Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1843-09-06
At HON AGAIN.

When wrote from New York. it was
my intention to continue The journal ofmy
tour, writing from time 10 time, as ltrav-
elled from place to place. But | found so
much to occupy my attention and 10 give
me employment continually, that ! find
myself at home, at the end Of almost two
weeks from the dale Of my former COM
munication, and no! word written.
And have reached home, and got seated
in my chair, at 50 late an hour, that there
| is time for brief sketch only. before the
paper must SO to press.
My Object,
/ 10 visiting the City, was. to make ex-
mination as to facilities for publishing
The RsgenerGtor. The result is, the con-
frmation Of my irst and abiding opinion,
that the paper can at present be made
more efficient, located at New Y ork, than
at any other point in the universe. lneed
not stop to speak Of the United States. in
distinction from any other part of the
globe, as being the most proper and favor
able place for commencing the dissenina
ton Of progressive, regenerating truth. !
shall take this for granted - leaving the
door open for controversy, without let or
hindrance. to any who may choose to en-
ter. As for the city of New Y ork, it is
the great centre from which to diffuse in
telligence throughout the western world.
The Regenerator is not 10 be sectional
paper. Ii is no more to be confined to
section than TO sect. 1t will know no
bounds, as TO place--as it will none, as to
improvement in knowledge and practical
well doing. Why then should it not take
a central position, for the better aceommo.
dation Of all around 10 the circumference
The Telegraph is already circulating
widely in the State CT New York. 1t
finds its way into upwards oftwenty coun.
ties in that State, Its circulation in Mas
sachusetis is considerable. 1t reaches all
the other New-England States. The
number Of its readers is increasing in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. These facts are
not mentioned by way of boasting Of a
large patronage. 1t is not large. 1t is
limited. II is Thin, and in some sections
has been thinning, but is enlaTging in ex-
tent The facts are mentioned to show
the propriety Of taking central position,
for the better accommodation of all. A
paper in Vermont must travel across the
centre towards the opposite side Of the
circumference, to get 10 readers in Ohio.
So of paper in Ohio, to getto readers in
Vermont. So with reference to Massachu-
sets and the State Of New York. So
with any other states situated on opposite
sides Of this great centre. In thus speak
| ing Of the city of New-York as COM
mon centre, have reference, princi-
pally, TO mail facilities.
The most Of those who are to do the
work in carrying forward this enterprise,
including myself, are averse to living in
the city. We much rathe. 60 into
community at once, If we could feel at
liberty to consult only our own present
ease and convenience. But it is our
conviction that some sacrifice ought to
be made, for while, on the part Of those
who see what is necessary 10 be done, for
the greater promotion Of the general good.
Or, to speak more philosopbicaly, we
feel il a privilege, situated as things are
in their present unnatural state, to do
what it would not be privilege to do
| under other circumstances, and to look
for happiness in the course. In this
view Of the case, perhaps Il is not strict
ly the best use Of language to talk Of a
sacrifice being made. We find ourselves
and others forced into unnatural rela-
tons. The inquiry with US is, or ought
to be, to know how we can be most eff
fcient in restoring things to more nat
ural, harmonious aud happy condition,
No doubt In this we shall be charged
with officiousness, by those who see
things differently. But each. and all
must see with their own eyes; and those
who would be happy or useful must fol-
low their own sight and not the sight of
others. Whoever undertakes to follow
| the sight of others. to the neglect of his
own sight, must of course wander in
darkness. This is the thing the world
