i i Correspondence of the Baltimore Sua. Mkshagb of thk Govbrnor of Kentocit. Governor Macouin, of Kentucky, In his annual message to the Kentucky Legislature, takes strong pro-slavery ground. He declares that Kentucky will stand Dy the Union asking nothing she would not concede. She will keep her present status upon the slavery question.

She will keep the faith and stand by its settlement, the laws, the constitution, and the courts. She will stand by the repeal of the Missouri restriction; she will stand by the fugitive slave law and the Dred Scott decision. She will alwa3'S denounce, the doc-tnnes the republican party, and the invasion at Harper's Ferry, and ever be found in defense of the rights of the South. As a means of precaution he recommends a tax on peddlers, a law to prevent free colored persons from coming Into Kentucky from other States, and an approprla tion to enable that sort of population to emigrate, not again to return; a reorganization of the militia is urgently recommended. The message closes with a glowing eulogy on the Union of the States, and the expression of the earnest hope thit we "may do nothing to weaken, but everything to strengthen the ligaments that bind us together E3 a nation, end may God still continue to protect us as equals, as friends, as brethren, and as patri-ets, in the republic as it is, deeply devoted to its continuance."

Reported for the Baltimore Sun. IfilETI-Sim C05GSESS-nRSI SISSIOI Washington, December 7. SENATE Mr. Slldell gave notice of his Intention to Introduce a bill to make an appropriation to facilU tate negotiations for the acquisition of Cuba. Air.

Johnson, of Tennessee, gave a similar notice with reference to a homestead bill. Several other notices were also given. Mr. Mason's resolution bow came up, and Mr. Trumbull resumed his remarks, showing the importance of the inquiry relative to the sacking of the arsenal at Liberty, 'Mo.

The seizure of an arsenal recently is regarded, as a matter of great Importance, yet the President, in his message, never alluded to the seizure of the arsenal in Missouri. A resolution was adopted in March, 13.35. calling on the President for all the information in departments relative to the affsirof Kansas, yet the report of Capt. Leonard had never been seat to the Senate. Mr.

Trumbull then proceeded to reply to an inquiry made by Mr. Vuiee. to lay down the principles of the republican party, reading their platform and defending the doctrines therein contained. Mr. Saulsburv inquired if the constitution gave power to establish slavery in the Territories? Mr.

Trumbull replied that it was a constitution of freedom not of slavery. The word slave don't occur in it. Mr. Yulee said it appeared then that the whole object of the republican party was to exclude slavery from the territories. He desired to know whether the exclusion did not apply to the District of Columbia and alt the forts and arsenals which were under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal Government? How was it in.

the new States of the Union? For the logical sequence of this argument would be thnt slaves are now illegally held in Louisiana. Missouri and every ether new State. He wanted liht on these matters, for it was a serious question. He quoted the speeches of Mr. be ward to show the dangerous sentiments he avowed to distract the country and accomplish the overthrow of the South.

Mr. Trumbull replied that they call th3mselves republicans because they advocate tbs principles of Jefferson. If his party had made any departure from these principles, he would condemn such departure. The fathers of the old republican party were their models; from whom their principles were taken. The very words in the platform to which the Senator from Florida objected were written bv the hand of Jefferson.

Mr. Yulee. To create and not destroy free governir.eat. Mr. Trumbull Yes, and we perpetuate free overnmet by maintaining the principles we advocate.

The other party call themselves democrats, when their legislation is all shaped for the interests of the slaveholding aristocracy, com-prising only one out of sixty of the inhabitants of the United "States.

These symptoms, in part, are experienced ftea by sufferers with diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel and Dropsy, and invariably, by the injudicious or nerveus and debilitated. It is a fact long since established, that any disease of these organs affects the mind more than any and all others, and if allowed to go on which this medicine invariably removes scon follows Lobs of Power, Fatuity, Epileptic Fits one of which the patient may expire. Who can say that these excesses are not frequently followed by those direfu. diseases INSANITY AND CONSUMPTION? The records of the INSANE ASYLUMS, and the melancholy deaths by CONSUMPTION bear am- fle witness to the truth of these assertions. In Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears.

The Charleston Convention The Debate in the Senate A Less Hostile Spirit Demanded of the North Mr: Sherman's Vote for Speaker, fc. The day fixed by the national democratic committee for holding the convention at Charleston is the 23d day of April, which is, bv a happy coincidence, probably not thought of by the committee, the birth day of Mr.

Buchanan. The day will, no doubt, give political birth to another and highly conservative and patriotic President, notwithstanding all the gloomy apprehensions that are sometimes indulged in by some of the more desponding of our patriots. The debate in the Senate, though preserving tht appearance of coolness and decorum, is not the less replete with sectional feeling on that account. It has certainly had the effect to show the country that there can be no peace between the two sections unless northern sentiment and action be made to assume a less hostile spirit towards the institutions of the South. The two sections already, through their presses and representatives, treat each other as alien enemies.

