We said of Mr.. Jefferson that he il ere

Examiner proves this, even while abusing us
for saying it. 1t does not become one of his
admirers to speak thus contemptuousy OF CAL

If the better classes of the Southern
States" are free from licentious vice, then the
South sends good many OF her io,cr classes
to Congress AS to the advertisements which
The Examiner processes to find every day" in
the columns of The Herald and Tribuae, it is
grossly untrue that they have thus been found
in The Tribune; and We believe il exaggerates
with regard to The Herald, though we are not
well enough acquainted with the advertising
columns Of that paper to speak positively as to
what may or may not be found in them. AT
all events, the assertion is false and slanderous
as respects The Tribune, and We demand its
retraction. Possibly one such advertisement
in year may have escaped the scrutiny of our
clerks, but not one per month, nor ia each
three months.
And now, if The Examiner please, We
should like direct answer to our question as
to whether the intermediate cOlors are to be
accounted men or negroes True, The En-
ominer has knocked on the head its own argu-
ment, by affirming that "the different species
of dogs have perpetuated no mongrel breed
which, according to its major logic, would prove
them not different species of dogs but part
of them no dogs at all--yet We would like to
have our question categorically answered.
