Ata meeting-of the General Associn üonof Michigan al Marshall, Sept. 24, 1845, a series oí' resolutions on SlaveuY wns mtroduced by Rev. E. H. Fairchild, and íifter discussion and amendment were adopted in th-e íbMowing form:Resolved, That tlie practiceot buying, selling, iínd holding human beings as ás t s racticed in a portion of ihe'üni'ted States, s a gross violation of the law oí God, and ought to be discounlenanced and opposed in all appropnate vavs, as a heihous sin. 'Resolved, That American Slavery is one of the greatesf obstad es in the way of Ihe spread of the gospel and the salvadon of men. Resolved, That this Association most earnestly vecommend to all the Ministers and Churches connected with it, to exclude from their pulpitsthose Ministers, and from their communion those membera of churches, who persist in sustaining tlie legal velation of slaveholder, and also practically treqtmen asproperty. This action of the Association we approve. It places the sin of slaveholding in company with olher sins, and proposes tö take the same action concerning it that is required by persistance in other acts of acknowlcdged wickedness.(Jl3 The Working Women of New York City lately met in Convention at the City ü all, to consider their wrongs and the appropriaie remedies. Numerous trades we re represented. A TradesUnion of the young working women of the cily was formed. We are pleased to see this class of females trying to elévate themselves. Oreat numbers of them are undoubtedly oppressed by the weaithy, who take advantdge of their necessitous condition to compelthe'm.to work for almost nothing. A mere schedule of pnces or set of regulations, however well drawn, we fear will be but a small protection against avarice. In social evils, as in those of a physical nature, the remedy must be sought by an attentive consideration of the nature of the evils themselves. The seamstresses especial]y are said to be robbed of their earnings to a great extent by theshopkeepers who sell the articles made by them.- The best remedy for this would probably be for a number of females of this class lo combine their means, and open and supply shops of their owtí. Labor and Skill united coulci soon omaln a ftrtr wmpensation against the exorbitant demands of Capital.05 It seems that Bishop Onderdonk was defended before the ecclesiastical tribunal by legal counsel. One of these, Mr. Ogden, a lawyer of reputalion, is quoted as expressing himself thus: "The gentleman will say, VVhat! do you destroy the credit of these two girls? Is the reputation of respectable females to be thus trifled wkh? I reply, is the reputation of a minister of the great God not equal to any woman's I am the last man on earth who would voluntanly attempt to destroy the reputation of a female for veracity, but when I compare tl wilh the reputalion of the Church, and one of her Bisfwps and Falhers, in mrj opinión it amounts to nothing!" We presume Mr. Ogden did not mean as lic said: he was speaking as a luwyer, not as a man or a gentleman.05a Fowler, the celebrated phrenologist is teaching the New Yorkers the secrets of the science. He says that laï-ge' combativeness may be known by the harshness of the tones, and the short and shárp manner of speaking words.- . Whereas in love, the tones are bird-like, and the words liquid. ín ihe cars, going to Boston, the lecturer said he heard a young man mate some casual remark about the weather, in a tone soft and plainíive. He asked the privilege of putting a question to h'.m, which was granted.- Iíave you not been in love1? Why, how did yoLi know that? replied the young man' By your tone. He confessed that he was on a return from the South, where he had been a teacher, and most sadly disappointed in love. When husband and wife are heard to use sharp, short words, in their ordinary conversation. it is evident that love has not had its mollifying effects.(L7 Mr. Foster, a 'true Liberty man,' Whig,) U. S. Senator from Tennessee, lelivered himself as follows on the 28th j!t: lie denouncedthe Abolitionists, and all their supporters, and he, forone, would do so, wlienever they might attempt to 1 oíate ;the rights of the south; -he would hold the constitution which guarantied these rights in one hand, and in the otheracatinon with a lighted match, to receive them, and they might make choice of cithcr of these ulternatives."- New Lisbon Aurora.03 Notwithstnnding the mimerons pelitioiw for abolishing militia mustera, the Legsiaturë foPed to enact any thing for remedyñ; this grievunce, and the people are to be t]raRd out to "trnmings" nnotlier As farTs wc remember, every paper in the State coucurred in the cal! for dispensing with these seless and expensive fooleries. The next Lsgislamre will nbolish theevi), if the people are trtie to themeelves. In Collins, N. Y. the whole vote was 575vtfó$ of wbich 2G0 wcre given for the Liberty ticket.
