Wayland:
81 have before me. at tins moment. a speech
delivered in the Convention held at Danvillp
Kentucky, by the Rev. David Rice, proving
cha, slavery is inconsistent with Justice and
good policy printed in Philadelphia, l792.-
Il is as thorough, manly and able discussion
Of Tins whole subject, as within the same COM
vas, ! have ever seen. This was delivered in
the Convention for torminc a constitution for
chat State, and have no reason TO suppose
that il paye any offence. This sarse freedom
of discussion was enoved III Kentucky until
quite lately. Some ten or fifteen wears since,
u notion was entertained in the Legislature Of
hat State TO call A convention for the express
9uroose OF abolishinr slavery, and it failed of
.-ucccss only by the casting vote Of the speaker
Nav. even as late as the year 1880, in the
Convention for forming the present Constitu-
ton for Virginia, the whole subject Of slavery
yas publicly discussed, with u freedom and an
ro1uence which even in that State, 50 fertile
n orators, has never been excelled.
