vessels in traversing between those places sail quar-
crng the prevailing N. and S. swell Of the Lake,
which in steam navigation is always deemed safe.
But the most material fact the Colonel forgot to
mention, which is, that the average time OF open navi-
CATION for vessels is nearly two months more from Bur-
lingon TO Port Kent, than from Burlington to Platts
burgh, making the sixth part OF year, and at
that ALSO after the northern and western Canas
closed by ice against the great trade OF the west
Again, the expense OF erecting harbor and dock at
Sawyers Bay, (Which in truth will not hold over two
canal boats and soop) and Railroad from there to
Burlington, would doubtless four times the amount
of Railroad from Pittsburgh to Port Kent besides
adding third to the distance with the very serious
objection to us, of destroying place. and removing
the business to a now unknown and secluded spot
We have no intention, most kind and ancient friend,
of conceivng bearing, and rearing child to scratch
out own eyes or Of expanding our money to build
road that will divert the great carrying trade OF the
west, miles to the of us. 1t is not generous
Colonel to request Burlington to commi, act so
suicidal
Under all these considerations seriously advise
our Pittsburgh neghbors to let the railroad continue
OH from their place to Port Kent without opposition
and their place possesses all the advantages they as
sumo, they, of course will enjoy the principal business
in preference the three other harbors that will be ac
commodatcd by the Champlain and Ogdensburgl
Railroad.
Therefore in closing our friendly talk, excuse us fol
reminding them of the old fable which teaches that il
grasping for too much, we often lose the whole.

We have noticed the course of this Anti-Sa-
very paper since its establishment at Washing
ton, with interest and anxiety. We hoped it
would place itself on what we believe 10 be the
true Northern Anti-Slavery ground, and thus
become an efficient and valuable agent in over
and the age. But we confess Our fears were
quite as strong as our hopes. We feared it
would identify itself with that particular class
of anti-slavery, who, planting themselves
upon the simple and abstract postulate that all
men are created free and equal" and needing
none of the counsels of wisdom and moderation,
stand ready to make war upon Slavery in other
states and under other and independent jurisdic-
tons, without regard TO circumstances or conse-
quences, and caring nothing
Though Rome in Tiber melt, and the wide arch
OF the ranged empire fall"
We are happy to state, however, that with this
class of Reformers the Era appears to have no
affinity nor fellowship. 1t aims higher, and
with steadier purpose to accomplish good. II

A CALL FOR IRELAND.

Wake sons OF Erin, hear ye not
A wall hat DER the ocean rolls;
A cry OF anguish qulvering deep,
Wrung, drop by drop, from bleeding soul !
That cry comes from your father land,
The grcenest Isle that gems the sea,
Where famine bows the strong man down
Powerless as feeble infancy.
Come to the rescue, brothers come,
On kindred hearts we loudly CALI
They die, they tamlsh, even now
Pleading Tor bread they fall, they fall
And We who own kindred tie
With all the Sons OF want and woe,
In vain to you they shall n OF cry,
Nor tears like rain drops vainly flow,
Come, We that love the sons ofsong,
See where the harp OF Erin lies,
Swept by the blast It's chords have burst,
In thrilling means its music dies.
Speed TO the rescue, ere too late
All, all, who love Old Ireland STILL
In blessings, We shall blessed be -
Then save the hapless Emerald Isle.

Deal Gently.

We have received for publication resolution
adopted by the Rechabte Society in Burlington,
expelling one of their members for a violation Of
his pledge. There are two principal reasons
why we must decline to publish this and all
similar resolutions. In tie first place, while it
is of course no part of our business TO dictate to
the society the discipline proper to be pursued
with an erring brother, we are firmly convinced
that the opprobrous publication of his name to
the world is precisely the morsi way to reclaim
him or any body else. Gentleness and forbear.
ance win while harshncss and intolerance repel
us all. In the second place,we do not think that
a resolution adopted by secret society justi6es
us in dragging before the public the name of
one Of our citizens, an old man of unobtrusve
department g. certainly so far as ne know any
thing OF him, far, very far, more deserving the
kindness and sympathy than the denunciaton
of his ighbors.
For these reasons we cannot consent to pub
fish the resolution handed to us, in the Free
Press We think the proceeding, to say the
least, harsh, unkind and nexpedient to the last
degree. And our friends the Rechabites, who
nave Gone and are doing much good in society,
will pardon us for reminding them, in this con-
! necton that we are enoined by that unerrng
Wisdom from whose Oracles they have drawn
their name, to ''torgire the shortcomings of
our brother man, not I" seven times, but ''sEvEx-
TY TINES SEVEN" If we were to counsel those
who are doubtless much better qualified to give
good advice TO us, we would venture to say -
| Strive with the wandcrcr from the better path,
Bearing thy message rceky, not in wrath
| Weep ior the trail who err, the weak who fall,
Have thine own faith, but hope and pray for all
