For the Burlington Free pres,

Mr.. Stacy. Permit one who has some in
terest in the subject to offer few words
through your columns respecting the paying
prompt attention to written or printed COM
munications which may be addressed to us
by mail or otherwise, and to which some
response is asked, either by way of exchange,
Or if it be an inquiry for information on any
subject, a concise and satisfactory answer
thereto. On this head there seems to be, |
regret to say it, a strange and think cul-
Pao'e negligence. inasmuch as the trouble of
wrAbog brief reply, if information is de-
s'red' or mailing paper j" exchange where
one is received with request to do 90. is
but trihe, if the rules Of good breeding in
tho common ihterco urse of life demands that
we answer civil question put to us, or to
rcciprocate an equally civil compliment,
surely the same rule must hold good as it res
poets written or printed communications
The writer Of this article has experienced
this neglect from others in several instances
where one might suppose that prompt at
tention to his Inqurers might have been Civ
en- with very little trouble. As publisher of
the literary nondescript, entitled Vernon,
Autograph and Rcmarker, he has in the
spirit of a wel-mcnt cour,say mailed No.
Of the same to certain editors in hopes of an
exchange from whom no sort OF attention
has been given, particularly of late to the
Vermont Mercury and Lamoile Wing, to
mention nothing of repeated inquiries ad-
dressed to certain publishers down south,
which as to being answered light have been
as well addressed to gate post. These re-
marks are thrown out thus publicly in the
hope that those gentlemen editors whose re-
misness has been noticed may either repair,
it if it has been unintentional, or otherwise
assign some satisfactory reason if any they
have why an exchange has not been made.

exhibited at the Agricultural Fair recently

Very respectfully,
Your obedlenl servant,

L. a. NlCkLlFF.
We have intimations, says the New York
Tribune Of December 3D., that the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet have had under consid-
GRAFTON plan for securing the State integ-
rity, restoring and fortlfying State Credit,
and relieving State and general embarrass-
mcnts, by the magnanimous and vigorous
action Of the Federal Government The
plan, if we arc rightly informed, contcm-
plates purchase by the General Govern
ment of the right of transporting, without
further charge, Mails, Ordnance, Munitions
of War, Stores, &c. &c. OH all the Railroads
and Canals of the several States, completed
or in progress, at fair stipulated price per
mile, to be paid in bonds of the United States
or in the guaranty and Ultimate payment of
a part Of those already issued by the States
themselves. All future collision respecting
the carriage of the Mails, &C., will by this
purchase be obviated, and the Government
relieved from its present discredtable posi-
ton Of a dependant on and challercr for the
right OF way over roads which it mnst use,
yet can do so only at the pleasure of States
or Companies. On the other hand such a
sum as the facilities offered by these Works
to the Government are fairly worth, would
greatly aid the States in their efforts to main
tam their pledged faith and complete the
formidable and most laudable enterprise in
which they are so deeply embarked.
Our informant states, adds tic Tribune,
that this measure has received the deliberate
and hearty approval of President Tyler and
his Cabinet, and will be unfolded and forc-
bly, advocated in the Reports from the sew
eral departments, especially those of the
Secretary of War and Postmaster General
Should it be presented and adopted its be-
nignant influences will be felt in every de-
partmcnt of business and by every great in
terest IN the country.
