NUISANCE ON THE BROOKLYN FERRY

SIR There is nuisance on these boats which ought
to be tolerated no longer. i allude to the common
practice of sweeping busting, and hopping the floors
of the cabins after the boats have commenced their
daily trips and crowded with passengers.
This has been the practice of the Company for sev
ers years past and it is time the matter brought
TO the notice of the Directors if they do not already
know it.
have repeatedly crossed these ferries as late as ii
OF IL O'Clock in the morning when have found the
woman in charge performing these duties, and have
actually seen her request ladies change their seats
that she might prosecute her work. The consequence
is that ladies' and children say nothing of gentle
men, are daily obliged to sit with their feet on damp
floor while crossing.
If the public is to be taxed extra for the superior
accommodations furnished BY the Company, II is no
more than just that the boats should be properly cleaned
before commencing their trips. -.....,u,.

THE REV. Mr.. HATFIELD's SPEECH

To he Editor Of TAe ~ A. Tribune
SIR: | regret that in your report of the County
meeting held at Brooklyn Thursday evening you
should have omitted to publish even sketch of the
address of the Rev. Mr.. Hatfield, delivered that
occasion.
/ regret this for two reasons:
First-Because the speech itself admirable
a one. The reverend gentlemans talk was straight
forward. pointed, manly and Christian; and | am
sure judging from the applause il elected that it must
have found response in the conscience and judgment
of every person present. Mr. Hatfield considers the
state of things in this country fearfuly dark, but
trusts in an Oyerrulng God. His belief is that that
which American people North should do HOo, in their
present position. Though it should have been done
years ago and that II not is our great error 10 10
plant themselves firmly and immovaby, though the
heavens should fall, upon the ground that Slavery
shall not under any circumstances eIeHd GdcdHce one
ineh further. And if the Saratoga Convention shall
serve to unite the minds Of the people of this State,
bringing them, in hearty concentration OF effort to
lust this point il will prove benefit and blessing;
but if it be made the occasion for political manage
ment and machnatiOn, it will turn out miserable
abortion.
Second. regret that you did not publish the speech
simply because it was the speech OF clergyman. 1
think il high time that ministers of the Gospel should
begin to open their eyes to the fact that they will be
compelled by force of circumstances 10 MAKE them
selves clearly understood this sub Of Slavery.
As well might you undertake ~ force upon an intel
ligent and thinking mind the worst dOgmas of POpery
as TO satisfy il that the accursed system OF human
Slavery can in any way be sanctioned encouraged
by the pure and benevolent religion OF Jesus Christ
And some of our theological ID. D. will perhaps find
this out after a while-it may be to their sorrow.
The Rev. Mr. Hatfield has shown himself 10 be. in
nv humble opinion, noble specimen of man, and an
honor to bis profession; and We have, Thank God (!
some other such as he, in our City of Churches
