A Poets Prophecy.

The late Samuel Woodwork seems to hav,
oresecn the visit of Cathar,ne HAYS 10 this coua
~ when he wrote the following lines:
"Hlhernia's tears forever flow,
Her harp in silence slumaers;
Her bards the patriot song toreso.
Nor dare TO breathe It's numbers,
No more they bid the swelling tone
In Freedoms cause awaken;
Those happy days of bliss are fown,
And Erln weeps forsaken.
Bat though her sons IN exile roam,
They sleep on Freedoms pillow;
And Er,n's daughters find home
Beyond the Western hillow.
There shall they breathe the glowing strain
To tov's estate numbers:
There Erin's harp shall wake again
In rapture from its slumhers"

ratnst Dr. kinkle aud his mission to this country.
The causes for opposition are to he found in the
following reasons assigned by ;he editor of that

J. Mr. Kinkle Is the reason of the split among
The German refugees in London and he has like
wise occosoned aiscord among them in the Unit
ell States.
2. He anil his followers form distinct sci.
among or beside the London Emigration Society,
for particular purposes.
3. He kept his Journey TO America a secret, not
only to the Revolutionary Committee at London,
hnt likewise to the Emigration Scciety Of that
city.
i. His journey did not aim for nninn OF the
emirrants but for the collection Of money and
the delivery of such of his followers, So as to ac-
onirc for himself preponderance in the councils
Of the Revolutionary Committee.
We of conrse. know nothing Of the merits ct

and from a countrvman Of DR. kinkle's, we feel
