Matrimony, according to the opinion of Miss
Wright, is a species of tyranny, and she is
about to wage a war against such heathen-
ish mstituion--such a despotic ordnance.
The institution, she says, had its origin 6 in
religious prejudice and priesty rapacity"
and is the generator of one half the ills +" that
flesh is heir to ;''-it is the destroyer Of hu-
man happiness, the father of vice, and the
guardian Of error. Well, let Miss Wright
think SO, if she peases-we shall not complain,
but we are of opinion, that marriage, whether
ly ropacty. or not, is one Of the most charm
ing nstitulons that ever was devised by man.
If he who conceived it was a sinner, his sins
were douby blessed, and at The altar of we'd
lock we will worship and bless his name. Miss
TraLkcy, we fear, by thus ranting against the
oest Of all institutions, will retard the progress
Of her colony, for even the Cudjoe and Di-
mas have their loves, and sing their plain
tive tales, at the shrine Of Venus. regard
for illcgitima'es, is highly creditable 10 her
sense of justice, and will gain for her the ap-
plause Of the united million.
But there is one thing, that we cannot
stand we must protest against it and that
is, her proposed plan Of amalgamation, by
which she is to mako her community free and
equal. To arrive at this end. she says that
blacks and whites, must freely associate and
ENJOY each others society. Such a state of
society, might please Benjamin Lundy, but as
for US, good Heaven +! the idea is absolutely
horrible!
! Only think ont! Ifmiss Frankcy's plan is
adopted, we shall see the spruce beau NADIA

ry Thicklps lovely Die Vernon, the pride
Of society and the ornament Of her sex, qua
drilling with six foot negro, as black as ebo-
ny, and the lovely Rosabella, sma ackcd by the
honorable gentleman from the banks Of the
Congo. No. no, the plan will never do-and
Miss Frankey must abandon it, or Join the

ccs Wright and Lady Harriet Wiason, are
strange kind Of 'mortais; and whilst the latter
follows the faithlcss Arab, over the desert Of
Zahara, the former eats 'possum fat and sweet
potatoes, on the banks Of the Mississippi, and
is famed by odorous breezes, arising from
a community Of swarthy negroes.
Miss Wright, is woman Of elegant attain
ments, and ranks high among the literati Of
tie age. Having been disappointed in her
early days, and bligh,od, by the false VOWS Of
somo gay Lothario, she has sworn to spend

Mr.. MONROE AND THE PoST-oFFICE.
So much has been said respecting MF.

ty held possession of the house during
the night, previous to the meeting. 1t IS
/ SAID, that the "tumultuous entrance" OF
Friends was principally occasioned BY
their being showed in by a promiscuous
crowd without. A new clerk was ap
pointed, because the old one had refused
to receive the certificates of some
Friends. The injury the latter sustain
ed was not serious and was occasioned
by his own party. The Friends offered
TO let the Orthodox party have the house
one half Of each day. A number of
Friends were arrested at the instigation
of their opponents, on a charge of being
guilty Of 8 riot, and taken TO Steubenvi!le
The Judge dismissed them without re.
curing bail, merely taking their word
that they would appear on the 18th of
next month.

REPORT,

The Managers Of the Young Mems Bible So
ciety never appeared before their constituents
with more sincere pleasure, or with warmer
feelings Of gratitude TO God, than on the presen,
occasion. The past year has been marked
with rapid strides in The Bible cause, never be-
fore eaualled; and we are happy that our own
Society has endeavored TO keep pace with its
noble compeers, and 10 bear It's share Of the
burden; or, rather, we would say, 10 claim its
share Of honour in evangeizina the world
The avowed object Of Bible Soc isties il to put
the Word Of God into every hand. The mas
ter spirits Of Christian philosophy, who first
began this work, placed this high march in
view. They saw not, indeed, how it was 10
be accomplished; they wanted the hundreds of
millions who were furnishing (for lack Of know
ledge) of hunser, and they were aware tina,
their means were triliHg and small, but their
faith failed not, for they remembered "tne Ave
loaves Of the Ave thousand; and the seven
Ioa'es OF the four thousand" and they had con
faence that he who gave the word could null
tiply il 10 their haads, that there should be
enough and to spare; so they gave thanks and
brake the bread OF life to the faintins multi.
iudes & the baskets still are full. Let Christians
devise liberal things and God will, in his prov
ideucr, de,elope ways and pea"s for their ac-
somplishment. Let Solomon determine to
