turb in any manner whatever, the rela

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

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

ing the week ending the 6th, prices
were a trifle higher. Middling qualities
having advanced l-16d. and fair l-6d

week comprised 80,000 bales, of which
speculators took 19,000 and exporters
10,500, leaving 49,500 of all descrip

There is nothing of any importance

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. In Louisiana, the education
|4 of the free people of color is encouraged
by the grant of money out of the public

A standard work of established reputation
found classed in the catalogue; of the great
trade sales in New-York, Philadelphia, and
other cities, and sold by the principal book
sellers in the United States. H was first
published in 1847, since which time

the author having devoted his exclusive at
tention to the treatment of complaints pecu-
liarjto females,in rcspectlo which he is yearly
consulted by thousands, both in persouancl
by letter.
Here every womau cart discover, by Com
paring her owu symptoms with those de
scribed, the nature, character, causes of, aud
the proper remedies for, her complaints.
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.
It is of course impracticable to Convey
fully the various subjects' '.rented of, as .they
are of a nature strictly iutended for the mar
ried o: those contemplating marriage.
In cousequcnce of the universal populari
