We cut the following paragraph from the Jacksonville Courier — It is an elegant specimen of southern logic: –
‘Of one fact, I am certain and positive – never in any way, that the wit of man can devise, to have anything do with an abolitionist, sooner than with an assassin, as I look on them as being on a level in every respect — from both of whom, I instinctively shrink as from the touch of a viper.’
(Liberator, March 30, 1838, pg 4)
