General Sherman's Opinion. . [Extract from his speech, delivered at New Orleans.] Before signing the agreement with! General Joe Johnson, leal led togcth-j er aJl the generals under niy coin-; mand, aud without a dissenting voice , they agreed with me. I believe they} Hurrendered in good faith, and would have lived up to the very letter of tno ( agreement and in my opinion, if there; had been no reconstruc tion acts ofvJi n-j gress, aud the armies been J eft attnei lime to settle all questionsof differ-' ence between the different sections of the country, the people would at' one? become quiet and peaceable, ij probably have as good means of In-1 formation as most persons i-ii regard ! 4o wbiiX.. is calied the Ku-Klux, and i atn perfectly sattetied that the wimg is greatty overestimated ; and if ttie Ku-Klux bills were kept out of Con- : gres*, and the army kept ut their legitimate duties, there are enough! good and true men iu all Southern State* to put down ail Ku-Klux or &iher bands of marauders. The above utterances of the Gen-! era! in chief, has been made the sub-! ject of unmeasured ridicule and abuse from the Radical journals. But whatever they may say, in this he Veprtsenls the whole army which he. *A,nman<is. as well as the sentiment; <0/ :tlxe bent iufoim-y -an^ m08^ C*'8* | ^mssiq-uate of botb aeetions. ] Jji-t.it be borne in mind, says tl?e | Baltimcm Sun, that thin is 1 J?e testimony of the General of the Army of the Uuited States, who'has betteri in cans of'knowing, through the reports of his subordinate otficerw, the facta of K:u Kluxisin than noisjT politicians th (Congress. These 'views are in aeeord with those of the most candid and dispassionate observers of ovents in the South, and also with the probabilities of the-case. lion. Sherman deserves the respect of the country, not only because of his military courage, but for his moral courage. He has the sagacity to appreciate the true policy of the Government, if it would make this country happy and prosperous, and the manliness to proclaim his real "convictions. II I llli'l " g II I .

The Democratic party of Kentucky, which comprises nearly all of the people of the State, have nominated P. II. Leslie for Governor, and adopted ihe following platform of principles: The Democratic party of Kentucky, in convention assembled, reitffirmrnjj tho principles announced by j the conventions held since the war, resolve : ? 1 That wise statesmanship and . true patriotism require universal andUnqualified amnesty. 2. That the iud istries of the country demand the abolition of the present mode of raising the revenues, by whieh portions ot' the republic arc! oppressed ami robbed to enrich monopolies and certain sections; an'd the speedy adoption of a system by vchieh the burdens ?of taxation will be equally and justly distributed and the taxes actually paid may- reach the | Treasury 3. Tijat the preservation of liberty is possible onl}' through the Slates, and we protest against every act by which States are deprived of this just and constitutional power, and State tribunals are ousted of their proper and.necessary jurisdiction. And we arc ready to join in all lawful and just measures to reverse the tyrannical act of the party in power, whereby it is soughHo strip the States of nil rights and to concentrate ull the power or the government in a great centralized despotism. 4. We endorse the address recently ! issued by the Democratic members ol J Congress, :uid unite in condemning! all acts by which unconstitutional ami despotic powers are conferred, upon the President, by which, with tinuse of the army and liavy, the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, the povver to declare martial law, cali out tiie militia, and invade the States wiiliout the request of their Executive or Legislature, and oLiier umie-j tined means, he can destroy the free-1 dom of elections, tfu inde|>eudcnce of; the judiciary and the sovereignty of; I 111} 5 lutes. . 5.

I may be pardoned for tints even casually alluding to the political t?ituation as this must be recognized in the application of any practical remedy for the d? ranged condition of onr finances, either rvul or supposed. Yet, even with the most economical and provident administration of the affairs of tho State, it would be impossible to reduce public expenditure to the anti-wai standard. The basis of our government is essentially changed. At present, Wo have more than double the population to be provided (or, by Jaw, than formerly, and sharing and directly subject to the civil administration, and the expendi lure must be, therefore, absolutely greater. So far as that expenditure has been unnecessary* or disproportionately increased, it nhould be corrected, and this is the true financial problem. Any action that t ho convention, rising above the spirit of the partisan, (as 1 trust it wiH,) may take, in the interest of the wtortlo people, to solve this2 problem, should receive the cordial support'of alTgood citizens, and sh; II. most assuredly, have mine.
