KENTUCKY.

Aholitionism is getting its roots firmly into the
soil Of Kentucky and were the friends of freedom
there sustained as they should lie by the counte-
nance and thorough anti-slavery position Of their
neighbors in the non slave holding states. it woulu
grow and thrive with most encouraging rapidity.
The lahors and example of James G. Birny in
1888 are neither lost nor forgotten the bold and
manly course of Casius NJ. Clay, and the fidelity
and martyr firmness Of John G. Fee. meet with
responding sympathy from many other honest
hearts who render also their cooperation and sup.
port to all practical measures of freedom. Not.
wi,hsfanding the survilancc under which all low
ers Of liberty are placed in the state. more than
400 votes were cast for Fremont at the late cleo.
ton. And with many who cast them, the vote
meant more than was signifed Intentionally by
many similar votes cast in Ohio. 1t meant more
than a mere protest against the extension of sla
very.-lt meant a protest against its existence in
Kentucky. And even in Kentucky were a few
clear sighted noble men who would not cast their
vote for Fremont. because of the concessions by
the party. They would not admit the rightiul
political existence of slavery in the states, and
would not vote with a national party pledged by
its candidates to let slavery alone in kentucky
They believed that the way to abolish slavery, was
to assault it. They were themselves vigorously en-
gagged in that assault, and felt themselves entitled
to the aid of the national government in their la
bors in its behalf. AS republicans denied it's abil-
ity to aid them, and affirmed its determination to
live and rule in fraternal harmony with slavery
in the states, they refused to give it the support of
their votes even though it promised to exclude it
from the territories.
The little company Of men of whom we speak,
believe that the general government may abnl-
ish slavery and with a holiness and consistency
which evinces their honesty, they determined to
carry their principles to the ballot box or stay away
therelrom. If there be only two or three energet.
ic men Of this character in the state, they are a
p0per there; a power that will be felt and make
the despots tremble. That there are such men in
Kentucky we learn from a communicating of me
Of them, published in the Ravenna Reformer, pre-
vious to tho election. From this it appears that
John u. Fee, is one of these occupying this posi-
that he does pot exp ect to abolish slavery by con
cession, and will not compromise, and that he occu-
pied Il falsc position during the canvass in c1nse-
quence Of the unauthorized use of his name, by
the Philadelphia Convention.
The writer may he mistaken or not, about the
constitutional power Of the government to abolish
slavery, but they are abo!itionists without conceal.

REPUBLICAN C0NGREssMEN AND THE
FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW.

Twelve months ago the cry of she Republican,
was, mare Compromises ,cih Slacery." The
New York Tribune raised, and lesser lights, with
speakers great and small echoed the cry, and made
the welkin ring. That looked hopeful,-at least
it would have looked SO, had we not krown from
past experience that politicians in IL Union attempt
ing ~ unite tho monster antagonisms of Slavery
and conduct n canvass to its completion without
Compromise, than they can live without air t.
breathe. While this cry was upon their lips, they
were busy weighing:principle with expediency land
deciding how they could buy success in one direc-
ton by some concession to Slavery in another.
Hence the late campaign has been marked by con.
cessions and compromises, 30 enormously incon-
sistent as to he almost incredible, especially when
we consider, that they were planned and executed
by the men who have most reputation of all
our politicians for moral frmness and courage.
Who would have thought that Philemon Bliss, and
Edward Wade and Joshua r. Giddings would ever
have voted 40 enslave children born on free s0il'
in Kansas and to extend the Fugitive Slave Law
over Kansas and Nebraska How hard to believe
it even now that the Congressional records farce
the unwilling con viction upon US, and their own
attempted justification admits the charge. They
had sulemnly subscribed in the Pittsburgh Plat
form to Cassius NJ. Clay's truthful declaration that
Congress has no more power to make u Slave than
to make a King" And then in their seats in
Congress they voted to put it Oh record for the

STATE TRIALS IN KANSAS


The State trials in Kansas seem to be drawing
to a close. Of the parties indicted, more than n
hundred in number, much the larger part were
known as Harvey's men. The circumstances un-
der which they were arrested were rs follows -
On the 18th of September Guv. Geary assumed
ofhce, and issued a proclamation r~evuking all the
militia orders of his predecessor, Acting-Guver-
nor Woodson, and commanding all ludies of men
in arms without authority. forthwith to dispense or
to leave the Territory. The Missouri army, which,
under the lead of Atchison, had invaded the Ter.
ritory and destroyed Osawatamie. finding them.

prior to this, retreated ons of The Territory and
disbanded for the moment. but with the under.

identified with the Kansas struggle. tits due,
alike TO the northern Democracy and to all the
distinguished Democrats in Congress who were
identified with the Kansas question, that the
charge so ably and so triumphantly met and
refuted by the Post should be properly appre-
ciated in the southern States. twill be seen
that the Post places the availability of a
Democratic nominee upon the high ground Of
his known devotion to principle and we are
sure that he does the northern Democracy no
more than justice in placing them on this ele-
waited platform. In the present crisis VIC
tory won on any other view of availability
would prove in the end fatal to the Democratic
party. The Post makes its answer to the al
legation that Gen. Pierce is less available than
a new man because of his bold and fearless
course on the constitutional rights of the South
The same answer applies with equal force to
the allegation, whether made against him or
any other Democrat who stands fully and
squarely committed on the Kansas issue, and
We copy 1T to show that the northern Demo-
Gratis are not less determined than the south
ern to stand faithfully by that issue. Whether
the candidate was in the fight or not, the
Democratic sentiment, North as we'll as South,
is that he is so thoroughly committed that his
election will be an unequivocal triumph of the
great principle of tho Kansas law"
