In a word, we would have Kentucky what
nature and the God OF nature intended her 10
be-the happy home Of intelligent freemen.
NHI you not pause in your opposition, and

State and her institutions from the evils. Of
slavery, and in placing ourselves and our
children in the van Of human progress and

One word as TO plans Of Emancipation, and
we have done.

We wish 10 persuade the people of Ken

Cd slavery or involuntary servituJe, except
for crime, shall cease in this Commonwealth
all the rest, we think, may be safely left
to the good sense of the people as a matter Of
mutual concession and compromise,
AS a people, we are very much in the con.
ditlon OF the hunter who had the wolf by the
ear we are afraid TO let go, and yet we
know that II Is dangerous TO hold on. The
vol is becoming stronger, we are becoming
weaker. Fifty years since the wolf was
young and weak, and we could have let 90
our hold without danger-he is now nine
teen times larger, with a corresponding
strength, and we have added TO our dimen,
slons only nine times.
Fellow-citizens, this wolf will never get
weaker while he can suck The life blood of
the Commonwealth. Let him po-yes, let
him go-and il he shall then show fght-let
US meet him with the strong arms and stou.
hearts Of Kentucky freemen.
If our Revolutionary Fathers had waited
until a plan Of Independence perfectly FAULT

presented for their adoption, they would new.

There were difficulties to be overcome. oh.
stacles TO be surmounted, dangers 10 be en-

shall say that these were too great a price 10
be paid for the liberties of this Union, Let
but a tlIhe of the spirit animate US which an.
imaied them, and the soil Of Kentucky will in
due time cease TO be trod by the foot Of a
slave.

OF these States understood we'll the true phi-

A WOLF IN A FoLD.-Ano,her Of those fla,
gitious affairs which bring so much unjust
reproach upon religion, has recently occurred
near Rome, Oneida Co., ". Y. 1t appear,
by the papers, ihata Mrs. Wooicot,, being, az
she supposed, upon her death bed, called her
husband 10 her bed side, ..and confessed to him
tia, she had long been criminally intimats
with Elder Scofeld,' the pastor Of a presby-
terrain church in The vicinity, and a married
MN as well as a minister of God. The hus-
band charged the clergyman with the crime,
and he confessed it. Subsequently it appear
ed that two unmarried ladies of his congrega-
ton had been seduced by him. He fled from
public Indignation, but being overtaken by
Mr.. Woolcott, compromised the difficulty,
for $4,000! Scofeld is said to be now in
New York city, whittier he sent his wife
and family soon after his scoundrelism was
discovered.

The PSALM OF LIFE.
BY LONGFELLOW.

BY LoNGFELLow.
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Lie is but an empty dream,
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things not what they seem.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal;
'sDust thou art to dust returnest"
Was not spoken to the soul.
Art is long and time is feeting,
And our hearts, though still and brave,
Still like mutlied drums beating
Funeral marches to The grave.
In the worlds broad field Of bat tie,
In the bivouac Of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
Be hero in the strife.
Trust no future howe'er pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead;
Act-act, in the living present,
Heart within and God DER head
Lives OF great men all remind us,
We make our lives sublime,
Anticipating leave behind US
Footsteps i'll the sands of Time.
Footsteps that perhaps another,
Sailing DER lile's solemn main,
Some forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing shall take heart again.
Let Us then be up and doing,
With heart for any fate,
Still achieving still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait

WASHINGTON COSTA correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, writing from Washington on the
both inst, gives the following reports. There may
or may not be something in them:
In politics reports are as thick as the leaves in
YalambrOsa."
Among others, that the President is dissatisfied
with the Secretary of State, who is accused Of
not " rendering unto Cesar the things that are
CBsar's'
That the mission TO Russia is kept back for one
of the Cabinet, who may find il more agreeable
than Washington after the meeting of Congress.
By the way, this Russian mission is considered a
sort of Siberia. Sending Minister to ST. Peters
burg is looked on an honorable disgrace-a
method of getting rid of troublesome politician
l only reecho the opinion of others capable Of
judging, when | say the Cabinet can't hold to-
gether long after the meeting of Congress 1t re-
presents only cliques-has done Gen. Taylor too
much harm-and inclines too much to the third
party principle.
The Republic is the organ of this party, in con-
tradistiDction to the old wing party journal, the
National Intelligencer
The census printing is the pollS dsinOruRl which
will blow up every thing next winter
This matter of printing is going to get the Ad-
ministration in some difficulty-sn impeachment of
the Secretary Of the Interior is threatened.
