I C"S h.oh hAo OSt from tue DC
ming ana who never trod the soil of a free
: State, writes us from East Tennessee:
81 have more hope from your idea Of inde-
! Uodenf county action than of any principle,
have seen promulgated. have mentioned i, to
twenty Intelligent men, and the very thing they
Comment upon Is, the justice and equality OF
the principle Nearly every one Of them saws
il IL democratic ami Jusi, aud | sincerely hope
you will push it,
Ave, friend, We shall Bat take care that you
do the same thing. THIS idea of leaving editors
TO push on good measure sometimes breeds Ia
illness in those who favor il. ghis will not
answer. Every man j. Il press full, blazing
Gazeiie-and if he be Ia esrnest--puts his hesrt
into the thing-he can stir up the people as no
! type can. Remember this, friends,
J a L-....-L- ------r-.,+euJ writes as:
a few days since I saw Nsior
/ who said, me thought two thirds OF his county
would go for emancipation, II the Constitution
were changed"
Good news, But why are thes. two-ihirds
silent now If they would speak out Sc; the
example 10 other counties, they know not the
good they might do. We rejoice truly that
such is their disposition. But it would stir up
and rejoice hundreds of thousands il thew would
say 80 by decisive action.
An influential citizen and native declares:
To-day, had conversation with a slave
holding constable, living in this town. He is
strong for emancipation, and said, 'he would
be willing 10 help 10 pay emancipation
speaker to address the people of this county the
next summer"
This is something like There isaction here.
When men make their tongues wag, and lie,
their purses bleed, for a cause, we know they
mean something, and will DO something. That
man is host. He, and al like him, make their
mark. Ten snch in every town--iifty such in
every eounty-in the State--vould not only
make strong the emancipation party, but carry
emancipation itself triunphsntly.
A friend referring TO the progress fthe cause,
and the disposition on the part of the Ministers
10 support it SAYS:
am told the Rev. Mr. 'ss.s- one ofthe most
influential men in his county takes the ground
that so long slavery exists ia Kentucky. so
long will labor be degrading. \ very sensible
view; for every thing that promotes ioleness in
lures the country. it lessons 70 that extent its
productions, &c. &c
!, is SO. The Rev. gentleman holds ,hi. view
But We mistake much if he stops there, or if he
be content 10 remain al idle spectator in the
coming conflict. His pie,y j. deep, and he
knows the evils of slavery well. That piety,
then will swell up. and pour out its strength for
emancipation.
A discreet, Vet firm friend Of tho cause from
Wilmington, Deianars, writes us:
"You have correctly and strikingiy shown the
difference, Dotn IA t.ie Increase 90 popuial,ou
and the value OF land, In the Free over the Slave
States. Even in this State land of equal quail

Legislature pass a law at its next session, abol-
'shing slavery (as l verify believe they will,l

DOM
There is certainly no cause for discourage
nenf IL is righteous cause, and must pre-
vail
Cause for encouragement, No, we feel IL
not; nor 10 our friends. We may be impatient
Some of US may think that the good work goes
on too slowly. But We all believe that it will
triumph, and fee; heartier in its behalf than
ever. Encouragement forsooth. Why, our
friend gives us cheering news; we hear like
good accounts from ali the mid slave States: IL
would be mean and humanity, in any Of ms,
then, to give way. TO doubt or despond, when
we should be up and doing, or we say out
West, quitting on our strongest ticks, for the
cause and the country.
Butenough for the present Our budget looks
big yet, and we are tempted to dive into IT,
Yet we must put 1t outside for the present, and
let our readers digest what Southern men, and
some u them slave-holders, too, say and think
about emancipation. .I.
