We have fo.r years seen and deplo- red the wide departures of many of the fe- males of our land from those spheres of du- ly, and of action, in which their Creator de- signed them to move, and have, on divers . .occasions, incurred the charge of heresy, for venturing to rebuke the practice. Thus we have opposed the oraanization of female • temperance societies, female anti-slavery so- cieties, &c. &c. And thus do we oppose the practice of \silly women,\ of crowding Hie tables of Congress with petitions upon .Subjects in respect to, .which it is not their orovince to move.- Our female friends will find « beautiful lesson as to their duties, in the Ian verse of the first chapter of the Epistle of James :— \ Pure religion, and u&deilled before Ood and the Father is this, To visit the father- less and widows, in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted front the world.''— In the discharge of these and such-like du- plies! the female cfaaractershines with a beau- tiful lustre; and we pray ihe sex to study tjie holy Scriptures, with a view of having just nations of their duties, rather than the pages of .fanaticism—npou any subject.— We make no appeal to \our female bretli- len\ engaged iu the anti-slavery conventions of the day, because they are probably past cure; but we do hope, that other ladies, married, and unmarried, will listen to the voice of wisdom, as spoken by the Massa- chusetts Association; and become \ keep- ,ers at home,\ instead of \ busy bodie'S\ in matters respecting wnich it concerns them not to take a public part. We wish the phrenologists would direct their attention to .the discovery of an organ of stayathomi•^- Mtiveness, with a view to its more general Cultivation by mothers and nurses. \•We invite your attention to the dangers, which at present seern to threaten the female character with wide-spread ruin and perma- nent \tyttry. The appropriate duties and influence of women are clearly stated in the New Testament. Those duties and that in- fluence are unobtrusive and private, but the source ef mighty powlfr. When'the mild, dependent, softening influence of woman upon the sternness of man's opinions, is ful- ly exercised, society feels the effect of it in a thousand forms. The power of woman is in 4ier dependence, flowing from ihe con- sefcrasaess of that weakness which Gtxl has given her for her protection, and which keeps her in those departments of life, that form the character of individuals and of the nation. There are social influei«:cs which females Use in promoting piety and Hie great objects of Christian benevolence, which we cannot ttvo highly commend. We appreci- ate the Unostentatious prayers and efforts of woman, in advancing the cause of religion at home and abroad; in' Sabbi/th schools; or leading religious inquirers to the pasior for instruction ; and iu all such associated efforts as becomes the modesty of her sex ; and earnestly hope she may abound more and more in these labors of love. But when she assumes the place and tone of man as a public \•reformer dor tsare-and protection of lflr ieem nnecessary. We put ourselves in . sslf-defence,; she yields the power which God'.'has given her for her protection, and heiMcfoeracter becomes unnatural. If the vide #hose strength and beauty is to .hear upon the trellis work and help conceal its clusters, thinks to assume the independence and overshadowing ijarure of the elm, it will not cease to be.ir fruit, yet fall with shame and dishonor to the dust. We caq- ndt therefore, but regret the mistaken con dtfet of those, who encourage females to bear an obtrusive and ostentatious part in measures of reform, or* couutenance any of that 8eK, who so far forget themselves as to itinerate in the character of public lecturers and-feaehers.- We especially deplore the intimate acquaintanceandpromiscuouaxon- versatiou with regard ID, things \ which, ought fiot to be Bamerl,\ by which that mod- esty and delicacy whleh are the charm of do- medtid life, and Wbich constitute the true influence of wonwp'jo society are consumed and the way openeS, fur degeneracy and ru- in.\ Frorri the PlUrturgh Dully Com.-Bn!letln.

Bank after 15ank has been chartered, corporation ha§ '•succeeded corporation, and those last erect- ed always superior in puint of power- to the preceding. The Banking capital of the state has been increased forty-two millions within the last two years, thirty-fiv^of which. is wielded with gigantic strength by one in-, stitution; one fifteenth part of the whole banking capital of the' United States .has thus been erected, within two years by the- state .of Pennsylvania alone! and by whgnj|^ By the friends of the administration plpi.

