SENTIMENT IN KENTUCKY.

A correspondent of an Eastern exchange, writ
ing from Frankfort, and reporting the: proceed
ings of the Kentucky Convention, now in ses-
sion, makes the following remarks concerning
Mr.. Clay, the former idol OF the State:
"Mr. Clay's position in regard to the Ken
lucky people is a somewhat a,amalous one. His
distinguished position in the Union, and his emf
|nsnt abilities and brilliant talents. appear to be
the State pride of the people, and secure at least
their admiration. But his course on the eman-
questiOn-his advocacy Of a scheme OF
abolition-has destroyed almost entirely bis per-
sonal popularity among the people; and have
been assured by leading Wing politicians here,
that it is seriously a question whether Mr.. Clay
could carry the State Of Kentucky, or any Office
for which he might be a candidate. Certain il
lis, shat in the convention, ais position in regard
Ito lIe emancipation question has been most Sc
verely criticised and denounced by those in the
body who are recognised as leading Wings.
