RIllSteriMS 2.

The last Gazette reminds us OF lit
lie dog barking at steamboat, or hen
trying to crow at ha,vk, after both
steamer and hawk are out Of the way.
Some six or eight weeks ago the
Hawkeye bantered the Gazette to
come out and Uindicate the political
character of its master-Mar.in Van
Buren,. This it promised to do. But
has it done it! No. The Hawk
Eye has dared the Gazette from week
to week ever since to do it, but it has
utterly failed. The Gazette, although
placed in this unenviable position by us,
has nevertheless shown its wisdom by
refusing to redeem its pledge. 1t is
afraid to NEEDLE with the political char
acter of Martin Van Buren,. We have
shown by his acts, his utterinelgibility
to the Office Of President. We have done
this from week to week for the last
six or eight weeks, up to the present
time, as our readers we'll know. And
when we thought space enough had
been occupied in depicting the charac-
ter of so small specimen Of humanity
as Martin Van Buren,, and felt called
upon TO fill our paper with some i'm.
portant matter, and when we had
made our best bow to the editor for the
silent and almost death-like attention
he had shown US all through our delin-
cations of the political character Of his
favorite candidate for the Presidency;
when, in short, we thought we had
done, then the valiant editors of the
Gazette begin to bluster and flap their
wings, and speak great swelling words,
indicating that they intended to do
something dreadful sat the proper
time" Hear his crab-llke dit.y.
"Our neighbor had better attend to
his own position, which at the proper
time, we mean to make him Defend"
Now if that is not clear backing
out, we don't know what to call it.
Well, Messrs Editors, that's right,
choose your own time, and keep mum
until that time which will be
never-and that will be just like you.
The Gazette almost always takes this
course, when it gets cornered badly
1t always swells up, like turkey
cock, struts, looks big, utters some ter
rible threat of what it intends to do
and then sinks back into its usual in
significance.
If the Gazette imagines we Intend
to shift any Of the responsibility we
have recently assumed in any thing
said in the Hawk-Eye about Van Blu
rem and his acts, he deceives himself
We shall not only sustain that respon
sibility most cheerfully, but we are de
termined to reiterate what we have sait
from time to time, as occasion may re
quire. The Gazette processes to be /;
great stickler against throwing out insin
uations. Bah!

THE sEA.BoY's FARE WELL.

Wait, wait, We Winds! ill repeat
A parting signal TO the feet
Whose station is at home:
Then wait the sea-boy's simple prayer,
And let it oit be whispered there,
While in far cimes roam.
Z Farewell to FATHER reverend hulk
In spite OF metal, spite Of bulk,
= Soonmay his cable slip; t
Yet while the parting tear is moist,
The flag of gratitude | II hoist,
In duty to the ship.
Farewell to MOTHER 'frst-class' she.
Who launched me on lf,''s stormy sea,
And rigged me fore aud aft;
May Providence her timbers spare,
And keep her hull in good repair,
To tow the smaller craft.
Farewell to SISTER lovely yacht!
But whether she II be manned or not,
Icannot now foresee;
May some good ship tender prove,
Well found in stores of truth and love,
And take her under lee.
Farewell to GEORGE! the jolly-boat.
And all the little craft ailoat
In homes delightful bay:
When they arrive at sailing age,
May wisdom give the weather-guage,
And guide them OH their way.
Farewell to all on life's rude nam!
Perhaps we ne'er shall meet again,
Through stress of stormy weather;
But summoned by the Board above,
We II harbor in the port Of Love,
And all be moored together!

Sale of the Main Line.

|, seems to be forgotten, that in pursuance
Of an Act of the last Legislature, the qualified
voters of this State will be called upon 10 de-
eide, a. the approaching General Election,
whether the Main Line of our Public Works,
from Philadelphia 10 Pil,sburg, shall be sold or
not. The &C, requires that a separate ticket
shall be voted, headed Main Line" with the
words :" for the sale Of the main line" BY those
who are in favor of The Sale; and the words
"against the sale of the main line," by those who
are opposed TO selling, inscribed beneath.
The Whig party, We believe, en,eriains but
one opinion on this subject. They see The
Stale crippled with debt, which prostrales the
energies OF our people. with no prospect Of es-
cape bu, by selling our Public Works, and pro-
curing distribution of The proceeds of the pub
lie lands from The General Government. The
Whig. therefore 20 for sale Of the Main Line
The Loco Focos, as party, are opposed to
the SALE Their leaders know thai If the Pub
lie Works are sold, all their chances for plum
der will be gone; and they therefore endeavor
to deceive their confdng political friends, by
the cry Of Monopoly" &c. The Reading
Democratic Press, the leading Loco paper in
Old Berks, is on, strongly against The sale; and
none of their papers, that we have seen take
ground in favor of the sale. What will the
voters Of Monroe and Pike DO in The matter.
Will they continue TO be led by sci Of dema-
gogues, and have their Stale Debt increased
two millions year; or will they join with
party who wishes 10 ex,rica,e the State from
her present embarassments! We shall see.

has been said about this, amidst the strife and
turmoil of the Presidential canvass, that prob.
