But to put this heinous fact beyond all dispute,
ard to show that the Intellgenoer has no scruples
about respg 70 all The articles Of fraud in order to
sustain the lbolitonizing wings Of the north, by a
perversion of Mr.. Jsfsrson's example, we must
cite the most material part of its comments, (n It's
las, artice,) upon Mr.. Jefersons opinions, as tsuy
quoted by US from his writings in refutation Of the
intslligencer's original calumnious garbling.
Inrepy 10 the InelIigencers declarations, as con-
tanned 10 It's first article, that ''Mr. Jefferson was
prspared to assert" just, by the way as the "lberty
msn" now assert) "tilat the laws were nothing
agaisst any of his new-fashioned political TRUTHS"
''tost thers could Cbe no properly in human BEINGS"
and tina, 'the federal power could, of its direct
authority eancpaie the blacks ,cihoui in amy man

Intclligencers monstrous assertions concerning Mr..
Jsfsrson's opinions, quoted the following passa

This language which must have been seen by the
Inteligeneer when J. made It's quotations from the
letter to Sparks, Deliberately suppressed by the,
Journal because, cited, it would have deprived tbe
modern iberty nen of the benefit of the falsely al
lezsds.oineIsnce Mr.. Jefferson sentiments with
Th4t 'o~ni The lntelligencer does not deny the
oppression of this language. II cannot deny the
, .ertinency Of it 10 Mr. Jefersons opinions and
purposes in reference to slave property Why,
len, ors il suppressed Plainly, because it showed
Mr.. Jefferson TO differ from the views of the
Flibery men," and would not sabserve the Intelli-
gencer's purpose to pslliate and justify the abo-
ZIONIST sentiments and tendencies Of the wings, by
JetFerson's example. .t S,s f-.r gh .Vr
But, not contented with originally suppressing
Mr. Jeerson's language with this view, the InteIl-
gencer il ts article Of Thursday last, written after
had detected its fraudulent suppression, and laid
Mr. Jeferson's language before our readers, under
takes to garble the sens: oft, as follows
.The second of the Unions last extracts, if il
shows that Mr.. j. had, in 1924, modified his original
sehei far as propose longer TO violate anu pr-
rate right gel also shors that he still ished the master

that he hadat first designed eompsipt, and that he
Afterwards adopted voluntary pan under neiiier Of
Uhich the master ito get any equivalent, unless
mayhaP, It would 1aye been one to tax him for the
expenses Of educating and transporting his slaves

"Jhodi6ed his original sshsmst'' Why, the Iptell-
gencer first cited the letter to Sparks expressly in
orderso show that the fplanaof emancipation pro.
