The Constitution or our state secures to all the enjovinetit of equal right and privileges. The native and adopted citizens are pld on terms of perfect eqi'alitT, and while the parly wYich has elevated me to office, desires a revision and modificatioii of the laws in re lation to emigration anil naturalisation, it neither propose nor desires to impair this quality. Both the native and adopted citi zens are subject to the same penalties 6r a violation of the law, and so far as 1 am con cerned shall receive equal protection in the exercise of their civil, political and religious rights. The functions of religion ana me rights of conscience are sacredly exempt from all civil jurisdiction, and 1 need not add that all religious sects or denominations are enti tled to and shall receive equal protection. In her federal relations, Kentucky has nc. er ceased to look to the Union of the states as the best ami onlv security for her peace and J.sppines. She require all her otneers to take an oath o support tne consmuuou of the United States.
