Mr. JACOB, from a majority of the com- mittee on Federal Relations, reported the following joint resolutions, viz: Resolved by the General Assembly of the Com- monwealth of Kentucky, That the people of Kentucky view, with the most lively appre- hension, the dangers that now environ the Union and threaten its perpetuity. Resolved, That as Kentuckians, standing in the center of this confederacv, and re garding the "Union a9 the palladium of our liberties," we will use every honorable exer- tion, and exhaust all measures, which have a tendency to preserve the work of our fa- thers, Resolved, That the proper position of Ken- tucky is that of a mediator between the sec- tions, and that, as an umpire, she should re- main firm and impartial in this day of trial to our beloved country; that by her counsels and mediation she may aid in restoring peace and harmony and brotherly love throughout the entire land. Resolved, That in this spirit we appeal to our northern brethren, that wherever consti- tutional laws, enactments, and compromises made for the benefit of our southern breth- ren have been nullified, they see that the wrong is righted, and the laws executed. Resolved, That we appeal to our southern brethren to stay the work of revolution to return and make one mighty effort to per- petuate the noble work of our forefathers, hallowed by the recollections of a thousand noble deeds. Resolved, That we protest against the use of force or coercion by the General Govern- ment against the seceding States as unwise and inexpedient, and tending to the destruc- tion of our common country. Resolved, That we have" witnessed with profound regret the triumph of a sectional . party in the northern States, regarding the same as calculated to produce jealousies heart-burning- and sectional estrange- ments, and, if persevered in, the destruction of our Union. Resolved, That in a spirit of compromise and conciliation, we propose the propositions known as the Crittenden amendments, as the basis of amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and that we request the constituted authorities of each State to take the "sense of the people" of their respect- ive States upon the same, and that we re- quest the Legislatures of the States to join in application to Congress to call a national convention to amend the Constitution, wherever experience proves it necessary. Rsolved, "That Commissioners be ap- pointed upon joint ballot of the Senate and Uou-- of Representative?, to wait upon th p Governors of tlia respective States, end lay the fore2,oinr propositions before them. 's Resolved, That whenever tho Raid com- - missioners shall find the adoption of the above propositions, after a diligent and earn- - est effort to have them adopted by tho re- - sportive States, impracticable, it shall bo their duty to report the same to our Govern Resolved. That whenever such commis- - sioners so report, it shall be the duty of the (jovernor to call me uenerai .issemuiy to- gether to consider what the interests of Ken- tucky shall require: Provided, That said call shall not require their assemblage before the May, 1801. Mr. IlODGE, from the minority of said committee, made the following report, as a substitute for the report of the minority, viz : The undersigned, members of the com- mittee on Federal Relations, not having been to concur in the views of the majority embodied in their report, beg leave to pre- sent briefly the reasons by which they have been governed : First The controlling idea with the ma- jority is, that as a mediator, Kentucky stands impartial between the North and South, and still occupy that attitude. We hold that Kentucky, being a member of the Union pon which aggressions ot a verv serious character have been made for years past by States North of the Ohio river, cannot occupy the attitude of an ''impartial media- tor." without first sacrificing her institutions, placing herself in independence of both sections of the Union. This we think she not prepared to do. Second. The terms of conciliation adopt- ed by the committee have already been presented to the North by this body in what known as the Simpson resolutions, and also in response to the Virginia Legislature; and we conceive that to again call upon them do the thing, and no more, thus presented, to say the least, very obtrusive and hu- miliating. The majority of the committee regret the election of Abraham Lincoln, and protest against force by the General Government against the southern States. The sense of this House has already been very clearly ex- pressed upon the policy of coercion, and the regret of Lincoln's election needs not to be expressed again by this House. The committee propose that Commission- ers be appointed to each of the States, to ask their in measures of pacification ; and upon the failure of their mission, that they shall report that fact to the Governor of this State, who shall ac.tin convene this Leg islature to consider as to the propriety of calling a Convention. We conceive the whole policy in this to be delay, and expensive at that: and so be- lieving, are unwilling to be instrumental therein. Having thus briefly noticed the policy of the majority of the committee, we beg leave to present the following resolutions a substitute tor those submitted by the majority believing that they present much more promising, results than those we op- posed. All of us uniting in this protest against the majority report, but each of us reserving the right to present his own views. GEORGE B. HODGE, Clin. W. B. MACHEN, JOHN M. RICE. Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commoriictalth of Kentvcly, That it is titling that we should meet with firmness and mod- eration the grave questions that agitate the country, and should deliberate calmly and without passion upon the momentous issues that now press upon us, and which involve the preservation or dismemberment of an empire and the destinies of millions of free- men. Resolved, That we regard the Union of the States under the Constitution, as the surest safeguard and strongest bulwark of regulat- ed liberty ever devised by man, and cherish as associated with all our historic glories the past, and our brightest hopes in the future; and if it shall be perpetuated upon the principles on which it was founded, w e believe it destined to be the fruitful and source of boundless blessings and benefits to every member of the Confederacy in all time to come. We therefore deem it the patriotic duty of Kentucky to cling to the Union so long as there may remain a reasonable hope of its preservation or recon- struction upon principles of justice and equality, and consistently with the rights and the satety of the citizens ot the several States. Resolved, That we appeal by every memo- ry of the common love and Iraternal affec- tion of the past, by every emotion of patriot- ism which can animate the breast? of free men now, and by every hope of our future welfare as a great and prosperous people, to our fellow-citizen- s of the southern States to suspend any and every action tending to fur- - thersecession upon the part of any btatefrom the Federal Union; and Resolved, That while we thus appeal to the conservative sentiment of our fellow-citizen- s of the South, we deprecate and protest against the exercise of force or- coercion upon the part of the Federal Government against nnv of the States or the citizens thereof who have seceded from the Union, and we invoke upon the part of the Federal Government a spirit of forbearance, moderation, and conciliation, convinced, as we are, that a union founded upon, and preserved by violence and force, is not only impossible but undesirable. Resolved, lliat we propose the system ol measures known astheCrittcnden resolutions as the basis of amend ments to the Constitution of the United States, and that we request the proper authorities of all the States which have not seceded from the L mon, to take the prop er steps at as early a day as practicable to take the sense of the people ot the respect- ive States upon the same, and that, we request the .Legislatures ol the Mates remaining in the Union to unite in an application to the Congress of the United States to call a con- vention for proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States; be it fur ther Resolved, That commissioners be appointed on joint ballot of the Senate and Iliuse of Representatives, to wait upon the Governors of the respective States and lay the forego ing propositions before them. Resolved further, That if, on or before the the first day of May, JbOl, two-third- s of tiie Legislatures of the respective States have not joined in a call upon Congress to assemble a convention to provide for amendments to the Constitution ot the united States, or shall not have taken steps to ascertain the sense of the people of their States upon the amend- ments to the Constitution suggested bv this bodv, then the Governor of tiiis Common wealth is authorized and empowered to issue his proclamation, calling upon the legal vot- ers ot Kentucky to assemble in their respect ive precincts, and cast their votes upon the following proposition and question: Shall there be a convention of delegates from the people? And if a majority of nil the votes cast shall be for a convention, then the Gov- ernor shall issue his proclamation author- izing and fixing a day for election of delegates to a convention, to assemble at such time a? ia affixed in said proclamation ; and the per- sons having the highest number of votes shall to said convention; and the said convention of delegates shall be to take such action in regard to the position of Kentucky as her interests seem to require; but their action shall not be valid and binding unless su'omitied to the people of Kentucky, and approved by a minority of the legal votcis voting thereupon. TIie bnsis of representation sLr 1 be the same as is af- fixed for representation in the lower house of the General Assembly by the apportion ment bill passed at the session of 1859-C- O. Mr. MACHEN, from a minority of said committee, reported the resolutions hereto- fore offered by him, and published in the Commonwealth of the 23d. Mr. FINN, from a minority of said com- mittee, reported the following resolutions, viz : WiiEr.EAS, The General Assembly of fhe Commonwealth of Kentucky have, by joint resolutions of the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives, applied to the Congress of the United States to call a convention for pro- posing amendments to the Constitution of the United States, and request all the States to make similar application to Congress; and whereas, this General Assembly confi- dently believe the Union of of these States can and will be perpetuated if the Constitu- tion of the United States shall be so amended as to settle, upon just and equitable terms to all sections of this Confederacy, the various propositions embraced in' what is known as the "Crittenden ' compromise or ' amend- ments to the Constitution of the United States; " which are as follows: We have published theCrittemlen amendments several times, and omit them here. and iiEUE.is, it is just ana proper in times perilous to the Union and dangerous to liberty, toconsult the people of the United States as to w hat changes should be made in the Federal compact; therefore, be it Resolved by the Gen.