CORRESPONDENTS.  The communications from the Isle of Mang relative to Douglas harbour, and the anomalous and invidious laws of that small island, will appear, if possible, in our next. An article on the subject which C. E. S. so ably discusses, has Le?ti omitted for want of room. ‘ST knov; something of the conrederacy to Which "attigiNEtt alludes, and the license given to the party to libel those upon whom he and his employer live; but owing to the embarrassed circumstances of the latter person, we do not think this the proper time to take up the subject. A• 13. D. has no more notion of architecture than a cow has of astronomy. Kate's rhymes are passable enough, but her meaning is to us wholly " Egerton's reflections on the Comet" will keep. Will the author favour us with his name, and a few explanations? Conservative will find the.subject to which he alludes treated on an.early day. • We thank S for his letter. The subject will not be forgotten.  'rfjt iLibtrpool eStanDatb.  TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 21, 1835  We have received New York papers which reach to the I very late date of the 2d instant. It will be seen from some extracts below, that a meeting had been called to form an anti-slavery society for the state of New York, the object of which is to demand immediate emancipation ! The requiSition was stated to have been signed by fifty-eight clergymen. In this we discover only the beginning of the troubles Of America.. We have already heard of innumerable outrages, of gross violations of law, and of inhuman murders committed, some by mistake, but all upon the illiberal and barbarous plea of suspected danger. Innocent men have been hanged on false charges; but which charges, even if substantiated, would not. have exposed them to criminal far less capital punishment in any civilized nation of the world. The suspicion, however, which. had provoked the mortal ire of the republicans, in the best of all free and well-regulated countries, where the doctrines of equality are .most ostentatiously recognised, has now assumed a more tangible and formidable shape, to such.an extent that if ten men were hanged without "law and justice" as was stated, an. hundred men must now be sacrificed in the attempt to silence the new eposties of emancipation. Can this be donell.The northern states have taken lip the question .on higher grounds. Conventions are formed to do that •by -union- which has hitherto been es_ saved only by individuals. In the ratio of zeal on the -Part-of the slave_asyne.rs a counteracting ferce has been, gathered by the -emancipationists. Popular power has :been arrayed against united interests. The decision does not depend upon the inflnenee.of prinCiple over numbers, but upon the result of equally. combined numbers. It is ,a question of state against state--of the north versus the mouth—of slavery against liberty. We have looked forward to this. From the first hour. `,that modern philanthropy in England, aided by quackcry and whiggery, triumphed over the rights of property in the West Indies, we saw that the. United States 'of America would be. -the Itist,..the most reluctant, and the most powerfully debateable gronnd'on this all itnportant question. The :struggle has come, ,we confess, 'sooner than we expected. The voice of the emancipated in our colonies has reached the main land of America 'many tides earlier than we anticipated. It has come upon them like-a flood; we hope its ravages will not be like the deluge; but we fear the worst. The following are the extracts to which we have al luded „ An extract from the office of the Oneida Standard and Democrat, printed at Utica, contains a notice signed by three hundred and sixty two persons, residing in different parts of the state, calling a " State Convention of the friends of immediate emancipation," to be held at Utica on the 21st of October next, !• for the purpose.of forming a State Anti-slavery Society for the State of New York." Of the signers of this notice fifty`,eight are clergymen' The following •is the notice. To THE FRIENDs OF [
