Gen. Palmer addressed 1000 colored people
in the open air to-day. He congratulated
them that slavery was ended forever, and that
they had no longer any interests separate from

identical. He spoke of the general kindness
of the people of Kentucky to the slaves, though
there had been some cases of brutality and
outrage, the work Of abandoned persons He
be allowed to testify in, the courts, and the
removal of their disabilities. He urged indus
try, thrift, and cultivation of the mind, and
kind feeling toward all. The speech was en-
