EMANCIPATION IN KENTUCKY In an article upon
the ultimate emancipation OF the slaves of KEN
lucky, the Louisville Corvte, OF the 2Sth ut, uses
the following remarks -" IL IS p ocaimed that
the cause OF emancipation Is virtually given up by
Its friends in this State, and that they do no
thing. Well, our Information is very different
from this; from all we can gather, Kentucky has
smancpators enough In II To carry the State by the
large vote ever given under the present constu-
uon All that they need, is to organize themselves
throughout the State, to me ct together, to UNDER
STAND one another, and unite IN harmonious action:
They do not desire to do injustice to tbs owner OF
slaves, nor will they willingly do so, but they feel
that their cause is vital one, and that it must
triumph. But suppose that this Is BOT SO, what
u,dl IA, are WE who hold that emancipation IS
we are not In majority! Are we to yield our
principles, and surrender right TO hold opinions,
because we are said to be In minority! There IS
not truth that is held sacred, that is cherished
and nourished as essential TO the wellbeing OF
society, that was not once IN minority; and If
the demand now made unOn the emancipators of
Kentucky had been yielded by the friends and de-
voices OF truth through all ages, the world would
ut this hour be under the DOMINION OF error, and
would be unfit to live in But the friends OF emancl-
patton know that they can engraft their principle
upon the new constitution, and no do1sches of cold
water will be likely to cool their ardOr, nor shock
their deliberate Judgment Let each man who
loves Kentucky and who wishes to secure PROS
perty to the next generation OF kentuckians, be-
firm, courageous, energetic and prudent, and all
will be well. Even II all that Is desired cannot bo
done, emancipation may put itself in position to-
hold the balance of power-let each trend do MS
duty, and do all in his power to deal Justly and
fairly with all men, and all will be well. ia

The DEArHBEp CONFESSION. man named Jos.
Kelsey died In this city on Friday night last at an
advanced age. He has resided here for more than
twenty years, and for most part OF the time has
kept an Inferior tavern, near the foot OF Main
street. He has been suspected several times OF
committing ,depredahons upon his guests, In tho
way OF plumber, and once was charged with muir
der, but escaped punishment, from want OF tes-
tmony sufficient to produce conviction. However,
when advised that his death was near at hand, he
manifested desire to have an acquaintance sent
for, that he might confess his crimes before he
died. The person sent for came, and the old man
confessed. From that person, who IS highly re-
spectacle we learn that the statement involves Sc
veral robberles OF guests at his house, and the
murder for which he was arrested many years ago,
and tried but not convicted The full particulars
of the confession have not been furnished us but
we learn that the old stated that he buried the
body on the premises. Some search has been
made, but with what success we are not informed.
During the search, on Saturday, several ARTICLES
were found secreted about the premises, which IN
dicated the truth Of the confession. Among other
things was an oval brass truck plate, much CORE
ded, which bears this inscription" Z. Baldwin,
mysterious disappearance either of the property
or person Of the owner, or perhaps both: These
comics eIons, think, need not be questioned, as
they have been forced from the dying man by the
power of conscience, under deep sense OF guilt.

A DrABoIlcAL ATTEMPT TO VIOLATE INNOCENCE.
We yeste rday gave some account of ayoung lady
named Fanny l.. PlaIsted, being found by officer
Starkweather, at the Lowell depot-she seeming
at the time to be laboring under the influence OF
insanity. 1t appears that that she left home, at
Royalton, Vermont, on Monday last; proceeded
to Lebanon. N. II and thence to Manchester. At
the latter place John Langley entered the cars,
and, observing her beauty, laid his vilanous plans
for making her his victim. He seated himself by
the side OF the innocent and unsuspecting GIRL and
was with her until their arrival this city; secur-
ing by his conversation that which he was 30 far
from deservng-a share Of her confidence He
then got her into cab with him, under pretension
that he was going to find respectable boarding
house. They went to disreputabls house In Ana
street. and there Langley attempted forclbly to
plete his diabolica purpose, by violating her per-
son; but fortunately the girls struggles and loud
outcres thwarted him; assistance came, and she
was rescued. The villain Langley made his
