From the Philadelphia Courier , “SOCIA LA M ALGA M A TIOX.” In our last, we had occasion to speak of tLe resolutions, passed by the “Anti-Slavery Society of American Women.’ From every section, those remarks have met approval. The rush to our counting-house for extra papers was very „ reat on Saturday, and v. e regret that wc had not increased our edition much beyond what we did to supply the demaud. We never coutd, for a moment, suppose that any considerable portion of society were in favor of tire doctrine of social amalgamation, between the blacks and whites. To us, it was painful to witness a body of American women, going into a heated assembly and deliberately resolving, that tliev would use all their efforts to bring about free 8B( j unrestrained intercourse between the blacks mid the whites. It should be remembered that the “Anti-Slavery Society of American Women” Resolved, To act out the principles of Chris tian equality, by associating with them, as though the color of the skin was of no more consequence than that of the hair and the eyes.” Wc. yield to no one in our respect for the tai nts and virtues of “American Women.” Wo man wields a mighty influence over society. As in oral, intellectual, Christian Guardian—as the head of her family, the oxamplerof her children ,:nd the counsellor us her husband —she is the brightest star us civilized society. Here we in stall her as the queen of our honest affections.— Hut, when she d'spends from this high eminence »!' purity and affection 9 rul becomes a brawling am( spotting politician, seeking tq break down all the laws of nature h. her heate<l attempts tq “*«»- the races,” wc must be ungallsmt epongh to U\ her that she has indeed fallen from the high estate lor which Uogven has sq preeminently en dowed her, We are well aware of the cant, used by certain lady fanatics, that “You men wish to abridge the privilige* of our sex,” This is mere tv attic, No wamatt of good seqsq would ever wish to overleap the boundaries of h«r proper sphere.—No guod wife or faithful mother would ever fed willing to abandon the sacred duties of her peaceful house bold, for the unsavory applause of “a promiscu ous public assembly,” cutpppsedofa generous in termingling of blacks and whites of all sexes. The w ife* who has been well-bred, will be the last to assume the character of a “petticoat politician.” She must have a contracted idea of her husband's abilities, to guard her political rights, who virtu ally says to him—“ You pvt on the apron and see to the turning of the spit and the washing of the dishes, and 1 will take the rail-mad and steam boat and go into the town, and villages to enlight en the people upon their political rights. Yes see to the safety of the Commonwealth. If society is to be reversed, wo say let those la dies who have determined to become politicians, “go the whole figure” and change wardrobes with their husbands. If they are to rule the State, they will look better in trousers than petticoats. Pantaloon- are better suited to travelling by “steamboats and stages”—besides the husband will look far better v, a-hteg dishes in gaums that) in trowsers . Wo never yet became admirers of the Mary Wolstoncraft school.- or ofthe doctrines of Fan ny Wright, We have had the audacity to think that the Commonwealth might be safe without the “sweet voices” of Amazon politicians. We have an idea that the Southern States can take care of their political priviliges, if Mrs. Grimke Weld and Mrs. Chtpmau should quit their public lec tures and attend to tlnur own families’ hose and clean linen. Lot them look to the well being of their children {if they have any,) until the South ask them to take care of the well being of their political compact. If they must lecture or “burst the boiler of their brain,” let them lecture their husbands and their little ones on their duties to themselves and the Republic ; and when the South find that they cannot take rare of their State rights without the aid of their Amazon voices and those ot their spouting competitors, we have no doubt they will elect them as the future Political God mothers of their reserved Liberties. From the Richmond HV/g, June?. COM ML RCIAL CO X V KXTIOX. This body brought its labors to a close on Saturday evening. We give a summary of its proceedings. Little good, we fear, lias been ac complished, save jive good feeling which it li as generated, and which, diffused throughout the Commonwealth, will, we hope, ultimately yield a rich harvest of good fruits. Ihe Convention recommended an increase of the banking capital, and the vigorous prosecution ofthe various important lines of intern;;] improv meat now in progress, as essential to the attain ment of the great end in view. They also recom mend another .State Convention to assemble in Nonolk in November next, and the appointment o» Delegates to the Augusta Convention. Ihe Convention dissolved in the finest possible good humor, about 3 o’clock, Saturday, and ad journed to “Bacon's Spring,” to partake of a din ner provided by the Richmond Delegation.

