GOV. BnAMLETTE, OF KY.
The message Of Gov. Bram1ctte, of Ken
tucky, gircs great satisfaction here. 1t will
be remembered that the 9eymourites Of New
York at one time hoped that Gov. B. would
be their ally. In this they were mistaken,
and most bitterly have they been disappoint-
ed. - learn that the Governor -was- ap-.
preached upon the subject Of giving certin-
Gates Of election, to the lately elected mem
bers Of Congress-, The Copperheads charged
that the election had been controlled by the
Administration, and that certificates ought
not to be given On that account Gov. Bram-
lctte, Tam happy to write, refused to lend
himself to- anything Of this character, and
emphatically stated to leading Union men,
that be intended from. the first to give the
members such certificates as he Thought
would cover the; act of Congress In. every
respect Notwithstanding this, Ethclidge &
Co., refused to put the members from Ken
tucky upon the roll Of the House. They had
an idea that If the members were not admit~
tied On the certificates held BY them; that the
Governor would refuse to give them any
other In this am also informed they
would have been disappointed. Every thing

a sygtem Of bare-fsced fraud, which has no
parallel in the history Of the country:
