The New YTorl: News says, we do
not know whether there was any spe
cial virus about the assembly of the
Kentucky Democratic State Conven
tion, recently held at Frankfort, in
that State. But that tbo doctrine
enunciated was orthodox—sound
Democratic doctrine—thoroughly in
accord, in 9hort, with the principles
of the Democratic party, cannot be
denied after a perusal of them. We
prefer, in view of the stubborn fidel
ity to the traditions of the party, to
give them entire;
R e s o l v e d , That the Federal Union
was formed by and composed of co
equal sovereign fcjtates, and its Gov
ernment possesses none but delega
ted powers, all other powers not pro
hibited to the States being reserved
by the several StateB respectively;
and all attempts to exercise any pow
er in violation of these fundamental
principles are subversive of the Con
stitution, in direct conflict with the
rights of the States, and destructive
of the interests of the people.
R e s o l v e d . That while we earnestly
maiutaiu that the Federal Govern
ment shonld be sedulously sustained
in the proper exercise of every power
delegated to it in the Constitution,
carefully and strictly construed as to
the established means of securing
justice and harmony among the sev
eral States, the chosen medium of
communication between them and
other nations,' and the safest means
of defense against foreign aggression,
we hold it to be essential to the pres
ervation of the liberties of the citizen
that the several States shall te main

equality as the most competent and
reliable administrators of their own
domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwarks against anti-republican

trine than these plucky, well-timed
Kentucky resolutions.
That la a mistaken principle alto
gether which asserts that the recent
unfortunSte civil war between the
North and the South has, in any res
pect, altered the obligation of the va
rious States composing the Union
toward the general Federative Gov
ernment that ^embraces the whole.
Constitutionalism—as the same is
understood to-day—is no more dead
now than when Andrew Jackson
sworo that “ The Union must and
shall be preserved," or when Abra
ham Lincoln became President. The
war of 1861-1865 has destroyed nei
ther the integrity of the Constitution
itself nor tho autonomy of tho States
forming the Union. That which was
good and seemed wise in a political
sense at the organisation of the Gov
ernment is both good and wise at this
date.
The Kentucky Democrats
have subscribed to a bill of rights
wholly right, in themselves, in all
the relations which the party can as
sume to the General Government—
to the various States which form it—
to our citizens of native birth, and to
tho citizens of foreign birth among
us. Once before, in the history of
the country, the statesmen of that
State gave strength to tho Constitu
tion of the United States. It seems
proper, therefore, that its Democra
cy, in a season of doubt and treach
ery, should again answer the slogan
of danger, and assert once more the
principles that go to make a free and
incorruptible republic.
