It was he that made the assertion about the "arsenic," as being "universally in the hands of the slaves." I shall now let him review my little stories.

I quote many of his words:-- "'To show the ignorance and simplicity of our travelling' lady, we give the following,--and what will the North say to this new argument in favor of slavery?
namely, a truckle-cart! a black boy riding!! two white boys giving him a ride!!! and three girls, one of them black! arm in arm!! romping.

'It is not the fault of this writer, that she cannot understand a principle;' 'she is a New England Orthodox,'-- 'and a fair specimen of the limitations of that type of mankind.' 'But does not the lady know,' why negro boys are put in truckle-carts?
'If not, any of her Southern friends could have told her.' We can tell her; 'we have lived at the South.' These white boys were sent on an errand with their cart, and to increase its momentum down hill, and, withal, to tease and worry a fellow-creature, with a skin not colored like their own, they made this poor slave-boy get in.

She should have seen the poor creature trudging home, up hill, under a Southern sun, after the little white tyrants had done with him, unless it was the case, which we more than half suspect, that the ride was a stratagem to convey the poor child to the auction-block.

'How the merry dogs,' the white boys, must have laughed at this Northern lady's complacent looks at them.
