The fact, which Is well knoWn>to the au-
thor above alluded 10, that Mr.. Jones had,
more than year previous to "A notef
downs " last communication, both in pu-
bic and in private, acknowledged the in
justice. of some of his statements admit
ted that he had been hasty in his Judgment,
and premature in his conclusions, still the
malignant appetites of his traducers are
unsatiated. But with voracity, worthy
only the hyena, who to appease its appe-
tite for human flesh, exhumes its prey and
descecrates the grave. Wemust conclude
our structures, having spun them out some
what longer than we anticipated when we
penned the head of our article. But after
a moments reflection, we were satisfied
that mere notice of the communication
alluded to, would be doing Mr.. Jones an
injustice, the society before whom he had
lectured, an injustice, the author Of the
an injustice, and our
selves a.greater injustice, being the con-
ductors of an independent press, open to
all, and swayed by none. And although
the pulpit, the bar, and the bench, may
swere or faulter, the independent news
paper, and this in particular, shall be un-
wavering in its advocacy of truth and jus
tice.

More INDIGNATION OF GA NoTRR
DoWN-in(g) THE FIELD Concluded
from no. l0.-We confess ourselves abso-
lutely astonished when we reflect that in
the city Of New York, where a more en-
lightened community Of colored people
does not exist i'll any section OF the Union,
there should be found an individual, so
rancorous in feeling, so devoid Of those
nobler attributes which distinguishes the
man Of feeling from the man Of mean ami
NAL propensties, as to aim his venomed
philipics at fellow being, who was un-
fortunate enoug h to prefer his native home
to any other portion of our common coun-
try. Such appears was the Rev. Mr. Jones'
case, who in his zeal to enjoy once more
the balmy breezes Of his native, sunny
south, where he had been born and nur-
tured, and who it seems in his addressing
his friends in his native town, where he
was desirous Of returning, he had the mis-.
fortune in describing the north, the man
ners and customs OF our people, &c, he
happened to ocommlt an error, which many
nrior to Mr.. Jones, have fallen into,
which was the misrepresenting of our
people in one or two particulars, though
in the main we are ofthe opinion Mr.. J.
did no more than would Il noter down. "

70 Our much esteemed friend, W.
w. Browns interesting letter Of the
3lst ult from Buffalo, was thankfully
received, and the fattering approval,
which breathes through every line,
comes to US, at this time, with more than
I" healing on its wings" We shall be
pleased to hear from w. w. Brown, as
often as convenient; it will serve to inspire
US with new hope in our onward course.
Such ffattering testimonials, as we
have received from our distant friends,
of late, serves to convince us that our
course is right, however, we may err at
times, (and none are without errors, we
mean, our errors to lean on justice, truth
and virtues side.

Does our neighbor of the Tocsin ina
gine, for even one moment, that the ap-
peal 10 the prejudices of our colored fellow
citizens, "a weak invention of the enc

they do not, they must be more ignorant
of the intelligence of the colored people in
this vicinity, than we are willing to give
them credit for.

He will please accept oui unfeigned thanks

standing the gentle hint we gave him in
our last paper, we discover is again enga-

scanting upon the dement's of the North

brother become OF late, that he willlet no
opportunityg but he must give passing
stab at our little sheet, although in vain.
We were not prepared, however, after we
had left the lecture room of the Baptist
church, on the evening of the temperance
meeting, that the abuse of our paper
would have become topic of so much
eloquent nonsence, as it elected from our
unfortunately somewhat insane christian
brother-therefore, cease, brother, "you
