The young Emperor of Austria has gissn his
subjscts csnstitrtion, undsr which the various
provincss, kingdoms, prineipalities, and pso-
pIea Of that vsst empire are hsncsforsh TO be
governed. II iss remarkably liberal instru-
ment, and, il its various provisions are carried
out successfully, despptism win be kznishsd be-
yond Che borders Of Austria. Among other ia-
estimable guarantees. she new constitution pro-
vides for the freedom or conscience, the liberty
Of speech and the press, trial by jury. the aboli-
ton Of all forms Of slavery, the education Of
the people. and the almost universal extension
of suffrage. s.,s.
We hail this Offering to the spirit Of the age.
as Of immense importance to the welfare Of the
thirty-five millions Of souls now subject to the
sceptre of the Austrian emperor. For several
centuries Austria has been the very centre Of
despotc influence. She has written her dark
DEGREES in the blood Of millions. For the last
thirty years. under the gloomy auspices Of Met.
ternich, the arch-minister Of oppression and
wrong, she has been one Of the most miserable
engines Of abuse, corruptions, and inhumanity
that ever dsgraced the civilized world. Until
the influence of liberal principles reached Wen
ma year ago, and when the imbecile emperor
and the INSCRIPTIONS minister sought safety In
flight, Austria was relied on by all the advocates
Of iespotism throughout Europe as being the
mort relentless Of all the foes Of human Free
dom. Bat her people have displayed spirit Of
opposition TO tyranny within the past few
months from which their rulers seem to have
learned the valuable lessen that, II they would
retain life and power they must make liberal
concessions to the rights of the masses. This
they have now formally done IN a written con-
stitution, constitution which, If administered
in accordance with its provisions, will make
Austria one Of the most free of all the coun-
tries in Europe.
The new constitution was published in Wen
ma on the seventh Of last month, and was most
raPturously received by the people. spon-
taaeous illumination of the capital took place
that night, and every portion Of the immense
city blazed with light
We regard this as victory Of freedom. and
have but little doubt il will result in great, nu-
merous and extensive msliorations of the con-
dition Of the masses. The cause of freedom is

most interesting occasions Of the kind that has

The London Chronicle has some particulars
OF the shaving operations on the coast Of Africa,
portion Of which Is given below:
1--WE have advices from the slave coast Of
western Africa, to the end Of the past year. BY
which We learn that the traffic in human hssh
was very much increased. The past season on
the northern part Of the coast, and At the Gall

and one by the PantaIoOn under American CO

We lops, therefore, that the convention will

Kentucky may be reached. that all our citizens
may have the means of forming correct opinions
and defending those oPinEons when formed

mine to employ four or five able men to discuss
on the stump, the subject of Emancipation
from this time until delegates are chosen TO the
State Convention. The spoken word reaches

or reused by newspaper or essay The bold,
manly, powerful speaker moves and sways and
bends 10 his will, vast mutitudes- From va
riOus quarters, friends write TO Us, expressing
in most earnest manner, their desire that the
Convention may determine to employ able
speakers 10 canvass the State. Thus writes
friend from the Green River section, and SINH
lar thoughts are expressed by friends in Liy
IngstOn, Davies and many other counties:
GLASGOW, April 18th, l849.
DEAR SIR:-The friends here think IL highly
important TO the success of Emancipation, shat
the subject should be diseased from the stump
throughout the State-and 10 effect that, we
are willing 10 give our mite towards paying
competent men. With this we may expect
much good from the present agitation, without
it, but little, false impressions are made OH
many men who can be ressched in no other way
than from the stump.
We have thus freely expressed some Of our
feelings and wishes in regard to the action of
the Convention. OF course we have no power
to dictate to the Convention, and we certainly
have no desire. even IL we had the power We
have great confidence in the wisdom and phi
laDlhrOpy and justice Of the men who will com
pose that meeting
As humble citizens Of kentucky We have
expressed our wishes and hopes upon a subject
of vital importance, and we close by repeating
our conviction that measures will be adopted,
which will rebound to the welfare of the State
and the best interests Of humanity.

II is with pride and pleasure that we present
to our readers the following letter. We feel
that in publishing it We confer an inestimable
favor upon all lovers Of good morals and all i'd
mirers Of elegant literature. In vain might ne
search the volumes Of famous letters from the
days of Cicero and Atticus TO the time of the
gentle and melancholy Cowper, for an episile
combining so many excellencies both Of matter
and Of manner. How pure its style-how clss-
steal its expressions! Brief, as all good letters
should be, yet how comprehensive! The spirit,
which shines through every line, how gentle,
winning and affectionate. What perfect har-
mony between the authors breathing thoughts
and his burning words. Happy indeed do we
esteem ourselves in being able 10 make this gem
knOwn TO the public. The 1iscoverer of Cali
fOrnia's goid-stream placeri could not have
experienced such emotions as thrilled our
bOsoms when we perceived the value of the
treasure in our hands. The raptures of a
scholar at the recovery of a long.Ost letter of
Erasmus sink into indifference and GOODNESS
when compared with the agonies Of JOY which
agitated our hearts at the moment, in which we
knew that to US was granted the inestimable
privilege of presenting to an admiring world a
fresh and living letter Of the living and rnvins
--afuTTIns.
We hope that hereafter all persons who may
be favored even with line from this arniable
and venerable author will preserve il with rev. |
srential care. What a priceless treasure a
volume Of the "MulIins' letters would lie. In
the presence of such letters, the "Adar,s Let
ters," the letters of Madame Sevigne and
Horace WalPOle, will grow pale as starr grow
pale before the brilliant sun Grassy Creek
