How a Kentuckian speaks.

The following extract is from the letter of
a correspondent of the " Louisville Examin-
en-" in which the prospective emancipation
Of the slaves in that State is strongly urged.
We recognize the right Of owners of slaves
to their property as guaranteed to them by
the constitution and laws but we do not re-
c%ognise, nay we utterly deny their right TO
entail the curse of slavery upon our children's
children TO the latest posteTity.
For forty years they have tried the expert
ment, and what has it resulted In EVIL,
and only evil to the blacks themselves, and
tenfold worse evils to the whites. This is so
undeniably true, that we will not stop a mo-
ment to argue what has beenagain and again
demonstrated. Now, we ask for a change
w point to New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, in short, to all the eastern States
where slavery once existed as it now does
among US, and ask that a similar system OF
gradual emancipation, which has resulted so
benefcially there, be tried in Kentucky. 1t
is not even a trial, it is a certainty, that pre-
cisely the same results will follow enamel
patton here. We have here at home, in our
very midst, a surer mine of wealth than all
the gold mines of California. Put a clause
In our new COUSlltullOu hAinE q PoiiNu w
in which slavery must cease, and that mo-
ment one hundred millions are added to the
real wealth of the State. Then the Eastern
and European capitalists who never have and
never will invest a dollar in a slave State
will begin 10 enquire as to the advantages
| Kentucky possesses for mechanic and man
| ufacturing purposes. Our abundant Goa
mines, our rich and inexhaustible veins o
iron ore, our fertile lands, now comparative
" unsought after and unknown, will fine
ready purchasers, at greatly enhanced prices
The busy hum of free labor in all its varied
pursuits will resound through the land. I'm
migration instead Of being, as now, repealed
will be attracted and bring wealth and count
less social blessings in its train, and soor
Kentucky will be redeemed, regenerateC
and disenthralled by the genius of universe
emancipation," and take her natural position
as one of the first States in our glorious Un
ion.
They, indeed, must be blind to the sign
of the times who do not perceive that the il
s~titution of slavery is a thing Of by-gone day
that it is an obsolete idea, whose doom
written, and the fulfllment Of that doom
process of rapid completion. Where, in a
christendom, does it now find an advoca
beyond the limits of those States which st
tolerate it, Reason is against it; the gent,
of our holy religion is against it all past g
p~erience is against it; facts are against
and in these days of intense activity of min
when light and information on all sdbjeo
are difused with lightning rapidity,can su
an incubus be much longer tolerated by Il

From The Mass. Spy.
A voice from the South.

We make the following extract from the
q" Democrat" published at Fellowsvills,
Preston Co. Va. When we find such sem
timents as these, uttered in the heart of the
greatest slave-nolding State in the Union,
how it puts to shame the Northern hunkers
of both the old parties, in view OF their sub
serviency to the slave power. Speaking OF
the defeat Of Colts resolution against the
slave trade in the District of Columbia, the
editor says:
"Through the jockeying Of Southern mis-
representers in Congress, and the Grabbing OF
| Northern siGpes, the bill abolishing slavery
and the slave trade in the District has been
lost, and, TO the shame Of our Republic, we
have refused to elevate Washington to the
level of Tunis and Constantinople! Let US
hide our heads under our mothers aprons:
-Mahomedanism has out-stripped us "
Another article on the same subject thus
hits, right and left:
"Gott's Resolution. In the House on the
10Th, Colts Resolution, abolishing slavery
and the Slave Trade in the District, was kill
led-yeas 80, nays 100! This may sbe re-
corded as the fruits of the bullying, treason
able Southern Caucus. The North had lis
tened to the calls of humanity, had blushed
at the finger of scorn which a world steadily
held towards us, that we allowed our proud

stood up to our knees in slavery while con-
irving laws for boosted freedoms the Norh
appeared 10 regard these signs and resolved
to put an end to the black repugnance. She
commenced bravely-but behold the slave
master waved his hand and the white slaves
of free States cowed, grabbed, crawfshed:-
doughheaded towards!
The North should no longer hurrah about
slavery, as hers are the verlest slaves In the
country if not in ChTistendom."
The Richmond Republican, slavery pa
per, thus catches it from the Democrat:
"Kinder So So. Father Jasper once enter
tanned the notion Of shoeing his ass with
gold, and decorating his ears with jewels,
that he might stand valuable in market: and
now the Richmond Republican is endeavor-
ing to justify negro slavery by quotations
from the Bible. This mode of quackery
cannot be too strongly reprobated, Of bear
hugging the Scriptures for detached titbits
with which to support every absurd doctrine
men may incline to-"

The Change.

