Dear Sir, —Your favor of yesterday,
covering a letter from the Post Mas
ter at Charleston, in regard to the recent
violation ofthe United States Mail in that
place, and proposing to us to suspend the
transmission of our publications until the
views of the Post Master General shall
be received, —has been laid before the Ex
ecutive Committeee ofthe American An
ti-Slavery Society, and I am instructed, ve
ry respectfully, to transmit to you the fol
lowing reply, viz:
“Resolved, That while we are desirous
to relieve public officers from any unne
cessary difficulties and responsibilities we
cannot consent to surrender any of the
rights or privileges, which we possess in
common with our fellow citizens, in re
gard to the United States Mail,
, With much respect,
Yor obedient servant,
E. WRIGHT,Jr.
Sec. Dom. Cor. Am. Anti-S. Society.
To the President and Directors of the
American Anti-Slavery Society.
Gentlemen—l have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter yes
terday, covering a copy 7 of a resolution of
certain persons described as “the Execu-'
tive Committee of the American Anti-
Slavery Society.”
Early’- on the morning ofthe 7th inst, I
addressed a communication to you, enclo
sing a copy of one which I recieved from
the Post master at Charleston. Refering
you to the peculiarly delicate considera
tions which were involved in the case he
presented, I respectfully proposed to you
to suspend the transmission of your papers
until tho views of the Post Master Gener-1
al before whom the whole subject had I
been laid, could be received. This com- i
munication having been delivered to you i
by Mr Bates, the Assistant Post master,!
received a verbal assurancethat you would
cheerfully comply with the proposition I !
had made.—ln full confidence that this dis
position would not be changed, I gave the
necessary instructions to separate the pa
pers referred to, in making up the mail
for that portion of the country, and retain
them at this office. The resolution to
which I have referred, gave me the first '
intimation of the change of your views;!
and was received at this office about the
time of closing the mail. It was, there
fore, too late in fact, to cause a different
disposition to be made of these papers,
They were accordingly retained here in
pursuance of the original understanding
with you, nor will they be transmitted by
mail until the instructions of the Post mas
ter General shall have been received.
Having thus placed you in possession
ofthe facts, I beg leave to refer more dis
tinctly to the resolution of your committee
My views have been much mistaken, if it
is intended to imply that I required relief
at your hands from “any difficulty or res
ponsibuity” whatever, as “a public officer.’
Had you declined, in the first instance, the
proposition I had offered, my determina
t on would have been promptly announced
to y-ou.—Placed as I was in a peculiarly
delicate position —appealed to by an ofti- ■
cer of the same department ata distance. 1
to lend my aid in preserving the public
peace—securing the safe transmission of
the important contents of that valuable
branch of the mail department—and ar
resting a course of excitement which could
not fail to lead to the most disastrous re
sults, 1 should not have hesitated to
adopt that course, which in my 7 judge
ment the highest obligations imposed, had
it even demanded in some degree a tem
porary surrender of “the rightsand privil
eges”you claim to possess .While maifest
ing so openly your benevolence to the co
lored people, 1 thought I had a right to
claim someportion ofyour sympathies for
the white population of that section of
country, the peculiar situation of which
Mr. Hoffer had so fully described. I
would respectfuly ask, gentlemen, what
injury could result from a momentary sus
pension of your efforts, compared with that
which might have occurred, had they
been pushed at all hazards?
I entertain for you, and all your rights,
every sentiment of respect which is due,
and I deeply regret that a departure from
the original understanding, which prom
ised to prevent all excitement and colli
sion, has compelled me to express myself
so fully. 1 have reflected deeply on the
subject. The laws which secure to you
the rights you claim, also impose the pen
alties on those who infringe them. I shall
assume the responsibility in the case you
have made with me, and to the law and
my superiors will hold myself accounta
I ble.
With great respect, &c. &c.

