Meeting Of ths Friends Of Ksma ncIpasISn and


Meetiu. Of ths Friends Of Emancipation ana
Constitutional Reform.
Alta public meeting Of citizens of Kentucky
friendly to Constitutional Reform, held in Lou
isvills, February IL, ls49. the following resolu-
lions were adopted ms expressing the sense OF
the meeting:
WHEREAS Convention has been called to re-
wise the Constitution of Kentucky, and II is
right and proper for every citizen 10 make
known his views as to what changes are desira-
BILE in the present Constitution, previous TO the
election of delegates for the formation OF a new
one.
Therefore Resolusd, 1. That we are satisfied
that the present Constitution needs remodeiing
in many respects; and, that we are the advocates
of a liberal system of Constitutional Reform;
2. That among other reforms we do especially
desire such change Of the present Consiitu
ton US will gradually abolish slavery and look
to the removal OF the colored population.
| 3. That in our opinion these ends ought TO
| be sought In the open, free, and thorough dis
cussion, by the press and before the people, oil
every question relating thereto
| A. That we regard this whole subject as be-
longing exclusively TO the citizens OF this Com
| monwealth, and do most earnestly deprecais
the interference of all other persons what
soever, as being at once offensive and inJu
rious.
5. That we respectfully suggest TO all our Eel
low-citizens who concur with us herein' ina
they take such steps as may seem to them goo.
to make known and extend these views; and
especially, that they assemble in Convention a
Frankfort on the 25th day of April next, for Tn
purpose Of taking into consideration the Who'll
subject of Emancipation, and proposing the hes
measures in relation thereto.

Why must my crushed and stricken heart,
Forever weep o'er blighted flowers?

My farewell kiss imprest?

Long years may glide away,
Ere we again shall meet;
And fondly clasp ogether-hear,s

Though weary miles may separate.
Or waters, darkly blue
They ne'er can wash from memory.
Those hours I've spent with you.

May fill me with alarm:

Still heard amid The storm.
Sadness will often fling its spell,
A,hwart my spirit now;
Though I've breathed 10 thee, nv las, farewell,

But let me still the heaving sigh,
