of ascertaining which among. the sever
al Candidates for the Presidency, it
would be most , advisable to jupport,
knowing that if all .were run it would
tend to distract public opinion, and most
likely prevent any one!; from obtaining
a majority of votes from - the people
and of course, force the election into
tae' House of Representatives, there to
be decided ihy a single vote from each
state, whether large or small. : A simi
lar meeting to this was held previous
to the election of Mr.: Jefferson, Mr.
Madison, and Mr., Monroe andis,
indeed, resorted to in every important
election in our State Governments. In
this State, a new "Governor is never
elected, if there be more than one can
didate of the same political opinion, un
til the Members oft Assembly have
held a meetinsr to ascertain whichi of
the candidates in nomination is most
popular. Without such a resort, the
divided partv would have no chance of
succeedinffairainst that which'is united.
Where,, then, was the necessity for
exciting an alatm on this subject, by a
44 voice from the For? si" charging
Members of Coheres' with " vwn-
xtrons and daVizertus usurpation of
power," calling Members of Assembly
a servile body, and "raising ; apprehenr
j'ions of ' a frnrful looking for of the
time to come ?" " -t--

requested the ministers of the Gospel in

The Colonization Society was or
ganized at Washington City in 1817.
Its object is to proniote and execute a
planTfor colonizing, with their'consentj
our free people of colour in Africa, or
such other place as Congress may deem
expedient.. Experience has served to
confirm the practicability of the plan,
and the hope that its efforts, if .properly
sustained; will be followed with the
best results. This establishinentwill
not only be very beneficial to the free
people of colour ; but remove' from this
country a great evil, ami : will be of
great importance in putting a stop to
the slave trade. It will also afford an
asylum for such slaves as shall hereaf
ter be emancipated, so as to remove
those difficulties fwhiclAnow stand in
the way of emancipation $ and this So
ciejy may be the means of civilizing
Africa, by imparting to her -benighted
millions moral and religious improve
ment ; and when once enlightened, the
natives will vindicate the cause of hu
manity, peace and happiness will reign
in the land, and the long injured Afri
can claim the rights of his fellow-men.
The Synod of this State, of Virginia
and Philadelphia-.; the general Confe
rence of the Episcopal Church, the ge
neral Baptist ( onvention, the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
es, and the General Conference of the
Methodist. Church, have all given their
sanction to this Society ; and we hope
the plan recommended by the citizens
of Petersburg, of having at least one
discourse in every town and populous
neighborhood for the promotion of this
society, on the 4th of July, will be ge-'
nerally adopted.

Draining: Swawps.A Carolinian,
in a series of numbers published in the
harleston Courier, has undertaken to
prove that the causes of the unheal thi
ness of the lower sections of Carolina
may be removed. This unliealthiness
being attributed to the extensive swamps
which, in South Carolina, 'exclusive of
the salt marshes, are .computed to co
ver a surface of 000 square miles,
throughput the whole of which,; at cer
tain seasons of the year, there is a con
stant decomposition of vegetable mat
ter 5 the writer proposes to remove the
causes of disease, by a general system
of embanking, clearing, and. draining
all. the swamp lands, and' rendering
them fit for dry culture. He expects
to be able to show, not only -that this
scheme is practicable, but? that the
wbrk ,may be eflected by the Legisla
ture without imposing any additional
taxes on the citizens.
The following is from Blackwood's
Magazine, a worjv not noted for partial
ity to this country : there does not
exist at this time, on the whole face of
the earth, any district more flourishing,
more improving, or more enterprizing
than the State of New-York. The
great t anal, which beggars' to insigni
ficance all similar undertakings in the
world, and in point of extent; is the
largest line of continued labor in the
world, after the wall of China, is of it
self a sufficient proof and illustration of
the tact." " .
