S ta te 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 tained in all their rights, dignity and equality as the most competent and reliable administrators of their own domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican W .

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.
