 But we would next inquire, how does the gentle man silew us that the American Colon Society is the apoogist sin. For these two reasons. First because the Society does not exert any direct nfu- ence upon slavery. or rather because it does not di- recty interfere with the claims of slave proprietors- SecOnd-that they do not believe in the doctrine of instant emancipation. l would ask the gentleman, how IS possible for the society interfere directly with the claims of slave propriescrs land they cannot be criminal Tor failing to do what they cannoi) when they cannot purchase their liberty egisaie upon 1t! They must therefore use the influence of persua- sIon, ana induce them to voluntary pation by holding out motives like the ollouVing-as furnishing suitable territory for their colonization, aiding with funds !" their removal, showing them the evils of the slave holding system, and by throwing around them in various ways facilities and light. These things the society have done and are they blame .wnrthy for fail ing to do what they could not? But especially in the second place. the gentleman condemns them, for not Un with them the whole christian continuity. Yes, for raising even doubt against this novel doctrine of in- stant emancipation. For he says" lf tt be true that government Flaw is always preferable to that of will if there any such things natural unaena- ble rights; tt man stealing Is stealing, then can not raise doubt against the doctrine of instant eman cipaton, without becoming the apologst of sin." would ask this subtle logican and moralist whether Christ did not suffer works the Sabbath day when the commandment thus" Thou shalt not do any work :"-whe.her we are not permitted to take food from another when plnched with hunger, when the 9th commandment forbids theft? May we not then be suffered even to doubt that slave holding may under certain peculiar circumstances for time be innocent? May we not raise one doubt without being brandred with infamy?

 Distressing from HdUana-We learn with great regret, the death of Mr. Sh0ier, the United States Consul at Havana, by the Cholera, and the rapid spreading of that terrible disease at Matanzas. This news has been received from letter Of March 30lh. brought by the Brig Ariel, which arrived her yes,er- day, tn ten days from Mantanzas. It states the ,aliy at Havana at 5000; which, well the ac. count of Mir. Shalers death, had been derived from letters from that ciiy.-N. Y. Dai. AdU. April l2.

 Cholera subsided at Havona.-The brig Whim Capt. Hatch arrived here yesterday in nine days from Havana, having sailed the 4th inst ut which time the Cholera had entirely Subsided and business had sumed it's usual activity. The death of our Consul Mr. Shacr, is confirmed. Mir. Cleveland was acting as Consul.-b. Is.

 Steamboat Accident.-We learn that the boat Chief Justice Marshal, Capt. Howes, from Hartford for N. York, on Friday night, about II o'clock, between Straford Point and Black Rock, came in contact with

 schooner of about 100 tons, both vessels being under tMN way, blowing heavy and extremely dark. The Chief Justice struck the schooner her quarter had her false bow in. toss chain and anchor with other damage. Laid by for the schr. fifteen min utes, but saw nothing more of her, as she passed swiftly away. From inc marks or blood and flesh or the wreck ofthe bows, is feared that some persoo ;r the Rchr badly wounded, if not killed. We learn these particulars from Capt. Beecher, of the boa, Splendid, who brought up the Hartford passe ngers f om New-York on Saturday evening. The misfor- tune is to be attributed mainly, 10 the fact that the schooner showed no light; fault which has too of. zen occasioDed disasters the wa;eis of the Sound.-N. HAv. HER.
