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

In lev weeks me urst year OF tne Bkafni-
ner will have been completed.
Ii is no easy task to start an snii-slaysry pa
per in a slave State; il is far harder one TO
conduct it there az to gain partially the public
ear. The success Of the Examiner, partial
though it be, proves thst both may be done.
There is, now, freedom Of discussion in Ken
lucky on the subject of slavery, and large and
increasing portion Of her people, are declaring
for emancipation.
i find, however, owing 10 domestic causes,
and business arrangements. that / cannot re-
main steadily in the city, and, therefore, that
must abandon the POat Il have held, as Editor in
chief. But this can be a regret to none; for it
viii be filled by my associate. r. CosBY, Esq,
Rev. ]. H. HETwOOD. and Professor NoBLr
BtTLEa, men, to whose counsel and pens,
am deeply indebted for whatever Of good the
paper may have accomplished. This arrange
msnt, indeed, cannot fail to give to the EKAmi-
nsr greater variety and vigOr, and thus TO make
il more effective and influential in the good
cause
My position, hereafter, will be that Of Cores
POnding Editor, and in that, shall continue to
whatever ability may possess I would not
be too sanguine. Bat, believe. the great quss-
ton Of Emancipation will be debated all over
the State, and in the convention, during this,
and the next year, and that II will be carried, or
else left 10 the Legislature 10 determine ssAeA
and kOH slavery shall cease, in Kentucky.
The future is bright with hope. An earnest
ha~r,v enthusiasm rnusf sscurs n
the Border slave States universal freedom. Let
the friends Of Emancipation make that effort!
Let them manifest in thought, word, act, this
entt asizsm.
&c. VAUGHAN.
In the foregoing article our readers are inform
q ed OF a new Arrangement in regard TO the editor
shIPOf the Examiner ID Affords US much pleas
uTe 10 assure them that the arrangement in
wolves no essential change in the character OF
the paper Mr. VAUGHAN Will continue to write
regularly and constantly. Every week The Elk.
smineT VIII be ennched by articles from his pen.
OF tie value Of those articles we need say moth
ing in anticipation. Our readers VIII need no
other guarantee Of their character, than Is az
fODded by the columns OF the paper during the
past year.
As heretofore, so hereafter, the great object Of
the Examiner will be Emancipation. Believing
that slavery Is an evil and bitter thing, tern
bic wrong TO black and white. that il stands in
our midst Upas tree, by whose deadly poison
the whole atmosphere Of our State Is infected,
our hearts prompt Us to do what can for It's
removal.
To THIS single end all our efforts viii be d.
rected- To demonstrate the necessity, the du-
y, the pIscuesbiIty, Of Emancipation. this i
the one great object which We, as editOTs OF the
Examiner, propose 70 ourselves
Not that we would have the pspeTnsHOw, and
exclusive, paper Of one idea; on the contrary
we desire that II may be characterised by lib
ersl spirit and by is fsithfulness 10 every good
word and work. Bun while We seek 10 render
the Examiner interesting as a record Of passing
events, isnd 10 adOm ITS columns BY flowers
gathered from the vsno0s fields Of literature, we
cannot for q moment suffer ourselves to lose
sight Of the great object, Emancipation. To
TINS all things must be secondary and s1bservi-
ent. Freedoms holy form must always be the
central hguTe upon our canvass.
II Is our earnest desire that, IN lsboTing TO adj
vance the cause Of Emancipation, We may act
wisely, justly and kindly, "giving," as was SAID
IN the introductory article Of the Examiner emo
just cause Of offence to a single human being
yet free, alike from that timidity which would
cnnge before error, or that violence, which
would battle with il an anger"
We offer our columns freely TO the fnends OF
Emancipation: nay, TO the enemies Of Emanci-
patton, also, If such there are. In accordance
with the splnt of our motto, ready to
prove ali things that We may hold fast that which
IL good.
The cOlOhizsiiOnist may here present has ia
vonte scheme, and the advocate OF immediate
Emancipation, has. Any and every plan shsll
receive respectful consideration, provided only, /
that il be offered IN that trufhfulness and kndli-
ness Of spint which become the friends Of hn-
msnity.
Toourselyes we reserve the night Of comment
ias freely upon all plans, and Of advocsting in /
due time, and TO the best OF our ability, that
which seems to Ne adapted 10 accomplish most
speedily, justly, and humanely, the grand OBJ
iect Of or hope and labor, universal Emsnoipa-
tiOn. Intent iupon Tins end, We recognise no
party, sect Freedoms cause is our cause,
freedom fIlends our friends.