It will be seen with pleasure, by reference to the advertisement in this day’s paper, that Miss Har vey, of Macon, will open a Female School in our town on Monday next. From the oppor tunities we have- had of being informed of her qualifications as an instructress, we can confident ly recommend her to the patronage of the public. Florence has been perfectly healthy this year, and parents and guardians who wish to educate their children and wards need be under no apprehen sion for tlieir health in sending them here. We bespeak for Miss If. the liberal patronage of a gen erous community, Wo are informed the Union party of Stewart county nominated on Wednesday last, as their candidates, Dr, C:\tohings, for the Senate, and Green R, Ball, F.sq, for tho House of Represen tatives, The Sub-Treasury bill has been again laid in the shade in the House of Representatives hy a vote of ayes 111, n;;ys 126. Weil done, Try it again Subs, The. Southern Post. —This paper, published in tlie city of Macon, by Mr. C. R. Hanleifer, and edited by P. C. Pendleton, Esq. has been consid erably enlarged— put on an entire new dress, and makes a very handsome appearance, and is calcu lated to win tlie approving smiles of the ladies, as its “ sailing-master ” we arc informed is quite a fa vorite among them. If wc are not much mista ken in flic said “sailing-master” wo think we can bear testimony to the truth of the assertion. The Post, however, shows for itself. It is a Literary a.id Miscellaneous publication entirely, well do sen mg the patronage of a generous community. ' W c wish our enterprising friends of the I*:st, Editor, Publisher, “Sailing-Master and all, every success that it is possible tor them to enjoy. We believe tre can safely say, without varying from the truth, that we were never more gratified than when we 'found the following resolution in one of our exchange papers, adopted at a public meeting in Texas, assembled for the purpose of nominating a candidate to represent them in the Congress of that Republic; “ Resolved , That tlie unimpeachable integrity and premising talents of Edward L. Holmes have not been unobserved by the people of this com munity, and the earnest which lie gives of future usefulness, recommend him as a suitable candidate to represent the county of Matagorda.” Mr. Holmes is a native Georgian, formerly of Macon. A young man of a superior mind, a no ble, heart, a high sense of honor, and possessed with a laudable ambition of doing good to his fel low-man. lie has cast his lot among the people of Texas, who appear to appreciate his talents and worth, and we have but little doubt if they honor him with a seat i:i tlieir Congress, they will find that their confidence has not been misplaced. We extract from the Wilmington N. C. Adver tiser, a card from Mr. Ossian Gregory of our State, and some other gentlemen who were pas sengers in the unfortunate steamer Pulaski, ten dering their thanks to the citizens of Wilmington for the kind hospitality afforded them in their dis tressed situation. The people generally of the “old Nortli State” have a good deal of the milk of human kindness in their composition. There is an open-bcarted ness in their welcome w hich makes you feel at home at once among the inmates of the dwelling, and you take your scat at the hospitable board with the familiarity and feeling of a friend. That starchy, distant, put-on manners, so much seen iti other States, is scarcely found in your trav els through North Carolina. There are, it is true, as is the case in all countries, some lordly, high headed aristocrats, who stand aloof from the crowd as if a purer blood coursed their veins, but they are few and far between, and whether climbing the mountains or wandering among the wire-grass and frog ponds of the low country, the stranger al ways meets a warm and hearty w elcome. Oid Wilmington is hospitable to a proverb, and her fame has often reached us on the waters of the Chattahoochee. Situated on a coast somewhat dangerous, made so by the Frying Pan shoal, stretching its arm for several leagues at sea. Vessels driving along the coast in a heavy gale, having the Cap" f vr a shore, find it very difficult to weather the shoal, and many .4 era ft has laid its bottes in Itcy neigh borhood. J he shipwrecked, w hether his distress was seen under a tar paulen liat or a fir’d one, whether a mariner or landsmen, in Wilmington he has always ‘j’«"d a heart to pity and a hand to relieve. Wc most heartily j"-" ™»r thanks to those of Mr THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Gregory, aud others, for the kindness so liberally bestowed on the citizens of Georgia lately cast on her bosom for relief. May the citizens of Wil