It IS unnecessary TO say much in reply to the
:lhlinadVersIons ot paperso completely stepped
IN n1ggerdom as the argus. Itsis Just nisgersa
and niggef all ovct. 1t is sore with that aiFec
ton from top to toe. You may toG6h even
softly, any part of its vitiatcd body and it cries
out with pain, invoking heaven and earth with
Its alternate curses and .moans. The feeling OF
any sensible man in looking at tie IrduS or
any other of its slavocratc brethren is, rather
pity than Indignation, but when their miserable
manifestations bear witllal the stamp of pueril-
ty and wlitul malice, then it becomes a question
OF some consideration whether it is not the best
course to let the creature pass unnoticed.
We could easily prove that the A i1i,S is .yrone,
in nearly all the details which it gives concern
ing that serenade. 1t has either been. hoaxed
at Il real amusing rate by its spy who appeared
out there in the shape of ''the only Democrat"

We deem it Unnecessary, however, considering :
tie small note of that iaper, and having more
important worNsto do than TO shoot rats, togo
into details.
One word about the Turner's, The Turner's
are hostile to slavery, as we see from their plat
form of principles which we have taken some
pains to look into. Yet, they a,e far from
the idea OF interfering with the institution sof
slavery. They are entirely passive. They
nave never, IN single instance, as far MS them
record goes, taken part in the proceedings of
active abolitioRists. Being an association Of
working men, they have neithcrsthe time nor
the desire to do so. Although believing sla-
very to be wrong, the pro slavery party, as far
as actual aggressions are concerned have not
the faintest cause to be dissatisfied with them
Neither IS this the thing which the Ar1us is
ANXIOUS 10 bring TO notice. 1t is something
else They arc Atheists, the man says. Now
from personal, long. continued acquaintance
with the Wheeling Turner's from close exam
inaion of their records. of their constitution:
and OF the proceedings Of their annual, eaths
erInSS, we must pronounce tiis an unmitiEated
ialschood, as far rs the great majority of that
association is concerned. There is not a Single
