! A purchase has been made of the valuable
| part Of Bushrod Island, including the whole
! right branch off the Stockton Creek from the
St. Paul's territory, which can of itself sup
port a small colony. A part of the emigrants
! by the Doris, are to be located upon this ISL
and. We hope the next season, (says Mr..
Ashmun,) to have bridge length l4O feet)
| across the Stockton, to connect the New
Bushrod purchase with the st. Pauls.
! In reference to future emigrants, the Colo
| NAL Agent bserves, "About the LIST of Oct.
it may be reasonably expected that the whole
| number of people now on expense will be off
our hands, and the Receptacle at present oc-
| cupied by them will he vacant as early as the
own houses. The Receptacle will hold one
hundred persons, and additional accommoda-
! lions may easily be procured for so more.
Should the Board despatch their next compa-
| ny with view to the settlement of Grand
| Bassa, which hope they will, it will be ne
cessary to provide particularly for the exig-
ences of new settlement, by sending, or
authorizing me to buy here, (which is better,)
ten thousand feet Of boards.
! We trust no apology need be offered for
I the number and length of these extracts.
From the very able and full communications
before US, we might make many others Of
scarcely less interest. They cannot fail to
produce their appropriate effects on an en-
lightened and generous people. The very
! mail which brought to our Office these des-
patches, brought also letter from a very
respectable gentleman in Maryland, inquiring
whether all his servants, $50 in number,) can
have passage the present season to the colo
ny. .....
l. Let, then, our friends throughout the Un-
ion feel the holy motives which ought now to
inspire the prosecution of work, SD mani
testify conducive to our interests and honor as
nation, to the regeneration of Africa, and to
the glory of God. Let every freud of our
cause be active, and success is sure. And here
we would humbly suggest, that should the
Society of Friends in North Carolina, who
have repeatedly made liberal donations to our
Society, find themselves able TO fit out an ex-
petition at their own expense, we should con-
Adently expect the most gratifying results
from the efforts Of the present year.
RESPONSIBILITY OF FEMALES.
The remark is as true as it is common, that
in countries far advanced in civilization and
refinement. our sex have the principal agency
in giving to society its moral and intellectual
aspect. .~..
If our inAuenceis great, our responsibility
[ is proportionably great. If we have the pow
er of moulding society to considerable ex-
tent, according to our will, the vices that mar
its beauty and happiness, and which our influ-
ence is not exerted to suppress, will be lmpu-
ted to us, and must be answered for,as to our
deeds, in the day Of final retribution. 1t is
matter Of infinite importance therefore, that
our intercourse with society should be SO reg
! uar as to produce salutary effect on all a.
round us.-But how shall this be done Shall
| we assume melancholy air, and lecture our
friends on the subject Of religion until they
retire from our presence in disgust, and shun
us as they would the serpent or the scorpion?
! BY no means. There is something cheerful
and attractive in that religion, which has
brought life and immortality to light. The
sceptic may well mourn over the niseries of
life, be sad in view Of the thick darkness and
gloom that surround the grave, ann!hilation or
| miserable existence hereafter. But let u.s.
who hope better things than these, whose path

and iniquity) let US throw all around the
charms of cheerfulness and Joy, that others
may seek and rejoice in our society land be in.
| fuenced by our example,tO walk in wisdom's
ways There is no danger that an amlable,
intelligent, accomplished, and virtuous female
will be neglected. Her society will always
be sought by the other sex :: and it is com
pletely in her power to dictate the terms on
which it shall be enjoyed.---Let her never
countenance by her example, or even by
| smile light and triiing remarks on religion, or
any kindred subject. The bible was not Civ
en- to man, that its sacred truths might be
quoted with irreyerence, to adorn the CONVEX
sation of the gay and thoughtless the minis

scott Of fools, or to exercise the ingenuity of
the critic the conduct of Christians must be
accounted for at the tribunal Of their own mas
ter. and not be made the sport of the i'm
moral and profane, who know not the heart,
and have an interest in misrepresenting their
motives. THE aDnrOhatiOn Or disa nnrnhat;o
