The subject of Emancipation Is becoming
more and more the engrossing topic throughout
the State. Even in neighborhoods in which
the discussion Of the subject has been unusual,
men, when they now meet together express
their opinions freely. A great change hascome
over the people Of this State. A year or two
ago, We were told that all discussions of the
slavery question were perious. II was a sub
ject that might be whispered about, but to talk
of il in the market places and where "men most
do congregate" was a thing not to be thought
of. We have been taken aside on different &C.
casions. and talked to by prominent men. who
advised us TO be extremely careful not to discuss
the subject Of slavery with any degree Of pub
licity, because such discussions might reach the
ears Of the slaves and render them discontented
and rebelious. We always received such ad-
monitions in good part, although we were firm
ly resolved to avail ourselves Of every occasion,
public, as well as private, to utter the inextin-
guishable hostility we feel toward slavery, and
have felt toward IL ever since in early boyhood.
our heart was awakened to a keen sense of the
.bhsrrsHs H-s.ss 80 ass ss-ss-.s ~ s-~r1g ~ss-i
elites OF the worst kind prsctised on negroes
that we knew and respected. We are extremely
glad that men have begun to talk openly, and
right out all they feel and think in relation to
our peculiar domestic institution, for we are
sure that the more the subject Is talked of the
more numerous will the opponents of slavery
become. We therefore hope that all our friends
throughout the State will promote discussion.-l
But let them be extremely careful to keep alooI
from angry and embittered controversy, which |
always confirms the prejudices of an opponent
BE gentle, discreet, and yet firm. DO not hsz-
ard any wild propositions. Keep attention fired
on those evils which result from slavery and are
sufficiently manifest in every section of the

pie fact that an able paper, published In the |
heart Of oar State, with respectable subscrip- |

sion of Emancipation, is Of great service to the
cause. This fact is full Of enceuraeement.-i
And the fact that the articles published In This
