PROSPECTUS
OF THE
RuCDE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.

AT this morncntous crisis, when foreign
and domestick ioes are threatening annihila-
tion to our moral, civil, and political exist
ence when the great pillars of natural and
poltlck law are swept away by the torrent OF
modern usurpation, and MIGHT is made a
substitute for RIGHT and, when foreign
edicts under the specious pretexts OF mutual
retaliation are prostrating our neutral rights,
and forcing us to the alternatives of war, or
slayish submission-the friends of our Re-
publican Government and Institutions,
throughout the Union, are loudly called upon
10 support with their fortunes, influence, and
even lives, if necessary, the principles for
which their fathers bed, and which have been,
thus far, transmitted unsulied to their pos
tcrity.
One great means towards TIE accomplish
ment OF this all important object, is the gen
eral diffusion of correct political information,
rendered indeed indispensaby necessary, by
the alarming and fatal height already attained
by the opposition prints, which have SO long
advocated the cause Of foreign nation against
our country, that they have actually quilted
American ground. Their conductors, in q
systcmatick abuse of the government of this
country, appear to have lost sight of the ORR
ginl ground of opposition, and to be as it
were, imperceptibly denationalized. 1t is
against the arts and sophistry of this faction,
which nowsNalts abroad at noon day, that the
energy Sc patriotism of real Americans should
be exerted and in resisting which, the
Rhode-IelGnd RehubHcan will firmly adhere
to the strict maXims of political justice. 1t
will never descend TO low and virulent abuse,
or personal invcctive ; but steady in its course,
it will support with dignity. as far as its infu-
cnce extends, the independence and Liberty
of our country Actuated by zeal which
knows 90 bounds but justice, and governed by
principles which have no end but the publick
welfare, It's editors will rest their claims oil
continued support upon the fidelity with waich
they shall cherish these principles.

This day will form bright aera on the
page Of history. Never will 1t be forgotten as
long as liberty is dear to man, that il was OH
this day that THOMAS JEFFERSON re-
tired from the supreme magistrscy amidst
the blessing and regrets of millions. It ought
to be forever remembered that this step was
the dictate, not of necessity, but choice, and
that it manifests the most iIlustrious homage
which the mind of man can pay to principle.
That man must be great whom the spontsne-
oIis will of millions calls to the supreme
power but now much greater is he, who, ic

larity, and with mind unclouded or weaken.

In our last paper was remark that
it was rare indeed that We were called
upon to record 80 distressing an occur
renee as we had then to make public /:
Since that time, how yer, a similar
event has made it our EleianchoIy duty

OF affection in the family OF Jonathan
Bull Esq, of this city, the sudden
dsath OF three amiabie daughters has
spread gloom, the sorrows of which,
it IS our happiness that few have the
misfortune to experience. In the af-
ternoon, on MONDAY oflast week, Miss
Nancy Bull was seized with the pre-
vaiiing fever--bsfore noon on Tuesday
she was corps-aged 28 years -
Hiss Hannah Bull was seiz d ON Tues.
day and died on Wednesday, lust as
her deceased sister was going to the
g ave--aged 80 years - Miss Rebec.
ca Bull was seized ON "Wednesday and
died the same night, and on Thursday
was buried IN the same grave with her
last deceased sister-aged % years.

we had hopes that our distressing task
was at an end--but alas, how yam are

PHILADELPHIA. March ~.

On Friday last, a report on the case
|of Gideon Olmstead, drawn up by Mr.
Charles Smith, was read in the House
tof Representatives of this state, and
made the order for Thursday (yester.
day.) The following resolutions were
4ttached to II.
Resolved, by the senate and House
OF Representatives, of the common
wealth OF Pennsylvania, &c. That as
member of the federal union, the le-
gislstorc of Pennsylvania acknow-
lodges the supremacy, and will cheer
fully submit TO the authority, of the
general government, as far as the au
thority is delegIted by the CONSTITUTE
on OF the Uaited States. But. whilst
they yield to this authority, when ex-
ercised within constitutional limits
the trust they will not be considered
as acting hostile to the general 20
vernment, when as guardians of the
tate rights, they cannot permit an in
fringenent OF those rights by an un-
constitutional exercise Of power in the
United States courts.
Resolved, That, in government like
that OF the u lited States, where there
are powers granted to the general
government, and rights reserved TO tbs
.tates, 1t is impossible for the imper
isetion OF language, so to define the Ii
mlts ct each, that difficulties should
not sometimes arise, from a collision
1f powers and il is to be lamented,
That no provision is made in the con
'tiiution, for determining disputes be-
