Kentucky

The prospectus of the 4True American,' ie antislavery paper about to be establisheil n Kentucky by C. M. Clay, is exciting conderable aitention there. The Kentucky pacrd secm to be willing that the subject should e discussed, but ihink the time ha not come or action ft. It is obvious that te paper wil] be regarded in that vicinity more or lese favorably, according to the posion it fakes. It does not prrmiee to start n very radical grounds. It is to beownd and publtshed, in part, by stavcholders: is to be devoted to "gradual and constituonal emancipation," and consequently oposed to immediate emancipation: it proposee ïat unti-slavery men sh&ll nol 'cut loDse from ieir old party associations": ii will "rigidly espect the legnl ng-hts of olhers;" that is, trongly coii'iemn all interference with elavef in a marmer contrary to theelave laws, like dvising slaves to escape from their masters, c. and we presumtí will advocate Henry Clay'fi principie, that "what the lav declares o be property, is property." Such principies iay, perhaps, be promulgated in Kentucky by ier citizen3 without exciiing popular vilence. However, we shall rejoice to 6ee the ubject of s'avery discuesed in Kentucky in any of ils features.Tn his adílress to the people of Kentucky C. M. Clay, says: "A epnce of three counties (leep, lying alonj; he Ofii j river, contains a decided mnjority of ho people of the State, as well as the greater art of ihe soil. How long before sla ves .here, from obvious causes, will be utterly jselpss? Soon, very soon,will they iind t'.iein elves bearing all the evils of slavory, without out any, the leost rcinuneration."The most obvious cause of this state of things thnt occikh to us, is the fncilities the slaves have for escaping from their ir:asters - From personal con veraat on with various refugee 6laves from this section of the State, we learn that those in the vicinity of the Oliio river are far better treated thnn eucIi as aro fiirther eouth, becnuse the maeters ore wel aware that whipping, starvation, exclusioi from religious privileges, Stc. will be folio wet on the part of the more intelligent and valaable slaves by imrnediate desertion. It seems that Mr. Clay thinks this obvious ca se, whicl we8upposs to be running away, will soon render a laree part of the slaves of Kentucky "vlterty vscless.'' It see.ns to bo the object of the projector to have as little apparent connpcion with th Liberty papers as possible. We notice, tha a list of 07 popere, in nll tho Stnte6, is request ed to publish the prospectus, and of these onl one is a Liberty paper.
