does the boy that has Hogged hm-stouing his
dog when he catches him out. The emancipation
lists have some kindness for the negroes Dixon
Furnishes them in the person Of the negroes, BY
trying to make slavery eternal, and opening 40
many new markets, as will make the slavc-drivcr
and the ehain-gang, now painfully familiar, the
peculiar institution Of Kentucky.
Some Of us here still have faith in northern free
men, and we have been laying our ear to the ground
u catch the gathering thunder that may astonish
the wRx-noso politicians before il Is TO late. Is
our faith unworthily founded, or are we not TO
hear such thunder as you promise Can II be that,
without q struggle, the frecmen Of the North are
prepared to the whole territory Of the country
shut against them and their children forever =
They know perfectly well, that where slavery
goes they cannot go. And Mr.. Dixon tells
them, like q man, they are not wanted. Are they
going to be cheated by their own representatives,
before their very eyes because some Of those repre-
sentatiycs hope to get southern support for the
Presidency cannot speak for the politicians,
but for the masses Of the hgh-minded, honorable
people of the South can speak, when | say, they
scorn such stuff TO make presidents Of as Douglas
and his like. They kRo,e he can but be false
hearted To be brought up with all the instincts
and associations OF freomen, and then turn the
fawning tool Of slavery, volunteering work too
debasng and too degrading for any ofits professed
champions to stoop tol You may rely upon it,
these are the sentiments rather feebly expressed,
Of this commonwealth. KrxrrcKY.

LOUISVILLE Kr., FEDRrARr l6, 1854.
To he Editors ofthe Ereaiag Post:
Thinking you would like to know something
OF the feelings and sentiments Of the peoplen Ken
tlcky respecting the Nebraska bill of Senator
Douglas, herewith enclose nm editorial article
from the Louisville Courier (whg) giving an ac-
count Of the great Kentucky Nebraska meeting"
which the ofico-hodcrs and the oficeseekers have
bccn several days concocting.
attended tho meeting, like many others, out Of
mere curiosity, having no sympathy whatever with
the movement. | can, however, testify TO tho cor
rectness of the Couricrs statement, and knowing
us do the instigators of this movement, and the
means used to get up something like public de-
monstraton for the laid aud comfort" of Senator
Douglas, can, most truthfully, testify, that the
great Kentucky Nebraska meeting was most
contemplate failure The prevailing opinion here
is, that the present agitation will reopen anew
the slavery question, to the injury OF both the
North and South, and that the interests Of our
common country require that ALL past compromises
on this sabject skoutd be faithfully kept by good
men Of every section.
Ii Congress shall, in spite Of the adverse indica
tions Of public sentiment, persist in passing th
infamous project Of Senator Douglas into law i
Is much to be feared that an impetus will be giver
to the now dormant anti-slavery feeling of tn
North, that will sweep away all past compromise
and force the slavery question into national politics
with fearfully augmented influence for evil.
assure YOU, that the sober and conservative porto
ofthe people Of KenIuckey know no sympathy wit
Senator Douglas reasonable movement, and be
lcve that it is made for the sole object Of pawn
the way for the Presidential nomination in 1885,
The traitor may yet meet traitors reward.

was put in the chair, and a series Of resolution

phrases put and voted for by the ifty-seyen pc
sons. The meeting then wanted speech. Ger

unnecessary, and said that the cold an

wished to go home. Major George A. Caldwe
was then requested to address the meeting. III
also desired to be excused, and repeated that I'll
room was cold and uncomfortable. He was not c,
cused however, and made speech, styling the OF
ponents ofthe Douglas bill miserable fanatics.
In the course of his speech, the audience swelle
