KENTUCKY TO De FRYE There are two
papers Of widely extended circulation in the
field, in favor Of the abolition of slavery in this
State the Courier and the Examiner both pub
lished in Louisville; and it Is said that the Jour.
nal and the Democrat, Of that city, will soon take
the same side.
The Examiner Of Dee Q publishes an address
to the presbyterians Of Kentucky. urging the
instruction aud emancipation OF their slaves, by
Il committee OF the Synod of that State.
Henry Clay is proposed as a member Of the
Convention for revising the State Constitution /;
the gradual abolition of slavery being one of the
contemplated objects Of the revision.

a. We co not know as the Democrat ought
to be held accountable for the plain and obvious
import Of its own language, but il so, he is just
ly chargeable with the evasion of one fabrication
by making another.
In former article he accused this paper and
another Of an attack upon the recent Post Office
appointment, and after stating that gaping ex-
pectants" were out.generaled by the appoint
ment, thus concludes 1T seems that there were
st least t,oo faithful laborers for old lack who
were waiting for the Post Office, notwithstand-
ing they had been loudest in assuring the dear
people that the Free Soilers were after the
spoas." No other persons had been mentioned
in the articles but the two papers, and the fact
that tiro persons at least were waiting, &C., was
stated as an inference from the preceding re-
marks. at seems" he says; how did lit seem,
from what did ii, SEEM" unless from something
previously said
We are aware that premises and conclusions
are not unfrequently strangers 70 each other in
the editorials of the Democrat, and that his in.
ferences have faculty of standing alone, with
perfect contempt Of facts. 1t may be that be-
cause the PhGnix and Eagle spoke of the Post
Office appointment, that therefore sit seems" to
the Democrat there are "t'oo persons"-not the
aforesaid Ph9nix and Eagle-how could one
think so ?-but one John Doe and Richard Roe
were "waitng for the Post Office" They were
not named, to be sure, nor in the most distant
manner alluded to in the article, but to the acute
reasoning powers Of the Democrat, the infer.
ence is quite rational and easy. A person who
undertakes to get out of one ialsehood by telling
another, is very apt to be eornered, unless he
has the skill of the Democrat in drawing infer.
enees without facts.
The Democrat insists upon the resignation Of
Mr. Palmer as justification for the appointment,
Of bis successor, and says he knows all the facts
Does he know at what time the APPLICATION
was made ? and how long it was gtierpayds be-
fore the conditional resignation was made We
have no wish to pursue this matters if the Dem
ocrat has, he may answer these questions at his
leisure.
