South Side Views ;"

| "Dr Whedon and the Fathers. Also DR..
Haygood's Our Brother in Black.
The above is the title of an so page
pamphlet sent us by Rev, DR.. W. j. Scott.
1t is in part reply TO some structures made
! by Dr. Whedon, editor of the Northern
| Methodist Review, upon an article publish
ed by DR.. Scott, vindicating the memory of
Bishop Andrews, from Northern fanatical
hate that deposed him from the office of
Bishop on account of his inheritance of
slave property. DR.. Whedon is very Sc
we're upon DR.. Scott and upon the South.
But DR.. SCOTS reply is one of the ablest
productions we have ever read. He un>
covers the hypocrisy and exposes the ig-
norance of DR.. Whedon with a pungency
and clearncss that should make that gentle
man hang his head in shame. 1t is a mas.
terly answ er and will be read with interest
Dr. SCOTS reply to DR.. Haygood's "Our
Brother in Black, " or rather his Monteagle
speech, shows more comprehensive con-
ceptiOn of the negro problem, coupled with
HIS 6UuCdllOu, udUllS anu utSllH1t lndu any
writer that has deigned to handle this sub
ject. His views are broad and statesman
like. While he treats Or. Haygood with
the utmost courtesy, and attributes to him
pure motives and character for integrity
equal to the best, yet he takes up DR.. Hay
goods points one by one, and by the force
of reason, truth and history, strips them OF
their sophistries and leaves them bare and
naked absurdities with nothing to COM
mend them to an enlightend public senti
ment and sympathy. His argument is sim
ply unanswerable and will stand the closest
analysis in the crucble of common sense.
DR.. Scott is scholarly, classic and brainy,
and is more than aSmatch for DR., Haygood
We trust that every one of our readers will
procure and peruse this pamphlet, for it
presents this whole subject in its true light.
