KENTUCKY CONFERENCE.-The Frankfort cores
pondent Of the Louisville Courier writes thus as to
the cause Of his rejection from a reporters seat
"The pretext for excluding your reporter was that
if they admitted him, they would have 10 admit eve
~ body else who applied, and that the convention
might thereby be crowded and embarrassed in their
deliberations. But this all CANNON. There
other applications, and probably would not have
been half dozen during The session.
But all this CAB about lack of room, &C., mere
rnake-beiere, aud nothing MORE Had the application
been made by pTO-slavery paper, | very much
doubt if word of objection would have been heard
from either of the Jefferson and had the individual
applying for seat not borne prominent part in the
canvass which resulted in the disg'aceful defeat of
the Kentucky Talleyrand for Congress some years
since. pnd had the Courier not recently demanded Of
the Governor proclamation Offering q reward for
apprehension of kinsman Of said gentleman, |
doubt whether the delegate from Nelson, &C. A..
Wickliffe.) would lave led off against the applica-
tion with so much fervor and such uncompromsing
hostility"
NATIVE AMsRIcANIsM.-The same writer says
The following Native American resolution was
submitted yesterday by Mr.. Garrett Davis, which he
asked TO have referred to the Committee the Whole
and printed:

and classes only shall be entitled for any civil

other OF the United States such foreigners, having also
in every case the like qualifications Of residence, and
all other points, that required Of native born cilizens
and property authenticated copy of The record being
all cases required for the ver6cation of the facts
The question taken and the result appeared 10
be doubtful,
Mr.. Davis called for the yeas and nays.
Several gentlemen expressed the opinion that courtesy
repaired that the proposition should be printed for the
convenience of members in its consideration although
OF them favorable tho principles which
il involved After brief conversation the motion
agreed to without a division.
When this resolution shall come to be acted upon
by the Convention we will hear the master speech oil
the session from the mind of the Convention
If possible will let you know Of it in time for you
to come and hear it. The democrats to man will
oppose the principle of the resolution, and so,
think, will a majority of the wings. But this re-
mains 10 be seen.
