The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1849-09-15

The following extracts from letter written
by one Of the most intelligent citizens in Clarke
County, will be read with interest at the pre-
sent time. Such hiets a. are alluded TO throw
a great deal Of light upon the actual state oil
feeling in Kentucky in regard to Emaneipa-
ton and are full Of encouragement. 1t Is en-
couraginp TO find N en- elected to the convention
as anti E msnci pasioDists willing to ehgrsit Inc
law Of '3s upon thu Constitution, and Willing
also to submit the opposition OF Emanciration 10
the consideration OF the people at utafed PERIODS
and those periods comparatively of short dura'
ton.
II 10 encouraging to know that In no infia-
entail county as Clarke. the only effect OF the
abuse Of the EmanGipatiopists. by Mr.. Hanson
was to consign the gentleman to the quiet and
happiness Of private life.
II 10 encouraging also to know that In Fay
cite the pro- slavery spirit is nanfesting itself
in relentless prescription. 1tisaGood Thing Tor
the community that that anaiable splrit should
be seen In all Its native loveliuess. Let II 60
on with its work, let Il develope It's character In
lis full proportions, let Il Danish a few more
Presidents from the Colleges which thew adorn,
let il deny 10 few more mechanics the means
Of daily food fer themselves and their families,
because of the incapable crime Of voting ac-
cording to the dictates Of reason and conscience
and then " the people Of Kentucky choose to
CLASH Il to their hearts they will have the salts
faction Of knowing whom and what they en-
brace. 1t would be a pity II so chivalrous, SC
generous, 30 republican spirit should be unap'
vrecia,ed because andeveloped and unknown.

omen clause but 10 favor OF the sHbm'sslon o

clause on all subjects but slavery.
Hood spoke OF tn. E,nancipationists and thei
loninions with grea, respect Hanson denounc
ID them IN the most unqualified terms OF abuse
