MV DEAR SIR :—Under the impression that its publication at this time will pro mote your views, be gratifying to the peo Fie of Kentucky, and be of general utility, am induced to take the liberty to enclose you a copy of a letter from Mr. Jefferson j to me on the subject of slavery. I avail myself of the occasion to tender ; my respectful compliments to Mr. Clay, ; and to renew to you assurances of my high j respect and sincere regard. EDWARD COLES. To Hon. Henry Clay, Lexington, Ky. MoerriCELto, August 25th, 1814. DEAR SIK :—Your favor of July 31st was duly received and was read with pecu liar pleasure. The sentiments breathed j through the whole do honor to both the head and heart of the writer. Mine on the j subject of the slaver)* of negroes have long since been in possession of the public, and Line has only served to give them stronger i . e o ; root. The love of justice and the love ofcoun- j try plead equally the cause of these people, ; and it is a moral reproach to us that they should have pleaded it so long in vain, and j should have produced not a single effort— nay I fear, not much serious willingness ; -—to relieve them and ourselves from our ' present condition of moral and political , repiobation. From those of tiio former generation who were in the fulness of age when 1 came into public life, which was , while our controversy with England was on paper only, 1 saw nothing was to be hoped. Nursed and educated in tha daily habit of seeing the degraded condition, both bodily and mentally, of those unfortunate beings, not reflecting that that degradation ! was very much the work of themselves and their fathers, few minds had yet doubt ed but that they weie as legitimate sub jects of property as their horses or cattle, j The quiet and monotonous courso of colonial life had been disturbed by no alarm and little reflection on the value of liberty ; and, when alarm was taken at an enterprise of their own, it wae not easy to carry out the whole length of the princi ples which they invoked for themselves.— In the first or second session of the Legis "tatnre after I was a member, I drew to ; this subject the attention of Colonel Bland, one of the oldest, ablest, and most respected members, and he undertook to move for , certain moderate extensions of the protec- | lion of the laws to these people. I second- j ed his motion, and, as a younger member was spared more in the debate ;but he was denounced as an enemy to his country, and was treated with the greatest indecorum, i From an early stage of our Revolution other and more distant duties were assign ed me, so that from that time till my re turn from Europe in 1789, nnd I mav ssy, ' till I returned to reside at home in 1309, I hid little opportunity of knowing the pro gress of public sentiment here on this sub ject. 1 had always hoped that the young er generation, receiving their early impres- j sions after the flame of liberty had been ! kiadled in every breast, and had become ea it were the vital spirit of every Ameri- i can, that the generous temperament of youth, analogous to the motion of their blood, and above the suggestions of ava- ! rice, would have sympathised with oppres * eion wherever found, and proved their love of liberty beyond their own share of it. But rny intercourse with them since mv return has not been sufficient to ascertain that they had made towards this point the progress 1 had hoped. Your solitary but welcome voice is the first® which has brought this sound to ray ear, and 1 have , considered the silence which prevails on , this subject as indicating an apathy unfa- j vorable to our hopes. Yet the hour of emancipation is advancing in the march of time. It will come ; and, whether brought on by the generous energy of our own minds or by the bloody process of St. Do mingo, excited and conducted by the power of our present enemy, if once stationed > permanently within our country, offering .isvlum and arms to the oppressed, is a leaf of our history not yet turned over. As to the method by which this difficult work is to be effected, if permitted to lie done by ourselves, 1 have seen no proposi tion so expedient on the whole, as that of emancipation ot those born after a given day, and of tlieir education and expatriation '• at a proper age. This would give time lor a gradual extinction of that species of labor, and substitution of another, and les- i sen the severity of the shock, which an operation so fundamental cannot fail to produce. The idea of emancipating the whole at once, the old as well 33 the young, and retaining them here, is of those only who have not the guide of either know ledge or experience on this subject. For men, probably of any color, but of this color we kaow, brought up from their lutancy without necessity for thought or forecast, are by iheir habits, rendered us incapable as ch,,dren of taking care of themselves, and are extinguished prompt ly wherever industry is necessary for rais ing the young. In the meantime they arc [icsts in society by their idleness, and the depredations to which this leads them 1 hen amalgamation with the other color produces a degradation to which 110 lover of his country, no lover ,f excellence in the human character, can innocently consent. 1 am sensible of the partialities with which you looked toward me as the person who should undertake this salutary and ar duous work ; hut this, mv dear sir, is like bidding old Priam to buckle on the armor of Hector, ' tremi-nlibus ato humeri t et in- No. i have over- | lived the generation with which mutual labors and perils begat mutual confidence and influence. This enterprise is for the young.; for those who can follow it up, and i bear 11 through to its consummation. It j shall have nil my prayers, and these are the only weapons of an old man. But, in the meantime are you right in abandoning this property and your country with it ? 1 think not. My opinion has ever been that, until more can be done for them, we should endeavor with those whom fortune has thrown on our hands to feed and clothe lueni well, proT'ct them from ill usage, re quire such reasonable labor only as is per ! formed voluntarily by freemen, and be led J by no repugnances to abdicate them and : our duties to them. The law does not permit us to turn them loose, if that were for their good, and to commum them for ! other property is to commit them to those 1 whose usage to them we cannot control. I hope, then, my dear sir, you will re j concile yourself to your country and its unfortunate condition ; that you will not lessen its stock of disposition by withdraw* ing your portion from the mass. That on the contiary, you will conte forward in the ' public councils, become the missionary of this doctrine truly christian, insinuate and ! inculcate it softly but steadily through the medium of writing and conversation ; ns -1 sociato others in your labors, and when the phalanx i 9 formed, bring on and press ! the proposition perseveringly until its ao ! complishraent. It is an encouraging ob servation that no good measure was ever ; proposed which, if daily pursued, failed to prevail ir. the end. We have proof of this in the history of the endeavots in the Ornish Parliament to suppress that very trade which brought 1 this evil upon us. And you will be sup ported by the religious precept —'Be not weary in well doing.' That your success . tnav be as speedy and complete as it will be honorable and immortal consolation to yourself. I shall as fervently and sincerely pray as I assure you of my great friendship and respect. TIIO. JEFFERSON. E. COLES, Esq.

I believe it is one of the most profitable agricultural implements in use ' by the farming community. JAMES BE ATT Y, Jr. We cordially concur in the above. JOSEPH CAMPBELL, JAMES PARKER, ADAM GREER.
