(From The lexington * O6serrcr, Of Januaryo
ABoIrlos THE resolutions upon the subject OF Abo.
lton which first passed the Senate have been adopted
by the House Of Representatives of the Kentucky lie.
gisa,urc II will be remembered that Of The pro
visions Of the resolutions is, that Two Commissioners
shall be- appointed by joint vote OF the two Houses Ot
the Legislature TO proceed TO Ohio lay before the Le-
aslature Of that State, the views Of Kentucky in re
gard this question, and ask of its hands the enact.
nent Of such laws will tend to the suppression OF
the evils growing out Of the interference OF certain IA
na,ical Individuals in Ohio with the slave population Of
Kentucky. The individuals selected Jas. Il. Nure-
head Esq, OF franklin, and John Speed Smith, Esq
Of Madison. We presume that these gentlemen will
accept the appointment, and proceed forthwith 10
cute the trust conded to them, in manner worthy of
the State whose representatives they are and Of their
own distinguished regulations.
COL Memminger of South Carolina, arrived in this
city Monday evening last, and lett the next morning
for Frankfort Colonel nj is the gentleman, whom We
mentioned last week as having been appointed by the
Directors Of the Charleston Railroad Company, pro-
coed 10 Frankfort for the purpose OF laying before the
Kentucky Legislature, the views OF the company, upon
the banking privileges for The road which they ask
ing a, the hands of the State. We suppose, that Col
Memmnrer will be heard before the Legislature during
the present week. yesterday The day set for the
bill 10 be taken up in the House OF Representatives
A highly interesting discussion may be anticipated
We still incline TO the opinion, from all that can
learn that the Kentucky Legislature will do justice 10
this company in granting their reasonable and in
opinion, 10 Kentucky, mos beneficial request.