ThfJ.IJ. S. Bank, was chartered by whigs and aflti-masons to control and regenerate the currency of the state, and secure it against «hy fluctuation. But mark the re- sult: that institution has, like other banks, by its mismanagement,\ been forced to stop payment, and is loaded with a domestic and foreign debt, which makes her condition hopeless; she may indeed never recover her- self. On the first of May. the bank owed, itt-Europe, eleven millions, four hundred and sixty-seveu thousand, seven, hundred and sixty dollar. 0 , lo be paid in less than a year in specie. To bill-holders she was indebted $7,I03,021—to depositors, $2,846,933—to state banks a balance of $333.598—and more than $9,000,000 to the U. S. Government. The amount of her debts, all due $29,831,- 313. , You will naturally and properly inquire, how much specie had she on hand to meet these engagement*? • Had she $20,000,000? no—nnr 10, nor 5 millions—she possessed but 1,490,980 in specie • not sutficieot to pay one dollar in twenty for wjpch she was re- sponsible. And yet the democracy of the state are told that this institution should be sustained! and that its corruptions under whig and anti-masonic patrooage should be sanctioned. N: t PRIMITIVE METHODISM.—The eighteenth annual Conference of the Primitive Metho- dist Connexion at Sheffield, England, show- ed ^following state of the connexion:— .S5 ( 2\ < nfembers, 450 travelling preachers, 5843 lotsal;preachers, 923 chapels; being an increase fo'i the year of 3971 members, 47 travelling preachers, 539 local preachers, and 131 chapels. [From Hie Albany Argus.J . * THE PAST AND THE FUTDkis.— Wo may now safely congratulate our countrymen on the restoration of public confidence, energy and enterprise, both national and individual. The CRISIS is over. The elastic spirit which no misfortunes, however severe, can long de- press, will again enable us to surmount all obstacles, and recover from the weakness winch has temporarily paralyzed the opera tions of our business men, and spread its gloom over the whole body politic. Severe as the national calamity has proved, and widely and deeply as jntM&hiar distress and pressure has exlendeu<^j||fte<can doubt that its consequences will bPjjjMlLtely and per- manently beneficial. ^(HffflpNbe ra0 st ig- norant political eiilhusia»s;«vjirnow fora mo- ment pretend that the state .of Things through which we have just passed, is the result of ilie measures of our own or of any other gov- ernment; or that it has been superinduced by this or that act or neglect of the national or stale administration. The fiery ordeal by which we have been tried, may be directly traced to causes over which our public ser- vants could have no control, and in the di- rection of which they could exercise no oth- er or greater agency than the most humble and oliseure individual. The intelligent and .^Unprejudiced minds nf the nation, of whate- ver parly, have not failed to perceive fbis fact, and to govern their conduct accordingly. The \ides of March\ came—and are now, we would hope, fully passed s.cd gone^ It would be madness and infatuation not to pro- fit by the severe lesson we have received.— The evil has'jSbt been partial—as a people we have_been scourged—not by our vices— for that were too harsh a term—but by our imprudence. ' As a people, let us lay the ter- rible admonition we have received to be and as a people, let us commence the wo of reformation. Our soil is rich, and will yield abundantly. Instead of depending up- on foreign nations for our supplies, let us depend upon our own honest labor and ex- ertions. It Would be well forus, if in future, professional avocations should be less over- stocked, and agticulture and the mechanical arts more highly appreciated. The rage for pernicious speculation should be discoura- ged—and (he more certain though less rapid accumulation of competency and wealth, ari- sing from steady and productive industry, assume the plnceof that corrupt and corro- ding system which has beenso fatally and ex- tensively indulged. So far a§ the currency is concerned, onr proceeding should be char- acterized by practical wisdom and caution. Our citizens require.a.^safe and sound medi- um of exchange—and while abuses shall be lapped off, and irresponsibility avoided/great care should be taken not to endanger the sub- stantial foundations of commercial and indi- vidual prosperity. An enlightened public opinion should be consulted, and by its aid our legislators should proceed fearlessly to the work of reform, where reform is neces- sary—avoiding .ill' speculative and abstract innovations, wh#re the great interests of so- ciety and the demands of the body politic do not require their introduction. With this course, the people will be satisfied and pre- pared again to enter, with renewed and whole- some enterprise the great thoroughfares of business, industry and commerce. The na- tion will progress in its onward march to prosperity—and a new and most desirable impetus will be given to our advancement in all other pursuits which adorn and dignify the character of our people.

