~ “T saw in the last Mercury a piete contain
ing high eAcomiums on the honour and integri
ty ol Elisha R.Potter’s priyate character ; one
) or two instances of which I shall mention.
“ Atthe time of the late Gov. Porter’s de
cease, his widow being under great anxiety
respecting her future situation, expecting to
weet with much difficulty in the settlement
of such a perplexed and insolvent estate, Mr,
Lorter being present, and seeing her in such
- great difliculty, voluntarily promised her, in
the prescnce of one or two men of respecta
bility, that he would be her assured friend in
any way that he vas capable, and lend her all
the serviee that was in his power ; but, to her
sad disappoik iment, the first tim: she called
. “upon kim for asssistance he was engaged a
gaoinst Rer ae an Attorney for Mr. Kinyon, to
throw her out of the right of dower ; and kepit
ker in the law for several years ! This is one
great trait of his honest integrity.
“ This samc gentleran has pablickly de
clared that he has given onc Aundred dollars
yearl'y of the town of Sourk.Kingstown’s mo
vey for a few years past to a certain snan, to
secure his vote. This, Sir, 1s another act of
his noble generosity ! But what could induce
bim to o publick a declaration of it, I am at
a io%s to discover. [ will recite the manner
in which he gave it awuy ; it was to ene of
the officers chosen to keep the poor of said
town. This candidate declared in open town
meetiag that he would not keep them for any
Jcss than he had kept them for, and there
weve several who offered to keep them as
well for one hundred dolars less—~so it will
be easily conceived how he gave the money
to this man ; that is, by his ainaziog influence
over thé majority of that town he induced
them to choose this raan to keep their poor,
and to give him the oiie hundred dollars more
than what others had offered to keep them
for. The occasion of his makine it publick
was to injure the man who rece?ved it, who
has sioce moved out of said town, and has
voted agdinst sald Potter. Ido certalaly be
licve that this officer is too honest to have ac
cepted the office under such base principles ;
but that I have no doubt but that Mr. Porrer
advocated the sum for the purpese of secur
ing his vole, and [ assure you that the above
apd foregoing can be proved by tiue best of
evidence.”
mﬂn man presented you, Freemen
of Rhode-Island, by the immaculate leading
federalists, for one of your Representatives
to Coagreee! ! . X -
This is also one of Wasnixoron’s disci
files I Bat though his sins be as scarlet, yet
being waslied in th: fountain of federalism,
he shall becowne white as wopl. .
This is the man, Sir, whom we are called
" apon to elect to represent us in Congress,and
that too at a time when the independence of
our country is at stake. He is oppased to
Narnasrer Hazarp. 1 shou'd justly be
suspected of undue partiality weve I to utter
what my mind dictates of this Gentleman,
who is truly the man of the people. They
have listened to him defending their rights,
and supportin%‘thc'u" interests with his vigor
ous talents. hey are the witnesses, that in
application te publick business=-in zeal for
the liberty of his country, he is excelled by
none, His education, his experience, and his
intimate knowledge of the feclings and inter
ests of the pecople of this State, fit him to
represent those feelings and those interests.
The times demand such abilities in the Re
presentative Hall of the nation ; and by his
¢lection we shall once more be raised to that
vank: which we are justly entitled to in the
Union; #s an ancicnt and respectable, theugh

