"While, however, he (lhe Examiner) protests
against having anything to do with ''party
movements Of any character" or Of engaging
'.direetly or indirectly in State conflicts" he
unblushingly ayows that sit is To meet thisques-
tom OF Convention and Emancipation in
Kentucky, that the Examiner was originated
and is continued. To be of the Conyentio par
ty and Of the Abolition party, 10th, he consid-
ers as being perfectly "fres from party allegi-
ance," as equivalent to being Of no party, and as
having nothing TO do In the "contests or party
movements" Of the times. He thiaks that to
interfere in revolutionzing the State, multiplying
its Constitution, and casting its fundamental
law into his Abolition moulds, is "RsifAer d.
rsefy nor indirectly 10 engege in its conflicts. '
Here, fellow citizens, you have anomaly, SO
rare and mystical az 10 pat to defiance all the
laws of logic and the powers of the human mind,
TO reduce il TO consistency with itself, with good
faith, or the principles Of justice or beneyo-
lence. But however the Examiner may mistify
its objecis and plans, thing is certain: il
aims, at all hazards, and byaa means, to have a
Convention in Kentucky, in order TO forge out
a Rep Constitution, in harmony icih The ristrs
Of modern Aboiifionisfs. To this single object
its whole attention is given and its whole ener-
gies directed, regardless of the cost or the con-
sequences 10 thu citizens of this Commonwealth.
But the Examiner does not stop with having
thus openly, land we may say daringiyl, svow-
ed its Abolition policy and aims, and It's utter
indifference 10 The safety and WELL being of the
people Of Kentucky. lie eKults at the mere
prospect of tie "eonfiet' which is 10 shake
this Commonwealth to its very centre, il Con-
ventOn is called; and, notwithstanding his dec

patton, he already luxuriates in all the internal
piv@sa1es 80 . ssrifs -. -shi~i ha hopes TO bear

What languages can we use in repIyl How
shall we meet snch opponent We can on
ly let him rave on. We can only warn others
not 10 manifest tae spirit he manifests. For it
is that, and THAI ALONE, which can make the
question Of Emancipation in kentucky an excl
ting one; which can, by any possibility, shake
the Commonwealth TO its centre. Are not our
citizens men of sense1 Then can they reason
together. Do they not know their own inter-
estsl Then can they debate upon them. Nor
need we, or any Que in thus reasoning, or deba-
ting, utter one unkind word, wake one unjust
suspicion, or put forth one untruthful charge
As for this writer's talk Of harvest Of gold,
&c. il is all stuff That article is not so plenty
nowadays, with any sect or party. We, GER
taiply, have not much TO do with H. And as
