small is well printed and full Of life, aud were

Tue following paragraphs from the Paris
Citizen show that the discussion Of the great
subject is going on. This IS right. Let the
subject of emancipation be thoroughly dis
eussed in every county OF kentucky. We have
no fears of the result. The cause Of freedom
shrinks not from freedom Of discussion:
"on Monday last, Maj. Squire Turner, who
Is Il Candidate for seat in the convention, adj
dressed the people Of the county, upon the
manifesto Of the original convention men,
which was issued at Frankfort in 1917, the
proceedings of the emancipation convention,
lately held at Frankfort, and the open clause in
the proposed constitution.
lie announced that the general doctrine of
the manifesto concided with his views, and
that he was willing TO give them his support
lie denounced the action of the emancipation
convention ilI-timed and i'll advised, and
thought the question Of slavery should not be
sgitated at present. lie opposed the open clause,
but upon what grounds we are not prepared TO
say, as we did not hear that portion of his
speech.
Col. c. NJ. Clay replied to Maj. 4. in SEN
sible and mild spesch, full OF sound argument,
which was patiently and atteniiyely listened 10

Progress In south Carolina.

South Carolina is progressive, too, though in
a direction somewhat different from the usual
line of progress At late public dinner in
Edgefield District, given to Senator Butler,
where the fighting mel assembled for the pur-
pose Of cultivating their chyalry, the following
resolution was passed;
"S'artry.-As it exists in the Southern
States, il is the best organisation Of human la
Dor, and, sanctioned by morality and the Con
stitulion, we must be convinced, and subdued

solent aggression"
The fathers of these new lights seemed &c
think otherwise, when IN 1928 they passed an
act for the encouragement Of the importation
Of tohite servants, reciting in the preamble that
"the great numbers Of negroes witch Of late
have been imported into the colony, may sRda,s

ton Of white SERVANTS" and also, in IVA, whe 4
they passed another act, imposing duty on the
Importation Of slaves, assigning in the preamble
as a reason, that "the number Of negroes DO ex
tremely increase in this Province, and through
the affecting Providence of God, the white per
sons do not propOrtiOnably multiply, by reason
whereof the saittg of said Province is greatIl
endangered"

political organisation is deemed necessary Tn,

SHELBiNlLLEs May :, lS4y.
Mr.. MIDDLETON: A cause that has TO be up
held by islsehood Is surely bad one. Some OF
the advocates of perpetual slavery in this State
Il now not who they are, nor do wish to know.
finding themselves hard pressed for facts and ar
guments to sustain them, have, in their frenzied
opposition TO gradual emancipation, made and
circulated thai which Is not true. A few DAYS
ago Col. George W. Johnson informed me that
he bad received letter from a candidate for Ihe
Convention in Jefferson county, saying that he
had heard, that the emigrants had sent to Lii
IBERIA were dissatisfied, aud had written 10 "a
turn; and IL so, he wished TO get the facts that
he might use them in the canvass. The Colonel
did not show me the letter; but give the sub
stance OF what l understood him 10 saw il con-
tained.) ..-
And yesterday another prominent Citizen
Culyin Sanders-informed me that in his neigh
bOrhoOd, and in the northeastern portion of
this county, IL Was reported, that the emigrapts
sent 10 Liberia We're 81 dead but two: and
that they wished TO be brought back 10 this
coantry. Now, the truth is: not one word Of
dissatisfaction has been expressed in all the let
,ers have received from them; and have re-
eeived many. But, on the Contrary, they are
not only cOntenied, but delighted with the
country; and they have urged their friends.

proper home for the colOred man, and ali thai

than realised all that had been represented TO
them by the friends Of Colonisation in Araeri-
ca; and TO myself and Mrs. Wilson they all re-
peat, over and again, their gratitude and thanks
for their liberty and outfit TO the country Of
their forelathers. And Old Reuben, who was
purchased by the friends Of Colonization In

The next thing in this letter is 20 say that |
have great favor to ask OF you. 1t i that You
go 10 the pains Of selecting the beneiiciaries ia
your county; and that You do, BY the LIST Of
March next, let me know their names aud resi-
dence.
To guard the benefciaTies of yOar county
against disappointment, | wish that you would
inform them, that most Of the land is Of an in-
ferior quality; that it is probable that, in some
instances il will prove TO be unfit for farming;
In some Of little or no value either for farming
or iimberi aad that IL ~ possible, a trust but
barely possible) that, in some instances my title
will fail. You will, moreover, inform them, that
in the event Of my not having land enough TO
give each of the thousand a parcel, some Of
those chosen in your county may be unsuppied.
You are, however, authorised TO say TO them,
that whoever Of the thousand shall fail TO get
parcel of land from me, shall get, instead there
OF, $40 in money--and this, too, in addition 10
the $40. The $50 will enable its pOssessor TO
buy forty acres Of Government land. hope
that II will be expended in some land or other;
for one Of my deepest convictions is, that every
person who can, should make himself the ac-
knowledged owner Of piece Of land. HIS doing
so would hasten the day, when the right 10 the
soil shall be everywhere acknowledged 10 be as
absolute, universal, and equal, as the right to
the light aud the air. May that blessed day
come quickly!-for until il does come, our
world will be one Of disorder, oppression, pow
erty, vice;--and, let me add, that II never will
come, until the religion and politics, the church
es and governments OF the world ,'shali be so inn
bued with the spirit Of justice and broiherly
love, as TO call for the coming Of that day
The parcel for each beneficiary, will probably
vary from 30 TO 60 acres. In few instances.
it may exceed 60; and in few, where its value
may be far above the average Of the parcels, il
may be less than half Of 30.
All the land Is IN the Stale Of New York
