Emancipation.

Ma. Enron: Within the last few weeks,
] have noticed in your paper several disres-
pectiul, not to say contemptuous, illusions
to the Emancipation party of Kentucky
These allusions are to be found in the COM
municotions Of your correspondents, aud
not in your editorial remarks.
Sometimes the party is represented ms
vanquished, prostrated, deud. II so, ! sng-
gest that there is not much magnnnilnty ln
triumphing over it, My Object, Mr. Editor,
in this communication is, TO ascertain from
YOU, or some of your correspondents, whe;l-
er II is the policy of the Wings of the State
70 prescribe the ElnancipatiOnists. ! have
seen il stated that Judge Underwoods cman-
cipation sentiments precluded the posi-
biliiy of his reelection 10 the United States
Senate. | have heard intelligent gentlemen
say, also, that Mr.. Crittenden could not bc
elected, because he was suspected Of favor
ing the Emancipation heresy. If this bo
true, suppose inquire how much Kentucky
has gained in the election of Messrs. Dixon
and Thompson over Mcssrs. Underwood aud
Critcndom? Will the former gentlemen
ever occupy the elevated position in the
Senate which has been accorded to the
latter? To ask this question is to answer
It, II Messrs. Dixon and Thompson have
men, and because il is the Wing policy TO
promote such, am very much inclined to
question the favourable operation of the po-
Icy. For may say, and you, Mr.. Editor
doubtless know the fact, that there is among
the Wings tproslavery men included) great
dissatisfaction at the election ofMessrs. Dix
on aud Thompson. have not heard sin-
gle man express qualification at the result,
and have heard many speak of it. | refer
TO the "bone mud sincw" of the community.
know Frankfort letter writers would have
it believed that nll is just MS the pcopld would
have il, but letter-wrilers may mistake the
popular feeling.
The question recurs-arc Emancipation

spcctfully treated, act with the Wing party
But if they IRE to be cast off us unworthy Of
the honors aud emolumenis OF office, no rn-
tionul calculation can be mnde on their CO.
operation. Suppose, then, they IN future
take 10 part in the politics of the State. The
result will he that the Democrats will have II
decided majority; or suppose the Ennncipa-
tonists feel compelled 10y the prescription
policy of the Wings to organize their party,
and run candidates for the different State

Underwood for Governor, and DIR. N. j..
Breckenridge for Superintendent of Public
instruction. Let these gentlemen canvass
the State discussing the Slavery question:
and where would the Wing party he then ?
There would be no hope of its success. The
Democrats would triumph for II Time, aud it
is possible that in less than ten years the Gov
ernor of the Stuie would be mn Ennncipl-
iionist. BE this as it might, the Wing party
in the State would he numbered among the
things that were.
suggest, MIR. Editor, that it is the hes
policy for the Wings to treut the Elnacipa
iionsts with respect for whether We ihinl
so or not, the destiny OF The Wing party II
Kentucky is in the hands of the Ehmnciri
tionists. They can perpcnIntc the former
trumphs of the party, or decree that there
shall be no future triunphs
We can make nothing by calling Eman-
cipatonists Abolitionists. All sensible men
know that this is not true. The Ignorant
alone can be imposed on in this way; and
when thoy detect the imposition, they will
naturally sympathize with those they consid'
cred to have been slandercd. "lionesty ls
the best policy" II is n matter of 10 conse
quence, Mr.. Editor, to your readers. wheth'
er | am pro-slavery man or un emancipa
zionist.
Having noted for mnny years with TN
Whig party, beg leave to subscribe my
