This .acIei class have been recently much re-

these Old Scholars who have evidently read about
Paul and Onesimus to very little purpose, have,

men in the United States should preach a sermon

Fayttte emancipated his "niggers,' and was in
favor, as he wrote to Washington, of emancipating
other peoples "niggers." Sermons about such
