ed state Of our columns, and the pressure OF
important matters upon our attention, we
have postponed from day to day, comment up
on this document, Astounding, as it does, in
studied Misrepresentation, shallow sophistries,
miserable puerilities, bad logic, and worse doc
trine. We are the more reconciled to our 81
lence, by having observed that it did not ava
ken single response from the popular heart.
It has fallen still-born from the pen of its au-
thor. The Oxford Mercury has rescued it
from the grave of oblivion to which just
public verdict has consigned it, by powerful
and unanswerable exposition of its fallacies,
and q severe rebuke to its authors for the laid
and comfort which it will afford Ito the ex-
tent of its capacity for mischieO to the enc
mics Of the South. We hope none Of our
readers will fail to give the article transferred
to our columns from the Mercury, a calm and
attentive perusal. #f
