once, so have I,ey now, many prf1udces and Old
hrbits of Thought and feeling TO overcome. The
uurh, If clearly and often presented, will sooner
or later make lis way into their minds a. II did
into ours.
But for the better discrimination ofour views, II
is necessary that we use concerted and systemat
c measures fof This end. We must adopt some
form of regular orgsnis ,tion, that they may com
bns our Efforts for The promotion Of our cause.
We rec ar mend therefore that the friends o.
gradual enamel patton in every city and county o.
the State organize themselves, that they hold peri
odiesl msetings 10 exchange views, hear address
es aud ADOPT easures for The diffusion OF INFO T.
mstion and argument on the subject OF emanciPa-
ton.
Louisville being the largest city. and eontaininp
he largest number Of emancpalionisis, may BE-
considered Us the centre Of Union and corre-pon-
dencr Z the whole Stale.
We deem IL important TO have some periodical
publication in the form, itheT of daily and week

rus parties, and be equally acceptable 10 then
all.

TIE Loulsvillc journal Md ear Qaessseos'
Il will be remembered that the Louisville
Journal. a short time since, contained an aru-
Gle in which good deal was said stout Chris
tianity, end some reference made TO our duty
10 the slave. We thought here was good op-
portunity of getting an answer to some qae''
tons We he'd several times proposed 10 pro-
miscuous way. No one had even attempted 10
give an answer. and We were exceedingly gso
that we had an opportunity of directing our
questions to some one In particular. The Jour
nal, we thought, could not refuse an answer on
the ground that It had nothing to do with the
moral aspects Of slavery; for it had taken avery
high moral position on the subject-so high
that Il looked down on all "fanatics and Pseudo-
philanthropists-" We proposed our questions,
which were something ike the following: "Are
slaves human b.iugsi" If they are, is that sys-
tenn right which dsbars them iron, the mos,
sacred relation which human beings can hold
to each other--that ofmarrisge7 Ifthe system
is not right, are those gentlemen doing right
who support 1t As it isl
We have paused for reply. The pause is
considerably longer than any mentioned In
spelling book or grammar No answer has
been given. We really wished TO know what
could be said. Is all the Journals lofty talk
about Christianity nothing but rhetorical -four
ishes7 We must confess that the article did
seem 10 us to contain considerable quantity
of rhetoric; and We must whisper that We were
unable 10 discover anything else. But then we
looked at II through the smoked glass Of "fsns
tics and pseudo thilanthropists," and nigh
have overlooked va,ioas things Many Of tn
passages reminded US Of a rule ofrhetoric which
we once heard When you
have nothing to say, be partie ularly emphatic.
| We suppose. as no one will undertake 10 an
swer these questions. that we may conside
them unsnswerable. Yet we know that the de
tenders Of slavery will 90 on as il no such CUES
lions had ever been asked. The next man tina
comes forward to defend slavery from the Bible
will have his mouth filled with high-soundinl
words about s'slavery In tbs ABSTRACT but W.
assure msnkind la general aud every individus
in particular that we will have nothing TO sa
in regard to this matter. Pro-slavery men wi
go on, completely Ignoring the subject. IL
question is put to them concerning this point
they will throw their features into the most ad
mirsbIe state of iaerpressiptnsss, cry, "Anau
sir" with grace becoming an idiot, and pas
on as if nothing had been said to them. YO
look into their eyes, to see ifyou can detect som
fain: glimmer of expiring intelligence; but 20
will End mo speculation in those eyes" A
soon as you have given up the expectation {
getting an answer, and have abandoned the ma
} ter Ina despair, their faces will be immediatel
shining with the light Of Intelligence. and 20
will think that SolOman is standing befol
you. Texts Of scrlp,are will pour out upon yo'

PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA,

A despatch from Boston on Monday reports
two decided cases of cholera in that city, and
one death.
The New York reports, on Monday, of % cases
and nine Deaths was decrease OF two cases and
two deaths on the reports for Sunday. The En-
press says:
''The cholera, so far, has excited but littlealam
in the city, and most of the physicians feel capa-
Bile now OF graphing with the disease"
AtAlbany, on Saturday, there were eight ca
ses, and four deaths.
The Norfolk Argus, of Monday says:
Gone or two cases have occurred in the neigh
borhood of the Dismal Swamp canal. 1t attain
ed its acme in our city week since, and is evil
IDENTITY on the decline at present"
Anew York letter, of Monday, to the Phila-
delphia Inquirer, says
"People are leaving the city by hundreds, il
not by thousands, and it is probable in few
days many of opr most fashionable localities will
be almost entirely deserted, Every disinfectine
agent ever thought or heard of is brought into
requisition, but in many places from the filth i'll

The cholera continues at Cincinnati, though il
is thought allthe cases are not reported.

GEORGE LIPPARD.-We expected to see
the Wing press open its batteries upon this gen
tenan for having exposed the hypocritical course
of Gen. Taylor before the election. We are not
the defenders of Mr.. Lippard-as a Democrat
he ought never to have been found among Gen
Taylor's political supporters, for he might have
sworn he would have been deceired. We advert
to this matter now, for the purpose of showing
the inconsistency Of the Wings in reference tc
the writings of Mr.. Lippard. Pending the Pres
idential canvass the writings of Lippard were
spread broadcast over the land, and were circu-
lated by the Wings theInselyes-Lippard then
wrote for Gen Taylor-but now, when he writes
against Taylor, his name, forsooth, lis seldom
found elsewhere than on the nut-brown cover Of
six pence novel" And yet these Fsix-pence'
novels were circulated by the thousand, by the
Wings, during the late political contest-they
were circulated in Augusta The fact is, Lip
pard has told the Truth, with most suncourtly
frankness,n and that it is which is now "ggall
and wornwood" to the Wings. Come, gentle
men, you circulated Lippard's writings before
the election, and while he wrote for Gen, lay
lor, don't decry the man now that he IS telling
you the truth, when writing against the ''no-par
ty' President.

STANTON
Monday Morning, June III.
Convention asata Reform.

This subject is again commanding the atten-
ton of the people Of Western Virginia, and as
1850, the time for taking the new census, is near
at hand, we think it proper that the friends OF
Reform, throughout the Commonwealth, should
make one more effort to obtain the call OF a Con-
vention, on the basis of white population. Why
Eastern Virginians, who believe the present
Consultation to be radically defective, should In
sist that aaConyention should be based upon the
arbitrary representation OF the House OF Dele
gates, we cannot see. But we do not intend TO
argue this point-our wish is to call the atten-
ton of the friends of Reformto the changes that
are desired to be effected sset forth in the pro-
ceedings of q mass meeting, lately held at Trla-
delphia in the county of Ohio, viz: A change
in the basis of representation i'll the IL. OF Dele
gates-the re-moddeling of the County Courts; a
thing, by the way, very much needed, as every
countyman knows-the election OF the Cover
nor, Sherfs. Clerks, and all other officers, by
the people-and the extension Of the right OF
suffrage. These are some OF the reforms the III
terests of the people most imperiousy demand,
and common Justice require. If a proposition to
pay Jurors were submitted to. the people; it
would receive a unanimous approval; and tho
the Legislature could remedy this grievance, yet
members seem too intent on multiplying and
mystfyjng the laws, that what would really
benefit the people is seldom attended to- In
Convention to change the Constitution, it should
be insisted on, that the Legislature meet bienni-
ally-this change, alone, would save to the peo-
pie more than 100000, annually. Something
ought, must, and will be done, if the friends OF
Reform go tc work in the right way.

CONSISTENCY. The Richmond Wing says
General Taylor is following the practice OF the
"earlier Presidents in regard to appointments,
in this: Gle must, Of necessity, rely upon
Cabinet officers to investigate the fitness OF the
various subordinates, and arrange all1he details
in their respective departments" Will the
Wing inform its readers why Mr.. Clayton, the
Secretary of State, would not permit Gov. Young