The bearing they assume in regard to each other is something like that which we witness in the present attitude of England and France, anl which, it is thought oy many, portends a rupture of the cordial relations that have long happily existed between them. It is also true that there are mischief-makers there as well as here, in public and in private lif who strive, by every means in their power, to foment all existing elements of strife. By the w-ay, I see that the national democratic committee propose to themselves the task of suppressing or controlling telegraphic representations concerning the movements' of the Charleston convention. They would do well to extend a judicious arrangement on this subject toother matters of public interest. It would seem that Mr.

Sherman had obtained his best proportionate vote. In a full House, he will apparenlly lack twelve votes of a majority. The republicans mav, however, expect to succeed under the plurality rule; but this will not be adopted, if it is manifestly to have thit effect. Iox. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

A Novel Bet Paid Politicians Rejoicing Lecture on John Brown. Thomas Flemming made a bet with a friend, on Tuesday last, of the following singular character.

If Fernando Wood was electee! mayor of the city, he was to take a broom and sweep one of the crosswalks in Fulton street from 3 o'clock in the morning till 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and never, during all that time, to say a single word to any one. if Havemeyer was elected, the other party to the wager was to do the same. Accord- ly, yesterday morning, Flemming, armed with a broom and a bottle of bitters, commenced the labor of sweeping the crosswalk at the corner of Nassau and Fulton streets All day long he plied tie juicy byaquizzicalcrbwd, all eagerly propounding various questions, some of a jocose and others of a tantilizing nature; but silently and solemnly worked the man of the broom until his task was finished. The "hards" of Albany had a grand celebration last evening over the election of Mr. Wosd, as mayor of this city.

Guns were fired and speeches made. At Syracuse there was a similar jubilee. By the way, Lynch (Mozart Hall) is elected governor of the almshouse by a plurality cf 1.204 over Pinckney, (republican); but the latter will also take his seat in the board, the charter providing that the candidate- receiving the next highest number of votes shall be appointed by the mayor. The common council is largely democratic "in both branches. A lecture on John Brown was delivered last nigiii, Is.

Henry Clay Pate, who. with bis Missouri forces, was surrounded and taken prisoner by Brown at what is known in the history of the Kansas conflict a3 "the battle of Black Jack."

Brown's Views of Virginia Valor Arrival of Fredericksburg Troops. This morning the sun is shining brightly, and every soldier's face seems an accurate thermone-ter, the murcury rising steadily and rapidly. The atmosphere is comparatively balmy, though the snow is lying on the ground. One of the jail guard, a worthy gentleman of this place, asked of Capt. Brown his autograph.

He expressed the kindest feeling for him, and said he would give it upon this consideration, that hs shou'd not make a speculation out of it. The gentleman never alluded to the subject again, but on the morning of execution Brown sent fur him and handed him the following communication: Charlestown, 2d 1359. John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done." This is a commentary on John Brown's philm-throphy. Cook had said he regarded the citizens on the border as cowardly.

Brown said he desired to say to those who could bear him testimony, that he was deceived in this respect that in on hour's notice there was one thousand men at Harper's for a fight, when he expected that every resident would have left on the first intimation of an Invasion. And after an Interview, be spoke of his betraying him, and said he (Cook) will die with a He in his mouth The Washington Guards of Fredericksburg arrived yesterday evening, under the command of Captain Peyton. They are a gallant body of troops. By the way, this company was the first that offered their services when the news of a- Invasion at Harper's Ferry arrived, and that by a telegram to Gov. Wise.

Clay inquired how he csuld reconcile the discrepancy between the obligation io give all men freedom, and the countervailing right to reclaim fugitive slaves? Mr. Trumbull replied that the first was merely the enunciation of the Declaration of Independence; but our fathers did not undertake to carry out their principles perfectly. Every government was an encroachment, more or less, on the natural rights of man. Mr. Clay inquired whether the Senator thought there were any circumstances under which crime could be justified, excused or tolerated for the fathers of the republic themselves were slaveholders? Mr.

Trumbull. I do not call it a crime in the citizens of the to hold slaves. Mr. Clay. Is not polygamy a crime? You have classed slavery and polygamy together, in our platform? Mr.

Trumbull. It is a crime under some circumstances. 1 take it that it is no crime in Turkev. Mr. Clay (interrcpticgO 1 thank you for that concession, in this Christian country.

Mr. Trumbull. We regard it as a crime, but other nations do so regard it I do not re--pard the holding of flives as a criase, as they are often held in the Southern States. I think'it is a wrong, but it is better to endure that wrong than to undertake to right it by a greater crime acd a greater evil. Mr.

Clay. Then I understand him to maintain thit right snd wrong are merely conventional, HEd depend on the laws of society, and the tone and moral sentiment of society? Mr. Trumbull. Not although many things are criminal or innocent according to circumstances. When we speak cf crime we mean some violation of the laws of the land.

