The General Assembly of tlio Com- monwealth of Kentucky, acting for and on bt-Ualf of the j)eople of Kentucky, arc constiaiucd to cuter ft most earnest and solemn Trotcst against tho great constitutional wrong and manifest in justice which has been dono , this peo ple, in tho failing ami rcfnaing to ml mit their just representation ; on the floor of tho I louse of Representatives of tho Congress of the United States, on tho presentation of their legal certifi cates of election, dnly authenticated, and each of the said Eeprescntatives possessing all tho quahllcations . pre scribed by tlto Constitution of tho Uni ted States. We solemnly protest against the as sumption of power toiake and apply new tests and qualifications for mem bership, not only not authorized by or contemplated in, but we hold clearly prohibited by tho Federal Constitution, as nothing less than a usurpation cul minating in a violation of vested right, and an assault upon the liberty of a free people. Tho essential principle of our free Government is, that it is the Govern ment of the people, made by the' people, and carefully framed w ith the special view of reterting all potter in the people which it was not found essential to concede, and which was not actually given by the Constitution to their re presentatives and public servnnts. It being impracticable for the peo ple to assemble in mass and deliberate upon messures of public policy, repre sentative agents of tho people are at . . . ' !. I At. - once a paipnwo necessuy; aim iuu highest object of th Constitution is to define and iimit their powers and duties. Tho Representative is but the ageht of the people f and the Constitu tion is the warrant of his authority. It is his power of attorneyand he can not transcend theljroitof its authority. Kay, lie Jn required to make solemn path to support the Constitution and be. bound by its restrictions. The Constitution plainly enumerates and defines the powers of Congress; and by all rules of legal interpretation, that body could assume no power not expressly granted therein. But the people, jealous of the growing anxiety nf their asrents for more power, and fearing their public servants should as pireto rule as masters, determined, niw a short experience.' to add the Tenth Ameudment lo the Constitution, which provides that ' The powers not delegated to tne nited States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are r served to the States roHpectively, or to tho MeoDle." T1.0 fnmA nf this constitutional in. TlTD) VUTJL GEEENSEOEO, N. 0., hibitioa ia in bowiso weakened as re. gards the Congress, because it applies alike to all the departments of the Uni ted States Government, it is the peo ple saying plainly to their public ser vants in the United States Govern ment, ybu have your warrant of au thority, whatever powers are not ex pressly given you in the Constitution we, the people,; reserve to our State Governments and t6 ourselves." ' 'v fl Where, therefore,' the Federat ! Con stitution, in the second section of the first-article, provides that M No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained tlurage of. twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States,' and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State in which ie shall be chosen," it has defined all the qualifications which may be exacted by any power or authority, save and except that each House may require, in addition, satis factory evidence that a member has been legally elected. " The provision of the fifth section of the first article, ' " That each House shall be judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of jts own members," means only ,this and can be made to mean nothing , more. : or i can the qualification be altered indirectly by the requirement of an amplified oath, for tho Constitution hot only prescribes and defines all the qualifications that may be exacted, but as plainly and definitely declares the oath which shall be required of a Representative in Con gress. In the third clause of article six is provided: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State Leg islatures, and all executive and judi cial officers, both of the United States a'ud of ;, the several Statesj '.shall be bound by wt.U T rfumivu port this Constitution." Considering, then, the rcstritions of the Tenth Amendment, leforc quoted, what authority has Congress to add to the substance of this oath ; and how may it be done without a direct infrac tion of one offhe dearest rights of the people therein reserved the right to elect whom they may choose, possess ing the qualfications defined in the Constitution, as.their Representative ! To deny the right of any s people to elect u Representative of their own choosing, is practically to deny them the right of franchise, or any partici pation in framing the policy of their government. Their election is a mocke ry, ifa ruling power may direct for whom or for what class of men their polls shall be cast ; and when they submit to this, their liberty is destroy ed, and they are made slaves. , Rut beyond all questions of power, wo earnestly protest and utter a solemn w:annug, against the dangerous pre cedent of amplifying the prerequisite qualifications or tne oarn or . omce to conform to the views of tho ruling ma jority, as conceding a power which Con gress not only does not, but ought not, possess. Such power would always be capable of the greatest abuse, and lead necessarily to the most deplora ble practices. The tendency of ft test oath on political sentiments is to per petnate the ascendency of the party in power) and the authority ouco estab lished, the temptation to use it for that object becomes too strong for re sistance, in times of high political ex citement and rancor. If this Congress may apply, through the oath of office, a test of present or past political senti ments, another Congress, controlled by tho devotees of the Grand Army of the Republic, may require that each mem berHhall swear to : having actually .served a specified term in the array or navy. Or, the tables being turned, and that great organization vanquish ed in its struggle for supremacy, an. other - Congress may , enact an oath that would disqualify for membership any one having served in the army or navy of the United States. Political enthusiasms are often epi demic, and carry the populace, for the time being, on a single idea. A party predicated on one idea (as anti-masonry, know nothingism, &c., in the past,) attaining a majority in Congress, would ID) Thursday, JtJUH 4 1868. Seek to perpetuate its ascendancy by requiring an oath of admission to con (orm to its peculiar tenets. ;, V , And so protesting, in the name of the people of Kentucky, and of their great chart of liberty, the Constitution the General Assembly of the Common wealth of Kentucky does hereby ; ".'