Apologies.

MEssRs EDTons Apologies are
strictly a vindication Of ones prin-
ciples or conduct, by honestly bring
ing forward some paliuting circum-
stance or offering some frank acknowl-
cdgement, when sensible of an impcr-
fection in what might have been
reasonably expected. But could we
analyzc the motives most generally
prompting them, they would be found
to proceed from vanity or some other
reason equally defective and conse-
quently, are greatly to be censured.
They are seldom sincere and often
exceedingly ill-timed, and even when
justifable, may be rendered SO rudely
as to- excite disgust in the bosom of
the agrieved instead Of the forgive
ness sought for. 1t evinces a noble
ness of heart but seldom attained, to
be keenly sensible of a wrong perpe-
trated and candidly confess it; hence
II is wo find, that most people are
incapable Of offering a true apology.
The prevalent and growing custom
Of the age, particularly among young
ladies, Of apologizing in season and
out of season, is not only censufable
for bad taste, but is an actual devia-
ton from the rules Of moral rectitude;
aud as such demands the careful at
tention Of parents and teachers.
Why, lady can not visit or be visited
but she must apologize for her toilet,
when probably she wears her best ;
and If not, an apology for calico i
inexousable in a Southern lady, as
none should wear any thing more
costly until the yoke Of The oppresso,
is lifted from the nccks of their anp-
port1s: and we have ever thought 4
unlady-liketo apologize for dishabille
as there are but few extenuating cir.
cumstances for q want Of that habit.

W0rkIngmen, etc.

The Petersburg Virginia hdcr,
referring TO a late mechanics and
workingmen's meeting in that city,
at which an association was organ
lied, says:
When tho vote was taken on'tho
name assumed by tho Association
organized at Mechanics Hall, tho
large majority Of colorcd men pres
cnt voted "no," because tho word
4" Republican, was not inserted.
Thereupon the Chairman, Mr.. w.
II. Tappy, addressed them in SUBJ
stance as'follows;
T notice that many of our colorc,f
friends vote no. / wish 10 ask You
why doyo prcferassuming The name
Of party organization existingnt
the North7 Is Il because you think
they are your peculiar fricndss That
they will give you privileges that wc
are not willing to accord 10 youg
that they will take you by the hand
and make you their associates N the
workshop and In the parlora IL
such is your belief, you are mistaken.
Look at the North and see how they
treat the colored man there. Dothcy
permit him TO work by their side In
the workshop, or make an equal Of
him in any respect2 mol Only
wait until the Dutch, Irish, Scotch
and the Yankees come focking 10.
Virginia--as they will surely do, for
Virginia Is bound TO become a great
manufacturing Statc--and then Jon
will see how soon lhcy will drive you
from the workshop and from every
lucrative or respectable employment.
You will wish then that You bad Iis-
tened 10 the sober counsel Of tho
Southern men, among whom yon
have played In childhood, and by
whose side you have toilcd IN tiie
| field and In The workshop and drank
water from the same bucket. Then,
when II is too late, you will discover
that your only true friends were the
Southern men whom you have known
all your lives, and not the stranger
who comes amongst you 10 gain your
confidence and then use YOU for the
Advancement of his own personal and
selfish ends"
AZ the conclusion Of this telling
little speech, not another Republican
} dared to open bis lips. Their leader
looked crcst-fallcn, and the colorcd
men looked ms II they believed that
the sincere md HEARTFELT utteranccs
of the speaker were more than half
