This pamphlet contains a review of Mr Clay's "Letter on emancipation" and strictures on Mr. Campbell's "Tract for the people of Kentucky". These enemies of the South threw their mischievous productions betore the country during the canvass in Kentucky, for a Convention to alter the Constitution of that state. Their professed object was to effect the abolition of slavery in Kentucky. The author answered them because he conceived, that while each pretended to write for the people of Kentucky, and in reference to slavery in that state, both made a general attack upon the institution of slavery everywhere, but more especially, as existing in tlie Southern States of this confederacy. He now presents these answers to the public in pamphlet form, because he desires to cast the mite of his influence into the scale of Southern rights at this crisis, and hopes this humble tract will assist Southerners to form correct views of their rights, and of the rectitude of their institution as appointed of God and sustained by the Bible. The letter on emancipation fell into my hands in the spring of l849, and the Review was written and published in the Augusta Constitutionalist, in May, and was copied and circulated in Kentuckv, during their Convention canvass. - To the reader.
