The following, from the Washington Cor,
respondent of the Tribune, affords an insight
into Kentucky politics, which at this time is
interesting. If Gov Bramlette and the Lou
isviIls Journal are guilty of what is herein
charged, th ere will probably be trouble in
Kentucky sometime when it is least desirable.
THR REsisTASoE TO THE DRAFT OF SLAVES IN
KENTUCKY
The organised denial by Gov. Bramlette
and friends, Of the truth Of the Tribune's
Washington telegram, that the Governor hao
prepared q proclamation calling upon Ken
lucky TO resist the draft Of her slaves induces
US to return 10 the topic, and to state posi-:
lively and more at large that, among the evil
licences of reasonable purpose consplred
between the Governor Of that State aud the
Louisyille factionists, are;
IL. The fact that Gov Bramlette sat upon
the platform at Lexington, and gave his oh-
cial eountenAnce TO ths traitorous speech of
Wolford, in which he eulogihed "the Buck
ners, the Morgsns, the Stephenses of Ken
tueky and of the South denounced Presi
debt Lincoln as "a tyrant and usurper, and
moaned over "the desolation and misery this
war was bringing on the women and children
D of the South"
IL The fact that the Provost Marshal of
Boyle county, while engaged in enrolling the
negroes ia his district, received dispatch by
telegraph from Gov. Bramlette, nearly if not
literally in these words: II have dispatched
the President and have demanded that this
business Of enrolling and drafting Of negroes
in Kentpcky must be stopped, and II he don't
stop il, I will
III. The facts that Gov. BrAmlette, after
an interview with Shipman, OF the Louisville
Journal. wrote proclamation TO the people
Of Kentucky, and sent it for publication to
the Office Of the Commonwealth newspaper,
and that il was there put in type, and proofs
of il taken--that that proclamation (l) in its
opening and throughout was grossly abusive
Of and hostile TO Mr.. Lincoln's administration.
(2) That il unhesitatingly eounseed resist
Snce to the enrolment OF negroes and spec
fed how this could be done; stating first tina;
the owners Of slaves could refuse to give il
their names, ages, &c; second, that il meani
were resorted TO to compel them to furnish
the negroes Names &c, they could appeal t
the courts and to him as Governor, (3) Tha
il pledged the people of Kentucky, that i
fhev could take this course, he could sustain