INTENDED MEETINGS.
A Circular, (says the Boston Post, of
14th inst.) calling a meeting at Faneuil
Hall, of the citizens of Boston opposed to
the proceedings ofthe advocates of imme
diate emancipation, signed by about five
hundred individuals, was left at Top
liff’s yesterday, where it received a large
accession of subscribers. The list was
to remain open for signatures at the Read
ing Rooms and at the Globe In urance
Office, untill Saturday afternoon.
A great public meeting is to be held at
the Park in New-York some time the
present week. Tappan had taken his
family to Brooklyn, and some of his neigh
bors had removed from his dangerous vi
cinity.
We are pleased to learn (saysthe New-
York Courier &. Enquirer of Saturday
last,) from the following letter from a dis
tinguished gentleman in Philadelphia that
the inhabitants of that city, are about to
express their abhorrence of the Tappan
ists, and we feel a well grounded convic
tion that we of New-York shall not be
behind hand in condemning and holding
up to public execration, the most unprin
cipled and dangerous band of incendiaries
that every disgraced this or any other
country.
Philadelphia, Aug. 11, 1835
Dear Webb: We shall have a Town
Meeting in a few days, to express our dis
approbation of the conduct of those vile
men who inundate the South with their
detestable pamphlets. Our citizens are
opposed to their course, and it will be ex
pressed very fully,
“ I have no hesitation in saying, that the
town meeting in point of numbers, res
pectability, talent and wealth, will be the
greatest ever held in this city. All of our
prominent men and many of the clergy
will be present, under a deep conviction
that it is time to take some decided steps
against such bad men. If they do not de
sist, sooner or lat< r, they will bethe means
ot a general destruction of the negroes in
our cities, particularly here where it re
quires very little to produce an explosion.
The poor blacks are in a dreadful situ
ation, they are not to blame, but it is those
wretched abolitionists who do the mis
chief. Yours,
We stated yesterday (says the N. Y.
Star of Saturday) that the leaders of the
Abolition Party were to hold a Caucus,
and to decide on their future operations.
The meeting was held, but all the partic
ulars have not reached us. We are in-1
dined to the belief, that the business op- '
erations of the party have been sensibly >
injured by their connexion with this dan
gerous subject; and that Mr. Tappan, him
self, is aware of the necessity of his with
drawal from all participation in the eman
cipation affair: and we shall not be sur
prized to see the whole project abandoned
from prudent considerations.
In relation to their incendiary publica
tions, they wish it to be understood, that
they do not desire to force their circula- ■
tion upon those not disposed to receive '
them. It is a matter of no consequence to
the public how they back out from this ne
farious business; but they must retreat in
some way or other, and that speedily.”
An Effectual Estoppal.— A clergyman
named Scott, having unhappily become a
convert to the doct: ine of immediate aboli
tion, and burning with zeal to disseminate
his opinions, betook himself, last Monday,
to the good ami ancient town of Worces
ter, in Massachusetts, for the purpose of
delivering a lecture on slavery. Notice
had previously been given, and at the ap
pointed time the town hall was tolerable
well filled with auditors of both sexes
some of them abolitionists' but the grer.te r
number moved only by curiosity. The
lecturer had made but little progress j n
his discourse before symptoms of disappro
bation to the business in which he was en
gaged were strongly manifested. As his
sings became more frequent and loud, the
speaker raised his voice as in defiance of
the indications of disapproval, till a per
son present walked up in front ofthe desk,
and took away the lecturer’s notes. The
lecture was ofcourse,immediately suspend*
led. A call was then made to clear the
door ways for the females to pass
out. They retired, and after a few mo
ments Mr. Scott arid his friends left the
hall w ithout molestation, further than they
1 were accompanied by a large crowd to his
lodgings, which we understand, he left in
a short time, making his departure from
the town.
i
NEW-YORK, AUG. 15. The way
to check the influence of the fanatics and
abolitionists in New-York.— A gentleman
residing in East Broadway found a day
or two since, a copy of the Emancipator
thrown into the entry of his house. He
was not a subscriber to the paper, disap
proved of its doctrines, and regarded it as
a dangerous and incendiary publication.
He proceeded immediately to the office of
the Emancipator, where he saw the agent
of the paper. He demanded of him
whether he had authorized or ordered the
paper to be sent to his (the gentleman’s)
I house, or to the house of any non-subscri
ber in East Broadway, and at the same
time informed him that if such were the
case, he should immediately commence
an action of trespass against him. The
I gentleman, after some hesitation, inform
ed the gentleman that the sending of the
! paper to his house was unauthorised. It
may be well to state that the paper in ques-
I tion was headed with the words—“when
! gratuitous, please to circulate.” * * *
! Are not the circulators of the Emanci
pator among non-subscribers, tresspassers
in the eye of the law? If they are, they
can be easily reached, and every man on
whom a tresspass of this kind has been
committed, has an early and efficient rem
edy. a remedy provided by th” lew of the
land. We would advise an appeal to that
law, in every case in which it has been vi
olated.
From the Texas Republican, July 10.
Gonzales, July 4, 1835.
Gentlemen'.— Your communication per
Mr* Btirion has been received, and we are
glad to inform you that we have at length
received from the interior information that
may be depende 1 on. Mr. Gritton, whom
we are informed is a confidential friend
of the President, is now in this town, di
rect from the city of Mexico, who informs
us that all the reports of the unfriendly
disposition of the general government to
wards the colonies are false, and that if
troops are ordered on to Texas, it is lor
the purpose of counteracting any insurrec
tionary movements that might be conse
quent on the arrest of the land speculators
and corrupt officers of the state govern
ment. Mr G. has also with him the latest
Mexican papers, all of which express a
decidedly friendly disposition towards the
people of Texas; from these your secte
tary, Mr. Burton, has made copious ex
tracts,which precludes the necessity of nur
entering into a detail of their contents, he
has also copies of letters received l itely
from Judge Chambers, and Mr. Smith, of
Bexar, which will give you all the infor
mation that th is committee are poss ssed of.
In tho present attitude of affairs, whe n
the community is agitated by a thousand
contradictory reports, and demagogues are
busily engaged in circulating repo its cal
culated to mislead the people, and hurrv
them into rash and precipitate measures,
it appears to this committee to be a matter
of vital importance that a Convention be
immediately called, so that the feelings of
the people may be known on the subjects
that now engross and agitate the minds of
all men, and that by a formal investiga
tion of circumstances, the burthen may be
laid on the shoulders of those who have
been the originators of the disturbances.
The committee are of opinion that it is most
expedient that the call for a Convention
should be made by the municiaality of Mi
na ; and it is the opinion of this commit
tee, that by despatching rummers to
j the different municipalities, a Convention
I might be called together in 15 or 20 days.
Should you think it expedient to go into
this measure, and the committeedoubt not
that its importance will strike you at once,
you may depend on the hearty coopera
tion of this municipality. It is also the
opinion of this committee that the place
appointed for the meeting ofthe Conven
tion should be without the bounds of the
San Felipe Junto. In relation to the ex
pedition to the Indian village, we can only
say, that you may depend on our hearty
concurrence.
Respectfully,