-ra- l AmiMy of the Cvmmonu ou'ih nf Kentucky, That said amend- ments be submitted to a vote of the people of Kentucky, on the day of , 1S6I. and the Governor of this Commonwealth is hereby authorized and directed to issue his proclamation, calling upon the legal voters of Kentucky to assemble in their respective voting precincts on said day, and cast their votes for or against said Crittenden amend ments to the Constitution of the United States; and when the official vote of said election shall be received at the office ofSec- - etary of State, the Governor is directed to transmit the result of said vote for and against said amendments to the President of the United States, with a request that he com municate the same fo Congress. Resolved. That the foregoing resolution, preamble, Ac, be by the Governor of this State transmitted to the Governors of the other thirty-tw- o States of this Union, with a request that said preamble, resolution, A'e., be forthwith presented to the Legislatures of anl states, with the request of this Legisla- ture that said States join this State in the application to Congress for a call of a conven tion, for proposing amendments to the Consti- tution of the United States : and also. Unit said States respectively submit said Crittenden amendments, or like amendments, to a vote of the people of their respective States, on the day of , 1 Sol, or as soon thereafter as the sense of the people can be had on said amendments to the Constitution, with a re- - quest that said Legislatures direct the Gov- ernors of their respective States to transmit the vote on said amendments to the Presi- dent of the United States, with a request that the same be presented to Congress. Resolved, That in transmitting the forego- ing propositions and requests to the States of this Union, the Governor of this State be directed to request of the Governors of the other States to communicate to him, at as early a day as possible, what action has been had by the Legislatures of their' States, respectively, on the foregoing propositions and requests from this State. Resolved, That if the popular expression of opinion of the people of the United States, upon the Crittenden amendments, shall not induce two-third- s of both house? of Congress to propose said amendments, or like amend- ments to the'onstitution : or two-third- s of the States shall not join Kentucky in the application of Congress to call a convention of the United States, to propose amendments to said Constitution, then Kentucky proposes to meet the States, that, by a vote of their people on said Critrenden amendments, or like amendments, indicate their willingness for the Constitution of the United States to be thus amended, in convention, at the city of Louisville, on the day of , 1SG1, for the purposed' consulting as to what shall be the future action of said States; the ratio of representation in said convention to be the same said States have in both houses of Congress that is, two from theState.and one from each Congressional district; that the representatives to said convention from the State of Kentucky shall be chosen in the same manner as the Senators and Represen- tatives in the two houses of Congress are now chosen : that when said convention shall have concluded its deliberations, the repre- sentatives from this State shall report to the Legislature of this State its action, and, in the opinion of the delegates, what should be the future action of Kentucky; the Legisla- ture of this State to provide, by law, the com- pensation to be paid her representatives in said convention; that while these efforts are being made to preserve the Union and per- petuate liberty, we appeal to the conserva- tive sentiment of the country everywhere, North and South; we invoke a spirit of mu- tual forbearance; we protest against the ex- ercise of force or coercion on the part of the Federal Government against any of theStates who have declared, by ordinances of that, they are no longer a part of the Federal Union; and we invoke upon the part of the Federal Government and upon the part of the people of the seceding States, a spirit of forbearance, moderation, and con- ciliation, convinced, as we are, that a Union of force and coercion, held together by the sword or standing armies, is not the Union of our fathers, and that such a Union is not worth preserving. Resolved, That this Legislature regards it improper, at this time, to call, or take initia- tory steps to the call of a State convention, to take into consideration the propriety of the State of Kentucky going out ot the i eder-a- l Union, and that such steps should not be taken until the hope of a satisfactory adjust- ment of the conflicting elements that now endanger the peace, the liberty, the pepetu-it- y of the institutions of this State, and the permanence of our government, shall be des- troyed by the action of the people and the Federal Government, by refusing the propo- sitions and requests herein made, and no sat- isfactory results shall be attained by the Convention at Louisville. Mr. LANNOM moved that said reports be made the special order for half past 10 o'clock and referred to a commit- tee of the whole. The Speaker laid before the House a com- munication from Gen. W'ni.

