answer and says he has not admitted it. But
anott er circumstance ders it positive. The
second article appeared in thesame No. of the
T'n,es wi h DR.. Dss non, and this despicable
d, magoeue having perused it, found that the
arguments lie supposed he had answered
were not III it; and then he searches for his
notes he was kind enough to inform us, and
ascertained he had committed dreadful mis-
take. These are facts which he could not re-
frain from telling. His soft soap brain was too
limited to conceal his own deplorable mean
ness. We have often heard him urge us to so
let our light shine that others seeing our good
works. &C., &c. But does he practice what he
breaches? Does he unveil his own light? BY
no means. But like a cowardly cur he sneaks
up behind, iuficts the blow, and retreats under
cover of darkness. Why did he not come out
like mau and afix his real name to those ar.
ticles? Why level his shaft in a candestine
maaner against one of untarnished reputation,
like the devil entered the snake and deceived
Eve? Is this the Part of a minister of the
Gospel? Is it right that men should come
down from that high station to crafty selfish
| ambition, by dabbling in slang unknown to all
| Except they tell it as Brother j. has done)
cause they profess? Methinks the reason why
he did not afix his name to tn Sc articles was
because he was ashamed to come fairly before
the public. In the perusal of Art No. which
we have now before rs, we cannot discern
single point vi h has sufficient force t, jus ify
in an attemptat refutatipn. In it we find h gh
| sounding phrases, and not a few unvarnished
| falsehoods, but we shall notice only one. At
ter much rant he tells us "that such is the
wonderfully profound arguments by which it
| is demonstrated that American slavery is not
a system of robbery and theft" Tn his SER
mon DR.. d. had nothing to do with American
! Slavery or the evils sulting tberefrom. He
maintained that slave holdi in itself was not
a sin, ard when this specimen of pnsillanimity
wearing ministerial robes penned that, he knew
| it to be lie.
| Let US call attention to article No. 2.
In chasing his first article Buckeye was Kind
| enough to inform us, that at some future day
| he would dissect the "twin brother of the
| prodigy" he had just hung up to dry. He
was liberal enough to warn us to be
guard, and to stand in readiness to receive
the dissecting knife. We wonder how he
ould approach the mighty task. We had
heard of Sampson killing his thousands with
/ the jaw bo. of an ass But all these were r, Al
living men. They had an existcn e, and all he
had TO dc, was to attack and kill. We have
heard of the general marching against the en-
emy, and causing the blood of his fellow man
to flow in mighty torrents. But he was not
compelled to call his foes into being Far
otherwise was it with Brother Joh son. Be-
fore he could apply the CORY dissecting knife
to tie Twin Prodigy" he must call it forth.
| Accordingly he conceves it, and the child is
produced, perfect as he firmly believes in all
| its proportions. But his ardor was rather en-
thusiastic. He only desired twin prodigies,
| but Fate favored him, and behold third comes
st iding along with majestic mien, claiming
! equal immunites with the other two. No one
| he tells us he described and "desocted."
No is next in order. After speaking of
! that oft repeated portion of the Declaration of
], Independence, where all men are said to lie
created equal, in attempting to answer some
! positions which he fancicd were DR.. DIS. he
says: 1T would not do of course to let this
truth remain undisturbed for fear that its con-
centrated power might scorch the hearts of his
pro- slavery hearts, and writhing under its
burning influence, they might seek new, good.
honest, anti slavery hearts, So to prevent
this along comes No. 2. "But the child had
such grotesque appearance and looked SO un-
like its logical parent, that 1 must confess l
could hardly keep from laughing long enough
to take fair look at its very singular features
Then lie tells us he may not have hit it in the
task of delineat on. Such we behave to be
the case. But we are not surprised since we
have seen the sire, and julging from his ap-
pearance, anything Matched by him would be
miserable deformity indeed. -. ...
| He closes No. 2 by referring Or. D. to the
spelling book story about an OK being gored
| by rious bull. We wonder if the Rev
gentleman likens himself to this furious bull
carrying havoc and lesolation wherever he blows
Lis breath It seems to us he would compare
better with that other animal, which makes
loud noise but after all is nothing but an ass
His prodigy no we shall not say much about
as he was late in bringing it forth, and its pu-
sillanirnity needs no kick from us as its own
basis is to-" weak to support it. ~
"His theory" hetells us ''would put the knife
to the throat of slavery and let on, it's internal
hearts blood" What, high sounding words.

What beautiful figure! In fancy we can see

and dissectipD knif., combattinr m, N fnIIv with
the animal slavery, and letting out "its infer
