ACTIoN or THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
The following resolution has been adopt.
ed by both branches of the Kentucky Leg
slature. 1t passed the Senate by vote of
25 to IL, and the House by vote of 81 to
40
ResOlved, That as this General Assembly
has made an application to Congress to call
National Convention to amend the Con-
stitution of the United States, and request
ed the Legislatures of all the other States
to make similar applications, and has ap.
pointed Commissioners to meet those which
have been appointed by other States, at a
designated time and place, to consider, and
If practicable, agree upon some suitable ad-
justment of the present unhappy controver-
sizes, it is unnecessary and inexpedient for
this Legislature to take any further action
on this subject at the present time. AS an
evidence Of the sincerity and good faith of
our propositions for an adjustment, and an
expression Of devotion to the Union, and
desire for its preservation, Kentucky awaits
with deep solicitude the response from her
sister States

ST. Louis, Feb. 10, 1861.
The Navy bill has passed the Senate.
The Committee appointed to investigate
he reports relative to the seizure of the
Capital, are unable to discover any secret
organization to seize the Capital.
Nothing has yet been done in Congress
towards compromise.
1t is thought vote on the report of the
Committee of Thirty-three will not pc pass
ed before The action of the Peace Congress.
That body is still at work, in Committee.
on the plan submitted 10y Guthrie, which is
substantially that of the Kentucky Legisla-
lature, or Crittenden's Compromise, with
out the clause relative TO territory hereafter
acquired A resolution has been adopted
that no territory shall be hereafter acquired
without the approval of three -fourths of the
States.
The obstacle in the Peace Congress is
understood to be the territorial question.
The progress of the President elect from
Indianapolis to Pittsburg was a continued
ovation. He made several speeches along
the route, and expressed confidence in the
final settlement of all difficulties for thus
far nobody had been hurt. He says his
policy must be regulated by ever-changing
circumstances, but he must adhere to the
Chicago platform on all subjects.
Lincoln's speeches are very gratifying
to ultra Republicans at Washington aud
elsewhere, hut are not encouraging to those
who have been hopeful of compromise.
The condition of affairs at the South is
unchanged. The new Provisional Govern
ment having taken charge of affairs, no as
sault upon any Of the forts is apprehended
at present.
Unconfrmed rumors state that reinforce
ments have been sent to Fort Pickens and
the forts in Texas.
The Virginia Convention has done moth
ing yet said to be waiting the action Of
the Peace Congress.
The Texas Convention has adjourned.
Georgia and Alabama accept the media
ton of Virginia 10 regard to the differences
with the Federal Government.
The Union candidates in Tennessee were
elected by an aggregate majority of prOba-
bly, $4,000, and the question of calling
Convention is defeated by 10000. Very
few secessonists were elected.

A NEW PHASE IN MEXICAN PoLTIcs.-M-
ramon had arrived at New Orleans, accor-
ding to last advices, having for the present
''played out his hand" But the snake is
only scortched, he says-not killed. II is
said thas he has received from certain
quarters, ntimations that men and arms
will very soon be forthcoming for new
conquest Of Mexico on a scale far surprising
anything yet attempted from the American
side; a valient coup de main in which the
new Southern Republic will take the lead
and bear the responsibility, and which will
be manned and Differed by the Knights Of
the Golden Circle. There is something mag
niGcent it must be confessed, in these pro-
jects of invasion, which lack only means
and the worlds favor to insure their sue
cess.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-03-05

Nor REsPEcTED.-A correspondent of the
Alta says the first attempt of vessel to en-.
ter foreign port under the flag of the "Ia-
dependent Republic of South Carolina" was
made at Havana by brigantine from
Charleston. She sailed in past the Moro
Castle with her palmetto" flying aloft.
But Immediately, by order Of the officer in
command of the fortress, she was brought
to anchor under its guns, and kept there
until the flag Of the United States was dis
played at her masthead, when she was per-
mitted to proceed up the harbor. We won
der what they are going to do in Palmetto
dom about this outrage upon their flag in
foreign port. This insult ought to be
avenged forthwith. A newborn national
ity cannot afford to permit its emblematic
ensign to be thus dishonored.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-03-05

THE FOREIGN ELEMENT.-There are in the
United States at this time no lees than g.
0CO,846 foreign born persons. OF this mum.
Der, more than balf immigrated since 1850.
Or The number now alive, 100, 900 die anna.
ally. If the annual immigration be no
more than 100000 per annum, the increase
would amount to 100000 in ten years
while the native increase would be near g.
100000 in the same time. The foreign ele.
ment, therefore, however important, is not
likely to exercise anything like a controll-
ing influence and despite the prejudices
that exist in some minds upon the subject,
the effects have been, and continue to prove
highly salutary.
