The Clipper Of this morning, in Noticing q
scathing article in the Planters Adroeats,
charging that Journal with abolitionism, and
playing the fiddle for those who are most
likely to pay, exhausts a column in venting
Its wrath in denial of the charge. Among

principles to obtain popularity. Let him
bring forward his evidence, or stand branded
as liar before the public \
''We say then that the intimation that we
are Abolitionists is false, and without the
slightest foundation-and to him who charges

The Clipper is charged, and justly too, with
being the IsN-the Abolition-paper of the
South. 1t may deny the charge as often and

Abolitionism. Mr.. Thomas Connolly, who re-
