The Richmond VA Examiner, prolal,
most reckless and fanatical Pro Slavery is.-
in the South, hates foreign immigrant, a.

home among us are held by the SoutLu

travagant; STILL the editor has sense an
not to outrun very far the prejudice o..
community for which he writes Hi, ra..

We are happy to see that these eza.

We printed the sentence, just as it stood
its editorial, without qualification. If tha Ell
