The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1849-04-14

bs fsw, while the n,sny are said to Be firmly
that no charge can be made at pre-
'ent In the relation Of MASTER and slave without
injury to both. We sincerely hope the eman-
sipstiO nists will nee: at Frankfort in such force
hat We shall hear no more Of the paucity Of
their numbers during the present contest
As general rule, the emancipa tionists are
eminenty respectable men, who are actusted by
a sense of duty. In point Of ability. they will
compare sdvantageously with any party our
Commonwealth has ever seen. They are men
Of reason, reflection, and rsading-men who
have used their eyes 70 observe and their own
minds to deduce conclusions from their obser-
vations. Moreover, among them there are
many both good and practical men. Your
man who can see no plan by which so mon
sirous curse as slavery can be removed. and
Is therefore in favor Of a general folding Of
hands, and Of permitting slavery to 60 on and
to increase, until all prudent men shall run
away from Il affrighted at the horrors il pre-
sents to them-such man is your true vision
airy, whatever he may fancy himself We are
for action because we have faith in the power
Of man to rid himself Of any evil that may
clog his progress upward and onward. We do
not doubt that society is able, by union Of all
the energies of heart, head and hand, to extir-
pate any wretched system that the perversity Of
Of the men Of the past may have intro
troduced. Whenever the people Of Kentucky
resolve that slavery shall cease to overshadow
their soil, and 10 stagrate every social activity,
the means OF effecting its removal will not be
very hard to reach. Light and knowledge have
too far advanced and have secured too many
impregnable fortresses TO be overwhelmed by
ignorance or driven into exile by the minions o.
darkness. II is too late period In the world
history to conclude that man suffers from an,
Cause which he has not the power to control
These men who are everlastingly talking o
difficulties represent long since dead and buret
age. The doctrine Of this era Is that all evil
are manageable, renewable or carable. 1t ha
been said thousands Of times that where Their
Is will there is a way. This is one of tn
truest of all human utterances. Before tn
sublime force Of the will Of society, all evils
however venerable OF imposing, must bow. -
Slavery in Kentucky is tremendous evil. Tn
roots Of the system are intertwined about ever,
interest in the State. But yet IL is removable
and that toe without causing any very porten
tous effect, whenever the hearts Of the peopl
are resolved on its removal.
But such remarks are someH haG foreign Z
our present purpose, which is 10 urge on eae
ema neipationist the duty Of attending the con
vention Of our friends at Frankfort. II vii
doubtless be an occasion Of the most profOun
interest. Men will there be seen from ever
section Of the State animated by the common
purpose OF oblitenting from our Common
wealth a great wrong in the shortest practica
bic period. Men will there meet with eac
ether to find that though they have come /
contact but once In their lives, yet they are er
tremely alike in sentiment, in conviction, an
in hope. Each man who goes there will fes
his heart nerved with fresh vigor, and wi
thenceforwsrd exPend his energies more liber
ally in the promotion Of cause on which u,
smile Of Heaven rests, and for whose succe,
rnany. very many, prayers are hourly upbOrll
/.
Il Is the duty Of es.h emancipstionist 10 a,
tend the convention. II is farther the duty I
each one TO use his influence TO induce hi
neighbOrs to attend it too. IL men take pleasu
in leaving home and its duties to attend mere
political conventions, how much more willing
should anti-savery men leave their homes
attend a convention which may be destined Z
exert a lasting infuenee over a subject dear
their hearts proportioued to the number in al
tendance. No occasion Of the kind has eva
taken place in Kentucky. Many things wi
there be presented to awaken q deep interest il
the breast Of every genuine lover Of his species
Men Of fame will be there, and ether men IN
known TO fame will be there too, who, in all III
qualities Of head and heart from which desirs
BILE renown proceeds, are worthy to rank wit
the worthiest. But the great Grafton is tina
Of the duty which each citizen owes TO a good
a noble cause. IL the convention should prov
to be weak in numbers, it will shade the hope
OF every friend Of humanity, ard darken on
prospects at a time when encouragement /
most needed. A full attendance, IN attendanc
Of thousands will give TO the emancipation
csuse an Importance which will be Of the high
est utility in the coming struggle between tn
advocates Of freedom and the advocates o
sinvery. Again, We insist that every one VIII,
can possibly leave home, shall present himsel
in Frankfort. Let each county be strong in il
delegation, that the voice of Kentucky may b,
Enthusiastically announced. The emancipation
sentiment in Kentucky is a very strong, deep
and broad sentiment, and If il 10 adequately
represented in the coming convention politician,
will be able to correct their blanders, the per.
Peiuaists will perceive the hopelessness Of their
cause, and any reasonable and Just schemes Of
Kidding the State Of the curse Of slavery will be
seen to he eminently wise and practicable.
