The Louisville Courier replies to Mr.. Charles Sum =

the soft, silky, things the Courier alleged he said
about slavery, while travelling in the slave states last
summer, in very sharp Tone The Courier quotes
MIR. Summers letter, and then says
Now, Mr.. Sumner, for a few words with you.
We care not for your denial. We know nothing of
what you saw in Kentucky; where you spent your
Sabbath; whether you went to the African church ;
whether you well-drcsscd and well-behaved
slaves; nor whether your marks ofsurprise concern
ing the mildness of slavery. Our statements as to
all these things were based upon your oun confess
saons while you were travelling from Frankfort to
Louisville in railroad car, on a particularly bright
and beautiful day-W ednesday, the 18th of the

this, lin general and particular You may deny
having been passenger the on the day afore

in which no man of Boston should indulge.
Your indignant denial of having attended an Afri-

our slaves and We have often seen some of our best

W The friend who requested us to call the at

This is all very well. Our friend has acted pro-
pery in disclaming the idea to which he refers :;
but then zoe did not wish to appear censurng the
Company, but merely in the light of calling at
tention, in the name of the public, to the evil

WHAT WILL THEY SAY?
What will the X. N. papers of the South say Of
those portions of the Presidents Message which re-
late to the KansasNebraska act and the question of
slavery? President Pierce, for repeating in his Mes
sage the sound Constitutional opinions he has al
ways entertained on the theory of the government
and in relation to the rights of the South, will incur
again the bitterest and the vilest abuse from the
freeso ard abolition papers of the free States This
is to be expected-but what will be the tone of the
K. N. papers of the South? Will they publish the
whole of the Message? Or will they cndeavor to
find fault with it? VIII they do the Prssident the