President ofthe Committee of Safety.

“TVAa? is the Question upon which the
Freemen of this State are to vote on the
first Monday in October?"
The editor of the Augusta nullification j
“Sentinel” undertakes to say, at least for !
the people of Richmond, that this question |
with them will be narrowed down to that I
of “Van Buren or no Van Buren.”
Not so fast, friend Longstreet—you are
at least 15 months before the age in which
you live? It will be time enough for them
to setttle your query in the fall of 1836,
when they will be called upon to vote on
the Presidential Question. In the mean
time,’hey are preparing to settle the follow
mg, (which claims their more immediate
attention) —at the polls on the “first Mon
in October next."
Shall we keep the monster nullification
where it now is, under our feet or allow
it to raise up and trample our liberties in
the dust?
Shall we stick to the Old Hero and Pa
triot Andrew Jackson, or turn him over
to the tender mercies of those who tried
him in the United States Senate without
the benefit of Clergy?
Shall we sustain or desert his glorious
administration?
Shall we continue to enjoy, under the
protection of the Stars and the Stripes of
the Union, our Constitutional rights and
liberties, or look for their safe keeping to
John Calhoun and his palmetto buttonl
These are the true “questions upon
which the freemen” of Georgia “will be
called to vote on the first monday in Octo
ber next.” In the fall of 1836, they will
be called upon to decide Judge Long
street’s, viz: Van Buren and an election
by the people, or Tom Dick or Harry,
(which ever may be “available”) by Con
gress—and we have no doubt that they
will then render a righteous verdict.—A
thens Banner,
We cordially congratulate the citizens
of Milledgeville and its vicinity, on the
intended establishment ofa College in the
immediate vicinity of our town. The
Presbytery of Hopewell determined, at its
lute session in Washington, to locate at
Midway, a mile and a half from this place,
the literary institution which they have
for some time had in contemplation, and
which will be commenced as soon as the
remaining amount of subscriptions shall
be obtained. Its location was warmly
and closely contested with us, before the
Presbytery, by the village of Washington;
and we learn that one more vote would
have carried it against us—the motion to
strike out “ Midway” from the report of
the Committee, failing by parliamentary
usage—the ayes being 14, the noes 14.
In commendation of the liberality of
our citizens, we mention the fact, that on
the reception of information that another
site than our own was proposed, and pe
cuniary inducement offered in its favor,
nearly twenty-five thousand dollars was
promptly subscribed by a limited number
—the list exhibiting eleven subscriptions
of one thousand dollars each, and twenty
of five hundred.
W'ith the seat of government now per
manently established, and a literary in
stitution of such reputation as we trust
ours will become, Milledgeville may well
look forward to a degree of improvement
to which she has not hitherto aspired. To
the complete attainment of that prosperity
which her resources might command, we
yet need steam boat navigation on our
river; and this, we learn, will not be left
much longer unaccomplished by the en
terprize of our citizens.— Recorder.