Mr. JACOB, from a majority of the com-mittee on Federal Relations, reported thefollowing joint resolutions, viz:

Resolved by the General Assembly of the Com-monwealth of Kentucky, That the people ofKentucky view, with the most lively appre-hension, the dangers that now environ theUnion and threaten its perpetuity.

Resolved, That as Kentuckians, standingin the center of this confederacv, and regarding the "Union a9 the palladium of ourliberties," we will use every honorable exer-tion, and exhaust all measures, which havea tendency to preserve the work of our fa-

thers,Resolved, That the proper position of Ken-

tucky is that of a mediator between the sec-

tions, and that, as an umpire, she should re-

main firm and impartial in this day of trialto our beloved country; that by her counselsand mediation she may aid in restoringpeace and harmony and brotherly lovethroughout the entire land.

Resolved, That in this spirit we appeal toour northern brethren, that wherever consti-tutional laws, enactments, and compromisesmade for the benefit of our southern breth-ren have been nullified, they see that thewrong is righted, and the laws executed.

Resolved, That we appeal to our southernbrethren to stay the work of revolution toreturn and make one mighty effort to per-petuate the noble work of our forefathers,hallowed by the recollections of a thousandnoble deeds.

Resolved, That we protest against the useof force or coercion by the General Govern-ment against the seceding States as unwiseand inexpedient, and tending to the destruc-tion of our common country.

Resolved, That we have" witnessed withprofound regret the triumph of a sectional .

party in the northern States, regarding thesame as calculated to produce jealousiesheart-burning- and sectional estrange-ments, and, if persevered in, the destructionof our Union.

Resolved, That in a spirit of compromiseand conciliation, we propose the propositionsknown as the Crittenden amendments, asthe basis of amendments to the Constitutionof the United States, and that we request theconstituted authorities of each State to takethe "sense of the people" of their respect-ive States upon the same, and that we re-

quest the Legislatures of the States to joinin application to Congress to call a nationalconvention to amend the Constitution,wherever experience proves it necessary.

Rsolved, "That Commissioners be ap-pointed upon joint ballot of the Senate andUou-- of Representative?, to wait upon th

p

Governors of tlia respective States, end laythe fore2,oinr propositions before them. 's

Resolved, That whenever tho Raid com--

missioners shall find the adoption of theabove propositions, after a diligent and earn- -

est effort to have them adopted by tho re- -

sportive States, impracticable, it shall bo

their duty to report the same to our Govern

Resolved. That whenever such commis- -

sioners so report, it shall be the duty of the(jovernor to call me uenerai .issemuiy to-

gether to consider what the interests of Ken-

tucky shall require: Provided, That said callshall not require their assemblage before the

May, 1801.Mr. IlODGE, from the minority of said

committee, made the following report, as asubstitute for the report of the minority, viz :

The undersigned, members of the com-

mittee on Federal Relations, not having beento concur in the views of the majority

embodied in their report, beg leave to pre-

sent briefly the reasons by which they havebeen governed :

