OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. %. rs.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29, 1859.
Mr. ED1roR:-The summer is nearly
spent, with its sultry nights and its burning
days, so uncongenial to either labor or re-
pose, and especially the former Already
the leaves unfolded to the gentle zephyrs
of spring, begin to wear golden tinge and
to announce the approach of autumn. The
falling leaf and the faded flower indicate
decline of the healing breath that stirred
them into life. Amid the shedding of Sops
fercer rays we retreat in search of ref
uge, leaving the halfdepopulated city to
remain Statu gao during our absence Re-
turning again to resume our wonted activ-
ity, we add our quota to the hum of bust
ness, whether engaged in the workshop,
the warehouse or counting room, and as
often as the seasons return we go through
the same routine of business Or pleasure.
AT this time our city is filled (or rather the
hotels are) with Southern and Western
merchants, who have come hither for the
purpose of buying their fall bills, and the
wholesale dealers anticipate doing heavy
trade during the present season. Aside
from business pursuits the city is unusual
ly quiet, and the stranger among us might
be persuaded that we are law and order
people, Judging from present appearances,
were it not that municipal regulations are
ever being violated; for example, the sa-
looms where Spirituons liquors are retailed
are required to be kept closed during Sun
day, and in Mayor Conrads time, spies
were sent out to find any that might be
bold enough to open back door, and some
were found who had to pay heavy fine
for it; but the authorities do not seem to
take any notice of the Sunday liquor law
now, for at any time during Sunday, and
in any part of the city those haunts of in
iquity may be seen standing with open
doors to receive any who desire to quaf
their poisonous beverages. The law
should either be repealed Or obeyed-not
violated.
The Rev. VIM. L. Cato preached at the
First Presbyterian Church, Seventh street,
below Shipper, yesterday afternoon. He
is on his way to Washington, d. c., and
will leave on Wednesday next. DIR. j. j.
G. Bias is in Trenton at present, in very
bad health. He is affected with asthma
and dropsy, and has for a long time been
troubled. He went to Saratoga, but was
not much benefited.
Professor j. G. Anderson, and the other
members of Frank Johnson's Band, have
been spending the summer at Bedford
Springs, Pa. They returned home on
Wednesday last in good health and spirits.
The number of deaths reported to the
Board of Health last week was ia, of
which number seven were colored.

FROM AFRICA.

The ship Ben Campbell, from Sierre LIE
one, with the English mails, has arrived
at this port. She brings letters and papers
| to the 21st of June.
The vessel is detained at Quarantine
having hides on board, and the yellow fe-
yer and smallpox being very prevalent
and fatal at Freetown when she sailed In
letter dated June p, Mr.. Augustus
Washington, Liberian merchant, writes
that the yellow fever and smallpox have
been raging very fearfully at Sierre Lee
one, and have carried off nearly all the
European population, besides hundreds of
the blacks" Mr. Washington was at
Sierre Leone with cargo of Liberia sugar
for sale, and intended to go forward to Co
rec before returning to Liberia. Business
is very dull on the coast We gather the
following items of news from the Liberia
" Herald" of June Is:
By the arrival of the schooner Exchange,
of Baltimore, via Sierre Leone, we have
been favored with a Sierre Leone paper,
"The Eera," of May ID, from which we
gather the following news:
His Excellency, Gov. Hill, had left on a
visit to England.
The French frigate Danae arrived Oh
the day of the issuing of the era" from
Goree, on her way to Gaboon. A Roman
Catholic Bishop, for Sierre Leone, and a
priest, came passenger in the Danae.
George II. Benedict, Esq, agent for a
house in New York, died on the evening of
the 18th of May, of fever.
Her Britannia Majesty's brig Heron was
capsized in tornado on the 18th May,
about 200 miles from Sierre Leone. The
only survivors were the captain and 20
seamem out of the whole ships crew. A
bark of about 400 tons was carried into
Sierre Leone May 4, having been captured
by the Heron, in about deg. n lat, hav-
ing neither papers nor colors. She was
taken about the 18th April. Out of the
20 souls saved from the Heron, it is sup
posed four were part of the slavers crew.
The cabtain of the Heron took passage for
England in the British mail steamer Eth
ope.
Mr.. Oldfeld, we'll known in Liberia,
senior partner of the house of Oldfeld,
Evans & Co., of Freetown, died on the
23d ult.

ed. Ought these things to be2 Must
they continue to exist, or shall we look the
truth full in the face, acknowledge the er-
ror, and work for the removal of the dis
grace? Yes, let us take hold of it, and see
that our press, our mechanics, and our ar
tisans, male and female, in all departments,
are countenanced, encouraged, and patron
lied by our time, influence, and especially
money, for they who would be free must
themselves first strike the blow at the ro0t
of this giant evil.
Our Republican papers, while they pre-
tend to be our friends, do not fail to advo-
cate with increasing ardor their two newest
planks for the platform of 1860" free
white labor" and white mans country
to show that while they hate negro slavery
on their own account, they have no SYM
pathy with negro freedom on our account,
and so tickle the so-called conservatives
North and South with the same straws
Never in the political history of our COM
mon country has there emenated from any
party hobby more false in theory or poll
cy, more dangerous in its tendency, more
vindictive in its prejudice, more unjust in
all its phases, or more malignant in all its
operations upon the interests of the free
colored people of these States, than this,
although this never was, is, or will be ex-
clusively the white mans country. 1t is
well that we should examine and note the
ever varying aspects of the political hori-
zon, that whenever we possess the ability,
we may make our influence felt efectually,
for if these are the principles upon which
the party expect to gain the North and
bamboozle the South, may Heaven grant
them humiliating defeat.
Our town was thrown into pleasurable
excitement on Monday morning, by the
arrival of the distinguished orator, Fred.
Douglass. An earnest desire was ex-
pressed to hear him lecture, but much to
our disappointment he left at noon, en-
route for Rochester, promising to visit and
lecture for US some time early in the fall.
He appeared in excellent health land
spirits.
FAITH.
