The friends Of freedom will be glad to hear
again from one Of its truest champions. Un-
changed in mind and purpose, he is fired by as
holy zeal for the good cause, as man ever felt.
His reception in Kentucky has been Of the
wsrmest character. At Lexington, it ioas a
grand fete. All parties and all classes, Joined
to meet and greet Cassius NJ. Clay. The
truth is, the people love and respect the man.
Nor let any one suppose that this results
from his military services. He had no opportu-
nifty to win wsrTior-fame. 1t was the spirit Of
generosity and self-sacri6ce-the remembrance
Of his fight in hOlier battle than war ever wit
nessed-which babe the people hail his return
home with 30 wide and earnest an enthusiasm.
And it is a good omen-this honorable ac-
acknowledgement Of past injustice, and shaking
Of hands over past divisions. 1t shows that the
hour is, when men may consider the right, and
struggle honestly for IL. Let us welcome this
change as the dawn Of better day, and labor
together to hasten its full and more glorious
opening

II isssid often, that the Emancipation Scheme
in the West Indies is a failure
Why is it, if this be 50, that shareholders, who
but lately owned large bodies of slaves, are Of
their OrR accord, pressing it on : Why, If the
negroes become thereby more degraded and
troublesome, do they deliberately seek to in
crease all manner Of social evils around them

And worth remembering, too.
South Carolina passed law, Us have other
Southern States, for the Inspection of vessels
trading with New York, &c. 1t was retalla-
tory measure That is, the Governor Of New
York refused to deliver up some one charged
with kidnapping, and therefore the Legislature
determined to punish the Empire State.
Well-the law has been executed! And who
is hurt. The Palmetto State alone! New York
can ship to other ports and trade with other
States, than Charleston, and South Carolina.
And the merchants feel 1.-THE city and State
feel it-and petitions are sent to the legislature
to repeal the law!
The political legislation of South Carolina
has half ruined that State, and this the people
there will find out too late.

eco Ahe.dt,

When right, Of course. There should be,
then, no stOp--no hesitatiOn--nO anxiety.
We understand this philosophy in trade, poll
tics,war Nothing daunts our men in these mat
tiers. Americans brave any risks; encounter
any opposition; meet any odds-and they do all
this, too, as II there could be neither failure nor
defeat. But in moral subjects, they do not mani
fest the same daring or action. They trim, hest
tare, compromise, doubt. If they had. or would
show, the same qualities in moral matters that
they do IN trade or politics or war, they would
be the world's-master-spirits, and heavens
truest workers ON earth.
No matter. The right leaven is among US.
The times are suspicious for its diffusion. Our
very foes are working for US, and if we work
rightly for ourselves, we cannot fail. Let us,
then, go ahead. George A. Light has hit the
true idea, and put il in stirring verse. Read it,
and then let your boys, and girls memOrize it
for neither they nor we can have too much of
this spirit.
Never doubt righteous cause;
Go ahead,
Throw yourself completely in;
Conscience shaping all your laws
Manfully, through thick and thin,
Go ahead.
Do not ask who'll 60 with you;
Go ahead:
Numbers! spurn the towards plea!
II there be but one or two,
Single handed though il be,
Go ahead!
Though before you mountains rise,
Go ahead:
Scale them 1-certainly you can:
Let them proudly dare the Skies
What are mountains to q man!
Go ahead.
Though fierce waters round you dash;
Go ahead;
Let no hardship battle you:
Though the heavens roar and flash,
Still, undaunted, firm and true,
Go ahead.

For the Examiner
To The Subscribers Of the True American:

NOt enc A@AeAHAhei.
To the Subscribers Of the True American:
CONPATnors-The True American has ceased
TO exist; but IL not in vain that It estab-
ished by me, and 90 literally sustained by
you.
The true friends Of the South were not behind
their brothers Of the free States in feeling the
evils Of slavery. Not content with injecting
the pulpit, the Legislative Hail and the social
circle il breathed upon the liberty of the prsss,
and despsiring silence sat upon millions. Here
and there al long intervals some one more dar-
ing than the rest gave utterance TO the hottest in
stincts of nature, and spoke out against the
giant curse. Ii was but mOmentary ripple on
aVast sea, whose waters again subsided into more
than original stagnation.
In all the south there was not a single press
where the right could be indicated or calm rea-
sOning allowed In the year lo45 / ventured
single handed into this fearful contest. Hold
ing in mind the examples Of those who in all
ages had vindicated the liberties Of men-I had
counted the cost, and was prepared for the catas-
trOphe.
The American people know the result. The
God Of battles has stood by the right The
liberty Of the press is for the first time since
l716 established in the South. Not only in my
own State, but in the National Capital and d.
Vers other places, men 'may fully speak and
write upon any subject whatever" being re-
sponsible only TO the lars.

American" Ny detention in a Mexican prison

the Editor Of the Examiner has forestaled
my wishes, and is now fulfilling all my obliga-
tons to my subscribers by substituting his pa
per for mine. Those who have seen both pa
pers will not regret the change. ! ask for him
the continuation Of that generous support in
that cause which was in me shown dear TO so
many noble Americans. The first scene in the
drama is accomplished: brighter hopes dawn
upon Kentucky ard the American Republic
The extraordinary events at home and abroad
for the last few years have aroused the cOnscien-
ces and startled the minds Of millions. Go read
Guizot's History Of Civilization, and take cour-
age. Faith in the progress Of mankind is no
longer the dream of '.faRGties."
The spirit Of large and liberal enquiry and
consequent amelioriation is moving ali nations.

Church and afnte.

We have desired very much to give some ac-
count Of the action going on in England against
Church and State. 1t is assuming now a char
acter, and having an influence, which cannot be
overlooked by statesmen, orput down BY govern
ment Mr.. EDWARD MAIL, bold and honest
reformer. said in a speech at Halifax, England
"The present connexion between Church and
State would not last long. Sooner than was an
ticipated, there would be some interposition of
Provdence-some little event occurring which
would FIRE the train that had long been prepared,
and this injustice would explode at once and be de-
stroyed forever, and they should find themselves
some morning, when awoke, without the in
cumbrance of an establis hment."
The means used to accomplish this end are
argument and persuasion. No violence of Ian
guage-no Clearing down"-nothing, in short,
which could disturb the latest conservative, or
most portly alderman, is resorted to. The in
justice of the connexion between Church and
State is pointed Quits injury to religion ex-
planned; its hurt in political matters vigorously
enforced.

Census Of Nav Orleans.

What is the matter7 New Orleans is put
down now at 1898. This is a falling off of
$1,000 since last year, and a dirninution Of
$4,000 since 1910. The Delta cyphers this into
mistake. Rents, it says, are rising, new build
ings have gone up; the return must be untrue.
Wherein7 All this may be in certain quarters Of
the city, and yet the result itself be true. We
don't wish it otherwise, we desire, indeed, the
fullest prosperity for New Orleans; but causes
are in operation which cannot be controlled that
must lessen its population.

As an illustration of the rsPid growth of thu
trade of Chicago, the Chicago Journal notices
the fact that it was only in 1893 that its export
trade commenced, and consisted Of load Of
wheat and 700 barrels of flour. The latter was
brought back for want Of a market. In 1912
the exports were 5s6,9O7 bushels of wheat and
,, $40 bbls. Of -four.
What will not free labor accomplish! Only
think of it, in 1919, ChicagO's export trade con-
sisted of one load of wheat and of 700 bbls. of
flour! Now it supports feet of vessels, and
sends its hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat Labor is free; the laoorer independ-
emit; and the mighty wids Of the NorthW West
