who edits rampant Know Nothing paper in
Knoxville Tenn, and breaches orthodox SER
mons about the blessedness of niggers on Sun
days. He is sort of clown-preacher, and
says vulgar things and decent things, just as it
happens He goes to fancy dances once and
awhile, and thus rcfreshes his pious mind for
his secular and ecclesiastical abors. We see
4 byalate number of his paper that he has been
having a bit of correspondence lately. The
letter of his correspondent, in all probability,
does not overshoot the mark great deal.
Here is the correspondence:
