Draining: Swawps.A Carolinian, in a series of numbers published in the harleston Courier, has undertaken to prove that the causes of the unheal thi-ness of the lower sections of Carolina may be removed. This unliealthiness being attributed to the extensive swamps which, in South Carolina, 'exclusive of the salt marshes, are to cover a surface of 000 square miles, throughput the whole of at certain seasons of the year, there is a constant decomposition of vegetable matter 5 the writer proposes to remove the causes of disease, by a general system of embanking, clearing, and.

draining all. the swamp lands, and' rendering them fit for dry culture. He expects to be able to show, not only -that this scheme is practicable, but? that the wbrk be eflected by the Legislature without imposing any additional taxes on the citizens. The following is from Blackwood's Magazine, a worjv not noted for partiality to this country there does not exist at this time, on the whole face of the earth, any district more flourishing, more improving, or more enterprizing than the State of New-York.

The Colonization Society was organized at Washington City in 1817. Its object is to proniote and execute a planTfor colonizing, with their'consentj our free people of colour in Africa, or such other place as Congress may deem Experience has served to confirm the practicability of the plan, and the hope that its efforts, if sustained; will be followed with the best results. This establishinentwill not only be very beneficial to the free people of colour but remove' from this country a great evil, ami will be of great importance in putting a stop to the slave trade.

It will also afford an asylum for such slaves as shall hereafter be emancipated, so as to remove those difficulties fwhiclAnow stand in the way of emancipation and this So-ciejy may be the means of civilizing Africa, by imparting to her -benighted millions moral and religious improvement and when once enlightened, the natives will vindicate the cause of humanity, peace and happiness will reign in the land, and the long injured African claim the rights of his fellow-men. The Synod of this State, of Virginia and the general Conference of the Episcopal Church, the general Baptist onvention, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Churches, and the General Conference of the Methodist. Church, have all given their sanction to this Society and we hope the plan recommended by the citizens of Petersburg, of having at least one discourse in every town and populous neighborhood for the promotion of this society, on the 4th of July, will be ge-' nerally adopted.

A simi lar meeting to this was held previous to the election of Jefferson, Mr. Madison, and Monroe andis, indeed, resorted to in every important election in our State Governments.
