It is itjerved forow re publican firie ladies to be more choice than even their monarchial and aristocratic sisters. The n-sult is a lassitude of mind often as fatal to health as the neglect of bodily eierciscv The wife who haves ber household cares to the ser vant, pays the enalty which has been affixed to idleness since the foundation of the world, and either wilts away from ennui, or is driven into all sorts of fashionable follies to find em- ployuteut for the mind.' It is owing to a false system of education that American females have been placed in tlie posi tion they occupy in this matter. From infaney that tliey ire laofrbt by Jvaiu, Mothers that to lay to a helping band is " vulgar," and not in accordance' ith the iptt dixit of modern, fash ionable life. In this way they are reared up, useless to themselves aud to tho world, with no thing to recommend Ibem except " lilly white hands" and Frenchified "accomplishments." To be utterly ignorant of all domestic duties Roams to be the perfeetion aimed at by those who de sire to be contidered the bon ton of society.

One of the largest and most enthusiastic meet ing which has assembled in Norfolk since tbe day of the Harrison campaign was beld at Afh land Halt, on Saturday night, to bear tbe ad dress of Henry W. Miller, Esq, of Raleigh. To say that it was an able address would aot do it justice ; it was undoubtedly tbe ablest address which has been delivered in this city before a popular assemblage, since the speech of the Hon. Littleton Waller Tazewell, at the Old Court House, in 1 834, on tlie "Removal of the Depos its." - It was argumentative, elosjueut, weaaxle, with a rein of the loftiest patriotism running throughout After a feeling exordium, ti which be referred to this proud Old Commonwealth as tlie land of his birth, he launched off into tbe discussion of tbe principle and objects of tbe great Ameri can party. Whatever, says he, our opponents may say of it, it is a great American party ; it country, and never had anything been known to take auch a firm hold upon die affections of the American people in so short a time. He then went oji to show tJlfi Becsfcilj; for a new party. The two old parties met in National Conventions, in 1852, aud adopted platforms of principles, and hardly toad the ink dried ou the paper before they were violated. Showing no regard for principle but only a lust for office, the remark of Mr. Calhoun, in relation to tue party that they were " held together by the cohesive power of public plunder," became applicable to both. Hence, in part, the formationof this great Ameri can party. Mr. Miller next referred t the secrecy of the order, and the objections which were urged to itou. that ground. Many good and patriotic objects were matured in stcret session. The ' Continental Congres of 1TT4 sat in secret, also the Congres of 1775 and (hat of 1778, which made the Oeclarjition of American Independence. ! Tbe opponents of the party object to it because they won't tell them what tb y are doing. Nice fellows to object to secrecy, w hen all their . par- ty plans are arranged in secret caucuses. Mr. Mf said the members of caucuses were pledged on .tbeiraaczud words of honor but to divulge any of the transactions or 'procenlings of the caucus, and to support the nomiuee of the majority. In other words, they pledged themselves to keep from the people, any account of tbe manner in which they performed The Eusihes of"the peo ple." This was certainly more nornious than the secrecy of tbe American order, for the order is composed of the people ; they see and know all that is going on, and what right bat anybody to know their business. The wire pullers and wire workers of their oppenents who bad grown gray in secret political manoeuvres, were pretty .follow to raise the cry of secrecy against the or der. The Tammany Society, of N. York, and all tbe State Juntos held secret meetings. Tbe subject of foreign emigration was next taken up, and the evils likely to arise from tba vast accessions to our population from abroad. His- compilations of statistics from the year 1 800 down to 1855, in relation to the foreign emi gration, clearly showed the dangers to be fear ed from the influx of foreign felons, criminals, paupers aud reckless adventures, which accord ing to the foreign reviewers were " spewed" out of these countries, which their writers exulting ly boasted were "purified by the purging." In England an act of Parliament was necessa ry to allow a foreigner to become a subject, and then he was ineligible to office. The case of, Swede, who was elected a constable in London, whom Lord Mansfield decided iucapabit) of hold ing eren that office, was cited, but foreigners came to this country, and not satisfied with hold ing property and acquiring great privileges, want ed to be foisted over native of the soil, and to rule them. The constitution of tlie I . States and of Va, excluded them from the highest ex ecutive offices. Such was the fundamental law. He wished to see a long term of naturalization adopted in the U. S. say 21 years before they could vote Immigrants settled iu tlie NoJth, audincreas M the fidttl! gresa, thus endangering Southern institutions. The imemTghrcome when' they--would have two thirds aud thefebv over-ride the vote. Mr. M. then took up tlie Catholic question. lle showed that in there was a division i by the former, which isby fur the largest ! portion. He then read from Pore Boniface's so read from tlie bulls of liregory X I, in H3i ; Pius IX, iu 18J'. against tiie governincnt of il matters were interfered with. of this country. AWe read the bull against j Sardinia in the Baltimore Catholic Mirror but a 1 few weeks ago. Mr. M. alluded to the fact that Catholics had joined the order in Louisiana ; they 1 were Gallicans, who did not recognize tlie pow- j.e.r j . yiftl opi; oycI.teJaiJoralii.aud cousequetu-1 ly coblJ join .1 mvivt society.

Mr. Miller spoke three hour and a half, and was listened to throughout with the moat mark ed attention ; he was frequently interrupted with enthusiastic buret of applause, and when he closed the cheer made tbe welkia ring. e do not profess to giv even a sketch of Mr. Miller's masterly argument, simply giving m few outlines, so that our leaders may form ft faint idea of its power.
