counsel the Dimocrisy NV that state, in

way wuz the fact that left Kentucky a

am u citizen NV Kontucky--I hCv bin IN
Moo York politics cnuilto be able to swear
to anything.
At all events | went on to my old State,
and got together caucus Nv the Dimocrat-
| ic members NV the Lcgislachcr to consider
this thing.
The Chairman NV the caucus rcmarkt
that the signs NV the times indikatcd
trouble Kentucky, cf that niger wuZ
admitted TO the SENT, wua virchually dis
! franChisCd, for NV course Davis and Nc
| Crcery Good not remain in their seats be-
side him. No Kentucky gentleman wood
disgrace his proud State by practically
takin to his buzZum male member NV an
inferior racc-uv acknollcgin his equality,
and workin quietly with him. Never

see the States further south inoggcrate

event NV witch, Kentucky, troo To the
yoonyun, cz before, wood preserves u strict
and dignifcd MORTALITY by sellin horses
and provcndcr impartially to both armies,
He hoped the gentlemen wood express
their views freely.
A gentleman from the eastern rart NV
| the State offered the following preamble
| and resOlushen:
VARGAS, Tho SENT of the Yoonted

body niger; aud
lFdr0dS, No Kentucky Dimocrat wood
degrade hisself by sittin beside niger
therefore
ResO, ccd, That Hon. Garrot Davis be in.
structcd to resine to-wunst
The resolootions passed to-wunst, with
out disscntn' voice, and were sent by
telegraph to the Senators at Washington,
after wich ! begged permission to
course no Kentucl<ian Good he
found to take them places made vacant
by the two eminent men who wuz about
| to locve the SENT, but nevertheless Ken
lucky coodcnt afford to go unreprcscntld.
Is there no northern man of Kentucky
| principles who will rush to the front at
| this crisis
Twenty gentlemen sprang to their feet.
The one who got the eye NV the chairman
rcmarllt that Kentucky shood allu2 be rep
resented by KcntuCknns. Davis and Nc
CrCcry Cecrly ought not to stay. They
shood rcsinc to wunst oz protest agin
this outrage, but cf Kontuckiaus wood be
found who wood accept the places they
should be found. Takin EN- ~ they wood
cz necessity, there wouldont he the stig'
ma attahcd to en- that there wood be to
the present incumbcnts cf they shood re-
name, and possibly sich mite be found.
The Chairman doubted whether there

spcck for hisself Er u KentucSian wul
selected it shood be from the membership
NV the Legislacher. He felt that IL wal
the doOty NV some two Nv en- to sacrifice
