WAsHrxaroS, Jan, 1s.-During the debate on the
nomination Of Mr. Holt, Mr. Crittenden is said to
have taken the ground that as Kentucky is now 9
central State. enjoying ali the prosperity conse-
qusnt upon the present Union and form Of Govern
ment, she would never consent to its breaking up,
and the forming Of . Southern Confederacy, Of
which she would be border State, exposed to al
the dangers and losses Of such position. He took
the position that the Union must be preserved at al
ha ards, either by peaeeAble means or fierce, and
that force used against the lswless citizens Of
Government is rot coercion Of State. The speech
being unexpected created great sensation among
the Senators.

Gentlemen: have received your request that /
viii furnish for publication copy Of my remarks,
made in the Hal of Representatives, last evening.
Thanking you for this compliment am yet I'M
able to comply with the request which conveys it.
Even if had time, I doubt whether could write
out very full or accurate report of what sal on
that occasion; for, while my own remarks, extend
ing through several shours, had special pre-ar-
rangement of either matter or manuer, and were
delivered without single memorandun in writing.
The several and somewhat extended colleagues be-
eween Mr.. BELL and myself were entirely extempo-
raneOus and could not with propriety, even If re-
tanned accurate recollection Of them, be reported
by myself But apart from this, Indispensable en-
gagements require me to leave here for home this
evening and leave no time for the task, even if |
could otherwise perform it. The main object OF
your request however, viii be practically attained
very soon after return home; as, upon resumlng
my accustomed duties there, ] shall, necessarily
have to reproduce in the columns of my paper the
substance Of what / said last evening, though, o.
course, il other forms and connections.
Very respectfully, yours,
