was somewha. surprised at a remark of my
friend b. Webb, in the first number of the
Abolitionist, and was no little puzzled to COM
prehend the position he would wish to assume.
He says he is F." in favor of immediate but, not
unconditional emancipation What condition
would he annex to the enjoyment of liberty by
the freed-manl Would he, with the coloniza-
zionist, require that the colored man should be
removed to Africa, making that condition of
his enfranchisement, that is thing necessary
to be performed, before he should cease to be
chattell Or would he, with the Shareholder
of the south, require that freedman should leave
the State, and would he refuse him liberty if
he did not comply with his conditionl know
my friend we'll enough say t!rrs-I ara sstis-
fed it is neither of these. What then can the
condition be which he would prescribe. have
heard no others suggested in the case and the
term unconditional was evidently adopted by
the modern abolitonists" to distinguish their
plan from that OF the colonzatlonists, which
then had and still possesses very strong hold
upon the feelings and negotiations Of the peo-
pie. A
| am for unconditional emancipation, such as
was decreed in Pennsylvania and other, of the
Northern States. They did not it is true de-
cree liberty to all in the first instance, and here
in they erred as | think; but so far as it was
given, it was given without condition. 1t was
not even required that the slave should signify
his wish to be free. The masters authority
over him was made TO cease by themere opera
ltion Of the law, under certain defined clrcum-
stances; nor could the slave under these cir
lcumstances present his own emancipation; and
this is what wish to see effectualy done in Del
aware and in every other slave state. Nocon-
dition annexed in The ownership of mans own
limbs, not even that of good behaviour. if the
| freedman injuries his neighbor, in person or in
property. let him be punished for it as other
lfreemen, but let him not be made personal
chattel which would be the case if good be-
haviour was made condition of emancipation.
There may be some VINO think that the mas
ter is entitled to compensation from his freed,
man for the loss of his value as property and
that the payment of this compensation by the
slave or some person on his behalf should be
condition of his emancipation. But b. w.
cannot be of this number, for he says that
l'' every man has right to his liberty" which
lis to say in other words that every one who

shall defeat ourselves, create unnecessary alarm,
and retard the progress of the cause" Hence
they pass by considerations of higher charac-
ter; not that they do not feel them, and would
not act upon them, but that the presentation of
them, in their view, would do harm.
p We have stated the difficulties. Next in or
der comes the question--How shall we remove
them? Of this, in our next. Meantime, we
should like to. hear from our friend-to know
candidly, from him, whether as regards him
self, we are right or wrong.

|tablisbed habits and usaged--those in which
we are set, to which we lare attached, and
which are part and parcel Of us--not SO much
our second nature, as our vfry nature ITSELF
why, they must all go, and new habits and
usages spring up under new circumstances
Can we conform to them Gan we be happy
with them, or under them II is an untried
stale, and, whatever others experience may be,
we dread to test it. 1t involves future of I'M
known experiment, and we fling to present
known good and evil, rather than plunge into
lit.
Besides, Emancipation, wien proposed, starts
the blood into hundreds of cheeks from other
causes. There are children bf tender age, wild
tows, young and old, greyIeaded fathers, who
have their all locked up In negro property
Their hire, schools, clothes, feeds shelters them.
Strip them of it, and they are heplessly poor.
How can they sustain Measure, when such
i'll may befall them l--Hfw help dreading a
change, when these, or moe fearful consequens
ces may happen. And they, and all who SYM
Pathlze with them, or experience kindred fears,
say, 1--WE care nothing for Your increase of pop
ulatlon and power--your promised greater pros
perlty-your railways, and universal education
your wide spread blessings under freedom !;
and we will not have, e y@chanee. if we can
help it,"
Now we know, as we believe, that no inju-
ry would, or could be wrought against any one
of these classes. There is not man in all
Kentucky who would not scorn him who would
seek to strip children, or women, or cid age, of
their support We do not here look at the ques-
ton of right: we take the facts simply as they
are. By law, they have certain property in
human flesh that human flesh tolls, and by
that toll they live. We would acknowledge
and undo the wrong, and make free the slave
I by law and then give to owners, one and all,
lull and adequate compensation. For liberty's
sake, we could afford TO be generous! For the
common good, large in otr bounty Nor is
there human being, that we are acquainted
with, in favor of emancipation, who would break
up old habits, OF bring about great changes,
without seeking, in every way, to prevent evil,
Inconvenience, or difficulty to any portion of
the people in the State. We know this, as do
all our friends; but the plrties to whom we
refer, do not, therefore theyIthus feel and act.
| What, now is the consequence of all these
things-of this general dfead-this anxiety
about the change which emancipation proposes
this fear of loss of PROPERTY Why, that
good men, like our friend, whose letter we quo

the words "sad'' and ''aforesald" do not occur

that the commissioners have studlously avoided
