Gov. King-The First District.
Gov. King. the chosen chief of the
First District, did himself great honor in
the trying contest for the goyernorship,
but the "Old First was completely
| ignored-"doomed to slaughter Gov.
Kings brief speech when placed in nomi
nation for Lieut.. Governor. is an immor
tai honor to his head and heart.

have but few words to say. The old
guard of Napoleon never followed his
fortunes with purer devotion from the
time Napoleon's campaign opened until
he entered the field of Waterloo than the
lion hearted Democracy of Lynn Boyd
district has followed the Democratic BAN
ner. She came up to her support in solid
column; not because of any individual
merit of your humble servant, but be
cause she, with the long conflicts in
the past years, had won for her the right
to expect from the Democratic party at
least one voice in the third of century;
but we have fought good fight; we have
kept the faith, but we fell with our back
and, although we have never received
anything. we will extend to you an open
hand and cordial frienship in electing
him and every gentleman who shall
be nominated by this convention. Ap-
plause.1 / have known that gentleman
(Leslie) for more than twenty five years
He is pure; he is incorruptible; be is a
Christian gentleman, and will make a
good Executives mau of far more
ability than your humble servant. There
are gentlemen in my Congressional dis
trict who look forward to the nomination
| for Lieutenant Governor, and, as L dis
| like to come in conflict with them, and
for harmony's sake, l withdraw my
name. Applause.
After all the nominations had been
made, and the claims of the First District
ignored the inimitable J. w. Singleton,
of McCracken wrote the following reso-
luton, which, however; by advice, was
not offered:
Resolved, By the Democratic party of
Kentucky in convention assembled, that
all official claims of the counties compos

hereafter referred to the Committee on
Widows and Orphans, without debate.
The delegates from the Purchase
counties were favorably impressed with
the manner in which the counties above
the Tennessee stood by them, and in fu
ture shall cherish the tie that binds US as
brothers. Such men s Judge Bennett,
Mr. Blue, Fent Simms, and last though
not least, the Hon. Willis B. Machen.
There is no man in this State whose
services the Democracy are more anxious
to secure than those of Hon. Willis b.
Machen. He is a patriotic statesman,
far above the tricks and arts of the mere
politician, and in addition to his sterling
patriotism and great personal worth, he
possesses ability of the very first order"

The two houses, second session, Forty
second Congress- will reassemble in the
national Capitol on Monday week, tho first
Monday in December. Elsewhere In these
nctu4nns We give list of the members Of both
houses and their pas.y classifcations for the
general Information of our readers. This
will be what is familiarly known a. the long

midsummer; for we expect in the Presidents

Rracing . reduction Of our internal and
4xternal national taxes, which will be sub
ttantially adopted by Congress, but which In
fheir discussion will occury the two houses

Beyond some reductions in our internal reve-
Hue and tariff assessments and the passage Of the
Regular appropriation bills we do not expect
&uch from this session; but the reductions sug-
kested In our schedules of taxation are expected
GENERALLY by the country, and cannot safely be
&enied. To insist upon saddiug the present
generation, which has borne so much. with
ths payment Of the national debt, will be .
blunder which we cannot believe will be COM
taitted by this Congress on the eve Of ;
Presidential election. We therefore expect
chat Congress, consulting the wishes Of
ehe people, will seek rather to tighten
9heir taxes than to indulge Mr.. Boutwell, In
Ais fallacy of hurrying up the payment Of the
