ought to bo caressed by every man in

from his mcrfed fame as philantbro.

considered in that light, can affect the
solid principles Of an argument involving
human happiness, ana utterly at loss
to conceive. When we reach our own
section of country, confess there is
something repugnant in the idea of an
union with complexion entirely the re.
verse of the white. In this respect i
heartily agree with MIR. jefferson in his
Notes on Virginia. Mr.. C's. plan in its
principles is not only extremely remote,
but reasonable. 1t proposes to unite the

Justice Of the case and his own intrinsick

the old republican school. Congress,
