the signature of "yERITAs," is rather severe up.
on those who object to the recent repeal OF the
Black Laws. The article however emanates from
respectable source, and we consequently insert
it without comment Inregards to those persons
who are endeavoring to create an unfavorale i'm.
pressln against our Representatives, we shall say
nothing; their efforts will prove entirely futile.
Messrs. Archbold and Morris, we are satisfied,
will pursue tho even tenor Of their way, regardless
alike Of the favors or frowns Of individuals who
will stoop so low to pervert the truth, and mis-
represent their action. We assure "veritas" that
the use of our columns is freely rendered to any
responsible individual, who may wish to make
known his objections to the repeal of the statute
which prohibte ID negroes and mulattoes from tes'
testiying in courts Of justicefor lhis in fact is
all that has been repealed. We, Eowevsr, do not
believe any one will Rave the, hardihood 10 avail
himself of this privilege; for his views would thus
be placed in tangible form, and they might in al.
tor years come up in Judgment against him.
