TUE SEASON Al the WATERING PLAcEs.-Thc
heated terms Of the passing summer have been
short ana capricious-thc general character Of
the season has been one OF unusual rains,
clouds and cold cast winds. Consequently, it
was unusually late when the business Of our
watering places fairly set in, and for time
the prospect was thai nothing at all would be
done. Within the last two or three weeks,
however. from Niagara and Saratoga, "all
round TO the sea, our various places of fash
ionable resort have filed up beyond all cxpec-
;ation, including visitors from all sections of
the Union, and in spite of the slavery agita-
ton. Our city. TOO, just now has a large visi-
tatiou of strangers, as may be seen by visiting
our hotels at dinner time, or our theatres in
The evening. Cur bonntiful haryesis and crops
Of all kinds are beginning to tell and our pco-
pie are beginning TO be lively. The only fear
nov il that The fall business may rapidly cx-
pand into i bubble. Steady the helm

RELIGION ,Np TnE LToroR LAw.--One of our
morning contemporaries has been discussing our
new Liquor law in a religions point of view.
Is far ~ ii has gone, the effects of this abomi-
nalle piece oflegisiative mockery and stupidity
have been to increase drunkenness and other
offences and crimes; to bring law, order, rcli-
sion and the sabbath into contempt and de-
nauce: aud tn encourage eyaslons, tnlsehoods
and OPEN resistance. This law j. on outrage
against law abiding and law supporting
pcoplc-a mockery against temperance, order
and RELIGION aud public nuisance in every
respect Vet itc people who respect law,
order peace. security, honesty and justice,
remember j ~ November. They may reach
the evil even over The head Of tlle Governor
and his veto; and We hope to ace il done.

lOUNG AFRICA MUST BE liEARD-A general
committee of about fifty enterprising and am
bilious {" free colorcd Americans" from va
rious parts Of the State, have issued a call,
which explains itself, as follows =
ME undersigned regarding the present favorable
Time for pressing the claims of the coored citizens of
This state npon the consideration Of State govern
men wi tn view to the removal of the odous and inv
dious disabilities imposed therein, and TO gain equal
tca rights take the liberty to invite their colored ie
lowcitizens to assemble in State Convention in the city
of Troy the first Tuesday of September 1856 There
is sacred obligation resting upon the coored citizens OF
this State to give the Of Our Legislature rest till
every legal and political disability with all its depressing
and degrading tendencies shall be swept from the Empire
State The undersigned express the hope that
viii be early taken to have every part Of the State
sented in the Convention.
The time and place are well chosen. By the
first Of September the crowds at our interior
watering places will be somewhat thinned OFF,
and the colored walters thus released, as they
come down from Niagara, Sharon, Saratoga
and other places can drop in at the Troy Con-
vention, and put finger in the pie. This call
also explains the secret Of George T. Down
ing's hostility to colonizing in Liberia. He
and his free colorcd confreres strike higher.
Young Africa here aspircs to the same general
level Of equality with white folks Can't our
Seward organs, who have given them this
crotchet give this movement lift? Why
should all their tears and charity be expended
upon Southern slaves, and such negro kidnap-
pers as Passmore Williamson. when Young
Africa in New York calls for relief? If Gree
ley can't go to Troy, set him down as q
