Kentucky Legislature.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 1.-THE Legislature assem-
bled in extra session to-day. Gov. Magofin, in his
message, asks the Legislature to express their ap
probation of Crttendens resolutions. He says
eight Estates will have seeded before their debera-
tons close; that Tennessee has referred the whole
subject to her people, and Virginia and North Caro-
lima discussing the propriety of similar course,
and Missouri seems likely to adopt similar policy.
He submits to the Legislature the prorriety of
providing for an election of delegates to Conven-
ton to assemble at an early day to determine the
fortune, interstate and Federal relations Of Ken
lucky. Meanwhile he would leave no experiment
untried to restore fraternal relations between the
States. ---A-
He recommends Convention of the border slave
States, to meet early in February, at Baltimore.
The Governor says the hasty and inconsiderate
action of the sscediug States does not meet our APP
proval, but Kentuckians viii never stand by with
folded arms, while these States are struggling for
their constitutional rights are being subjugated TO
an antlslavery Government. The Governor asks
the Legislature, to declare by resolution, their I'M
conditional dsapprObaton of the employment of
force in form, against the seeding States. He asks
appropriations for arming and equipping volunteer
militia. ~

SPRINGFIELD IIls Jan. l6.-The Democratic Con-
yention met at the State House. at 10 A M. to-day.
Eighty three of the one hundred and two counties
were represented. The Convention was harmoni.
GUS Resolutions were adopted, almost unanimously
which declare that it Is the duty of patriotism and
the dictates of wisdom to make earnest efforts to
the Union by concession and Cancellation; there
fore, in a spirit of compromise, we are willing TO
accept the amendments to the Constitution proposed
in the United States Senate by Senators Douglas or
Crittenden or the Border States proposition, any
other whereby harmony may be krestoFed between
the people of the different sections.
We deny the constitutional right of any State TO
secede from the Union, and we are equally opposed
to the notification at the North and secession at the
South as being State of revolution That the en-
ploymeut of military force by the Federal govern
ment to into submission the seeding States,
will, we think plunge the country in civil war and
entirely exhnguish all hope of a settlement of the
fearful issues now pending before the country. We
therefore earnestly entreat the Federal Gov
eminent ard seeding States to withhold
from the use of military power, and under no pre-
text whatever bring this nation into the horrors of
civil war Until the people can take such action
the troubles demand we recognize and declare it to
be the duty of the Federal Government, through
the civil authorities within the jurisdiction of the
States to enforce all laws passed IN pursuance Of the
Constitution but distinctly deny that the Federal
Government has constitutional power to call out the
military and execute these Laws except in aid of the
civil authorities. We recommend the repeal of the
Personal Liberty Bills. We also recommend that
convention be held at Louisville the 18th day of
February, to take into consideration the present
perlous state of the country and recommend to the
people such Just concessions and such amendments
to the Constitution as will produce harmony and
fraternal feeling throughout the Union. The said
Committee to consist of delegate from each Con-
gressional District and two at large from each of
the thrty-three States and request that the Legsa
ture of the several States take steps for conven-
ton of the States for the purpose aforesaid.
