The Louisville Examiner.

type gives the following tribute to the Editors
of the Examiner.
1.-THE rash abolition papers of the North do
but little to effect the freedom of the blacks
in the South. The more severe they are the
more hardened the southerner beceme A
moderate temper is necessary to effect much in
the cause of emancipa The Louisville
Examiner is paper calculated to do more for
the Anti Slavery cause than all the papers
north of Manson and Dixon's line. Mr.
Vaughan is native of South Carolina, and
has witnessed the effect of free labor. His
heart and soul are engaged in the cause he
has espoused, and his opinions and writings
are appreciated by all who read them. The
uncompromising abolitionist who abuses the
south, may conceive that Mr.. Vaughan is not
hostile enough to the SOUTH and his language
is too mild, but it is presumable that resi-
dent and a native of the south understands
the wants of this section, and the feelings of
the inhabitants. Mr.. Vaughan's ability to
write and conduct a journal devoted to the
cause of free labor. cannot be questioned

There are some incidents, however, connect

show the spirit of the man and the occasion,
and which Several correspondents having

the most applause, were those which announc-
ed that he would have died rather than have
voted for lie, (referring to the preamble of
the war act,) and which denounced slavery and
the extension of slavery.
When about to introduce the latter subject
he paused, and in his deepest voice, and most
imposing manner, said -
Il regard slavery as a great evil-greatly
to be deplored-and, will add, fraught with
injustice to our fellow beings who are the
subjects of it,"
Long, earnest and deafening applause fol-
lowed this announcement. 1.-THE dullest
heart" says one correspondent, would have
beat unanimously" II wanted, when he
said this declares one ardent and true
hearted Kentuckian, "to give yell that
would wake the nation"
The orator catching the full force of the
feeling around him, and rising with the &C.
casion, affirmed with deeper emphasis, and
more stirring eloquence:-
Fifty years ago, advocated the adoption
of the Pennsylvania scheme of Emancipation,
and had it been made the law, we should have
been entirely rid of the evil of slavery. And
with the added experience, observation, and
reflection of these fifty years, 1 regret-1
deeply regret-and deplore-that that scheme
so wise, SO polite, so just. had not been
adopted: FOR MY OPINIONS NOW ARE PRECISE
LY WHAT THEY WERE THEM.
The enthusiasm here was seemingly at its
height. AZ clapped, danced and shouted,
says one usually sober. 81 felt like boy, so
glad was 1 to hear Kentuckian talking out
so bravely for freedom" adds another of our
gravest citizens. q tell you my friend,
afiirms young emancipation, "Old Hal God
bless him y has this day done work for anti
slavery in the South, which will do wonders
But from all acknowledgements as we'll