Yet this man calls himsclf the farmer's
Srifhad ! ~
Review the whole of his political life, Sir,
and you will find the same gross absurdities
—~the same shameless abandonment of every
thing which does a state or a nation honous.
He is opposed to free schools ; he is opposed
to a militia ; he is opposed to a draft or de
tachment of miliga ; he is opposed even to
cur lictle army—in short he is opposed to ev
ery thing liberal, manly, or useful. If he
were to have his way, civil socicty, weuld de
generate to barbarism-the inventions, the
arts, and the accumulated wisdom of ages
would exist in vain. Intrigue working upon
ignorancey, would rule ; and playing off the
interests of different bodies of men aguinst
each ather, would make them all the dupes
of suceessful cunning. Is this funcy ? or
bas it in some degree been realized in this
State by the man before us, and by other po
litical impos&u i
But it is said that Ae can speak well. His
voice has becn heard in the hall of that Con
gress, which has listened to a Madison, an
Amesy a Marshall, a Gerry anc a Giles. His
Speeches have been corrected and published ;
u?d I am compelled to blush for the honour
ol my native State—-a State, defended by.a
Gueexe in the field of battle ; distinguished
by the political wisdom of a Wanp and a
Horxixs, and by the eloquence of a Varyux,
that ‘any of her citizens should pride them
selves upon the Speeclies of Potter. Purity
of style, grammar, or correct reasoning, it
would be idie to look for from one who des
pises all those things, but we might at least
expect to find that good sense and strength of
mind for which Le is so cried up. But even
for these we search in vain ; and discover in
their stead, the shallowest sophistries, and
the poorest, shuffling evasions that ever
came from the mouth of a caucus or tavern
orator., .
- G LOOK AT THIS §
Extrects of a letter from Washingtun Coun
ty, to a Gentleman in this town. ,
(Continued from our last.)
To resume the topick we closed in with in
our lust pu ', namely, the title of the pre
sent administration w your confidence and
support. We certainly can boust of no men,
who better understand the rights and inter
ests of our country, or who are more assidu
ously devoted to the cause of securing the
one and promoticeg the other. . They have
steadily and ably pursued the true course of
American policy. It is easy to raise specious
objections against any system of measures ;
and the federal fuction have been very indus
trious at this work ; but with all their iz:genu
ity, their vbjections will hardly merit the ep
ithet of specious. They all are ¢ither un
founded in fact, or untenable in principle. It
would be easy to take them up, oune by one,
and to verify this statemcnt ; but our limits
will not permit it. What greatly enhunces
the merit of the present adminisiration is the
pecuiiar difficulties they have bad, and still
have to engounter. , These have resulied
from the unpatrrelled state of the European
world ; and the desperate struggles of a do
mestick faction to regain the power they had
lost. But they showed themselves superiouf
to all difficulties, and, under their guidance,
the state bas kept a safe and prosperous
course. ,

T 0 THE REPUBLICANS OF THE
STAIE OF RHODE-ISLAND.
These macn are your Republican friends
and leaders—they are your patriotick rulers—
they ure your your couptry’s ablest and best
fricnds : they have an arduous part to per
form, and they require all the aid and sup
port you cun give themi. The most effectual
aid and support you can give, is in sending to
Congress Representatives who will harmo
nize with the Government in sentiment and
views—who will cc-operate with them in ad
vancing the publick good, and in building
ourempire. Such men are the Republican
Candidates, Mesyrs. Hazano and Browx.
They will give strength to that cause, «nd
fucilitate its triumph over oppasition —=Ad
ministration will coufide in them, and rely
upon’ them. Both of these gentlemen are
respectable for talents ; apd one of them .is
very distinguished. He, if elected, will
make a shiuing figure in Cofgress, und re
flect "lustre upon his stste. -~ 7
It is not necessary to take a comparative
view of the federal Candidutes-~it is enoygh
that they are not Republicans——that they are
adverse to. you=—to your cause—to your
government—~to the principles on which it is
and ought to be administered j—'nd that
their talents, whatever they may be, will be
exerted to put you down ; and, upen the ru
ins of your party to exalt their own, It would
be an act of party-suicide to elect them ; and
to suffer them to be elecred when you can
prevent it, is nearly as had. It would be fur
nishing your enemy with a sword, to plunge
it to your heart, -
A'O— REPUBL!CANS ! 3
You will not act a part so pernicious
to yourselves !=—vou will ronse, toa man, and

bountiful without ostentation. Her sou! ever melted
at distress, and her hand was ever open to relieve

Possessing a sound judgment and purity of taste,
she early in. life adopted the . Christian faith s tho
