The wicked and malignant principles oil
toryIsm, were never more stfikiDgy pourtray-
ed than in recent instance in the town Of
Providence, where, to DC sure, every Infamous
and traitcrous measure against the coustitu,-
cd authorities of our country, might naturally
be expected, when it is recol'cc,ed suho and
svhat compose the population Of that hot.b d
Of scdition and corruption. On Thursday last
the peaceable part Of that community were
disturbed by the ,oing OF bells, and the 6r-
ing OF minute guns---:he flags Of part of the
shipping and the different flag staff, were set
1T balf-mast, and the doors and shutters of
several stores and dram-shops were closed.
All this "mockery Of syoe" was al FIRST thought
to be occasioned by news Of the death of our
gracious sovereign, George III. but it was
soon asccrtained 10 proceed from another
cause, viz. our government mad resolved on
appealing to the last resort of injured nations,
tor redress OF those wrongs which had been
50 aasranlly and rci,eratedly committed upon
US by the cruelty and rapacity of Britain.
The news OF the Declaration OF War on the
par, of our country, reached Providence, OH
Monday last-but the Providence tory faction
had not yet received instructions from the
Boston junto, and the importan, event glided
ln,ety down the tide of time. News however
arriving from the "head quarters Of good trim
cihieS" that few worthless rene gado Eng
lishmen and tories, had shamelcssly, ana
in violation of every principle of honor and
love of country, traitoriously exhibited hos
tile opposition to government, than these
miserable satellites OF dspravcd faction fol-
lowed the neiarious example, in the manner
above alluded to. The Editor oil this paper,
with number of citizens of Newport, (fed,
eralists as we'll as Republican, were indigs
nant spectators of this abominabie aid glaring
outrage. There is point beyond which for
bcarance will not go-let these pampered
wretches look TO 1.-THE application of hem
pen collar and confscation of property, TO
some of the foremost of this internal faction
will he a Dire eadful example to- others, TO shun
he dangers attendant on these reasonable
propenslties.
Since penning the above, a correspondent
enquiries, where was Gov. JONES during the
disgraceiul and ridiculous scene above alluded
10 WAS he in Providence, and could he
sanction such conduct, or was he an alder am
abettor in the iniquitous transaction.
II toor, faint t-hearted wretch !
