NOT paper comes from that Office which
does not bear its Testimony against the
South and slavery. Greeley evidently thinks
fnat the salvation Of his sonl depends upon

without slavery, negrotraders, tobacco juice,
chains andlashes, before his eyes. Lately.

The people of Virginia have their vices and their
iaults; and the breed of its mighty men is in some
degree run out; but the State only needs manufac-
