Mr.. MURRAY:
SlR,-If you can afford room in your
paper, and will publish few remarks de-
sire 10 make, in regard to SLAVERY and the
abolition of it, you will confer a favor on
me by so doing.
In the first place, I wish to say something
in regard to the following resolution, which
was passed at the Anti-Slavery Convention
at Middlebury last week.
Resolved, That those who profess to alb
h0r slavery, and at the same time refuse to
act in accordance with the principles laid
down in the Constitution Of the American
Anti-Slavery Society, do not stand on aueu-
trail ground, but, on the contrary, lend their
aid in sustaining slavery.
confess, Sir, that the above resolution
is strong; but on hearing the discussion
which preceded the adoption of it, and on
examining the Constitution above mention
3D. am led 10 believe that the resolution
contains correct doctrine. Should any OF
the readers of the Telegraph, or any one
else, think differently, / would thank such
individual to point out the part that is not
correct. When our Savior was on earth,
he said in plain terms, that man is either
| for or Ggdinst-that be could not stand on
neutral ground. fully believe this doc
trine will apply in all cases. therefore
wish every protested christian, and every
one else, who desires the universal preva-
lence of freedom, to examine the subject
thoroughly and candidy, and see which
side they are on. If the principles laid down
in said Constitution are not correct-if they
are not in accordance with those taught by
our Savior, certainly have desire thai
some one would furnish plan that is right
and whenever enc is furnished that looks tc
] me more like accomplishing the object de.
! signed-of raising the eolored population d
the United States TO their proper station II

The following resolution was handed to
the Committee Of Business by Prof: Dean
of Burlington, and by them reported; but
in the pressure of business at the close Of

be called to it. Please insert in your paper

~"J. ROGERS HAS GONE TO SPRING
is the information recently
given by postmaster living somewhere !;
but he does not tell where. He writes sim
ply what stands at the head Of this article,
on a copy Of the Telegraph, and returns it,
taking it for granted, no doubt, that the edi-
tor of the Telegraph must know the "where-
about" of erery J. ROGERS who takes the pa
per. On turning to my mail-books, l find,
at once, three subscribers by the name of J.
RogerS-and two of them in the same di,
rection with Springfield. How, then, can /
know lohich Of them is meant, unless this
postmaster furnish me with his own address!
And while he is about it, will he be so kind
as to inform me, as there are tpo post-offi-

on reading the foregoing, should hesitate

Miss A. E. GR1mKE addressed the
committee of the legislature on the subject
of slavery, in the Representatives hall on
Wednesday and Friday afternoons of last
week. The hall was crowded to over
flowing. On Wednesday, great stiffness
prevailed; but on Friday, some of the
6 baser sort" were disposed to make some
disturbance. She spoke nearly three
hours each day Her style is concise,
clear and logical and it is not too much
to say, that no man among US could have
done the subject better justice; and some
of her appeals came with more force
from her being a woman. She could not
now, she said, visit her aged mother in
Charleston, without endangering her life
We must say, we think woman in
such a public assembly, entirely out Of
her place If she had met the committee
with few friends, and told them wha!
she knew, it would all have been very
we'll. We have no fears, however, that
any evils will ensue to our females gene
rally, from this example, as none among
US are capable of thus addressing a pubHc
assembly, and the impression generally
prevails, even with those who approve Of
the course of these sisters that they are
privileged characters, as were the preph.

her out of place the editor of the Spectator
has neglected to give. Doubtless he has

AN IMPORTANT INvBNTIoN.-We observe
that at the exhibition ofthe Franklin Institute
in Philadelphia, they have samples of fax, in
nine or ten different stages, until it is reduced
to short staple very much resembling Sea
island cotton. The object of the inventor is
to adapt this material to the same process of
manufacture as cotton; and by experiment the
plan has been found to work well. Linen thread,
spun on cotton machinery, bears very good
appearance; and these stages of the difficulty
overcome, there remains none in the weaving
of the cloth. A company is already incorpo-
rated by the Pennsylvania Legislature for the
manufacture, and we may soon have linens as
cheap as cotton. ...-
There is very often some danger in noticing
new inventions, as the sanguine expectations
of the inventors, and the interested represent
atoms of those who embark capital, and finally
chouse the original protector out of all own
nership IN the concern, give many contrivances
and inventions fictitious but short value. We
trust that this ever-rating is not the case with
the discovery just published in the manulacto-
ry of fax. The article v become staple
of the northern and middle States, and be-
side the mandatory of piece linen which
will thus be introduced into the country, many
new fabrics, combinations of linen and cotton,
linen and silk, and even of all three, with perhaps
the introduction Of wool, will form a new era,
and give us an lnexhaustible variety of domes-
tic goods.-.M Y. Sun,

MORE PARTICULARS OF THE GALE
AND DISASTERS
The gale of Monday evening was more Sc
we're and disastrous in its effects to the Lake
shipping than any before experienced The
coast below, presents most melancholy ap-
pearance, Capt. Shepard, of the steamboat
New York, arrived at this port at 9 o'clock
this morning, and reports the losses to be very
great. The Lake shore between this port and
Erie is literally strewn with wrecks--of the
disasters below Erie, Capt. s. is not able to
inform us. Capt. Shepard counted twelve yes
sells ashore this side of Erie, among them the
schooners Agnes Barton or Benjamin Barton,
Swan, Toledo, Hiram, Sandusky and Ralph
Granger. Others belonged to the Lower Lake,
and names not learned. vessels were
bound up, frcighted with merchandise, gener-
ally heavy laden, it being nearly the close Of
navigation. The steamboat New England,
was ightened of her cargo of flour before she
struck. Some 500 barrels were thrown over
board.
Capt. s. succeeded in bringing the New
York into the harbor ofAshtabula, and ten yes-
sells made that port in the height of the gale.
The same number succeeded in making the
port of Coneaut. At those ports considerable
damage was done to the vessels, by running
foul of each other in entering the port, and col
lissions from the narrowness of the harbors, and
their exposure to the surges of the Lake. The
upper works of nearly all the vessels in those
harbors were injured, and several badly broken
up.
So far as heard, no lives lost in the great
wreck ofproperty.

TRADE OF THE MAuMEE.--With the expe-

can doubt but that much of the trade of Ch,ca
go and the ports upon Lake Michigan, which
now goes around by way of the lakes, will on
the completion of the Wabash and Erie and the
Indiana and Lake Michigan canals take route
through those channels to their port of destina-
tion, in preference to their more hazardous and
longer way through the lakes. Lake Erie,
with its fine harbors and well known navigation
has proved itself sufficiently dangerous for
fall business, and the upper lakes must be, by
this time abandoned for the season, while there
are still immense Quantities ofgoods to be sent
in that direction.
