The Miami Visitor" " paper in the abolition State
of Ohio has seen fit make regular onslaught upon
us on account of slavery paragraph of ours which
We scarcely remember In his feeble attempt to bring
us 10 the ground, he has evinced no little skill in the
use of nashy bilngsgate Neither has he Jailed, at
the distance of some thousand miles SO, TO present
TO us the common witty alternative lin use with every

positeness reason wit in the suggestion Know you
not, man or Miami, that the white race differs from
the black, in mind body and sentiment, as Carolina
patriot differs from an Ohio ahollunist! If you did
know it however, il is by no means probable that you
would admit It. Neither you comprehend how 1t
is that social and domestic organization just such as
ours is the best on earth for both the higher and the
menal classes, securing to the former the greatest