mington long live to enjoy the approbation of a good conscience here, and may the reward of him who feeds the hungry aud clothes the naked, be theirs hereafter. SENSITIVENESS OF THE TELEGRAPH. We, a few weeks since, took occasiou to notice the strange course of the Editor of the Macou Telegraph in relation to the late action ofthe Pre sident touching our Cherokee affairs, which seems to have somewhat ruffled 'he temper of the Doc tor, he having adopted the unusual mode among editors, of manifesting his feelings by a discontin uance of exchange with us. Now, some people may be astonished at this course, and think it a very singular way of doing busiuess, but for our selves, we arc not at all surprised, and the why and wherefore is, the Doctor hates to have the truth told upon him about as bad as any one, and the plainer it is spoken the more powerful the effect.— In relation to the contemptuous manner in which he affects to treat us we feel no regret whatever, believing we discharged our duty to our conscience and our country in the remarks which we made, and would assure tlie very sensitive Doctor ol' the Telegraph, that we shall never shrink from ex pressing our sentiments freely and openly, when the interests of Georgia are concerned through fear of incurring any man’s hatred or contempt. FOI irril OF .BEET. All parties united in the Celebration of the fourth and seemed to forget in some good degree the difference of political opinions. A goodly number of the citizens of the place and vicinity assembled near, the Phoenix Hotel, and marched in procession to the Methodist E. Church. The Rev. Thus. Gardner addressed the Throne of Grace, heartily confessing our sins as a nation and imploring divine protection from our enemies whothc. at home or abroad. E. 11. Ba ker Esq. Read the Declaration of Independanee. After which Mr, Benjamin "Gardner delivered an Oration appropriate to the occasion. The company then sat down to an excellent Bar bacuc, prepared by our Townsman Mr. A. Fletch er; Rov. I’. Gardner, acting as President, Col. 11. W. Jernignn Ist Vice President, Maj. T.

Harvey Esq. fur the Ladies who at the time wc looked in appeared as worthy Daughters ol'th e matrons of ’To. Alter tile cloth was removed from the gentle men’s table, the following toasts were drunk with great applause. Wc were glad to see that in drinking the toast so many of our citizens used Adam's ale instead of wine. Some may think us. a cold water set but at the close of the day, which was marked throughout and good feeling, the advantage of such a course was fully apparent. REGULAR TOASTS. 1.

IN consequence of repeated applications for tho Messenger, fora less period than an entire year, the Publisher has concluded to alter tlie conditions, for the present year only, so far as to receive new subsreibers for the remainder of this volume—to commence with cither the May or Ju ly number: the eight numbers will cost $3 34; the six numbers, (or half year.) $2 60. The heavy expense, which the publication of the Messenger in its present style renders mia T voidable, and the wish of the Proprietor still far ther to improve it, makes it absolutely necessary that he should hereafter receive all subscriptions invariably in advance. Appeal after appeal has been made to dolin quonts, and still many withhold their just, dues. Why this is so, cannot be conceived, since it is acknowledged, on all hands, that the Messenger is richly worth the amount charged lor it; no bet ter evidence of which need bo mentioned than the fact that tlie subscription price is known to have been frequently paid for old volumes. As heavy drafts have recently been made na the Proprietor, for expenses incurred in establishing and conducting the Messenger, it is hoped those subscribers who arc still in arrears, will immediate ly hand in or remit the amounts they respectively owe; which, though small when considered sep arately, yet, taken in the aggregrate, present ana mount of considerable importance. fact, it one half the amount due him could be obtained, the Proprietor would be enabled to discharge every claim against his publication at once: that done, he would bring out the next volume us the Mes senger in anew dress, and improve it in many other respects. The risk of transmitting by mail, will be sustained by the Proprietor. But every subscriber thus transmitting payment, is requested (besides taking proper evidence ol the fact, and date of mailing.) to retain a memorandum of the number and particular marks of the note sent. Editors to whom the Messenger is forwar ded, w ill confer a favor on the Publisher, by giving tlie above card one insertion in th'*ir respective Journals. RICHMOND, Va, June 11, 183 q .
