SIR THE query that we are about 70

CHANGED 2? TIE answer iis.yes, no. He

changed his politics. q After Ieconnoi-

ACCOUNTS for the tsniggerD minus; but
at All events, no ssnigger.i Poor man
How lovely. afoflorn, and Woe begenel
he appeafed,s as he viewed his worldly
n0ssessi0ns before him, and found noI
isnigger'5 there ri Universal eommiser-
alton was but his due and it is useless
to add that universal commiseration he
reeeiyed. Here was certainly a great
change He left his native County
buovant with hope; his cheeks aglowt
with the feryof Of youth, his ieyesspaFk-
ling with sweet ant ticfpati6hs, andlin the
Hexuberance of hisssspirits he was heard
10 exciaifn stffo, for higgerdota Hel
fer the promised land! Ina few short
months, he set foot, not on Maryland
my MARYLAND, - but on the free shores
of Ohio. The color in his cheeks
had faded away, his eyes had lost their
snarkline beauty. and TIE pulsations of
his heart were slow and laboTed. Here
indeed was a change; but, perhaps,
after underg Ding this metamorphosing
process. the doctor became petrifed,
Stereo-niggered, and could not change.
The day of his prototypes jefferson
and CalhonnAhas long since faded, into
night. flisc6nterap porarieswli0 endorsedI

True. t.ley made great many grimacesi
and Wry faces over it; but, neyerthe-1
less. they did it and rejoiced over their
victory: but Dr. Weyer remains far be-
hind, petrifiest, stereotyped, unable to
or recede, and worse than all
he was caught in this fixjust when he
was fluff Of eppositionotO negroism; so
the doctor says he has, iaeeer changed
his politics. This is bad, Missouri has
Changed; Ohio Deiti0cracy has changed; |
his native tUwnsIThas changed; his
church has changed; his family has
and with butsa single exeep-
tion an nature has changed, land that
exception Is DR.. Weyer. 4 What an
anomaly! We certainly thinkAthat he
has heard of the Yankee trick and is
counting allthat time, from .iilfantile
ape to the date of the Missouri tour,
lost time; but if this isso, where did he
get his JetferSonian and calhoun plat
pangling boy, but now he is q .aiie look
Ing man. He used to, wear home spun
like the rest of us, but now, like us. he
dons the broad cloth coat.
Here are external and bodily changes,
but among these DIR. Weyer politically
