ON THE PHILADELPHIA COMMERCIAL HERALD
SOCIAL COURTESIES

We noticed this subject in one of our re-
fcent numbers, and now revert to it for the
Tpurpose of alluding to the contrast presented
by the past and present modes of addressing
sladies, and of giving a sample Of politeness
**of the present day. :. - o. -.
An old Virginia slave, who had grown
2gray in his duties as a house servant, re-
fcently, in our hearing, characterized his
former mistress as San old time LADY," and
spoke Of his present owner, the grand
daughter as Zone of the highly ers y-There
kIs no little discrimination in old Sambo's
ktitles. The old time ladies kept up their
dignity, characterized the circles they mov-
: ed In, and gave an influence to manners
and politeness to society.-They conversed,
too, and did not chatter; they extorted from
gentlemen, the homage of the heart, and
Rtorced others TO respect them, by respecting
themselves. We hope we are not croakinS
over the fancied "eclat" of the past; but
I'VE put the query, is this the tone of fash
ionable manners of the present day Or is
it "highfying 2" Are not our married la
dies literally driven to the wall, to make
: room for Misses in their teens, who prattIe
an infinite deal of nothing to heroes suffer
ing under the inaiction of Macassar oil and
budding mustache, and who, by thus be-
png made prominent, have given false tone
to our social circles, and, by their girlish and
sometimes hoydenish demeanor, induce boys
and youngsters to assert and brag of deeds
(which have no basis in truth 1t is NOR
3tifying fact, that the principal reason why
&ladies are not now respected as they should
<be, and do not meet from all that politeness
&they deserve, may be found in the circum-
4stance that girls come into society so young
&that they cannot command respect by the
Isaunvarying propriety of irdeportment 8 and
&that the moment young lady is married
She is, for most social purposes detunct

fnat purpose. deemed it my duty to request
|the advice of the Honorable Council on
such measures as may seem best calculat-|
FED. in their judgment, to afford relief to|
the citizens of this State from the present.
evils, and to avert the coming storm.
l beg leave, therefore. to submit to your
consideration, the necessity and propriety|
|of convening an extra session of the Gem
|eral Assembly of this State. at some ear
fly day.
No doubt all the reasons, for and al
|gainst an extra session of the General
Assembly, will readily occur to you !
|but [ hope [shall not be deemed obtru,
|siye in making passing remark on the
relative position of debtors and creditors
lin this State. Itis believed that the prin-
|ciple debt of the citizens is due to the
Banks, and on their proceedings will
greatly depend the distress of the citi-
Izens. The Banks, we see, have heenI
compelled to curtail their accommodations
and indeed, while suspension of Specie|
Payments continues. they will probably
deem it duty to make all the collectionsI
possible, and withdraw their notes from|
to avoid the penalty of IL perl
cent. per annum which they are subject
ed on the refusal Of payment of their notes
The State, you will bear in mind, has an!
Interest in these Institutions of one to one|
and quarter Million of Dollars, and, in!
the welfare of the Citizen debtor, to themI
Ia much deeper and more sacred interest.
The removal of this penalty, it is alledged|
|by the managers of those Institutions, andl
mo doubt truly, would enable them to be
more indulgent to their Debtors Moth
ling but the most urgent necessity should
justify the removal CT so salutary a check!
to prevent over-issues and to coerce Spe-|
Gle Payments, whenever practicable
Has that emergency occurred2 Does
not the present note holder look to this
penalty for the security of payment, or
remuneration for the failure to do so and
IF such calculation was made on receiving q
the notes, would it be just to remove or|
destroy his remedy2
Having made, as believe, a statement
|of facts attending the present alarming
situation of the monetary affairs of the
country, with passing remark on the
Banks, all l presume to be necessary on
my part, [ beg leave to assure you of my
ready cooperation in the adoption of any|
measures which may be deemed necessary
for relief

 A SKETCH

Written On Ledge of Rocks, in C-. 1t was lovely morn! Ay, morn So inexpressbly beautiful,
 To one of Eden's sunny days it might Have been compared; to meet one far dearer To my heart than all beside on earth; A being by consanguinity's - Holy ties related; hied me forth With steps elastic; as Hope, and Love, Gave ten-fold strength and sprightlness to life's Dull tread Onward pressed, and every rock, And fence, and tree, that met my view, shaped In Fancy, the lovely form of that Dear cousin. But fell Disappointment Cast a gloem over the bright dreams of - The morning. The roses of Hope began To wither; and Expectation found A vacuum in her sunny cup. found myself upon a rugged cliff, With the melancholy pine, and hardy oak, Beneath above, and all around me- And the chirping Squirrel was there my sole Companion endowed with animated life: His eye with glance suspicious, first Surveyd d the intruder; and then, at length. Perhaps finding a congeniality In disposition, that shyness wore away; With condescension great, his little frolicks He resumed until my every thought Was centered on that gamboNing mite Of Nature.
 OGod! how infinitely great: How supremely good! to make thy works So correspond, that every atom conforms In beauty, innocence and delightfulness, To make one grand and universal whole. The glorious Sun crept on with stealthy pace Until it reach'd its utmost meridian: Fain and unheeded, would Ilet the Warning pass; but the sentence to return Is too imperative. No darling Jane With smiling eyes, and form of grace, Has met my view: yet my souls delight, Ye woods, ye rocks, ye little birds, and all That's cast charm upon me, both sublime And beautiful, must bid ye A ng'rng adieu; old Time commands, I dare not dsobey.