The letter is as followsjlviii.s ?'» • POST OFFICE.

' •.... fc , AMOS KENDALL. Messrs*. Langtre'e & O'Sullivan, Editors of the Metropolitan. OijewuuW\\tb:ink there'was'notbing in this \letter calculated to excite alarm. If the.Post Offipe department were to receive, from all men of all parties their newspaper subscrip- tions near the places of their residence, and pay them to the printers at a cost far less than postage, it would be a great accommo- dation both to subscriber and printer. If that department were to receive from labor- ing men and others small sums to be paid to their distant wives and relatives, without risk, and at a cost far less than sending by mail, it would greatly promote the interests of that class of people. If travellers could pay small sums in local currency or specie to postmas- ters, and.rake orders on postmasters ahead, on their intended routes, it would save them from loss and be a valuable facility. Indeed, there is not a class of people who, in their small dealings, would not be greatly accom- modated by such an artaogetiient. As all would have a right to demand the accommo- dation, there would be no chance forfavorit- ism,-no room for corruption. At first blush, it appears a litile singular to see presses which claim for the General Government the power to create a great cor- poration to control all tbe.jbands of the coun- try, and carry on all the domesiicexchanges, objecting to the grant of thisH incidental fa- cility in small matters, through the instru- mentality of one of its departments. A lit- tle reflection however, will solve the whole mystery. It would relieve theyeaple from one of the inconveniences they now feel from the want of a paper currency in general fredit for remittance, and thereby annihilate one of the <pr$wdjpat -qstgutitenU in favor of a national ^nfc^Jl^tbahl^iresses are hot willing to $egT^p%6\)JeiKlio.fe<k,fyow the inconven- ience altogether,,and even saved Itlle-greater portion of the expense, becairse they might not then feel the want of a national bank. — Hence arises all tlie patriotic fears of these gentlemen, and their disinterestedness in de- clining this boob, and their arguing against P' lg it to others. They fear the people ke their Government more xail^tkt 'bank ' they perceive the former can grant greater facilities in making their re- mittances than the latter has ever granted, or ever can. The objections'originated in the National (bank) Gazette, and \no doubt were an emanation, direct or indirect, from Mr. Biddle, who has sagacity effongh to per- ceive that fhe plan suggested would render a general paper currency of no use to nine- tenths of tHe*people. With his usual patri- otism he prefers to see them encounter a heavy expense, and the risk of miscarriage and depredation, rather than lose the argu- ment derived from the iticonvenience of not having paper for remittance. From the tenor of bis letter, we presume the Postmaster General has no desire, so far as he is personally concerned, to see this ad- ditional labor and responsibility thrown upon him; but as he has no doubt of the practi- cability of the scheme, it is a grave question whether the public interest does not require its adoption, whatever may be its inconven- ience to public officers.— Globe. MISSISSIPPI EMOTION.—The only addi- tional information brought by the Express Mail, of the election in Mississippi, is con- tained in the following extract from the Au- gusta Constitutionalist (a Van Buren paper) of the 1st instant. \MISSISSIPPI.—By this day's western mail, we have received Mississippi papers'contain- ing returns from Lowndes, Kemper, Monroe, Choctaw, and several other counties, of the election for members ef Congress. Messrs. Gholson and Claiborne, the Van Buren can- didates, were carQ-ing ever£ thing before tbem.\ -,. \ In the four cotiBties named, the Van Bu- ren p\arty had a majority of 404 at the Pres- idential election.