FLORIDA COFFEE!! I
Never, since the days of wooden Nut
megs,hassuchan imposition been practiced
upon the community as Florid i Coffee.
From what I had read of it in the news
papers I was induced to plant some. Il
is true it grows very luxuriantly, but as
yet I have not seen a bloom or a form,
and never expect to I have since tasted
it, and find that it has about as much the
taste of coffee as a green pumpkin has to a
pomegranate. The lot in which I planted
it is near my house,and it positively smells
so bad that I cannot suffer my window to
remain open towards it alter night and my
conscience would not inflict such punish
ment on a negro as to make him pull it up;
for 1 verily believe it would terminate the
existence of any man, or at least injure
the strongest constitution to handle it three
hours—therefore, 1 will have to bear the
pestilence brought on by myself, until wel
come frost shall lay to her’ helping hand
and remove it—to which time I look with
restless impatience. I find, “of a truth”
that no insect but the bee or wasp will stay
on it, and for a good reason, for I believe
it would produce instant death. It is very
true that it requires but a low fence, for 1
don’t believe that there is any animal on
earth that would eat it, and if they would,
it could be very well spared.

BENE PLANT.
-4 certain cure for the summer com
plaint.—The numerous applications for
this valuable medical plant has induc
ed us to raise a number to accommo
date the demand and it can now be
had by aplyingto Robt. Sinclair Jr.at his
seed store, connected with this office. It
is thus noticed in Fessenden’s American
Gardener;—A few' leaves of the plant
when green plunged a few times in a turn
bier of water, makes it like a thin jelly,
without taste or color, which children af
flicted with the summer complaint will
drink freely, it is said to be the best reme
dy ever discovered.
Editors by noticing the above in their
papers, maybe the means of saving the
lives of hundreds of children, the efficacy
ofthe piant being fully ksted.

The relation which we have pointed out be
tween the Abolitionists and Nullifiers may be
illustrated by reference to the conduct of those
w’ho call themselves Stale Rights men, but es
chew’ Nullification. The Nullifiers eschew’ Abo
lition, yet would profit by it all they could, to
gain political weight. So the State Rights men,
so called, uphold the Nullifiers for their assist
ance, and resent, as aimed at them, every blow
which smites their confederates. The alliance
is equally honorable—equally praise-worthy I
The Nullifiers, as long as they dared to lie on
the subject, stoutly maintained, that the North
was deeply poisoned against the South—its
whole population ready to engage in a bloody
crusade against our domestic institutions ; and
if w-e were not wakened into madness by their
alarms, we would forever regret the unnatural
supireness in which we were buried—always
insinuating that they, immaculate souls I w r ere
the only true friends of their country—the only
sentinels awake on the watch-tower of South
ern safety! What turns out to he the fact?—
They were silenced for a while, by the develop
ments of sound feeling, last year, at the North ;
and while some of them keep, as a standing ar
ticle in their papers, the HWand odd societies in
thirteen States! composed as they know, of a few
old women and free negroes, those, who have
any shame at all, are obliged to admit, the abo
litionists are a mere handful of culprits, scouted
at home and too contemptible for even Lynch's
law. 1 These begin to admit, into their papers,
some little evidence of their falsehoods, little
by little, as the storm, brewing at the North,
pushes its roar within their hearing. Yes, you
will hear it, this week, in a style, that shall si
lence even your impudence for the future. Phil
adelphia,N. York,and Boston are stirring. They
feel it time to silence these slanders on their pa
triotism. Nullifiers and Abolitionists! your end
is near. Well may you turn pale. The hand
of Heaven is in the business. Tbe destiny of
this happy country is in its keeping. It wills,
that all this agitation shall only bind this Union
closer and closer, and strengthen its energies in
the great race of freedom it has yet to run.—
Aye, stand, like those in whose face has flashed
the keenest blaze of Heaven’s anger, trembling
with fear, but sullenly yielding to an arm you
cannot resist. Your end is here.
We understand, says the Richmond Compil
er, that the sum of twenty thousand dollars has
been made up in New Orleans, as a reward to be
paid for the delivery of ARTHUR TAPPAN,
the celebrated Agitator, upon the levee in that
city. Tappan will soon find that even his ex
treme wealth will not enable him to repose in
quiet; and he may himself realise the apprehen
sions which he has been instiumentalin inflict
ing u a on others.
Monday, the 7th ol September, is announced

A letter to the editor of the New York Eve
ning Post, from Baltimore, says, “ The whole

the recent riots, does not exceed seven.
“Among the persons wounded were Lieut.

