into channel so little calculated to bene.
fit either himself, his country, or the class
ofpersons with whom he appears to sym
pathise so deeply. They, it is true de-
serve our warmest commiseration, but in
extending this pity we should be careful
to not step beyond the bounds of prudence.
1t would appear to US that Mr.. Garrison
is bent upon destroying, if possible, the
object of the best friends of the colored
population of this country. The ColOni-
cation Society is gradually and elFectually
removing the evil of which he complains;
and were all who profess to feel desire
for the amelioration of the condition of the
blacks to give their hearty support to that
cause, we should in few years see the
beneficial effects that il had produced.
''Lady's Book. 81. A. Cooley g. Co.,
have issued the October number of this in
teresting periodical. The number before
us is beautiful specimen of Typography,
and full of interesting matter: it also
contains some handsome patterns of nee
die work.
1t has been asked, "what became of the
Independent party in this County, on the
day of our recent elections" We believe
1t died a natural death, on that day, and
like many an unlucky bantling, made far
less noise at its death than was cause at its
birth.
After prodigious hustle in getting up
a town meeting in Wilmington, by the ring
ing of bells and distributing of handbills,
and the eloquent, learned and patriotic
speech before that meeting, by one of the
viSi6le agents in the business, and last but
not least in consequence, the County meet
ing at Sawdon's, composed of a couple Of
dozen persona, principally from this Be-
rough-after all this ado, ticket was got
up and brought to the polls; but we believe
hardly any one was found sufficiently H.
dependent to distribute them. Some thirty
tickets found their way into the ballot
box, and there the thing ended. The at
tempt to destroy the harmony of the Ma
ton Republican parry proved abortive,
but the odiousness of the object that NOV
ed the conspiracy and the perpetrators,
will not be forgotten. We pity the per-
sons who were led by llattery to become
the tools Of designing men. in this business.
Their political integrity is for everblasted.

Sr:--It may be interest
ing to some of your readers to learn that
the prOtracted meeting held in the Pres
byterian church under the pastoral charge
OF Rev. Mr.. Russell, at New Ark, in this
county, last week, has been extensively
blessed by the presence of the Holy Spi-
rit. The preaching upon that occasion,
was pointed and plain. lam informed hy
a gentleman who attended the meetings.
and who is himself one who hopes that he
has passed from death unto life, that the
house was crowded to excess by anxious
hearers, and on one occasion several hun
dred stood around the house, being unable
to get within doors. On last Sabbath, 81
persons joined the church. The enquiry
meetings are attended by from 60 TO so
persons, many of whom are exceedingly
distress on account of their sins. NAV
they bear in mind the blessed promise of
our Saviour, that they that come unto him
shall not be cast out. X,
