7 A circumstance occurred ID this city a
Jew week since, which being a singular
Instance OF The terpitude OF human nature
l. publicity cannot be unacceptable to the
readers OF your journal. A young man
nd woman belonging to the society OF
friends, were in the presence OF a large as
semtlage of persons in tteir meeting uni.
ted in the BANDS of matrifpony. The ce-
remopy being over, the married couple re.
paired 10 the dwelling of the bride, which
was occupied as a boarding house. where
they intended to remain 4 short time !; haV-
ing RECALLED a few OF their friends, at a rea-
.onable hour, the guests retired 10 their
respective homes. One OF the inmates OF
the house, about this time, missed a PLAID
Cloak which was in the entry, several
t~rui:less enquiries were made concerning
the Cloak, and il was finally concluded
that it was stolen. The groom necessari-
ally suspended bis attention 10 mercantile
concerns tor few days, and then went to
his store where on examining his mer-
chandise, he discovered that two merIno
sSawis OF considerable value were gone.
The Clerk was questioned concerning
them. He could give no tidings OF them,
nor could he account 10 any way tor their
disappearance. Just al this etime two
young women passed the store /; the groom
recognised merlno shaw on one Of them,
which he knew to be one OF his /; motives
OF delicacy prevented HIM from accusing
her they were suffered to pass un.uo-
Tested. The young man IN the store hav-
ing disputed an account, with a tradesman,
and refusing to pay 1t, was served with a
summons by an officer, well known 10 the
citizens OF Philadelphia the affair OF the
shawls was related to him, and during the
conversation, the young Wi aD alluded
10, repassed the store. The officer being
apprised Of it, was determined 10 investi'
gate the matter He accosted the one
with the shawl and requested her to walk
into the store, as a gentleman wished to
speak to her. She Immediately entered
the question was then put where she had
purchased the shawl the reply was that
she did not purchase II, that 1t was a pre-
sent from MIR. S. OF N. York, he lodged at
J-'s holel that she expected bin in
the evening al her residence, where ii they
wished to see him they were at liberty 10
sa,i A!the sqUest oil he officer she le I be
shawl. and one OF small value was supplied
her. The officer knew where the house
was situated. and that il was OF ordinary
character. In the evening he went, ac-
companred by the groom to ascertain the
person who had p~urloined bis property -
On entering the mansion of the ta,r lady,
TO the great establishment of the groom
he discovered that lhe perpetrstor of the
deed, proved to be no other than his first
gro ms man His feelings may be more
easily imagined than described. Suffice it
to say The young man, who had hereto.

tessed that be had not only stolen the
shawl, but also the Plal! Cloak referred

AMERICAN coLoNlz1rioN SOCIETY.

AMERICAN COLONlZ ATiON SOCIETY.
The Board of Managers Of the Amer
lean Colonization Society, urged by the
most powerful motives OF religion and
humanity, appeal 10 a generous public
III behalf OF their great design.
Si4 years have elapsed since the iu-
stitltioA Of Then Society; and, though
want OF funds has prevented very Vi
gofous and extensive exertions, though
sad occurrences have o1stucted its OPP
eraiious, II has advanced; gathered
strength IN It's progress; been instructed
by misfortune; aud, aided BY heaven,
has demonstrated the praticabeness OF
its plan, and confirmed the hope, early
entertained, that is efforts, il web sus-
tanned, would be succeeded by splendid
ana sublime results.
Whether these efforts shall be thus
sustained, it remains with this enlight-
eued community to decide.
The territory purchased in Africa,
appears to have been judiciously seiec-
tod, s, il is believed, combines great
q number Of advantages Tor colonial
establishment, dian any other situation
on tie Coasc Elevated, and open to
the sea, with harbor to DE easily rem
dcsed excellent; fertile, and well wa
tered, interseoted by The Montserado
River, extending several hundred miles
into the inte.lor; bordered by tribes,
comparatively, m.ld IN character; it
promises to the settlers every facility for
The attainment OF ;heir objects,
The number now at the Colony, in
Guiding the sixty who recently took pas
sage ia the Brig 0swego, probably a.
. mounts to one hundred and ninety
Tn African tribes in that neignborhood
a}c neither Icrocious nor brave; and the
iecuns contest, in which their combined
forces (ouoGl.ing at one time 10 tit-
teen hundtel) attempted 10 eHtermin-
ale our Colony, no9lJ defended by its
taiity men, proves AM thing rather than
the difficulty Of main, aiming a stand "a
gnost their power
Il proves, indeed, that the natives of
Africa, liAe most unciyilized men, are