The number of Delegates, by which the several towns are entitled to be represented in the said Convention, is as follows : Bris- tol 3, Canadice 3, Oanandaigua 6, East Bloomfield 3, Farmington 3, Gorham 3, Hopewell 8, Manchester 3, Naples 3, Phelps 5, Richmond 3, Seneca 7, Victor 3, West Bloomfield 3.—Dated August 14,1837. ALBERT LESTER, Sec'y of the last Rep. County Convention, OPPOSITION Pnisctr-LF.s.—The N. York Courier and Enquirer openly encourages the merchants and others to a resistance of the laws; the New-York Star says il is a great misfortune that persons should vote who are not freeholders; Mr. Biddle says our first obligation is to pay foreigners; and the St Louis Republican, of June 21, adjures the Indians on the frontier to take nothing from the government but gold and silver, and calls on the Sacs and Foxes to refa$e the goods purchased in New-York for thfcm by the government! These are specimens of opposition liberality and patriotism— Little gackfArh.J Caz. . - • ', THE CuRkENCT— who are the \ exclusives , 'l —The Castleton (Vt.) Statesman furnishes a convincing answer .to this question, in a short compass. It says: \Because the democrats advocate reform —the introduction of »nore specie into the circulation of the country, they are charged with striving to introduce an exclusive metal- lie currency. Perhaps some do entertain such an idea ; but the evidence of it is ee'r-' tainly no stronger than it is that the whjgs are iu favor of an exclusive paper currency. The evidence of the latter is too palpable to be mistaken. We published, last week, an extract from the Baltimore Chronicle, a lea- ding whig paper, ir> which is the following sentiment: 'The, truth is, the banks of the 'United States are always the strongest wben 'they hold the least specie, and the country 'always the richest when it has the least ' gold and silver.' \ \ Hard money for our common transactions. Bank notes, equivalent to. specie, for the commerce of the country.\ We quote ihe above sentiment recently of- fered by Governor Campbell, of Virginia, at a dinner given to that gentleman by a number of his neighbors and friends. It expresses, as briefly and concisely as words can do it, an opinion entertained by a large portion the democracy of the country. It is said the bread speculators have their agents in the southern part of the state; who go about inquiring of the farmers their prices for the coming crops, and telling them that prices will continue as high as at present, but make no contract. Their object is said to be to induce the farmers -to hold\ their produce at a high price, until fhs holders of flour can dispose of what they have on hand. — Utica Democrat. THE WHIGS OF 1837.—The frequent at- tempts of the Bank to tyrannize Over the people, have awakened their, energies. The friends of civil liberty in all parts of the Un r ion' are up and doing; The whigs of the present dayi led-on by Nicholas Biddle, are the same as the federalists of 1799 and 1800,, acting under the political principles of Ham- ilton, who advocated a public debt as a pub- lic blessing, and who declared that he had* no confidence in a government pf the peo pie. He \attempted when secretary of the Treasury, to organize a power which should be independent 6T the people. „ He regarded an agent, in the shape of a U. S. Bank, un- der the control of the monied aristocracy of the country, as a blessing, and as possessing that golden influence over the people with- out which his form of government would fall to pieces. On the other hand, Thomas Jefferson was at the head of the great demo- cratic party which achieved the gloriojjs civ- il revolution of 1800. Jefferson had the- confidence of the people. He was opposed to a public debt, arftl laid, by his economy, the foundation for the means of paying it off, which was afterwards accomplished by Gen. Jackson. He was opposed to a U. S. Blink, and all its devices. His confidence in the virtue of the people was unlimited. How closely these two great politliwl lead- ers of that day, are followed by the parties of the present day. The Bank whigs of 1837 are the same as the Federalists of 1800.