PuRVEYOR'S OFFICE,

The present situation OF the i. States, i'm
pressiyciy suggests considcra,e anticipation
oI the most serious possible cxi6encies.
Though many articles Of supply for i,nmedi-
ate use are in our rublick and Iriva,e stores,
though many articles are continually :mport-
ed, though breaches OF the laws laGy otca-
sion some supplies IN peace and captures
may produce some In war, though the CON
s,ant operations of our established ,aanufac-
tories, afford more than we can want Of some
commodities. yet it appears beneficial and
necessary TO make an early and universal OPP
GRAFTON with respect TO the exhibition and ex-
animation of our local and general resources
and capacities.
1t is respectfully hoped ana trusted that it
will be found convenient and prove agreeable
to every gentleman in publick station to give
such direction TO enc copy of this paper, as
will ensure It's reception, by three or more
publick spirited and Intelligent citizens in
their respective States auil districts.
lis hoped, that those three or more pub
lick spirited and intelligent citizens, vii!
promptly take the proper and necessary
measutes TO communicate this paper to ev-
cry township, hundred, town, ward, or other
SmaiieSt section of our antics, cities and
boroughS, IN order To ensure ye1etal and
c1tcruai attention 10 the measure.
The gentlemen described and other pub
lick spirited and intelligent citizens in the
wards, townships and other smallest sections
OF the cities, boroughs and counties are res
pcc,iuIly invited 10 procure every master
manufactured aud all persons dealing ia raw
materials, to make an early and full commu.
nicauon by maib addressed TO this oihce,
showing, with cxactness, their respective re-
sidences, kinds Of goods manufactured, and
current prices, and the quantities and whole
amount, if they think proper. Two forms OF
such communication arc subjoined, for uni
iormi,y and explanation.
This operation may be easily made. The
Information, which may be obtained, when
Gges,ed by this Office, will place the rcsour-
ces and capacities of the county more fully
before the various branches of the govern
men,, SO as TO enable them to act rs the na-

FOR THE rHoDH-rsLAsp RrpvnlrcAs,


HAVE read, with some degree Of sur
prize, the letters Of WMlam Jeses and .vieho-
las Brovvn, published in the RHoDE-lsLAYD
REPUBLICAN,, OF December lllh, 1871.
With these gentlemen have no personal ac-
Guaintance, but have heard their education
much commended by certain characters of
their political parry. However small my re-
lance oil the Judgment OF those who were
not very celebrated tor intellectual! acumcn,
| bad supposed Jones and Brown TO possess
common share of Information. But On
reading these letters, quickly perceived the
errour Of the opinion | had piemo,ureiy
forUed. Such wrctched compositions hard
ly ever appeared before in print. The fed
eralists proudly boast OF having all the learn
ing and abilities on their side. Here are fine
specimens in proof of their yaunling asser-
tons,
OF knowledge OF or,hography, an i'm
por,ant requisite for ,iansac,ing any kind of
business, when there is an occasion for writ
ing, these gentlemen are wholly destitute.
Take a sample of Jones' spelling. He writes
iaiorat for Immoral dcce,nneat fo.. discern
nent !; amis for omiss is for his r0tfine
for rahine disuade for dissuadp !; mill for
pnG hersuid for fursueG /; renaSneSs Tor re-
.
mocradek RESPECTFUL for re8hecyM sc.
Now, gentle reader, view q specimen of
Browns abilities in tls,s branch OF grammar.
He writes thrill for .lI'N ; ahort ior fart;
./tdcrats for .tcderefSts .4smaH for n small;
NrShebiards lor fIr. Shchfc,d'S /; deterd jor
deferred Wcduc8dy for Ncdacsday; cAosing
Tor choosing /; sc. She authorizations are
unparalleled beyond EXPIRE ssion.
i he placing Of the capitals and points, in
each OF these productions. IS ridiculous in
the highest degtee. 1t would disgrace a
common sthool-hoy. Nothing Can be found
in lien that has much claim TO the title &of
Engii>h. They resemble, in some measure,
tia; lingo vu!.,ar,y called h2g-lain, though
not quite SO intclligiblc. Mr.. Mein mus,
consider himself highly honoured by such
singular epis,les, and II he, IN truth, acknowi-
edges that he fairly understands them, bis
fame must be great indeed.
Jones is Govcrnour OF Rhode Island. Good
Col ! I!itcra,eness seated in the gubernato-
rial chair Broyyn is first Senator! Stupid:-
iiy perchcd upon the seat Of legislation !.
But they are federal choices, aud, there fore,
not subject Of wonder. The placing of
them in such conspicuous stations, was the
effect CT federal bribery, talskoud and cor
iup;oo. If the British cause, in this State,
can afford no characters more eminent for in
formation than these, it is high time that it
was abandoned oy every honest and well dis
posed citizen. We trust, however, that
learning, talents and integrity will, ct the
next election, triumph over ignorance, folly
and dsplci,y. EDGAR.

declaring it if furnished by England is
common to the two great belligerents.
Repeatedly has France in her solemn q
official declaration explicitly stated that
he, DEGREES shall continue &ntil England
shallrelinquishr rights sanctioned by long
usage and the universal consent ofnabons.
If we are prepared to declare war a
ga;nst Britain, because we believe that
should France cease to violate our neutral
rights, she will still require us to assert
the privilege Of trading to the continent
of Europe in her manufactures after they
become our property, have we not the
same cause for declaring war against
France, when she unequiyocalIy ayows the
determination, to continue her DEGREES IN
til the neutral flag shall be allowed to CO.
YER in perfect security the whole COM
merce of beliigerent.
Your memorialists have presented but
faint picture ofthe aggressionsofFrance;
they deem it sufficient to state that those
aggressions, III their humble apprehen.
sions, greatly transcend both in character
and amount the offences Of Britain.
However just therefore may be the ir-
ritation created against the latter, causes
ef still greater irritation, have been far
nished by the former. Your memorial
lists therefore, as real Americans, loving
their own country, and feeling no undue
prediction for any foreign power, are
extremely unwilling to be supposed to re-
quire from their government deciarati-
ON Of war against the least offending belli-
gerent.
In the great question about to be decid-
ed by your honorable body, still other
considerations appear to your memori2-
lists to be worthy OF attention. That
commerce, which the Orders Of the British
Council leave untouched, is OF vital I'M
portance to the United States; and III the
event of war with Britain, will be a!an-
doned to the mercy of her cruisers, ifnot
absolutely prohibited by ourselves. The
commerce to France and her dependen~
cies, if unmo!ested by Britain, could
scarcely exist under the burden which op-
press it, aud encounters in the port Of des-
tination, hazards not less terrible than
those that assaii it on the high seas.
To your memorialists the character of
the beiIigerent with whom we are about
to cooperate, and the consequences even
of victory, are subjects Of deep and aw
full reflection.
Let the ally Of France be named who
is not her slave; let the degree Of sub
mission be marked with which she will
be cOntent.-Let the line be drawn be-
tween French usurpation and national in
dependence, which she will not pass. If
this cannot be done, we tremble for our
country, when we perceive the G. States
about to engage this great republic on the
side of military tyrant, who wages war
for the purpose Of spreading chains and
despotism over the civilized world.
Your memoriaiists submit, as becomes
good citizens, to the decision Of their 60
yernment; and as in duty bound, will
ever pray, &c.

at the Hygeian Fountain, for the sigma
lures Of all those who may approve Of it.