]. R. Giddings, in a recent speech at
Washington, thus referred to the great change
which had taken place in that body, and in
other departments Of government within a
few years.
When first / took my seat in this Hall, the
petitions Of our people asking to be relieved
from the burden, the guilt, and disgrace of
supporting the slave-trade, were not received,
nor were they permitted to be read but they
were treated with the most marked contempt.

"Slavery shall perish write that word
In the blood that she has split;
Perish hopeless and abhorred,
Deep In ruins as in guilt"
Twenty years hence when the free States,
formed out of our immense possession in
Oregon, California and New Mexico, shall
have taken their place in our confederacy,
where will Kentucky then be found, If slave
ry be continued among usf Degraded, inn
poverished, and in ruins she will glimmer as
a star of the 30th magnitude, and States
whose very names are now unknown TO us
will then take precedence Of her.
And who are they that arrogate TO them
selves the right to entail upon us and our
children this bitter curse! They are Ken
tuckians, freemen, slave owners, (the words
sound strangely together.) /, too, am a Ken
tuckian, a freeman, but not a ~slave-owner.-

cumstanced, and whose rights are as sacred
as theirs. Do they, ] ask, pretend to rule US

day too has passed) ruled their subjects, by

so. The welfare and happiness OF my chill
dren are as dear to me as those of any slave
owner can be to him, and if this blighting,
whitening curse is to be entailed on them, let
us, one and all, pledge ourselves that we
will exhaust every legal and peaceful means
of ayerling it before we submit to this sad
necessity.

Catholics Of this country intend to invite
the Pope to take up his residence in the

people the duty of holding "No union with
Shareholders" either in Church or State, as
the only consistent position an Abolitionist
can occupy, and as the best means for the de-
struction of slavery it will, so far as its lin
its permit, give a history OF the daily progress
of the anti-slavery cause-exhibit the policy

and leading Democrat of Alabama, has
addressed, through the press, a letter to
Gov. Chapman, urging the propriety and
necessity of a law 10 prevent the farther
immigration Of slaves into that State,
either for trade or settlement. The Ala

written, and there are many reasons why
such a law would prove of advantage if
its execution was practicable"

SLAVE TRADING IN MASSACHUSETTS,
Few persons are aware of the ramifica-
ton of slavery through our system of
trade at the North. Here are direct influ-
ences against freedom existing among us,
which make themselves felt whenever
the question ofslavery is discussed. For
this reason, ifno other, il is time that all
,raficking in slaves should be discount
tenanced by law TO the extent of our
| State Jurisdiction. The subject will be
brought up in our Legislature, and it is
we'll TO fix public attention upon the facts.
A Southern trader wishes 10 purchase
goods in Boston, or Lawrence, on credit,
and offers his note, with a mortgage on
his slaves, as security. This is not UNI
frequently taken A lumber dealer not
long since, in this city represented him
self as having sold pine TO a Southerner,
and secured himself in negroes. Again,
q Massachusetts manufacture wishes 10
secure the cotton crop Of a Mississippi
planter. He advances cash three months
in anticipation, and takes security or
plantation and slaves. Here only one
party to the transaction is in this Com
monwealth. Must he therefore escap
, the penalty?
. As a consequence of taking slaves q
l security, they must sometimes inevitabl
$ fall into the hands Of the M~assachuset
citizen, who may send them TO the au'
ton block and receive the product
Is their sale. England has passed laws
gainst her citizens traficking in slaves.'
IN How far has Massachusetts the right
no do the same
90 What wonder, while u merchai
T. and manufacturers are thus stained wi
pit slaveholding, that the moral tone of o
Sc large cities on the subject of slave
m should be SO depressed? To our Legi
le ~lature, then, belongs the duty of finding
remedy for so greala dishonor and GRIN
resting upon the COMMUNICATED
o Republican.
