KENTUCKY---a Good Sign.

It is refreshing to hear of such things as the
following in Kentucky-twin sister of Vermont
in the Union,-and in Wing meeting, too.-
We long for the day when Kentucky shall fra
ternize with Vermont in perfected Freedom.
The Louisville Examiner says :-On Saturday
evening last meeting of the friends of Henry
Clay was held in the court house in this city.
The large room in the court house was crowded.
With the political objects Of the meeting, we as
editors, have, of course, nothing to do. But we
wish to refer TO the eloquent remarks made by
the orator OF the evening, Charles L. Thruston,
Esq, on the subject Of slavery. Mr. r. said
that the old questions of bank, protection, &C.,
had given way to more important one-that of
slavery. Every one might see that this was to
be the great question. He went on to speak o {
some of the evils of slavery, and exclaimed,
." Would 10 God we were rid of nm Here tho
pent up feelings of those present burst forth in
the most enthusiastic applause. We feel that
that meeting has pronounced the doom of sla-
very-that then, at least the voice of the people
was tie voice of God Let no one say now
that our prospects are gloomy. Mr.. Thruston
said he HOPED an emancipation clause would be
inserted in the new Constitution. Here again
he was interrupted by the Inos hearty applause.
This may be considered the first vote taken on
the subject, and not voice was lifted up in de-
fence OF slavery.

REFORM IN EUROPE.

PRUSSIA. On the morning Of 18th March all
was quiet in the capital. At 10 o. m. deputa-
ton of the people expressed TO the King their
wishes. At p M a crowd assembled to receive
a kind reply the military attended to preserve
order--a chance shot was iired-ihe people at
tackled the troops, and all night bloody fight
ragged in all the streets Of Berlin, both the people
and the military pretty evenly disputing the
ground. On the morning of the 10Th King
Frederick William withdrew the troops from the
streets, and pardoncd the people who had resis.
ted them; in the afternoon he dismissed his
Ministers and called in now men, and the burglI-
ers were armed. On the Goth all political pris-
oners were set free. The most remarkable fact
remains: on the night Of the 18th, while the
fight was going on, the King prepared proc
lamation that henceforth Germany must become
one federal State, with federal constitution and
cnminon army and navy and common CONNER
cial regulations. This has been published, and
on the 9th Of April the States general Ia sort
of Congress) is to assemble to deliberate on the
subject. The people cried amen most heartily
AUSTRIA. The Emperor of Austria, too, came
10 TERMS quickly. OH tne lJIH vi muTCn ne
proclaimed the liberty of the press National
Guard, and Congress TO form Constitution.
HOLLAND. The King of Holland beat all his
royal brethren. Without waiting for the people
to break out, or even consulting his ministers, he
sent message to the Legislative Chamber di-
recting them to prepare for more liberal institu-
tons.
ITALY. The Pope, too, has been prompt: he
has made constitution pretty liberal for a
pope, too, but not just the thing for Yankees.
His senate consists of the College Of Cardinals,
and is perpetual; the Pope appoints also High
Council a council Of deputies is to be elected
by the people, though the elective franchise is
narrowly restricted the Papal religion ia inds-
pensablc oil laws must be approved by all the
departments and by the Pope.
This speed shows that the people know their
rights to good extent and also their strength
the Kings know it, too, and dare not resist
There can be no general war in Europe. Great
changes will ensue, and there is every prospect
that they will be peacefully made. The eastern
world has been growing wiser; let not the
Western wheel backward. 1t is sad to think that
the western world is tending nightward, while
the sun of freedom is preparing to rise in the
east There, regal power is waning here, it is
waxing stronger ard stronger.

RAILROADS.

The bill granting bridge a Rouse's Point,

man, Gu inst
Our good friend of the Waichman has some
means of getting information, ont Bridge qafs

morning Of the 9Th instant (the day the Watch
man went TO press) the bill in question had not
been reported By The Committee 10 The Senate Il

humble opinion, is little likely 10. .NouS Uer-

That the bill may have been favoraby report
ed since Wednesday last, VIC consider not inn
probable, as the same Committee have it in charge
who once made favorable report upon it !; &c.
&c. burlington Free Press
On the 9th of April, when we made our stale
ment, the bill had been referred to a committee,
which reported in it's favor, and the bill had been
passed IN The Committee Of The Whole Senate, or
else the reporter fer the New-York Tribune was
very much mistaken. He was our "means of
getting information" Now, to finish the story
when the committee of the whole reported the
bill, Mr.. Whallon moved to recommit for hear
ing. This was agreed to; the bill again recev-
ed favorable report, and finally went over TO the
next session, MS was stated IN our last-we have
no doubt for want of time, simply. The oppo-
nents of the bill evidently feared to meet it on
its merits, and hence STAYED it off by the pre-
tence OF new hearing in committee.
1t is worth remarking that the committees Of
the Senates of New York and Vermont have
both decided in favor of The Bridge.

GEN. TAYLOR has written another letter.

locoioco State Convention, and was as follows.
BATON RoueE, La. Feb. 6, 1s4S
DEAR SrR,-Your letter Of the l2h ult., in
relation TO the next Chief Magistrate of the coun-
try, has just reached Inc. In reply to which
have 10 state, so far as | am concerned, have
not changed the position first occupied, as re-
CARDS my being candidate for that high office.
AT the same time, such has been the indications
of the people, irrespective of party as evinced by
large meetings in many of Il e States in favor Of
my being candidate for the Office in question,
as to justify me- without departing from the
course have marked out 10 pursue, 10 accept
nomination from a National Contention, should
such be held, for the Presidency, from The Whigs
or Democrats, or from both, should they think
proper 10 tender H. without bring Pledged or euen
considering myself so, 10 adUance The uietos or
opinions of either. And again repeat, have
no aspirations for civil office, and am only p can
didatc so far as the good people of the country
Lave made me so; and those who are not willing
to vote for me without pledges for the Presidency
let them cast their votes a, the proper time for
those who will make them. And should one Of
them be preferred to myself, and honored with
ttat high station, it will be neither matter of
disappointment or modification to me.
With consideration Of high respect and es-
teen, your obedient servant.
u. TAYLOR.
There rs still one party that Gen. TAYLOR
has not said word about. Perhaps after all he
favors that party: suppose the abolilonisrs
should write letter to Old lack. There's
nothing like trying. Gen. Taylor's private o.
pinions are rather Whigish-so with the abolit-
ionists; but he won't commit himself to us-so
the abolitionlsts. But the abotionists have ex-
pIlcit views against Slavery: has the General
will he take the ground OF the trainers of the
Constitution on that subject? will he have the
Federal Government let Il alone where it already
exists? If he will come up 10 the scratch here,
we'll think seriously of supporting him. there
would be genuine Whiggcry enough in that po-
stion to warrant pretty liberal concessions in
other things.
