to Federal soldiers, they take care
to promote but few of them to paying
positions.

Capitalization w. state Rights.

The Republicans affect to regard State
Rights rs synonomous with secession,
and to regard the Democratic appeals
for recognition by the General Gov
ernment of the reserved rights of the
States to control their own respective
internal governmental affairs as a re-
vival of the dOgmas of secession. Therein
they commit grave mistake, and one
fraught with the direct evils to the
country, for nothing can be palmer to
any intelligent and well informed mind
than that the States under the Federal
constitution possess letters patent tocer-
tain reserved rights, which, on their en-
trance into the Federal compact, they
retained, and from which they have
never yet parted, and nothing can, to
the same intelligence, be more true than
that the question of secession was for
ever settled by the last war, and must
remain forever as dead as the gallant
heroes who Offered up their lives in vim
dication of its right, and the equally
gallant warriors who died to establish
Its fallacy as principle in American
politics. Secession failed, and every
thoughtful man who wore the gray
readily admits the fact, and that the
chapter is closed, and yet that the States
have rights and Jurisdictions separate
from and independent of the Federal
authority and jurisdiction in one who

tuition of the United States and reflect
for one moment upon the fabric of our

ton by the Federal government of the
right to control elections i'm the States
by means of the infamous supervisors of
elections, law and military interference
at the polls is II fragrant usurpatiOn of
power, and an outrage upon the right of
free suffrage, that highest and most
sacred right which the citizen can enjoy,
and any encroachment upon which,

of individual right and contamination

Federal constitution contains the only
limitations upon the powers of the States
to be found in that instrument. That
section reads as follows: "NO State shall
enter into any treaty, alliance, or con-
federation; grant letters of marque and
reprisal; coin, money, emit bills OF
credit; make anything but gold and
silver coin IA tender in payment of debts;

MUSICAL programme given by the citi-
zens of the city. After which the large
audience adjourned 10 the Park which
was beautifully Illuminated, where
Kerkers band gave some splendid
music, while the handsome ladies' both
of the city and from afar, escorted by
the gay editors, spent an hour i'm a de-
lightful promenade concert.
Friday, June 10th, the editors met at
Odeon Hall at o'clock, where they
were taken into carriages and in charge
of the committee of citizens, were driven
to the chief places of interest in and
around the city; and we We're surprised
to find 50 many city airs put on at
Bowling Green.
In the afternoon the fire department
was displayed TO good advantage, and
the efficient corps displayed much drill
in fighting the devouring flames.
But THE GRAND EVENT
of the whole convention was reserved
for Friday night. At s o'clock the
music in the Park gathered Il crowd to
enjoy the cool brceZes and make love in

as with hot iron, the heart of. an old
bachelor may be, neutrality-suspicious.

such an assembly, but we We're in too
good humor to indulge in such.
At - NJ. the banquet was spread, and
about six hundred people feasted upon
the good of the land, and toasted
between drinks of champagne. The
ball was continued until day-break.
Saturday, 2l-At an early hour the
convention gathered at the landing OF
the Green River Navigation Company's
steamers, where two fine vessels awaited
to take us down TO Browns Lock, upon
a cruise. Everybody seemed to bt
happy, and the dancing went on. TIL,
above company had given the excursion
and dinner out of their pure love for the
Press Association, and they deserve tn,
highest praise for their entire success.
Many of the editors left on the even

for home.

"A letter was read from Hon. Peter
Cooper, from which we clip the follow
ing extract. After referring to the finan-
cial relief needed Mr.. Cooper proceeded:
Any course or party action that will
hasten that day will be an incalculable
blessing to the people; hence, rejoiced
when | heard that the great Democratic
party of Ohio had nominated one of
the most outspoken and ablest advocates
of sound national currency issued solely
by this government. 1t seems to me
that this is one of the most significant
facts in regard to the progress of our
cause in the west. | must say, there
fore, in response to the request for adj
vice, that | think this nomination of
Gen. Ewing ought To be sustained.
Without wishing To imply any dispar-
agement to the excellent gentleman
nominated 10y the greenback convention
in Ohio, or wishing to dictate to any
one in the full exercise of their political
Judgment, | must say, that if We're a
citizen of Ohio, | should vote for Gen.
Ewing, as not only consistent with the
great principle for which we contend as
an Independent party, but also the best
method of securing success i'm our con-
test against the vicious policy that is
distressing our people.
Yours, very truly,
[Signed] PETER COOPER.
The letter was received with great
applause.
The following resolution was adopted
In view of the extraordinary political
situation, we deem it ineXpedient t.
nominate a State ticket at this time.
Nowif all honest Greenbackers would

Disturbers of the Public Peace.

