FRANKFORT, kr., Feb. q, 1863.
The House Of Representatives has passed
tle resolutions Of the Committee on Federal
Relations, amended so as to inclnIc less dis
loyal paragraphs.
The resolutions protest against the rresi-
dents Proclamation, and abuse him for start
ling usurration of power III the suspension Of
the writ Of Eabcas corpus; hail with delight
the manifestation Of a conservative sentiment
in the people Of the mons -slayeholding States.
They express adherence to the Constitution
and the Union. and advocate national and
Mississippi Valley Convention. There Is not
Il word about prosecuting the war to main
tain the Government; not word abont vot'
Jug men or means, but only reassertion Of
the loyalty Of Kentucky.
The Senate rejected Mr. Rhea's bill Of in
dietn,ent against tho President, only se7en
out Of cishty-two voting for it. The House
resolutions were substituted for Mr. Pratt's
report and adopted, with the exception Of the
one calling for Mississippi Convention,
which WAS lost. The House took the matter
NJ again and fil1ibustered until after midnight
