their habits become vicious, and their jealousy
increases; their morals are corrupted by ha-
birual idleness, and facility of plumber dis
gusts them with the necessary labors for an
honest livelihood. They consummate their
own misery and roughen the chains of those
who are still held in bondage.
Such are our impressions, based upon OBJ
servation, and for their business we fear not
an appeal even to the experience Of the North.
What would Philadelphia, New-York, Bos-
ton and Providence now give to be emar'ci-
pated from this troublesome part of their po-
pulation. twas only yesterday We had the
satisfaction to read in Providence paper, that
the Colonization Society of that place had in
duced forty or fifty of their colored popula-
ton to embark Immediately for LIBERIA, and
that the embarkation from Boston was to take
place on Christmas day. Such enterprises as
these promise relief to the country, and hap
pness to the objects of their mercy but in
vain must be the laudable efforts of Colonial
ton Societies, if Miss Wright and her associ-
ates sow cookies in our fields, By thousands,
while more honest laborers are engaged in up
roofing them one at q time.
There is no position better established
than that the conduct of free negroes has de-
monstrat.d the impolicy of adding to their
number, and determined those who are able
and willing to emancipate their slaves, first
to devise some humane and certain means of
getting them out of the country. Patience
and perseverance will soon accomplish this
desirable object, and in the mean time, such
pragmatic, vain glorious, and restless spirits
as Miss Wright, do more injury to the cause
of humanity, than fifty sincere and capable
champions could repair in century. The
slave holders, We feel satisfied, are disposed
to act properly, if not harrassed by mock
philanthropists; we would, therefore, ask
lea' c to apply an old pun, and say to cur he
roine-Stop Miss Wright, you are ,crong,

In spite of the supercilious and impudent
conduct ofKEAN towards the Bostonians, and
bis subsequent base actions, the managers OF
the Theatre have had the temerity to enter
into N engagement with him, and, as will be
seen by the subjoined extracts, lave dearly
paid for their ayaricious folly. On Monday
night his first appearance in RICHARD was an
nounced to a full and fashionable house for
the wednesday following, with the promise
of an ample apology for his previous mlsdeeds
in that city,-A decided majority OF the house
seemed to approve of the engagement On
Tuesday, the following servile Card made ITS
appearance in all the morning papers, and
seats were sought for through the day with
the same ayidty that was manifested at his
former visits. The extracts below will tell
the rest.

highest, and nothing but confusion
prevailed, a gentleman OF the bar oil

and addressed the audience from one
ofthe boxes in behalf Of Mr.. hean, and
begged that what he had to say might
first be heard, before they attempted TO
pronounce Judgment. But all would
not do: Nothing but off! off! was to
be heard, and off he went. The bos-
