it will still be devoted, and will be prompt TO re-
pel assaults upon the south, whether they come
under the specious garb Of felton, as in " Uncle
Toms CABIN or in the direct form of anti-savery
pamphlets At this critical juncture, while our
enemies are employing literature as their most po-
tent weapon Of attack, the southern people will
surely not withhold their encouragement from
work whose aim it shall be TO strike blows in their
defence.
