done, the people will sustain them. Now our course will be an open and frank oue. We shall support Mir. Adams, when right, against the Southern combination to nut him down, "right or wrOng." We will sustain him to the extent of our humble ef- forts, while he makes the good of his couu. try his polar star, notwithstanding the vic fence of the assaults against him. We openly and earnestly recommend to the friends of the Administration, in all parts Of the state, to come out early, boldly, de- cidedly-and that means should be taken. open and above board, to ascertain the public sentiment, to awaken public atten- tlon, and to present the various important questions at issue, fairly to the public mind. Let not the pOIitici0ns get the staft of the people. Let the peOpLe come out and act. Let the voice ofthe people be heard, and we confidently believe that at sciU De soeU A gentleman who has discovered mode of dressing flax without rotting, and who has an establishment in successful opera ton on the Hudson river, has agreed, if the produce of 200 acres of flax land can be secured to him, to locate himself in Es- sex or Middiesex county, where he will give $15 per ton for flax from the field, af- ter the seed is taken off, without any other preparation. 1t is calculated that at this price nett profit of from l2 to Is dollars per acre may be realized from the land while the farmer will be freed from the trouble of rotting, dressing, &c. and yet the gentleman proposes to sell his dressed flax cheaper by 20 per cent. than others who first rot, and then dress it. Besides, the flax that is dressed without rotting, is much stronger, loses less in the manu- facture, is frmer, and softer.

 Abolition of tSlaUery.-The law for the ab- olition of slavery in the state of New York, coming into force on the 4th July ensuing, ] meeting of the descendants of Africans has been held in Albany, where, on motion of Rev. MT. Paul, resolve passed to express the gra- titude of the Africans to Almighty God, by a public celebration. But as the ,chites cee- ] brate their independence on the 4th, the Afri- cans have chosen the 5th. a>

 1 A society to aid the abolition of African slavery, has been formed in SmithfeId, Ohio. Within about three weeks, accounts have been received at the office of the Genius of Universal Emancipation, of the formation of twelve new associations, upon the plan of the Ant-Slavery society of Maryland.

 That part of the odious law of Maryland which authorizes the immediate sale, out of the state, of coloured persons convicted of petty criminal offences, has to the honour of the legislature, been repealed.

 The editors of the Georgia Journal, in reply to the complaint of some subscriber, who had received his paper irregularly, make the fol- lowing sensible remark:

 :" If by the happening of some accident to the mail, our newspapers should fail but once l of reaching their destination, we soon hear of the complaints of subscribers. They are dis satisfied, and have reason to be so. From this they should learn to appreciate the dis { our subscription becomes due, and they fail to send it to us. If the failure of a newspa- per one week is matter of so much annoy ance to subscribers how much more reason have we to complain when there is failure week after week, and month after month, in the receipt of what is justly due us for our time and labour, expended for the amuse- ment and instruction of others"

 .WoOllfolk, the noted slave-dealer, has been fined for violent assault on B. Lun- dy, editor of the Genius of U Emancipa- ton. The chief justice, however, showed his disposition to punish the innocent, if he had the power. He said "he had never seen case in which the provocation for a battery was greater than the present-that if abusive language could ever be a justi6ca- tion for battery, this was that case-that ' the traverser was engaged in trade sanctioned by the laws of Maryland, and that Lundy had no right to reproach hin in such abusive language for carrying on lawful trade-that the trade itself was ben efcial to the state, as it removed great many rogues and vagabonds who were a nuisance in the state-that Lundy had re- 1 ceived no more than nerited reinstatement for his abuse of the traverser, and but for strict letter of the law, the Court would not fine Woollfolk any thing. The court however was obliged to fine him something, and they fined him one dollar and costs !'' pRTEn