Langdon Cheves, attorney at law; Col. Finley;
Lieut. Hendricks; Dr. S. Baker, jr. severely by
a stone; not expected to live.”

FATAL RENCOUNTER.
A difficulty occured in our town, (says the
Columbus Enquirer, of 21 t,) on Tuesday even
ing last, between Mr. James Johnson, formerly
of Augusta, Ga. and Mr. John M. Bottom, for
merlj’ of Virginia, in which the former received
a pistol shot near the region of the heart, and ex
pired in a few moments. Mr Bottom surren
dered himself to the Sheriff, on the following
day, and was recognized in the sum of ten thou
sand dollars, to appear at the. next Superior
Court to stand his trial. We have heard the
circumstances, but as the case will undergo a
judicial investigation, we have no right at pre
sent to detail them.
ArriraZ of Capt. Back.— We under
stand (says the Montreal Herald, of Sat
urday) that this intrepid traveller has ar
rived at Ltichine from his journey to the
frozen regions of the North, in search ol
Capt. Ross. We learn that he is in fine
health and spirits.
The editor ofthe Milledgeville Times is
rather rapid on thesubject of Mr. Van Bu
ren.—Among other things he objects to
his vote on the Tariff; when the whole (
world knows that in voting for it he obey- \
ed instructions from the Legislatue of his <
State. Fie upon it, Mr. Times, a’nt you
a pretty Republican to object to that fund
amental Democratic principle, the repre
sentative is bound by the wi 1 of his consti

CROPS.
The excessive rains we understand
have so rnueh injured the cotton crops of
West Florida, that the planters have aban
doned the cotton fields; the corn crops
are abundant.— N. O. Bulletin.
Sugar Crop.— We regret to state, from
good authority that the sugar crop of this
state cannot yield more than one half as
much as the last season. The prospect
in Attakapas it is stated is better than on
the coast; some planters on the river can
not turn out any thing except corn, of
I which most abundant crops have been
made.— lb.
Extracts of letters from Mississippi.
Jackson, July 29, 1835.
Have visited Madison, Yazoo, Holmes,
and Carroll counties, and found crops in
a prosperous condition. It is however
apprehended that the late hot weather will
materially injure the' crops growing on
level land, should not such be the case,
the crops generally through the state will
be abundant.
Jackson, August 5.
, It is now feared the crops will not be
so abundant as we were led to believe but
a few days.since—the almost continued
rains, with short intervals of extreme heat,
has given an appearance to the cotton
fields which a Week ago we could not
have supposed possible—if this kind of
weather continues a few days longer, the
present forms will all fall off; from what
we learn from adjoining counties we can
not anticipate any thing favorable. The
corn crop is unusually abundant.— lb.

I WILL REMEMBER THEE.
I will remember thee ; thy form will be
Mingled with lingering images of all
That gave those lost hours wings of bliss to me
When, arm in arm, we wandered where the
fall
Os this thy river’s radiant fountains made
The sunset-silence musical, under its fringing
shade.
I will remember thee, with loveliest biex-ra
Os early roses, such as these thy hand
Culled for me in the grave-yard’s flowery gloom,
(Where rest thy sister’s ashes, in the land
Ot dark and long oblivion ;) likest thee
Their bursting, blushing charms, and therefore
dear to me.
I will remember thee, when woods, as now,
O’ershadow me at noontide ; and the sweet
Breathings of virgin violets, as pure as thou, •
Nor purer, from dim moss-banks of the hill
sides greet
Me in my weary wanderings, ’mid the trees
Os mine own father-clime—to ’mind me but ot
these.
I’ll think of thee with streamlets; and green
leaves
Shall murmur of thee; and the fairest star
That shines above me, as mild Eveningweaves
Hsr proud pavilion in its splendor—far,
But not forgotten—will I sadly choose
To link with thoughts of thee, when most I love
to muse.
I will remember thee, in coming days,
When I may tread the stranger’s lonely shore,
And ponder upon old temples in the haze
Os twilight—where the mighty arc no more—
(Though still the soil teems richly withthepride
Os buried greatness, and the skies are dyed
With hues of gone-down glory:) even then,
And there, the memory of the loveliness
That cheered this solitude, may cheer again—
The echo of past pleasure—and thy grace
Bless me in all things; lady, on the sea
Or land, in joy or anguish, I’ll remember thee!
