But the Emsuopationists Of Louisville are
by no means defeated. The pro-sisvsry cai,di-
dates did nstdsrs to take ground IN tavsr Of per-
petusting slavery. They were too polite for
that They confined their lsbors TO an opposl-
ton to the present movement in favor Of Euisn-
cIpatIon. Mr.. Guthrie announced himself in
favor Of much better Kind Of Emancipation,
q. many thought, than that pr, posed by Mr.
Clay; and Messrs. Rudd and Preston, the other
pro-slavery candidates. declared they would
carry out the will Of the e..,z,As Of Louisville
10 relation to Emancipation, If they were elect
ed. All the Wing candidates for the LegAsla-
ture took ground In favor Of the platform OF
the State Emancipation Convention. Thus,
Notwithstanding the Emancipation ticket was
defeated, pro-slaveryism can claim no triumph.
Perpetualism would not receive one hundred
votes Of the FIVE thousand that the people Of
Louisville are able to cast.
We have thus In far too hasty manner given
our friends out Of Louisville few of the most
prominent reasons for the failure of the Eman.
clpalion ticket In this city. We deeply regret
this failure, for the sentiment Of Louisville In
relation TO slavery, cannot be faithfully repre-
scented by the gentlemen who will take theil
seat IN the constitutional Convention. Their

forced to vote the Pro-slsvery ticket contrar,

came obstacle after obstacle, till their object
accomplished.
The history Of the movements In favor OF
Parliamentary Reform 10 England, furnishes
another lesson in favor Of perseverance,. The
friends Of this measure met with continued de-
feats for several years. When the people seem
ed to be at length prepared for the measure, the
excuses Of the French Revolution alarmed the
whole country. Afterwards, the detection OF
Mr.. Pitt seemed to announce ruin to the cause
Frequent defeats were sustained, but they were
considered only delays. The example Of Major
Cartwright shows what may be accomplished
by energy and perseverance, even when con-
nected with no very splendid abilities.
"Ths Major" says Lord BrOughsns, twas a
most invaluable advocate OF reform, from The
uniaunted front which he steadily opposed Ia

ness with which he stood by its friends, and The

q few, he kept his hopes unabatsd, and seemec
