The examiner. [volume] (Louisville, Ky.) 1847-1849, 1849-09-22

MESsRs. EDrToEs:-I notice an article in the
Baptist Banner Of the 18th inst headed ''Uhfalr-
of Party Politics. and as IL is signed L. II
is evidently fIOm the pen OF Rev. Mr.. La Rue,
the junior Editor Of that paper. quote few
sentences:
"The two abolition prints of this city,
the Courier and the Examiner, have given
circulation to certain false statements, either
ignorantly or knowingly, ia reference 10 The
Georgetown College. Now, il they have igner-
antly given currency to false reports they will
surely have the mag nanimily TO publish the state
ment OF facts in relation to that Institution,
made by the Editor Of the Georgetown Herald.
That party that IL sustained and promoted BY
false imputations upon the literary institutions
OF our State, must be a curse TO soeiety"

property to raise money enough to buy the
slave, and when the purchas Is made, he saws
to The slave you serve me until you make the
amount have paid for yeu and you shall be
Tree say the Examiner spoke of a case of
this kind as Praiseworthy-as deserving ammo
baton How, then, can the editors of the Ex-
aminer believe the relation Of master and ar.
want sinful peT Sc, and If not. are thew sboI;.
uonis'si Take care, Mr.. La Rue, how you ex-
press yourself.
Again you say that the ''Courier and the Ex-
aminer have given circulation to certain false
statements, either ignoranily or knowingly. in
reference to Georgetown College"
