The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1848-05-27

Welke honest opposition. We like even thai
Wiliul prejudice which, blind TO all progress, o.
the necessity Of any change, stands up dogged
" for things as they are. Nor dove care for the
hot words. OF angry censlues, which men thu:
influenced, pour out against us. Butrleliberate
misrepresentation-c charges founded, not upon
our opinions OF stalements, but upon gToss exag-
geraiions, OF an evident, not 10 say "puTposed'
misoonstmctiOn, Of them, no manly mind can
approve o. justify. Meet Us fairly. Pit argu-
IneHi against argument; enthusiasm against en-
thusiasm; action against action. We are ready
for such contest, and willing to bide the issue
Of II.
Some time ago, 70 cOuect misappTehenslOn IN
certain quarters, especially amongoUI delEocrafie
fnends, we said:
The Examiner i strictly an anb-slayeY pa
per, and the organ and exponent Of the Emsn-
cIpstlOn movement IA Kentucky. II Is free from
all party allegiance. Ii has nothing 10 do with
political contests; whatever We InseTt IN regard
% men OF psnies, weinsert as paTt OF the history
Of passing events; and nothing would induce Us
to engage directly or Indirectly, in State con-
fiicts, presidential contests oTpaTty movements
Of any character
"Next August the people Of this State are 10
vote whether they Will have a Convention. A
COayeHfiOH sriH be held; of this result nc man OF
any parry entertaIns doubt When this is de
cided, then viii anse The great question, shall
Kentucky emsncipatel II is TO meet tins ques-
ton 10 be fully prepared, not only TO send the
Examiner wherever II may be needed, but 10 print
aud circulate tracts through the State, 50 that
every man in every county may think and act
earnestly beso0ght, and do now earnestly beseech
our fnends 10 AID and sustain u.s.
What was the simple plain object Of these
paragraphs Is there an intelligent mind that
dOubtsl We suppose not We happen TO be
Wings. Some friends said: eve fear you will
lend your paper, and whatever influence you
have 10 the Wing cause, and the Wing candi-
date. We do moi say this has been done; but we
think see tendencies that look TO this. We
cannot support you If you do.Y Now 10 meet
this objection, TO stop il once for all, we wrote
what we have quoted above. Could any
one mistake our meaning? Read the following,
copied from paper published in Kentucky, and
say;
"That all this Is true of the Examiner, we
have never had doubt He cares not what be-
comes OF the manifold interests Of the citizens Of
Kentucky, nor what sort Of a Constitution may
be established, just so that he can succeed in
grating abolitOnisIn into the fundamental law
Of the State. He cares not what CONFLICTS oc-
cur in the State, now or hereafter, or whether
they terminate peaceably OF in blood, so that his
favOute scheme0f abolitioaism is earned into ef-
feet He has no sympathles with either Of the
great political parties, and cares not which are
in power, and is therefore prepared to go with
either or neither, 70 establish his one idea Of alb
olitionis.n.' r
Con this paragraph. See how prejudices are
appealed 10. Marx how bitter hate is eonjured
up. And for whsti Because the writer, forget
ting what is due to himself and TO truth, forces a
construction upon what we said which we never
dreamedof, and which nosane man woulddraw.
He says, &
che cares not what becomes Of the manifold
interests Of Kentucky, Of the citizens Of Ken

sbolitlsnism into the fundamental law Of the

What paper more earnest than the Examiner
in support Of the real interests Of the city,
Siaie9 For whatever may swell the wealth,
happiness, and population Of Kentucky, we are
earnest, sntinng advocates. Yet in the face Of
ihis, and Of proof regularly exhibited Of The exis
