SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY. - The Maysville Eagle publishes the following project as that which meets the views of most of those in Kentucky who desire the emancipation of their slaves.

First - All slaves now in existence, or born in Kentucky before the first of January, 1860, remain slaves for life.

Second. - let all male slaves born after January, 1860, be free at twenty-five, and all females born, after the same period, be free at twenty one - provided, that upon reaching that age, they shall be hired out for two years, or longer, if necessary, until a fund shall be accumulated sufficient to transport them to Liberia, and give them a start in that colony.
