The Rhode-Island Republican — Newport, R.I., 1810-05-09 00:00:00, page 3

We have appropriated a large portion of our pa
per to the publication of the “ Review of Werks of
“‘.r JAmes” . ‘Uhose papers were originally publish
' e in the Bosson Patriot, in the early part of last year
1t will be seen by our readers, that the charges,so of
ten laid at the door of Federalism, that the juate,
aias federal party, are supporters of monarchy, and
haters of American ‘}ibr.ny, are not without founda
tion. The Workd of Fisher Ames, were compiled
7 by a number of his friends ; and published in Boston
at a moment when it was thought the ch-ﬂn{ud
" States were ripe for revolt—These friends of Ames,
we Enow are a part of the Ussex junto—some of them
(the compilers) we know are monarchists ; and would
willingd .pml. part of their large fortungs, in the
uubh-{.eu of such an ercellent .é'swemmt. ‘We
do not say this from hearsay y i we knwow the
fa-ts—we can point out the characters; and the time
is no. far distant, we hope, when traitors, under the
gab of patriotism, will be expostd, in all their mfa
my, 10 the frowies of an indiguant people.

NEW.YORK FLBCTION.
The triumph of Republicanism in New-York state
is complete—thits the hépe of the faction in that
quarter is crushed also. Gov. Toxexins will be re
elected by a majority upwards of 5000 votes—the
Senate is almost undnimously Republican—and it is
calcsatcd there will be a majority of at least. 20 in
the Bouse of Representatives. Thus much for the
cause of patriotism,
On Saturday next, being the” Anuniversary
of the Tammany Society, or Columbian Or
der, the Brct'gers will ussemble at the Wig
wam, in the Representatives’ Chamber of the
Stute-House, at 10 o’clock A. M. when a pro
cession will be formed, to proceeed from the
State-House, down the parade, up Thames
street, up Marlboro'street, 10 the Methodist
Chappel. The Long Tulk will be delivered
hy Naruanien Hazarp, s Appropriate
musick wiii be performed- by the Singers of
e Methodist Society. Citizens and Strang
s whoo may wish, to join in the procession
wilPussemble on the lower floor of the State
tlonse. *he Meeting House will be open
‘or the ladies, at an early hour, and- the wall
;ows and galleries will be appropriated for
eir accommodation. :
We have received a communication on the subject
(«nd we beligge it true without being sworn to) that
the federaists themseives instigated this riot. 1L is
true a number of Loys asscinbled opposite to Mr
Murtlings house, but had they beeh Jeft to themeselves
we are convinced they mwended no harm, but it ap
pears that after they depated from Mr. Martlings,
they assenitled before Rechanick Hall,“and then a
number of federil men joined the mob of boys, and
proceeding ¢own the town, commiticd the outrages
complained of. Itis likewise asserted that a numﬁcr
of feds were knocked down by these unruly boys,
They might us well asscrt, that the following outrage
which took place atthe late mecting of the fegeralisis
of the fourth ward, at Liarmony Heli, was pel petrated
by these unruly boys.
A federalistinvited his Republican fiiend to go
with Lim to the above place 10 attend o federal meet
ing. The Republican aficr expressing sone reluc
tance and observing that his wppesrance might not Le
agreesble : and upon being assusd thit it would
nuke no difference, agreed to accompuny him -
Sometime after he had entered the rooimn, he was re
cognized by a federnlist, und charged with being a
5Py, he denied the allegatipn, and told his political
apponent the manner in which be wus introduced to
the meeting. This however not satisfying the fed,he
stripped ol? his cost to fight, upon which the Repub
lican quitted the room, went out dooi's, and made off.
The federalist followed shortly after, and in his furi.
ous zeal, mistuking by his dress, a poor brother fed
for his political encmyy up Aot and knocked him heels
over head—the poor fellow afrer ceying for quarters,
enquired the rcascns for such barbarous trestment,
olm rving thut he was as good a federalist as himse!f;
to which the other replicd, ** well, d—ixt you, why dio
you not teli me so before i kuucked you dowan.
We shy 1) now State another circumstunce, wherein
the i deraists committesl another gross mist. ke, wc
compunied by acts of viglenge and outrage at which
the viilizns, if they hiad any sense of honour or shame
remmnin{; sho'd blush und be silent,
© A namberof feds, onthe evening above mentioned
being weil drenchetl with brandy, agreed to siagzger
dowefto Johin B. Coles, to congratulate him on the suc
cess of the federai ticket, accordi‘ng:y a gang of üborw
forty or fifty of the worst looking fellows that ever
evés beheld, accompanied with musick, set out:on
the expedition, but mistaken Stephen Jumels house
for John B. Coles were proceeding.to serrenade him,
Wirg «f erwards informed of the error by a few seber
ones, who shortly after joined them. These fellows
with tlie most blasphemous imprecations, proceeded
to stone the house and did actually break a number of
rs of glass. But we are happy to learn that nei
y man, woman, or cl:ild, was either killed, wound
ed, or scai’d todeath on the occasion.—SBo wmuch

" Providence, Moy 18 1810.
-On &‘»lld&{ weming last, bﬁtccn the hows of 1
and 120’clock, the following melancholy angd tragick
facts occured in this town., A person by the name of
David Niles, master of a schooner that lately arrived
in this port, from New-Orleans, who declares himself
to be a native of ’llelubn. (Con.) committed a miost
Outrageous assarlt upon two respectable widow wo
men, of this town, by the names of Naxey Trayer
and MARY WA Ls# ~—He wentinto the house in which
these two women resided, and after expressing some
apprehiensi ns of being murdered, or poisume(f. with
out any kind of provoeation, attacked Mrs. Thayer
Wwith and andiron, with which he cut, mangled und
bruised her head in a most shocking manuner, and
when Mrs. Walsh, alarmed by the cries of Mrs,
Thayer, came from an adjoining room to her assis
tunee, he attacked her with the same.wheapon so vi
olently, that he horribly fracturcd her skull, ard ace
tually beat out a part of her brains. Afier perpetra
ting this horrible vutchery, and placing the wonlen
upon beds in Separvte apartments, he deliberately
walked into the street, and requested the first person
he met to go with him into thc“musc, where he found
the two unhappy women weltering in their blood. An
alarm was immicdiately given, and Capt. Niles taken
and commitied to prison, there to await his trial,
which will tuke place in September next. MHe evin
ced strong symptoms of mental derangement both
before ani ufter perpetrating the horrid deed. There
is some probability of the Fecovery of Mrs Thayer—
but of Mis Walsh there can be no hope.
A gentleman just arrived from the upper [:ar:}
of the state has communicated to us in suf
stance, the following distressing information
On Wednesday the 28th ult the citizens
of Laurens county, were awakened, a little
before sun-iise, with an incessuntflood of rain
« violent wind, and a frequent falling of trees.
In about twenty minutes the alarm became
weneral, and the destruction of every object
wround scemed tobe threatened, by one ol"the’
most violent tornadoes, perhaps ever witnes
sed in Georgia. So gieat has been its ravi
kes, that whole forests have been laid pros
(rate, and some of the ﬁnegst.high lund in this
state rendered an heap of ruins. Muny of
the best plantations have hétorse unfit for im
mediate culgvation ; houses, fences and stock
have been swept awhy or destroyed ; and the
distress ol the plauters, (many of whom were
new scttlers, and had just bewran to snrmount
their difficulties) is indescribable. Some of
them hive lost their all, koving neither a
horse to plongh, nor a cow to milk.
