Again : It seems to be the datiing Wish of the friends of this Society to procure State, and even Government •id. This may be ::o intention *' 10 dis turb in any manner whatever, the rela tion of master and slaveand yet. we here make the prediction, in the light \>f the past mancevcrings of this great bamboozling party, that if Government •id is ever afforded for this object, it will be the entering wedge to a thousand helps to the advancement of the principles of Abolitionists. Fugitive slaves, a thou sand to where there is now one, will be found assisted to the free States: and then, with “ Government pap,” assisted to this same colony of Liberia. 1 do not profess to be able to scan the future, nor do I hunt trouble where its shadow is not cast before: but I believe this sub ject of Government aid, in this matter, if properly viewed, cannot be looked Upon in any other light than that in brhich I have endeavored to present it. As to the other reasons of “ S.” they have force with Southerners, only where they do not “ p iy too dear for the whis tle.” It is well for us to get rid of the free blacks—and let us do so, if that object can be accomplished without pulling up the good seed while we are rooting up the tares. The truth is, until the Abolition par ty, (and that is pretty well the entire North,) have greatly mended their man ners and implored their morals, it will lie dangerous and demoralizing for "Southerners to be connected with them, .in the remotest manner, where negroes, "even though they be free, are called in ■qaestion. If we allow the"» to dictate and legislate to us and for the free negro, the neit step will be greater effort and greater plausibility in the plea for the injury and destruction of the institution of elavery. If any one will take the trouble to in vestigate, they will pretty certainly as certain that the principals of this Socie ty have strong free soil proclivities, i nothing worse; and farther, the contri tutors, principally at the North, are We introduce this, only to show whe ther or not this Society proposes inter ference between master and slave. It is useless. to answer. The whole spirit of the Colonization Society, as it now exists, is unworthy of our .approval, and its language, when spoken, condemna tory of the ** unnatural and unchristian” relation of master and slave. R. foreign' Urns. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER NASHVILLE. OF THE " SOUTHERN WATCHMAN.' New York, April 17, 1855. The all absorbing topic of the Eastern War makes the arrival of mails from Europe a subject of the deepest interest Let a boat be delayed, by adverse winds or other eauses, but a day beyond her wonted time, and her “ pedigree and performances’ 1 become as much the subject of discussion as the points and qualifications of the most noted racer is amongst sporting gents. No sooner does i he booming of a gun from an expected mail r verberale through our streets, than congregated news-boys, clad in habiliments in every stage of dilapida tion, spring up from a state of lethargy, and before the vessel is well secured at her moorings, are coursing through the streets, vociferating the contents of the extras, pitching their voices piano or futte, according to the degree of interest or importance of the communications re ceived. We have had two arrivals from Europe this week—the Washington from Southampton, and the America from Liverpool, bringing intelligence up to seven days later than ou • last intelli gence. The news brought is not of a very important nature. There have been a few slight skirmishes at the Crimea, the results of which have been about equalized between the beligerents. Louis Napoleon's expedition to the Crimea is delayed; he and the Empress being about to visit the Queen of England. What a change has come New Yo’-k, April 22. TheU S.

There was also an active specu lative demand, and the sales during the week comprised 80,000 bales, of which speculators took 19,000 and exporters 10,500, leaving 49,500 of all descrip tions to the trade. The market closed firm, with an upward tendency at 5|d for Fair Orleans, 5|d for Middling Or leans, 5Jd for Frir Upland and 5 1 -16d for Middling Uplauds. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. There is nothing of any importance from the seat of war.

New Spring & Summer GOODS. I “out-and-outers,” while at the Siuih, they are composed of luke-warm slave holders, “the Mis-* Nancys” and “ Set tlers” from free States. Now, l would like a few extracts from the April No. of the Repository, to bi* read by thi' apologizer of the Colo nization Society. For instance, in the first place, the following ponion of a preamble to a resolution of the Pennsyl vania Legislature, which the editor of this publication, with other managers, heartily endorses: Whereas, Pennsylvania is honorably distinguished ia having led the way in benevolent efforts to improve the condi tion of the African race in this country, and in hrving seized thejirst moments of her independence from foreign dominion to abolish slavery, as inconsistent toith her benevolent institutions, and, in the eloquent language of the Legislature of that day, “ in grateful commemoration of our happy deliverance from that state of unconditional submission ter which we were doomed by the ‘yranny of Brit ain it seems, therefore, proper, that an association of enlightened and phi lanthropic men, who have united to form, for free persons of color, an asy lum in the land of their fathers, should receive ihe countenance and support of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania Ac. Ac. Again—an extract from the report of the N. Jersey Colonization Society : “ This Society has for its object to ele vate and bless the free colored people of our own country ; to rescue from slave ry, those who, otherwise, must descend in bondage to the grave." Next, and lastly, from the Col. Her ald, in relation to colored persons, now -owned and held. It seems the Legisla ture of N. Carolina is to be memorial ized upon the subject of elevating the condition of slaves, by “ establishing the institution of matrimonyprevent ing parents and children being sold apart; and allowing slaves and free col ored persons to be taught, so that they may “ read ifre Bible and other good looks." Of course, they must be taught so as not to read anything else! But the following is the extract im mediately upon the heel o! that just above'. “ A lengthy and ably prepared argu vnent follows in advocacy of these mea sures, and several authorities are cited ia their favor. It is stated that the laws«f Louisiana prohibit the separation of young children from their parents ; and that, in Georgia and Alabama, the same thing has been either debated in the Legislature, or suggested in the Governor's annual message. Judge O’Neal!, of South Carolina, has propos ed not only this, but several other im portant reforms in the slave code Among them, he hints at the propriety of establishing matrimony and of en eouraging education. Other writers in y- the same State take similar ground 'The Southern Agricultural Association, which seams to have originated inGeor gia and South Carolina, has twice ap pealed to the benevolence and good sense of the South, in favor of reform, -with a view to the elevation of the col ored race.

The w;fe about becoming a mother has often need of instuction and advice of the tr.most importance to her future health, it: respect to which her sensitiveness forbids consulting a medical gentleman, will find such instruction and advice, and also explain many symptoms which otherwise would oc casion anxiety or alarm, as all the peculiari ties incideut to her situation aft described. IIow many are suffering from obstructions or irregularities peculiar to th e female ay stem, which undermine the health, the effects of which they are ignorant, aud for which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice?— Marry suffer from prolapsus uteri (falling of the womb), or from jtwre a!bus (weakfae**. debility, &:.) Many are in coustaut agony for many months preceding confinement.— 1 Many havedifficult, if not dangerous delive ries, and slow and uncertain recoveries.— Some whose lives are hazarded during sueh time, will each find in its pages the meads* ot prevention, amelioration and relief.