— The Democrats of 1837 are the Democrats of 1800. A change of name has not effect- ed any change of political principles. The same parties are opposed to each other now, which were then. True, the mooted power arrayed against the democratic .party is stronger than it was then, but the principles are the same, and the question will be settled as effectually now as it was then. The Bank, with all its millions, will find itself unable to establish its tyrannical power. The system pursued by it, to mislead the honest and un- suspecting part of community, is deplorable. Those are placed ^foeemost in the unhallow- ed work of deception, who are the most a- dept in stratagem and spoil. MeYi who are continually changing their political name, are like' the highway robber, who, to avoid detection, 'wojild- as freely change his. It behooves tlfet democratic presses every where to \cry aloud and spare uot.\ There is^-a spirit of inquiry abroad, which is resistless. The people, (n their elections, will select good men and true, as their republican ar- gents, and who - are faithful to the practical democracy of Jefferson. SAIE OF PDBI.IC LANDS,—The President of the United States has issued a Proclama- tion, ordering a sale at\ auctionf commen- cing oh \the 9th of October next, of certain unappropriated public land^in the following places:' At Laporte, in the state of Indiana. At Hejena, in the state of Arkansas. At Opelousas, iu the state of Louisiana. At St. Stephens, in the state of Alabama. At Choccuma, in the state of Mississippi. A^t Milwaukee, in the Teiritory of Wis- consin, i \ , The sales to be kept up two weeks. MISSISSIPPI.—The democratic party in this state Is victorious. We have' received returns from 12 counties in this state, which show an increased majority in favor of cor- rect principles. Our gain.since the Presi- dential election, has been about 1000. votes. The Rev. J. Leavitt-has relinquished' the editorial management of the N. York Evan- gelist; ReV. N. E. Johnson formely pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Cortland vil- lage, now soijdiipts it. It is understood that he will advocate the samp principles as his predecessor.' , Spurious bills to the amount of $6,000 were found dn a trio of \counterfeiters who were arrested in Buffalo on the 3d instant.— They consisted of 16 $10's on the U. S. Bank, Philadelphia, 42 $100's of the Marine Bank of Baltimore, 10 $100's of the Marine Bank of Boston, together with a number of smaller amounts. Their names are given as John S. Martin, Geo. L. Davis, andBenj. F. Shepard. , Another gajg was recently broken up at Boston, Ohio» on the information of one Meegan, an associate. Ashley, the princi- pal, was takerj while in bed—Bis cashier, as he is called,,.bejuig at the time btfsily engaged in signing biflsjf In his room «ere found $10,000 in bills,, pnrporting J .to have been is- sued by tbe'Mechanics' Bank at Toronto, V.

MICHIGAN SALT.—The Detroit Free Press states that the manufacture of Salt of a good quality' has been commenced at a salt spring, on'MjpJe iivej^_ten miles above its mouth. If this article can be manufactured to a large extent, it will-be\quite an acquisi- tion to the people in that quarter. Thomas C. Davis, has withdrawn from the Chicago American, and Edward H. Rudd assumes the e'ditorial chair. EXTEAOROINABT ABSENCE OF MlND.—A few'-days since a gentleman, who had bee.n gunning in. the.neighborhood of Verplank's Point, went into the hotel there, to await the arrival of the boat to convey him to this ci- ty. While -there, some person remarked that the contents of; his game bag, were rather unsavory, which, on examination pro- ved to be the cascy'and the sportsman said he would throw .them in the river. Just then the boat came puffing along,\ and the' gentleman ran down-, but reached the wharf only just as she was putting off. He imme- diately threw his game bag and contents ou board the boat, and jumped in the river him- self. - He was with difficulty rescued, having received nothing more serious than a good ducking and a severe fright. We can tell a still more extraordinary in- stance of ABSENCE- OF MIND.—A gentleman came into our office one day last week, ,ajid in a moment of aberration of mind, asked for his bill, andactually paid his amount for adver- tising, job printing, &c, and for his paper one year in advance. aas „•-,»-, r|?r;tbA»9y%%!!.ett?4-'- .'•'.-.\. • IMMEDIATE El^et^TI'O^No; 3.'. * In my n%t, I promised \to ; notife^ some of the inconsistencies of \immediM%man$ipa<- tigftriW in my last, I-havothdS|h>l||plr to continue the same subject in my present number.

