We give him the benefit of his explanation. He can't see how any one could possibly "deny so plain a fact."

He says:-
"under the above title appeared an article in the "Virginian," in which, from a want of knowledge of facts, probably, the writer was extremely sever in his denouncement of the conduct, of one whom he called a 'Disciple of Miscegenation,' &c. The facts were these ; which we give, hoping to correct a false impression.

"At the close of Sabbath School, a pupil, wishing to obtain a hymn book, was told, that those for sale were at our house. Being determined to obtain one, she watched us start and came down the walk at the same time.

We thought of asking her to walk behind, lest we might be misrepresented. But the thought that she was, as we supposed, known to be a pupil, and that we were going nowhere else than from School home, and that it was known that our business brings us necessarily into contact with these people, more than it does citizens, would, we thought, save us from being misunderstood in our motives.

As to "Miscegenation in Stuanton" we will not deny so plain a fact; but do most emphatically deny being a "Disciple" ourselves, as no man can be more opposed to the doctrine than we are, and have ever been."