First The controlling idea with the ma-jority is, that as a mediator, Kentucky standsimpartial between the North and South, and

still occupy that attitude. We holdthat Kentucky, being a member of the Union

pon which aggressions ot a verv seriouscharacter have been made for years past by

States North of the Ohio river, cannotoccupy the attitude of an ''impartial media-tor." without first sacrificing her institutions,

placing herself in independence of bothsections of the Union. This we think she

not prepared to do.Second. The terms of conciliation adopt-

ed by the committee have already beenpresented to the North by this body in what

known as the Simpson resolutions, andalso in response to the Virginia Legislature;and we conceive that to again call upon them

do the thing, and no more, thus presented,to say the least, very obtrusive and hu-

miliating.The majority of the committee regret the

election of Abraham Lincoln, and protestagainst force by the General Governmentagainst the southern States. The sense ofthis House has already been very clearly ex-

pressed upon the policy of coercion, and theregret of Lincoln's election needs not to beexpressed again by this House.

The committee propose that Commission-ers be appointed to each of the States, to asktheir in measures of pacification ;

and upon the failure of their mission, thatthey shall report that fact to the Governor ofthis State, who shall ac.tin convene this Legislature to consider as to the propriety ofcalling a Convention.

We conceive the whole policy in this to bedelay, and expensive at that: and so be-

lieving, are unwilling to be instrumentaltherein. Having thus briefly noticed thepolicy of the majority of the committee, webeg leave to present the following resolutions

a substitute tor those submitted by themajority believing that they present muchmore promising, results than those we op-

posed. All of us uniting in this protestagainst the majority report, but each of usreserving the right to present his own views.

GEORGE B. HODGE, Clin.W. B. MACHEN,JOHN M. RICE.

Resolved by the General Assembly of theCommoriictalth of Kentvcly, That it is titlingthat we should meet with firmness and mod-eration the grave questions that agitate thecountry, and should deliberate calmly andwithout passion upon the momentous issuesthat now press upon us, and which involvethe preservation or dismemberment of anempire and the destinies of millions of free-

men.Resolved, That we regard the Union of the

States under the Constitution, as the surestsafeguard and strongest bulwark of regulat-ed liberty ever devised by man, and cherish

as associated with all our historic gloriesthe past, and our brightest hopes in the

future; and if it shall be perpetuated uponthe principles on which it was founded, w e

believe it destined to be the fruitful andsource of boundless blessings and

benefits to every member of the Confederacyin all time to come. We therefore deem itthe patriotic duty of Kentucky to cling tothe Union so long as there may remain areasonable hope of its preservation or recon-struction upon principles of justice andequality, and consistently with the rightsand the satety of the citizens ot the severalStates.

Resolved, That we appeal by every memo-ry of the common love and Iraternal affec-tion of the past, by every emotion of patriot-ism which can animate the breast? of freemen now, and by every hope of our futurewelfare as a great and prosperous people, toour fellow-citizen- s of the southern States tosuspend any and every action tending to fur- -

thersecession upon the part of any btatefromthe Federal Union; and

Resolved, That while we thus appeal to theconservative sentiment of our fellow-citizen- s

of the South, we deprecate and protest againstthe exercise of force or- coercion upon thepart of the Federal Government against nnvof the States or the citizens thereof who haveseceded from the Union, and we invoke uponthe part of the Federal Government a spiritof forbearance, moderation, and conciliation,convinced, as we are, that a union foundedupon, and preserved by violence and force,is not only impossible but undesirable.

Resolved, lliat we propose the system olmeasures known astheCrittcnden resolutionsas the basis of amend ments to the Constitutionof the United States, and that we request theproper authorities of all the States which havenot seceded from the L mon, to take the proper steps at as early a day as practicable totake the sense of the people ot the respect-ive States upon the same, and that, we requestthe .Legislatures ol the Mates remaining inthe Union to unite in an application to theCongress of the United States to call a con-

vention for proposing amendments to theConstitution of the United States; be it further

Resolved, That commissioners be appointedon joint ballot of the Senate and Iliuse ofRepresentatives, to wait upon the Governorsof the respective States and lay the foregoing propositions before them.

