Movement In Kentucky

Il is probably known to many of onr readers, that the question of emancipation, has been deeply agilating ihe noble heartsof a portion of thecitizens of Kentucky, for several years past. Involved with this is the quesiion for calling a convention to alter the State Couslitution, a change of this instrument being requisito lor the constitutional abolitior. of slavery. The Convention questioi lias at length been carried by a majority of 15,000 or 20,000 over that reuired by the constitution. The follovring paragraph which we take fiom The Exmniner, of Louisville, Kentucky, wül be read with inieest, as showing the charaoler of this novement, and the working of the elenents of humiin'ty and righleousness deep. d the hr-arts of the people- frorn which none can bil to forécast good for Keotucky and goor] for the mee of man. CONVENTION. The first step h!is beea taken ? Tl o Convention Question is carried in Kenucky; We say not that all whovoM for Convehtion nre in favor nf emanciparon ; but this we do say, that the great majority are. The firM word we heard, when (ve cotnmeneed the Examiner was, "vou will throw back the cause," and the mM thoughtless ndded, "we are glad you are out,- it will stop the Convention.'' We knew beller. We knew that thinking men we re not lo be influenced by thia considera t ion, nnd tlint re.-il, earnesthopers for freedom, wouftonly work the harder for it. ' e said so. The resuh- the vole of Louisville, esprcially - proves that we were right. The PKOP1.K want to get at this question of slavery. 'J'hey are eager to drive the evil from our soil, forever. Where are ihoir leaders ? Where the good and great to speak for them 1 Where the farseaing, ciad in proofmail, and readv to give and take blows in the glorious cause 1 Where the mkn willing to labor ani to waa !
