JOut W6HttctH century duUuCtl0U.
It's true that did not quote Mr.. Frouds
verbatimly, giving only the substance, but
Truths correction simply strengthen
me, as w&le | gave | rs Ar Fs opinio,
he realty makes it out to be properdiai, that
exceptions are supposed to prove the very
opposite of what they seem to prove" and
likens he negro rising to emmmvnce by his
W talent and character to a particular
phenomenon. which rarely occurs with the
probabilities strongly against its recurrence.
Thanks " Truth for this favor so u|ninten-
tionally rendered me.)
| then declare in his own words, his
Truths quotation is q corruption of text. .
The shooting ARRAY Truth adduces, |
have no knowledge OF. but bis vague citation.
which acknowledges that there was an
erchange Of bullets ending IN the
killing of several people, not SEATING who
began the shooting, nor whether the killed
were Blacks or Whites, or both, hence, l AM
in no position to judge of the merits or
dement's of the conflicting parties but by it
Truth " supports my last statement, that
in some States he Negro is inundated from
voting by the American people, aud as he does
not advance any argument against the latter'a
justification for SO doing, | let the matter lie
at rest.
The insinuation from " Truth "of my
insensibility or insincoriDy,' carries no
weight, as he declares it to be but his opinion
after a |, thus intimating that had his brains
not been developed however impsrfectIy)
such Nn idea would never have occurred.
Now to sum mp.
However slyIy and indirectly, he charges
me in his Introduction, with InduIging in
personalities, epithets, abuse, f~alsitlss, vani-
tics, &c, &c" But what | have already
produced therefrom, as we'll as a careful
study of his unique production will surely
illustrate, that if any one be guilty-of
these-he is the man.
Besides his dishonest quotations, &c,
already exposed, he discacds Dickens as
authority, and accuses crowned heads of
hypocrisy, !. g., saying what they do not
moan, and which is not permissible by
courtesy. He %pronounces against Mr.. Frouds
. 70 err is human" he declares Mr.. Salmon
ito be mistaken, !" and in want of knowledge
of facts.
Now, the civilized world know these
personages, and admit them to be reliable.
But pray who is he (Truth) anyhow
this avowed and vaunted public champion
and mouthpiece, whence his very superior
talents and education, that he SO conceitedlJ
aspires to such a position ?
Facts which need to be acquainted with,
before I could concede him the right, he SC
egregiously lays claim to, viz to repudiats
such authorities.
Let me now advise him to "Buy the truth
for he is such only in Imagination
It's true he has not written what he styles
a long winded epistle, but be has attempted
by his ''sciolisms" dishonest quotations and
sophistry to impose on a probably crednlous
public, therefore | pronounce him to be from q
controversial standpoint, like a spurious coin
a counterfeit-a fraud.
By the way is not 'Truth" and "A Lover
of Music one and the same person, and was
he not recently masked as "Musidorous? If
so, he is like a scalene triangle, with three
unequal sides.
Now Sir, knowing the nature of the CORE
spondent "Truth'' as betrayed by his writ.
ings, l will naturally expect him to patch UP
some sort Of a reply to this, but let me inform
him, that america" will no more cond escend
to notice the peculiar rubbish of a character (ol
his compeers) who by the aid of his pen, com
mits g%rievous deeds, and while so doing,
barefacedly attributes them to his oppo-
nent.
Thanking you for the last time Mr.. Editor,
l remain, very truly yours,
AMERICA.
