with its violations of all the Decaloguc, is
no sin? Have not Garrison and Quincy

But then, Jones, you are frank. Hear .
"Slavcry is constitutional. II as national

Jones is Democrat. Hear, again

Jones is also somewhat literary, and re-
views little-thus:
.1he OEre Branch or. White OAK Farm, is
pleasant and well-written religious fiction.
The object IS 10 advocate the teachings of the
Scriptures. In his opinion, they recognize
slavery beyond all doubt, cavil, or dispute;
they recognize 1t distinctly and repeatedly
And he certainly quotes sufficient passages to
Justify his opinion
Mr.. Jones can not be supposed 10 be cogn-
zant of everything which transpires. univer-
salty of knowledge is not conferred on mortal
,
of astonishing ignorance evidently exacted
bv his conscience y we should Judge him 10
be well qualified for Past High Bgbug Of the
genuine Know Nothings:
"Born and raised in the South, we never
saw bloodhound there, nor ever heard
OF any being kept to chase runaway negroes.
Nor did we ever hear of such thing as a
kidnapper in Virginia, one 10 run off slaves TO
Southern market. Nor have we ever
known an instance of gentleman lighting
duel with Slave-trader.
If friend Weichselbaum will call and fur
nish our editorial brother (on our accounO
with bran new pair Of specs, we think the
next time he goes South and reads newspa-
pers for few years, he may hear or see of
boodhounds, kidnapPers, and perhaps even
of duels between (" gentlemen" We take II
that man who buys or sells men, women
or children (whether he does or does not
"raise" them) is a "slave trader" Randolph,
Jackson, Clay, Benton. Brooks, Graves, Wise.
and a thousand other duel fighters bought and
sold human flesh, even if they were not recog-
nized as :. gentlemen" by Jones & Co.
Mr.. Jones and his pupils put themselves on
their dignity-wltness:
The South has no excuses, apologies. or .
to plead to the North. It's Their
uiH and Measure to hare shires, and that is all
they have to reply TO Northern intermedlers."
T.. When Sir Oracle opens his lips, let no
dog bark'D Yet no people are more sensl-
tive to public opinion, than the shareholders!
Bro. Jones gives ecclesiastical news at
length, of which the following is the most re-
freshing we have ever known in dry time:
"The three thousand political parsons OF
The North are mostly composed Of t'niiarians,