[For the Geneva Gazette.} THOUGHTS ON READING THE LIF,E OF JEFFER- SON. The name, the character, the virtues, and the services of Jefferson, will go down to succeeding generations, in brilliant display, upon the page of American history. They will live in the memory of his countrymen, until the the dazzling flame of liberty, which commands the wonder of the whole world, shall die awly to a single spark, and until that spark shall have gone out, no more to kindle a light in the midst of surrounding darkness. That time, the God pf our fa- thers forbid that we, or posterity should ever see.' Jefferson has long since ceased to be among us; but his memory lives. His actions have been a blessing to his country, and w/jile he slumbers beneath the sod of hisownMonticello, the North and the South> the East and the West, \ up and call him A MONUMKNT OF FREEDOM.\ Before the influence of his career, tr. e throne of the eastern monarch has been made to tremble: the chains of tyranny which have so long en- slaved three-quarters of our globe, are be- ing broken—and in the lands where haugh- ty despotism has stalked abroad for centu- riesj the rights of man are beginning to be •known and appreciated. 'In those days of tribulation, which \ tried men's souls,\ and spread dismay and gloomy forebodings over the whole length and breadth of our own country, he was found among that \weak but fearless\ band of Patriots who proclaim- ed to the world our Independence: an act which is a theme for\ praise and delight of all civilized nations; and will be a\ source of happiness and honor to generations yet un- born. - Who, after having read that inimit- able instrument, does not pronounce it the noblest of human productions ? Who, after having taken a survey of the untold benefit, prosperity, peace and felicity, which that instrument has purchased for the human family, does not feel an unconquerable dis- position to reverence the loftiness and mag- nanimity of its author? NeveT, before-nor since, did human intel- lect, unaided by Divine inspiration, origin- ate an article so valuable, so replete with reason, erudition and liberty; never has one single effort of the human mind, done so much for the bleeding interests.of civil liberty, and at the same time thrown around the rights of man, such an invincible pro- tection, as that DecTaFaTion, of wbich THOS. JEFFERSON was the author. More than eleven years have rolled away since that, great and virtuous man left the. theatre of his earthly glory p and with what pleasure he beheld, arhis departing],, .hour, the grow- ing magnanimity of tweivji millions of free- men, the foundation of whose liberty he had been an efficient co-worker in building, must have been beyond the strength ofj'irtf- agination to comprehend; and in truth might lie have said, in, the language -Jitfjgfc'i modern, .though venerable succe'.l^tir—filf; leave this nation prosperous and hap*pyV^>?IS' However genuine that sentiment tnaj^'bffj at th'e presekt moment, a voice seems ttjf whisper, where are our Jeffersons? where+|w|*of that^state- makes are his compatriots? where are the men of •7G1 S.'kll.

The fact that property of this kind is not, like most xither properly, fluctuating and un- safe, is a source, of security to the.holder not often enjoyed in the possession of other property. It is true that these times of de- pression \have reduced the price of slaves— but so soon as commercial embarrassments shall cease, slaves will command their for- mer prices. The skve-holder has an inter- est in his slave separate from the one which has just been considered. His labor 1s of immense value to the.cotton and rice-grow- er. His constitution being strong aad adapt- ed to the climate, be is enabled to perform more labor, and endure more hardships than we could rationally expect from our own la- boring classes whose constitutions are hut poorly adaptedjo labor in a southern sun For these and other reasons, which' time will not permit me to mention, the south Will not consent to emancipate her slaves speedi- ly, as proposed by abolitionists, and thereby relinquish her plantations and the commerce which she has been enabled to sustain by the cultivation of cotton, rice &c. I hold it as true, that, without the aid of slaves, the cultivation of cotton, rice and the sugar caDe, must be greatly enhanced, if not wholly aban- doned. Is'it strange thento supposethat the south are unwilling to liberate her slaves, instanterl Is it not strange and unfair to expect i'£—much less kind to DEMAND IT? 2. I hold that an attempt to procure the immediate emancipation of the slaves of this country is an attempt tq, DICTATE the south —an attempt to settle one of the most im- portant questions which ever devolved upon any country to determine—and one which ex- clusively belongs to the sole legislation of the southern states South Carolina and all the southern states are deeply interested in this subject: and I cannot see how the state of New-York can be made a party in this cause. She has one common interest so far as^the union and its preservation is concerned! but when He treat of the slaves, we touch upoD a question without the jurisdiction of New- York state, or that of any other, save the slave-holding states themselves. I look up- on the state of New-York as having no more right to interfere with the slave ques- tion, than the state of South-Carolina has to say what number of banks the state of New-York shall have: or where a rail-road in mir state shall begin, and whej'e terminate. Certainly it is an act of injustice toward the south to agitate this subject, and one of great injury to her peace and prosperity.— The doctrine of GEORGE THOMPSON, one of the greatest blacklegs that ever landed Upon our shores, was, \ TO. EFFECT -THE SPEEDY EMANCIPATION of the slaves, or DISOLVE THE\ UNION.\ Is this nothing like dictating the south ? Carry, out the doctrine of-George Under their own .vine and fig-treef^blfl shall usurp authority over them t nor raj them or make them afraid. ^.
