We copy below an extract which ?re tako from a letter nddretwed to the eoinnittee which rcoenlly solicited bMfftO ^Jaliver in address at the "Jerry Rescue Celebration," knd which appeared iu TT^f Stale League published at Syracuse. Tltc mnn who could uler or publish such sentiments as these, is void ?f every Christian principle.

Grent God ! can such a man live in this Christian lond 1 No wonder that after uttering these sentiments, he should seek tornpaniotiship with the crazed and ftfolish people who are congregated in Insane Asylums. We feel that he move* among them, the meanest, most abandoned nnd wretched obiccfc of all.? Life should refuse him even the slightest comfort or hope?and death should only relieve him cf life's Ills to cousiguh im to nn endless tortuo in hell. What have wo done that he should thus destroy us? The letter was written before the late affair at Harper's Ferry, and shows n fiondivbness of purpose equalled only by the tortures with which he would nfHict lis. Read It, Southerners, and be prepared for the dangers with which we are threatened : * No wcr.dcr, then,:e if, ie '!v? fact? which 1 have sketched, intelligent black men in the United States and Canada should see no hope for their race in the practice and pulley of white men. No wonder they are brought to the conclusion that no resource is left to them but in Clod and insurrections. For insurrections, then, we may look any year, any month, any day. A terrible remedy for a terrltde wrong ! But come it must, unless anticipated by repentance mid the putting awnv of the terrible wrong. "It will he kmul that these insurrections will he failures?that they will bo put. down.

Will telegraphs and railroads be too swift for even the swift* st insurrections f Remember that telegraphs r.!;d railroads can be rendered useless in nu hour. Remember, too, that many, who would hp glad to face the inscrgcntf, would he husy in transporting their wives and daughters to places where thov would i>o sate from that worst fate which husbands and fathers can imagine for their wives and daughters. I admit that but for ibis embarrassment Southern men would laugh at the idea of nil insurrection, nn<l would quickly dispose of due. But. trembling as lliey would for tlieir beloved ones, ] know of no part of tbo world where, so much as in the South, men would be liku, in a formidable insurrection, to lose the most important lime, and be distracted and panic-stricken.

Charleston Advertisement*. Our readers have no doubt rond the advertisement* thich appear in our paper this morning, of some of he business houses of Charleston. Wo are personilly acquainted with several of tlio advertisers, and ;an safely recommend their houses to the patronage if merchants and others who desire to purchnso any >f the articles advertised. Wo aro glad to perceive bat the merchants of Charleston nrc beginning to 'calire the importance of advertising in the country iress. The neglect of this thing has told fearfully ipon her trade during the past year. There was a irno when the merchants of (Irecnvillo traded In Charleston, but the past season, with perhaps one exception, all purchased their goods in Now York ind other Northern markets. We believe that goods can be purchased in Charleston us cheaply as in New York, and thoro is but one way for her to secure the trade, which is simple and . nsy. Lot the inerchnnts and business men of Charleston inform the country what they cau and sill do in the way of bargains. Adriso the merchants throughout the South that they have goods to sell, nud our word for it, the business will go in Ihat direction. This course, upon their part, will drive from the country the thousand drummers for abolition houses that now prowl in every corner of the State, Ii ia lh?. -I-* 1? - trade in Southern market* ; but it isirjaldly tbc <luty of th? wliokrulo merchant* to prosuut to the aovntry the advantages which tliey enn afford.

Ju every relation of life in which woman's heart hoa been linked with man's, she has been sadly stricken by the withering blight which this pestilence sheds from its able wines. Of all the ties on whioh the wealth of her nature is lavished, whether as wife, mother or daughter or sister, not one, however near, however tender, however site red, has beep spared. We therefore, invoke woman's aid. lit behalf of this cause, wo would onlist "tho warmth of woman's affections, tho poetry of woman's smiles, and the eloquence of woman's tears." Wo would have the ladies of our town to ponder the evils of this vice. There it none other, which, iu one black and awful gulf, swallows up so much of hope and happiness, as lut<stn|>ernnee. It prostrates all that, is great, und blights all that is good in humanity. The man of hunor, it betrays into infamy?the man of virtue, into sin.? It touches the manly frame, and it is clothed with corruption. It sei<?*s the intellect, und its di\ine lineaments nrc blotted out-forever. It breathes upon the holy affections, and they are blasted. It destroys the tendered ties of social life, exiles the sweet endearments of home, and robs the earth of its loveliness.
