Slavery I'm Kentucky.

The people OF Kentucky, having decided TO call
Convention 10 modify their Constitution, are
now discussing the question OF Emancipation with
much eanestness. The question seems % be,
whether the State shall fix a time alter which all
shall he free, or after which all born shall be free
at a certain age or whether any steps shall be
taken towards Liberation. The GeOrget0EH Herald
contains a communication from George w John
son. urging all sorts of objections against the sbo-
lition OF Slavery in any form. Here is one Of his
paragraphs:
GENTLEMEN have no words 70 express the INFINITE
scorn sud contempt which feel, when hear native

they are worthy OF you. We have set our hearts on
