speedily be acted upon, and the work put in

show different state of things from what will

roads, and good schools-if we would collect
more tolls on our State improvements-in short,

onward march, We must, at least, take the
trouble and be at the expense of ascertaining
what our actual resources are. We cannot ex-

Editors Of the Examiner:
GESTLENES-l have been waiting for some
time for call Of a convention Of the friends O
emancipation, previous to the coming canvas,
Of this great question before the people.
With difiidencs, in default Of others, make
few suggestions for your consideration.
Say that a meeting take place as soon a,
practicable in Louisville. because it is accessibI.
to all parts Of the State.
That all persons friendly to the cause of lib.
erty be members.
Let the convention sit with open or closed
doors, as may be determined on the ground.
s~Sh q saAsting saaass desirable for the fol.
lowing among many other reasons:
l. To gain the power which ever ensues from
organization.
2. To appoint treasurer. and committees OF
finance and correspondence.
3. To district the State, aud allot competent
debaters to each county, that every neighbor-
hood may be canvassed
4. By concert to take care that in mi nority
counties the vote should not be lost.
Your idea Of avoiding the discussion of plaur
Of emancipation is founded on good sense. By
"plans" we expose ourselves needlessly 10 the
fire Of the enemy and the "cross fire. of friends
wherever there is piH there is a ,oay."
1t is now for Kentucky, so eminently gifted
by nature, to determine whether she will sink
forever lower and lower down, by the side Of
South Carolina and Arkansas, into decay, i'm
potency and barbarism-or whether she will
ascend into the glorious sisierhood of such
States as Ohio, Massachusetts,, and. New York.
Whilst we urge every reason in favor of lib
erty towards the development of our physical.
moral, and intellectual well-being, let us not by
cowardice be driven from our true and safest
grounds-to liberate our slaves because il is
RIGHT.
The spirit Of the revOlutio nisng nations in
spires our causs-whatever ls of worth in chris.
tianity sustains un-the aspirations of the good
and great Of all lands are for us-con.cienes
upholds us--God is on our side. Let us then
hnish the work which our fathers have left N,
sacred and inyiolste--to make our country
