I have eeen many jeniletnen hereof vbrio'us professions and av-cations - politicians and litcrary men - but b far from cvoidin this queértoir, they iulroluce it, and tolk ab.mt it as a mntter of 'ourfe.

Vberever I heve been in slave States, I have been at paiui, when Ihe occoeion dmnnded, to staie as fully as I rould, a!' the doctrines which 1 regard ns thoso of Abolition, and I have nover yet been trca'.ed uitli discouitesy. The prevalent idea omoug tlie uuinformed Srenernüy, in ihese Sttítée, is, thot Aboüiiüiiisls are iiiöurrrctionists, aud amalgamalioiñsts, enemies of í Jic Uuion, nnd vhat ticy cal! ''negro stealers;" to that yvheii they sce on Abolitionist of fair sperclj nnd conduct, who peaks llie langudge of iruth and soberncsy, fiiëy open tlieir eyes with perfect amazement. Some Abi)li;ionis!s enem olraid to trust lhcniselves beyond the boundary üne of Frecdom, esl tl.eir inteeriiy should Piifier: they must either Iiave o poor op:nion of their own virtue, or a most exuggerated idea of the temp tations to which it may be snbjected. For onrselves, when we temetnber that five sixths of the people óf Kentucky ore non slaveholders, and ihat many of the írlnveholders theínselves ore seriously tueditating mensures for the exïinclion of the cvi!, we feel entirely ndisposed to declare non inteicoure with that State, ut least.