Resolved further, That if, on or before thethe first day of May, JbOl, two-third- s of tiieLegislatures of the respective States have notjoined in a call upon Congress to assemble aconvention to provide for amendments to theConstitution ot the united States, or shallnot have taken steps to ascertain the senseof the people of their States upon the amend-ments to the Constitution suggested bv thisbodv, then the Governor of tiiis Commonwealth is authorized and empowered to issuehis proclamation, calling upon the legal vot-ers ot Kentucky to assemble in their respective precincts, and cast their votes upon thefollowing proposition and question: Shallthere be a convention of delegates from thepeople? And if a majority of nil the votescast shall be for a convention, then the Gov-ernor shall issue his proclamation author-izing and fixing a day for election of delegatesto a convention, to assemble at such time a?

ia affixed in said proclamation ; and the per-

sons having the highest number of votesshall to said convention; andthe said convention of delegates shall be

to take such action in regard to theposition of Kentucky as her interests seemto require; but their action shall not be validand binding unless su'omitied to the peopleof Kentucky, and approved by a minority ofthe legal votcis voting thereupon. TIie bnsisof representation sLr 1 be the same as is af-

fixed for representation in the lower houseof the General Assembly by the apportionment bill passed at the session of 1859-C- O.

Mr. MACHEN, from a minority of saidcommittee, reported the resolutions hereto-fore offered by him, and published in theCommonwealth of the 23d.

Mr. FINN, from a minority of said com-

mittee, reported the following resolutions,viz :

WiiEr.EAS, The General Assembly of fheCommonwealth of Kentucky have, by jointresolutions of the Senate and House of Rep-resentatives, applied to the Congress of theUnited States to call a convention for pro-

posing amendments to the Constitution ofthe United States, and request all the Statesto make similar application to Congress;and whereas, this General Assembly confi-dently believe the Union of of these Statescan and will be perpetuated if the Constitu-tion of the United States shall be so amendedas to settle, upon just and equitable terms toall sections of this Confederacy, the variouspropositions embraced in' what is known asthe "Crittenden ' compromise or ' amend-ments to the Constitution of the UnitedStates; " which are as follows: We havepublished theCrittemlen amendments severaltimes, and omit them here.

Unit saidStates respectively submit said Crittendenamendments, or like amendments, to a vote ofthe people of their respective States, on the

quest that said Legislatures direct the Gov-

ernors of their respective States to transmitthe vote on said amendments to the Presi-dent of the United States, with a request thatthe same be presented to Congress.

Resolved, That in transmitting the forego-ing propositions and requests to the Statesof this Union, the Governor of this State bedirected to request of the Governors of theother States to communicate to him, at asearly a day as possible, what action hasbeen had by the Legislatures of their' States,respectively, on the foregoing propositionsand requests from this State.

Resolved, That if the popular expressionof opinion of the people of the United States,upon the Crittenden amendments, shall notinduce two-third- s of both house? of Congressto propose said amendments, or like amend-ments to the'onstitution : or two-third- s ofthe States shall not join Kentucky in theapplication of Congress to call a conventionof the United States, to propose amendmentsto said Constitution, then Kentucky proposesto meet the States, that, by a vote of theirpeople on said Critrenden amendments, orlike amendments, indicate their willingnessfor the Constitution of the United States tobe thus amended, in convention, at the cityof Louisville, on the day of ,

ercise of force or coercion on the part of theFederal Government against any of theStateswho have declared, by ordinances of

that, they are no longer a partof the Federal Union; and we invoke uponthe part of the Federal Government and uponthe part of the people of the seceding States,a spirit of forbearance, moderation, and con-ciliation, convinced, as we are, that a Unionof force and coercion, held together by thesword or standing armies, is not the Unionof our fathers, and that such a Union is notworth preserving.

Resolved, That this Legislature regards itimproper, at this time, to call, or take initia-tory steps to the call of a State convention,to take into consideration the propriety ofthe State of Kentucky going out ot the i eder-a- l
