My Correspondents are numerous and valuable; and as many of them will be attended to as possible. But they must be patient, with me, as I am with the public, who will not patronise a weekly publication, devoted to the important subject of African Emancipation.

AFRICAN COLONIZATION.

By the following notice it appears, that another vessel is to be fitted for Africa, in the ensuing Autumn, by the Colonization Society. This will afford an opportunity, it is to be hoped, to take some more slaves out of bondage. If that Society will direct their attention more to this unfortunate class of colored people, its labors will be calculated to effect more real good, both for the colored race and our own country. OFFICE OF THE COLONIZATION SOCIETY, Washington, July 7, 1830. The Managers of the American Colonization Society have resolved to despatch a vessel, to convey one hundred or more emigrants from Norfolk to Liberia on the 1st of October. It is highly important, that applications for a passage in this expedition should be duly made to the Secretary of the Society in this City. Applications for a passage may also be made to J. H. B. Latrobe, Esq. Baltimore; John M'Phail, Esq. Norfolk; B. Brand, Esq. Richmond; R. H. Toler, Esq. Lynchburg; or to the Secretaries of any of the State or other Auxiliary Societies.

To Nicholas Brice, Judge of Baltimore City Court. YOUR HONOR: You are a very considerable man. Spare those crimson blushes: it is the office of Judge that raises you to the dignity of my notice, and not your peculiar merit.

At a leisure hour, I propose to dedicate a series of numbers to your Honor, wherein I shall review your conduct as exhibited at my late trial, in a manner that shall secure to you a deathless notoriety.

SIR: I communicated to you, in a note a few days since, the fact that I was preparing a brief sketch of my trial, for the astonishment of all good men, the instruction of the bar, and the consideration of an intelligent public. It is difficult to remember minute objects; but if I do not forget you, perhaps I may generously make you as tall as an ordinary man, with the aid of a block. An elevation or abasement of twenty feet would destroy your visibility.

The speech of Mr. Frelinghuysen deserves, and will receive, a far more eloquent tribute--the gratitude of the good and wise, in every section of our territory.

He also published a book, entilted-"The Mystery of Iniquity, in a brief examination of the Practice of the Times." This excited the ire of the Chief Justice of the Province,* who threatened him with severe penalties for its circulation; yet, disregarding this, he circulated it gratuitously.Many were, no doubt, enlightened by it; but he found numerous opponents, as there were many persons whose interests were assailed, or whose practices were exposed, by the picture he gave of slavery.

In his youth he migrated to this country, and engaged in commercial business in Philadelphia. While thus employed, he frequently visited the West Indies and various parts of the American Continent. By this means he became acquainted with the evils of the system of African Slavery, and thenceforward determined to devote a portion of his time to an investigation thereof. He early inculcated the rational opinion, that "the holding of negroes in slavery is inconsistent with the rights of man, and contrary to the precepts of the Author of Christianity." He was a contemporary and intimate friend of Benjamin Lay; as appears from Vaux's biography of these eminently virtuous men, published in one volume.

For nearly two years, he was incessantly engaged in combatting the objections to his opinions. At length his health became impaired, and he purchased a small During his mercantile operations, he farm, about nine miles northeastwardly was once robbed by pirates, and twice from Philadelphia, to which he removed, wrecked, which occasioned the loss of and there spent the remainder of his days much of his property.

This apostle of Universal Emancipation was cut off in the midst of his usefulness, by the hand of disease. He died in the fortieth year of his age, A. D. 1733. His remains were interred in a field, on his own farm. His grave was enclosed with a balustrade fence, and a Stone placed at the head of it, thus inscribed:—

But there is a national, fearful, overwhelming guilt incurred by bowing down the soul of man, as is done in our country, to a bondage that ranks him no higher than the brutes that perish. In the one case, the mind could be influenced only by patriotic feelings; in the other, these are com bined with, and sanctified by, the strongest principles of humanity and religion.

They had been happy under the royal government: a system of taxation, however unjust, so long as it was borne patiently, could have no effect upon their domestic felicity, nor could the operation of the stamp act have carried terror and desolation to their peaceful firesides. What, then, was Independence to them? Could it sooth the long terrible hours of suspense during the undecided battle, in which those they best loved were partisans? Could it restore the limbs of the wounded, or reanimate the cold bodies of the slain? No! they had much to lose by the contest, but, let the sword be sheathed as triumphantly as it might, it could bring them no increase of happiness to atone for all their long endurance of suffering.

Ought it not to be a source of shame to us, when we reflect upon the unhesitating enthusiasm with which many of the votaries of a hea then faith enter into the performance of what they deem their religious duties, that our own obedience to the commands of our Eternal Lawgiver should be so tardily rendered, so measur ed according to the rules of a calculating convenience?

TIME.

"Time is the warp of life," he said, "oh tell The young, the fair, the gay, to weave it well." "He has lived long, who has lived well," was the impressive sentiment we lately read on á tombstone in a country burial place. It was twilight: a few moments earlier, the merry voices of "the playful children just let loose" from the school-house, that stood a few paces distant, had thrilled in the clear evening air over the cold gray memorials of death, but the płace was now deserted and silent, except the hum of the wind through the branches of the scattered cedars. It was a time for serious thought; and as we stood in that place of
