THE BANKRUPT LAW.

Much odium has been cast upon this truly
benefcent and humane law, from misapprehen-
sion of its provisions. Some suppose that a
person must owe two thousand dollars to avail
himself Of its benefits. This is not so. Every
person who is unable 10 pay his debts, whatever
may be their amount, may avail himself of the
rovisions, of the law by giving up his property
under oath to the commissioner appointed by the
court, 10 be equally distributed to ihis creditsrs
The clause in relation TO two thousand dollars
applies only to Merchants, Factors, Brokers,
Bankers &c. who may all become voluntary
bankrupts when they please but cannot be forced
into it by creditor, unless they owe twosthous-
and dollars, and commit scertain acts of B ank-
ruptsy such, as concealing their property, fraudu-
lieut. conveyances, or assignments, giving leg bail
&c. &c.

CAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY, &c.

The twenty fifth annual meeting of the A
merican Colonization Society was held in the

18th inst. The Hon. H. Clay was prevented
by indispostion from attending the meeting,
and the Rev. VIM. Hawiey, one of the Vice
Presidents, presided, The annual report was
read, from which it appears that the cause of
Colonization is in highly prosperous con-
dition, both in this country and in Africa. The
report, however, will soon be published, and
will speak for itself.
The Rev. G. G. Vanarsdale, of Philadel-
phia, at the request Of the Executive Commit.
tee, delivered highly interesting and i'm
pressive discourse on The life, character, and
death of the late Thos. Buchanan. Governor
of the Commonwealth of Liberia, which will
doubtless shortly be published, as the Board of
Directors have requested a copy for this pur-
pose.
The Hon. H. Clay was reelected Presi-
dent Of the Society, and thesVice Presidents Of
the last year were reelected, with the following
changes, viz Major General Winfield Scott
was appointed, vice Major General Macomb,
deceased the Rev. President Wayland, of
Rhode Island, vice N. Brown, ESQ. deceased
and the Rev. Thos. E. Bond, D. b. of New
York, and the Rev. A. Alexander, ID. d. of
New Jersey, were added to the number.
After the Society adjourned, the Board Of
Directors met and continued in session two
days, during which time much business was
transacted.
A very respectable number of delegates ap-
peared from the different State Societies,
though several of the States entitled TO dele
gates were not represented.
The greatest harmony prevailed during the
meeting, and much good is expected TO result
from it.

that the natural condition of man sleep; and to
test the truth OF the doctrine slept eighteen hours OF

that any man, however esimable, or great who pre-
sumes TO yindcate IL, is TO share The same fate
For long time the abusive presses had the field
pretty much TO themselves. President TYLER had no
party either in Congress elsewhere. He was too
much Of Loco TO please the Wings, and too much
Of Wing to please the Locos. When therefore
the Clay calumniators opened their batteries upon
the President, there was attempt, except by a very
few papers, to defend bim,-much less TO carry the

ant, has, IN a great measure spent itself A few
struggling presses still keep up the fire. but it is hard
work, and useless as it is hard. What have they

from being President second term so far as apr
pearl he has no desire to be. One term he proba-
bly, thinks is quite sufficient AT any rate he is not