.: . DECLARE. '. ' 1. Thatj In a Republican Govern ment, the right of representation is' a franchise which t the people may . not safely relinquish, and of wbicii they cannot be deprived and remain free. Tho right of a people to representation" implies the right for : them to choose their Representatives, and a denial of the latter involves a destruction of the former; hence, a government is no longer republican when this right of the people is destroyed. ; ; ' 7 ; 2. The Constitution of the United States, which is , the, creature, of the States, and which constitutes the only bond of the Federal Union, prescribes tho qualifications which must be pos sessed bjf members of Congress; also the. mode of choosing them, and the right conferred by the Coifstitution on each House of Congress to "judge of the election, qualification, and returns of ts memlers," docs not authorize the denial of representation to the people of a State or district, nor authorize the application of any. new or additional tests or qualifications for membership. 3. To reject a Representative duly chosen, because of any political senti ments which he may have held or may hold, Is at ouce a flagrant violation, of the Constitution and a ruthless anni hilation of freedom itself : because free dom consists in the right to bo repres ented by whomsoever a majority may select: Vrotidei, There beno disquali fication in the member so chosen em braced witum tne : provisions 01 tne Federal Constitution. v i i. Each and every one of the Repre sentatives ti.cted by the people of the State of Kentucky to the Fortieth Con gress, was not only duly elected, but possessed all the qualifications requir ed bv the Constitution, and the exclu sion for a single day of any one of fchem, upon tho grounds alleged by the controlling power in the House of Rep resentatives, was an infraction of the constitutional rights of the people, which demands our most unqualfled denunciation and in the name of an injured and outraged people, we do most solemnly and earnestly protest against such action, which, if persisted in, and established as the policy of the Government, will render: tho elective franchise a farce, and what wo have been taught to regard as constitution al liberty but a solemn mockery. v , Resolved, That his Excellency, the Governor of this Commonwealth, be requested to forward a copy of this de claration, duly certified, to the. Presi dent of the United States, to the Presi dent of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives of tho Uni ted States, to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to the Governors of each of tho States, with a request that it be laid before their respective Legislatures : JOHN T.

AGRICULTURAL REPORTS. The following statement is based on information furnished by the Statistic al Division of the Department of Ag riculturef 1 '-.'" ,!j ;,'! T Rarely are our winters so favorable to fall sown wheat as' that of 1867-8. The New England States are encourag ed to attempt wheat culture morelarge ly by the fine condition of that now in the ground. ' The season was equally favorable in the Middle States, which , - . , -1 . report discouraging facts' affecting the winter crops. Throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, there is a- general expression of satisfaction with, xne vuuuiuou 01 Tirel auu a cunuueut expectation of a fruitful harvest if no casualty intervenes. In the Qhioval ley,' and in the Northwest, the wheat generally looks welL A few exceptiong are noted, as in Miami, Ohio, it is not, looking welL In Hardin it was some what frozen, while the reports from most Ohio counties are quite favorablej as in Ottawa there , "never 1 was so fa vorable a winter." In miQ it was " small but promising," and in Van West "March passed, without a day detrimental to the growing crop," : T In West' Virginia, Putnam and Wood counties report inferior condition from winter killing. Other counties claim a better stand than' for many years. 1 . From Indiana the accounts of the crop are uniformly favorable, "far bet ter than usuar--"bctter than last year" in some cases better than for many years, while in Miami, late sown wheat is thin ; the early sown looks well.' ' '" ' ' " :':,." '' .: '.. In Kentucky there is, much diversity in the appearance, and not a little com plaint of winter killing as in Ander son, Butler, Henry, Laurel, Scott and other counties. It is noticed in Liv ingston county that fields with a north env and eastern aspect look better than those lying to the south and west Many fields iu the, county have been plowed and sown in oats. ,f ..-,, In Illinois, and especially in the , Northwest, the crop is maiuly spring . wheat, but the fall sown generally looks well in all that region. Very little loss from freezing is reported from Missouri. It shared with other States in that latitude the drawback of drouth in pre venting early sowing, yet in many counties the returns were never better, very promising or equivalent terms. From Virginia,' North Carolina and Tennessee the condition . reported is variable more or less- winter killing resulted in the belt between the 36th and 39th degress of latitude,' from al ternate freezingand thawing, the cover: ing of snow beiug more geueral than usual, but not of sufficient depth for protection. . A few counties only make the loss severe, and many represent tho prospect ' for harvest unusually good. With evejy day of fine weather the frozen fields improve in appearance materially affecting the expectations Further South accounts favor abundant L.u c ti.. proportion to acre-' v age sown. . It ii worthy of mention " and of careful notice, that ia every lo- ' ". cality that has Buffered from freezing those fields tbat were planted wii.Ii the ; ? drill are comparatively unscathed, witk the broadcast sowing is in miserable condition r and it is also found that' thorough Ullage enables the thrifty and well-rooted plants to endure the action of frost, while the carelessly-sown wheat is ruined.
