Kentucky Legislature.

H. .
No final action has yet been reached IN
regard to our Federal affairs. The Com
mittee on Federal Relations have not yet
reported, being incumbered with many
series of resolutions, presenting great diver
sity of views. We take the following in
teresting paragraphs from the Frankfort
corr espondence of the Cincinnati Gazette, as
suggestive OF grave and serious matters yet
to be dealt with: ,o5 So s.t.lI9 znk .a.eaa
Mr.. DeHaveal also offered a resolution,
which was referred to the proper COMMITTEES,
that the Committee on Military Affairs be
instructed to enquire into the expectancy
of raising and organizing aiStates force,- to
be und err the control of the Governor. and
be used in the execution ofthe laws OF Ken
lucky and for the protection, of the persons
and property of it's citizens, and that they
report, by bill or otherwise @ bees sTs
1t is not impro bable that this subject
will excite consid erable debate, forit involves
principle of the gravest Importance at this
time. 1t suggests a condition OF affairs
wherein the Executive of the State might
come in collision with the Executive OF the
Nation, and therefore the proposition is to
be regarded witty no ordinary degree of in
terest. ..fa.-rr - 49, -"
The committees on Federal Relations
have made little or no progress with their
report, but it is pretty generally understood,
! as have already indicated, what the State
will do. The delay of the reports has not
been through carelesspess on the part OF
the committees; but little causes of differ
ence have arisen from time to time and I'M
til these were made clear. and a perfect har-
monv existed, it was deemed proper to de-
| Law the reports. g..a ..r.a
| The constant stream Of rebel resolutions
which has been poured upon the Committee
on Federal Relations from the disordered
brains of the rebel sympathizing members
of the Legislature, owe their origin 30 Gov
ernor Robinson's Message. From that
dacun ent th Q copperheads took their Gu e.
/ Had the semi-i6iotic ,McGoffin issued such
paper at such time the loyal people
would have rejected it with scorn, but Gov
Robinson coming from the ranks of the Un-
ion party to assail the President and the
! Government, furnished motive for every
lesser public man to express the i'll conceal ed
treason ranking like poison in his heart.
1t is question whether Governor Robin
son is fully aware of the vast amount o
mischief his message has created, aud
augur the worst from it because the best
minds in the Legislature disapprove. and de-
nounce it. The most truly sincere friends
Of theIGovernment hero are decidedly OPP
posed to Governor Robinson's message, while
all tine Copperhe ads not only take every oc-
casiou to APPROPRIATE it, bnt use it as a tex
on which to preach treason. If it were TO
no other eason than this, Governor Robin
sons message should be regard ed to say tb,
least, with suspicion and doubt. . .. ...

Political.

1t will be seen esewhere in these col
umns. that Democratic meeting has been
held in Frankfort, with view to organiza-
ton for the election of members of Con-
gress, Governor, and Legislature. There
are rumors ahoat, but we know not how
well founded, that the Democrats expect to
run Senator POWELL for Governor, and Hon.
R. 81. STANTON, of Maysville for 1t. Gov
ernor-a very strong team. On the oppo-
site side. it is said, that our townsmau,
Harrison Taylor, Esq. is preferred at Frank
fort for Governor, and that Martin P. Mar
shall, the Senator from Mason, is to be theiI
candidate for Congress TO succeed Mr.
Wadsworth. We und erstand that strong
wish prevails among the Democrats Of
Fleming to run Hon. LKANDER M. Cox as
their candidate for Congress.

Signs of Peace.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. %, 1868.

