ery. Every institution subject to abuse, White and black concubines. Illegitimate children, CHAPTER I. Which side of the question are you on, Sir? Ultraists North and South. Writers who disseminate erroneous views. Uncle Tom's Cabin a work of that class, The Author of our existence made us to differ mentally and physically, We all look through different glasses, some view objects through a microscope--exaggeration is their _forte_. Their minds were cast in a fictitious mould, It is a dire calamity that this class of writers have taken hold of the subject of slavery, Slavery an evil--but what shall we do with it?
