There are moments in the history Of State

verse, her progress is sure to retrOgrade.
To say that these moments do not occur, or
that these changes cannot be made, would be to
assert an untrufh. Here, and now, Kentucky
is called upon by every consideration Of hu-
manity, and Of interest," TO rid herself Of the BIZ

Difference in favor Of Hamilton co. $3.50, 765
Now, if there be any confidence to be placed
in these calculations, and there is at least some
approximation TO truth in them, the commerce
Of Kentucky is at very low ebb. As a COM
mereial State, she cuts a very poor figure indeed,
by the side Of her younger sister. And the only
way we can account for The fact, that she looks
upon herself with so much self-cmiplacency, in
this, her low estate, is by supposing that she is
most profoundly ignorantof her true condition, as
well as the position which she ought to occupy
III this Republic. 1t is probable that the most Of
our people, at this hour, believe the commerce
of Kentucky to be nearly, if not quite, equal to
that Of Ohio. Whereas, there is no question
but that the commerce Of the one county Of
Hamilton, in Ohio, is larger than that of the
whole Commonwealth Of Kentucky. A little
figuring with the materials which we have fur
nished in this article, viii establish this position
beyond a reasonable doubt. But fancy hear
