Kentuckians who are in Washington say that the State is undergoing a revolution on the emancipation question, and that before long it will take a position by the side of Missouri, in favor of compensated emancipation.
--Hartford Post.
We find the substance of the paragraph in several Eastern papers. 'Tis all a fraud. If any Kentuckians in Washington say that this State is undergoing a revolution on the emancipation question, they are hunters after office or hunters after contracts, poor and cringing sycophants, who hope to compass their ends by telling the President whatever they think he would like to hear. We believe he has a great deal too much sense to let himself be cajoled by such dishonest and mean-spirited mercenaries,--Louisville Journal.