There are no laws against polygamy in Turkey, and no laws against slavery in'the Southern States. Mr. Clay. Would not the taking of hamin life, without excusable circumstances, be a crime were there no law against it? And is not polygamy or slavery equally regarded as a crime under similar circumstances? Mr. Trumbull.

The taking of human life unjustifiably would undoubtedly be a crime and a great r-jng in a civilized community. I do not know how savages might regard it. In some Cises, where we would not regard killing as justifiable, perhaps they would. And all this thing cf holding persons in slavery depends on the circumstances of the people who have the slaves 1 he Id it as an evil, but ia civ judgaient it is not a crine in every instance. I have never so regarded it: acd thai is my explanation of the Declaration of Independence, and the enunciation of the same principle ia this platform of the republican party.

Mr T. denied that he considered slaves to be illegally held in the District of Columbia. Mr. Pugh. Do you speak lor yourself only or for year part? Mr.

Trumbull. I am speaking of the principles of tne republican party as understood by myself and by the people of the Northwest, who are a conservative. Union-loving and law-abidin'T poepie. The Senate adjourned over to Monday next. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

1 he House was opened with prayer this morning. Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, rose to raakea speech, When a running discussion took place on the pending proposition, whether it was relevmt to make speeches, as the previous question had heretofore been demanded and seconded to cut off discussion Mr. Clark's resolution and Mr. Gilmer's substitute.

The clerk subsequently rose to put the question as proposed, whether it was competent for him to decide questions of order pending the election of a Speaker. Mr. MiUson objected to a private citizen, elected by a former House, and a subordinate officer, presiding over the bodv. r. Grow agreed with Mr.

Millson. and would not favor a violation of the express law of Con-gress. Mr. Majrnard differed from both of these gentlemen. The points of order were then withdrawn.

Mr Davis, of Mississipr proceeded to addre33 the House reply to Mr Nelson, who spoke yesterday. He had nothnr kh to av in the remarks be should fjbnlil buVwishe say that which would ttn to strengthen the harmony be-Tn 2cnt.1f.D c-n on the floor, and between the different poi- lical eiernent3. The South was specially ia the defeat of the fanatical YI-b ti North, which was making such great there, because it was the avowed pur- te of that partv to make aggressions upon southern rights, their domestic Institutions, and to deprive them of their just equality under the constitution of the United States. It was the duty of all patriotic southern men Americans, Democrats, and all to come forward and attempt to arrest the rapid progress of that fanatical storm which was now raging with such violeuce in the country. l.et them elect a national man for Speaker, that the country might at least enjoy peace for two years longer.

It had been said, though, that there was no cause for alarm. He hopd to convince gentlemen tht there was great and serious cause for alarm. He would first Inquire why it was that there existed such little harmony between that and the other side of the House? Who, and what caused it? There muat be a cause; let ihem see where it was. There were nowhere to be found men more loyal to the constitution and the Union than in the South. He attributed it entirely to the action of northern men to the announcement of the "irrepressible conflict," inaugurated by the leading men of the republican party of the North.

He then proceeded in forcible terms to deprecate this action, and appealed to all conservative men, North and South, to desist from this unnatural warfare. He appealed to the gentleman from Tennessee. Their interests were equally concerned. It was incumbent upon them to combine to put abolitionism beyond our borders. Let them strike, and strike like men, to put down this hydra.

If the northern men wanted disunion, the South was prepared to dissolve. All they desired was to be let He held that Seward had proved himself a traitor, and ought to be hung Applauded by the democratic side. It was his opinion that If Virginia could get hold of Seward she would tang him as she did John Brown. Mr. Kilgore wisbed to call the gentleman's attention to a shert extract published in a southern paper.

Mr. Davis esld he wonld not yield. He was not for Seward; if he could get hold of an "irrepressible" conflict man, why then he miht yield to lim. They were not going to give the republicans the government; lie knew they th.ougtittn.ey -would get thia fine house, laughter, the army and the navy, but he would assure them that they were going to get possession of the army and navy, and then they intended to put down this rebellion, and hang every mother's son of them. Laughter on the repuolican side and cheers on the other.

Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, deprecated agitation of the slavery question. He then proceeded to give his reasons for supporting Mr. Sherman for Speaker; one of which was that the gentleman was a friend of protection to domestic industry, and was a highly honorable man, who had ia the Kansas struggle upheld the rights of the people against the outrages of power. He insisted that tbe people of the North should not be hed responsible for the acts of a few madmen.

Mr. Moore, of Alabama, said he knew that there were men at the North and from the North who were as loyal to the constitution as the South. But to say that there were in the North no sympathizers with Brown, It was a libel. He proceeded to show the objects and alms cf the republican party. If this party should be defeated the I'nion would be preserved; but if the gorernaaent.
