to. He referred to some "renegade from Connecticut, who had come to Philadelphia to earn his bread and butter—an impudent scoundrel, vagabond, Yankee pedler, "who has printed the august name of one negro named PURVIS in Frederick Douglass` Paper, and to whom Mr. DOUGLASS "was mean and contemptible enough to open his columns!"—(Have you heard of any such gentry as this out your way?) The immortable Bob failing to get applause, which he seems to regard as his right, over his disgusting and contemptible billingsgate, here stopped short. After some further quibbling the resolutions were put and lost—lost!

The citizens of Philadelphia know their rights, and ask nothing of McKIM and this self-sufficient impudent PURVIS, but that they keep at their respective posts out of our way. One is a Saxon, the other very near it; and we believe that neither has any other interest in us than to hold us up before the public as subscribers to their views, and thus aid their cause and enlarge their subscription