To the Editor of Cincinnati Enquirer:
Knowing you to be sincerely DESTROYS oil
restoration of the old relations between
the North and the South, of restored I'm
ion and areunited people, l write you to say
that there is good prospect of such con-
summation. The very air is murmuring
peace. Leading Abolitionists, men of in
| fuence, character and standing. are at work
to bring about restoration on the old basis.
They are willing to give up their Abolition
ism forever, provided the Union-the old
Union-can be restored. 1 speak what l
know. 1t will be accomplish through the
mediation of the French Emperor. This
course is deemed necessary to satisfy the
pride of the two sections. A mutual friend
will bring them together, and his recon-
mendation will be aquiesced in by both
sides. This arrangement has been going on
for some time, aud the foremost men in it
are, as L said before, leading Abolitiouists
who are ready to give up their slavery agi-
tation. -.- r. ....-- ..... an. -
That the South expects and looks for this
friendly adjustment, can be seen from the
tone of the army correspond ence of the
Richmond Enquirer. which is jeff Davis
organ. One of these, writing two or three
days ago from the Rappahannock, says:
1.-THE pickets on either bank are so uuwar-
IKE, and yet so near to each other, that one
cannot help feeling that this truce is but the
precursor of that peace which will restore
prosperity to both sections, whilst it gives
security and honorable terms of adjustment
to each. The ballot-boX, aud not the cart
ridge box, must, and will be the arbiter of
this strife-and my prediction is, that the
end is not affair."" The drift of the whole let
teri have given but single paragraph
goes to show his belief in speedy restora-
ton of the old relations, under the old IN
ion. Let US take renewed courage. and be
ready to pport therestoration. The names
of the leading Abolitionists who are, and
have been for some time actively engaged in
this good work, would surprise you. =. ze.
War matters are quiet just now, and
think are likely to remain so. The history
OF the late movements on the Rappahanrock
has not half been written, and cannot with
safety be written now. 1t contains some
very singular chapters. The army there is
utterly demoralized, and will, I think, I'M
less peace shall be made by April, be sent
South and West, and its place supplied from
the West.

CONGRESS.

In the House. great struggle was made
over Stevens negro bill, one whole night
being spent in the wrangIe. The bill finally
passed, only 15 votes being cast against it
1t authorizes establishment of any numb oil
negroes, not exceeding 100000, exempting
slaves of loyal masters in States not en-
braced in the Emancipation edict, and for
bidding the issue of commissions to colored
men-pay 80 month, with rations and
equipments. The bill has yet to go through
the Senate. where it will encounter heavy
opposition. In the Senate, much excite
ment occurred in the debates on the bill In
relation to arbitrary executive and military
arrests. For the rest, the proceedings were
the usual routine, finance and negroes being
the chief subjects of consideration, includ-
ing proposition to bride Missouri to eman-
cipate her slaves with dose of 100000
Federal bonds. This is, we presume, but
the precursor of an offer of probably $780,
COO 900 to Kentucky, with the same object;
but which, We trust, will be spurned, by our
STATE as Jesus spurned the DEVILS offer to
Him of Kingdoms to which his Satanic ma
iesty held no title.

IHE BANGOR (ME.) DEMooRAT.-The
publication of this reliable dem ocratic paper
has again been resumed by it former editor,
Aareellus Emery. The Office of the Dem
OcrGt was destroyed by mob on the 18th
Of August, 1861, simply because the editor
would not unite in the wild cry of war and
determination against the South. He chose
rather ban succumb to threats or degrade
the dignity of journalism, to see his property
destroyed and his business suspended. We
trust that the friends of free press will
grant liberal support to his able and ex-
esllsnt paper.

A NOBLE SPEECH FROM UNION DEMO

Convention for Secretary of State. Col
Fairchild, Of the iron brigade, was former
ly citizen of Ohio. He has led the old %
Wisconsin through many a storm of shot
and shell, and, in the struggle at Gettys-
burg, lost an arm. In accepting the nom

sonable that this should be the case in the
army, as no man who has been in earnest
can stultify and give the lie to every act OF
two years OF the best and most glorious
part ofhis life-the two years which many
of the regiments have been fighting Tor
their country--by voting any other ticket
than the one nominated on the l7th OF
June. If we should admit that the Con

CaslcUSeS,

The Hudson Times makes the follow
ing appropriate remarks in regard to
caucuses There is in nearly every
community habit of neglecting 10 at
tend primary political meetings, and the
very word "caucus" has come to be al
most a synonym for intrigue and corrup-
ton. The bad odor that .clings TO eau
cusses, is in great measure the fault OF
those VINO neglect 10 attend them. If il
IS duty for men of all stations to take
an interest in the government under
which they lhe--if it is duty togo to
the polls at all--if citizenship imposes
any obligations-then the duty and obi
cations of attending caucus, and using
ones influence to place proper candidates
in nomination, is no less binding and i'm
peratiye than the duty of voting for can
ddates after they are nominated.
