Organization.

LIST. Shall the Emarcipationists Of Kentucky /
form a general and permanent organization
By all means. The ultimate success OF the
cause imperstiveiy demand organization. "But,
have we reason TO hope for success even with /
organization 2" Never had the friends of any |
great and good cause better grounds Tor hope
fuIn-ss and conf ience than the Emancipation |
lists Of Kentucky.
The excellence ofthe cause Itself Is pledge |
Of success. A nobler cause never enlisted the |
sympatbies nor comma nied the admiration Of
men. Il is the cause Of freedom, Of humanity, |
of right. and as surely as freedom is destined 10
triumph and right 10 prevail, so surely must the
cause Of Emancipation 60 on conquering and
10 conquer.
Then how great encouragement have the
friends Of Emancipation in the progress already
made Once almost prohibited subject, now II
A. freely discussed in every town, village and
farm house. Once spoken Of in whispers, now
defended boldly, fearlessly, upon the stump.
Consider, too, the number and character OF The
advocates Of emancipation. AS we stated last

pslion candidates were run, upwards oil lu'Vo'
characterization votes were cast According 10

and host of others which at once occur to the
mind snow, TO say the least, that the cause OF
emancipation has enlisted in Its behalf many Of
the best minds and noblest hearts Of Kentucky.

Of to-morrows's sun Is not more certain than
The uItim ate triumph Of emancipation. But In
order that that triumph may be facilitated, or
sanizalion IS urgently demanded.
What kind Of organization shall be formed
81 Tneorpaniz alton which We would suggest Is
something Of the following nature: We would
have Kentucky Emancipation Society. Let
the headquarters Of this Society be at some GEN.
trail, suitable place, Lexington If You please.
Then we would have branches, auxilisries, OF
the Society in every county Of the State Let
tie sole object Of this Society be emancipation,
and let the labors OF the Society be altogether
and exclusively directed TO the accomplishment
of this object, / thoroughly TO convince the
public mind Of the rightfalness, the desirable
pe-s and the p-scticabiIiIy Of emancipation.
To Effect this object an organ would be neces'
ssry. That organ Il might seem desirable to
the members OF the Society 10 have at some
other poi ot than Louisville, and, without dobui

useful paper. We desire to have il sustained
and continued, but though We love the Exami
liner much we love the cause more. and we stanC
ready TO do whatever may honorsbly advances
that cause. II by having the organ Of the as
socia,ion published at another place greater
concentration OF sclion could be effected, deep
er interest be awakened and more accomplished
for the cause than is now done, most cheerfulll
would we surrender the Examiner. Whereyel

We have thus spoken out our thought freely
and csndidly. We believe that an association

men. In the course of few years a system OF
operations Of this kind would be followed by
wonderful results. The public mind would

Of emancipation. The subject would be 90
thoroughly discussed and so thoroughly under

Of action, finally determined upon would be
characterised mole by wisdom than by beneyo-
iepce.
We are well aware that Society, such as we
have proposed, would meet with opposition,
fierce and unreIentiBg. Such opposition any
action tending towards emancipation must ex-
