correspondent Of the Louisville Journal, in
describing these proceedings, sasa:

luton that, whereas. the Legislature believes
that Breckinridge is in favor of disupitng
the States by acknowledging the indeE endence
and separate nationality Of the Confederate
States, and will act with view TO accomplish
that object, therefore he is instructed to re-
sign. This was rejccted-4t to 20-Sh0tsiH7
the determination Of the House to act on 6ot4
Senator's. The previous question was then
demanded. the motion being to strike out

from the Committee on Federal Relations,
which is, that as Breckinridge and Powell do
not represent the will Of the people Of Ken

promptly performed long since as a matter of
