On the whole, I'VE have made up our
mind not TO vsit for an answer from Rev
Nehemi,h Adams, or anybody else. We
are of opinion that the negro. by emigra.
tion(2) to the land of the white man, has
not escaped the great law of Ham. He
has, been roasted under it, boiled under it,
sliced under it. carved under it, peppered
under II, picked under it, and pretty effect,
ually cured under IL. He has had a. fai:
share of lhc great law OF, Ham, 10 Alsba.
ula, and we are free TO say that we a'e not
sorry that the great law has been set aside
We have bad enough Of it on this continent
Humanity demands that Ham hereafter
shall be served up under the same general
laws,thst apply TO the treatments of other
human flesh Let Us have done with tic
