The Senate considers a message from the President on the Peace Conference (Virginia resolutions). The Senate recieves a message from the President on a Peace Conference including resolutions from Kentucky.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
I have received from the Governor of Kentucky certain resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of that Commonwealth, containing an application to Congress for the call of a convention for proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States, with a request that L should immediately place the same before that body. It affords me great satisfaction to perform this duty; and I feel quite confident that Congress will bestow upon these resolutions the careful consideration to which they are eminently entitled, on account of the distinguished and patriotic source from which they proceed, as well as the great importance of the subject which they involve.
JAMES BUCHANAN. Washington, February 5, 1861.
