The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1822-05-08

1t is truly ridiculous that the editor OF
the Providence American should croak
SO mournluiiy about the choice of Speak.
er at the late election. Prithee, Mr..
Goddard, inform us when a federal
House Of Representatives chose Re-
publican Speaker-nay, when and where
has II been known, lha: The iederalists,
when in power, ever suffered Repubh.
Can to enjoy Offices of honor or profit.
Mmy fedrralists, however, are retained in
oiice by the Republican party. Really
the assurance of this editor is equalled
only by his ingratitude.

upon ,he negotiation OF NJ. de Tstichef at
Vienna. This dip!oma;ist is entrusted with
the particular confidence of the Emperor Al