The return of the Democratic party To
power i'm the two Houses of Congress,
and the encouraging signs that the peo-
pie will, in 1850, repudiate the party of
"high moral ideas" and bury it under a
popular majority 80 great that Gabriel's
horn could not resurrect it, is exceeding
ly aggravating To the kid-gloved gentry
who have been reveling, for so many
years, in the luxury of official power
and emolument, and the bare sight of
the grand old Democratic army as il
marches i'm triumph from the retaking
of one ancient citadel of Constitutional
Liberty 10 the conquest of another, so
long polluted 10y the tread of the retain
ers of Capitalization, military suprem-
acy and official prostitution, the sworn
enemies of constitutional limitation;
and rs the valiant captors plant the old
flag upon the redeemed fortresses, cheer
ed on by the plaudits of the people
whose hosoms swell with hope at the
prospect of complete political disen-
thrallment from their old-time friend.
the Radical leaders orators are thrown
into such hopeless CONSERVATION that
they resort To such fantastic tricks rs to
not only make Heaven weep at their
wicked foolishncss, but to excite min
gled feelings of mirth and disgust in the
breasts of all honest, thoughtful people.
As witness Gen. Scuyler Hamilton on
Decoration Day, who says in substance
that the country is filled with the adhe-
rents of treason, treason reigns trium-
phant and defiant in both Houses of
Congress, and he recants what he is
pleased to call twaddles in Il moment
of sicllly sentimentality he was con-
strained TO utter i'm behalf of reconcilia-
ton of the sections and the allaying Of
the passions and prejudices engendered
by the late war. He recants his former
utterances in favor of peace and peace
ful pursuits, of amnesty and reconcilia-
ton and their consequent blessings and
denounces them as the promptings of a
''sickly sentimentality, as unadulter-
ated ''twaddle" and urges that no con-
federate grave should receive a single flo
raj tribute, and argues that such trib-
ute of respect, the promptings of no.
hle humanity toward the brave confed-
crate dead, who We're but the victims OF
misguided and unsuccessful valor, is a
misprision of treason. But enough a.
to the fiery rant and incorporate zeal
of the ''bloody" General and his still
bloodier utterances which are but the
promptings of irrational apprehension
of the early overthrow of the regime OF
hate which Gen. Hamilton and his par
tisans seek to perpetuate. We have no
patience for such rant and no respect for
those who utter it, and while not con-
federate ourself We would be glad to
see the approach of the time when the
joint decoration of the graves of the
the brave Federal and Confederate dead
will be performed by the same brave
men and fair women on the same day,
as tribute to American valor and
prowess whose deeds of noble daring
and brave, uncomplaining endurance are
the joint heritage of common country.

The Scissors Men of Kentucky Convene.

The annual meeting Of the Kentucky
newspaper men was held at Bowling
Green, on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, June l9th-2lst, and was largely
attended. The first meeting was held
at II o'clock on Thursday and consisted
of an address of welcome by Hon. c. V.
McElroy, and was neat address given
by a neat little Orator, in which he
made us all feel really at home. Col
Johnston, the president of the X. p. A.,
responded i'm brief address, i'm which
he eulogized the Speaker and the hospi-
table citizens of Bowling Green, and
then reviewed the responsibilities and
power of the press, and urged the need
of high honor in the profession. The
afternoon was devoted to the business of
the convention, which consisted chiefly
of reports of committees and the elec-
ton of Officers for the ensuing year.
The following is the list: Col. j. Stod-
dard Johnston, of the Frankfort Ye0-
man, President; Elvis Porter, Bowling
Green Rrntagrdph, Vice President;
