Carolina, as understand him. But, sir,
is this really the case Is the South uni

Kentucky the great centre of attraction 7
What lesson to the friends of the prea.
ent Administration, who have been throw
ing themselves into the arms of the
Southern slave power for support The
black enclantnient hope is now at an
end-the dream dissolved, and we awake
into open day. No longer is there any
uncertainty or any doubt on this subject
But is the great epoch passed is it not
rather just beginning Is Abolitiunism
dcad-or is it just awakening into life p
Is the right ofpetition strangled and forgot
tenor is it increased in strength and
force' These are serious questions for the
gentleman's consideration that may damp
the ardor Of his joy, if examined with an I'M
partial mind, and looked ia with an unpre-
JUDGED eye. Sir, when these paans were
sung over the death of Abolitionists, and of
course their right to liberty of speech and
the press, at least in fancy's eyes, we
might have seen them lying in heaps like
the enemies of the strong man in days OF
old. But let me bring back the gentle
mans mind from this delightful scene Of
Abolition death to sober realities and SOL
emn facts. ! have now lying before me
lthenames of thousands Of living witnesses
that slavery has not entirely conquered lib
erty; that Abolitionists (for so are all these
petitioners called) are not all dead. These
are my first proofs to show the gentleman
that his ideas are all fancy. have also,
sir, since the commencement Of this debate,
received a newspaper, as if sent by Provi-
dencc to suit the occasion, and by whom
| know not. Ii is the Cincinnati Repub-
lcan Of the I'd inst. which contains an ex-
tract from the Louisville Advertiser, a pa
per printed in Kentucky, in Louisville our
sister city and although about one hun
dred miles below us, is but few hours
distant. That paper is the leading Ad-
ministration journal, too, as | am informed,
in Kentucky. Hear what il says on the
death of Abolition.
ABoLIrIoN-CiNcINNATr-THE LOU
IsvILLE Administrative copy the fol-
lowing notice Of an article which we lately
published, upon the subject of Abolition
movements in this quarter, from the LOU
isville Advertiser:
ABoLITIoS.-The reader is referred to
an interesting article wiiriiwe Fave copied
from the Cincinnati Republican, paper
which lately supported the principles Of
Democracy 4; paper which has turned,
but not quite far enough f6zact with the
Adamses and SHADES III Congress, or the
Wing Abolitionists ~ ohio. 1t does not,
however, give corr lew Of the strength
of the Abolitionists IN Cincinnati. There
they are in the ascendant. They control
the city elections, regulate what may be
termed the morals Of the city, give tone &c
public opinion, and rule the roost' byvir-
tue Of their superior piety and intelligence.
The Republican tells Us that they are not
laboring Loco Focos--but "drones" sand
consumer" I" rich and well bern"
of course men who have leisure and
means, and disposition TO employ the lat
ter to equalize whites and blacks in the
slaveholding states. Even now, the abb
sconding slave is perfectly safe in Cincin-
natl. We doubt whether and instance can
be adduced Of the recovery Of runaway
in that place in the last four years. When
negroes reach " the Queen city" they are
protected by its intelligence, its piety and
its wealth. They receive the aid Of the
elite of the Buckeyes, and we have a
strong faction in Kentucky struggling zeal
ously 10 make her one Of the dependencies
of Cincinnati! Let our mutual sons go on.
The day of mutual retribution is at hand
much nearer than is now imagined. The
Republican, which still looks with friend
ly eye towards the slaveholding states,
warns us of the danger which exists, al
though its new born zeal for Whiggery
prompts il to exist, indirectly, on the right
of petitioning Congress to abolish slavery.
There are about two hundred and fifty alb
clifton societies in Ohio at the present
time, and from the circular issued at head
quarters, Cincinnati, ifappears that agents
are to be sent throug very county to dis
tribute books and pamphlets designed to
inhame the public mind, and then organize
additional societies,-or, rather, form new
plans, to aid in the war which has been
commenced on the slaveholding states"
do not, sir, underwrite for the truth of
this statement as an entire whole much of
it repel as an unjust charge on my fellow
citizens OF Cincinnati; but, as It comes from
a slayeholdng state-from the state OF the
