Hon. W. B. WARREN
Respected Sil-I take pleasure in answer
ing the enquiries propounded by you as TO my
acquaintance and knowledge OF one Paul Selby,
formerly a resident of this city, bet now depart
ed TO regions unknown TO me-. Said oeiby While
a resident of this city, was engaged as Editor OF
one of the most violent, ultra, rabid. aooiitlon
newspapers that | have ever seen. In isct, II
belched forth from its sinking n~ostrils, seiui-
ments that was not not only disgraceiul 10 =
white man, but even a negro would have fell
degraded by his fulsome praise OF the negro race.
During his publication of the aforesaid sheet, so
ardent was he in the cause of human liberty, las
he termed III and so completely submerged in
his iavoTiie idea Of the equality OF man, that his
social feelings seemed to be directed TO that one
idea and all who from self-respect or conscien-
tious motives, differed from him in his one idea,
became the object of public abuse through his
columns, for which he received a public chastise-
ment. And ! can say it was the universal feel
ing Of all good citizens, that the community had
been purged OF a public a~gitator, and for the good
OF the harmony and quiet of our ~city-sufhce 1t
to say, that since the SAID SeIby has fled, the same
paper is in operation and in other hands, and
still conducted as an Black Republican paper.
i do not write this from any malicious motives,
or flom any feeling of hostility towards said
Selby, but at your request as regards my knowl-
edge of him.
refer you to T. L. McGill, s. II. Kennedy &
Co, Geo. Sweet, firm of NJ. d.. Cooper & Col
of New Orleans. whether a statement from me
can be relied on. Respectfully,

of the personal and political anticedents OF one
Paul Selby. In answer, | have 10 say, that l
knew him for a considerable time in Jackson
vile. as the editor Of a newspaper, which he
prostitu,ed by making ii a medium for the full
mination Of the most malignant aud extreme
doctrines Of the anti-slayery school of political
fanatics, and for the c~owardly abuse of all those
within his reach who opposed him. Having
been horse whipped once OF o!tener for his men
dacity towards the object OF his %habitual, person
al and political abuse, his resort was 10 the court,
which, with the aid OF his political sympathl-
sers, he sought 10 pervert as an engine Of pollti-
cal persecution and prescription.
