On Monday, the 2Sth instant, the New York

We ask particular attention to this card
developing as 1t does the existence Of a state
Of society SO shocking as to render it doubt
full whether the story Of PAsIPaAE may
not have been founded on something more
substantial than the dreams of q deeply
corrupted imagination. We call upon Mr..
CHARMS SUMNER to take notice, that the
unutterable depravity, SO ruthlessly and yet
SO properly exposed by this card, have NO con.
neciion whatever with slavery. We thank
q I'd that such things never did happen and
never will happen, in the States that lie south
of Masons aud Dixon's line. They did, and
could have happeGed nowhere, save in those

daughters Of the model republic 80 many

superficial that only when the much torment

such q question - this can never b asked In
the Southern States, whexe parents pay atten-
ton to the morals and manners Of their daugh-
tiers. But why should the question be asked
even in the city Of New Yorkf Does not the
