Rhode Island Conrention,

A Convention is in session at Newport for
forming constitution for the State of Rhode
Island. The several Committees have report
ed and the reports have been fully discussed.
Some difficulties have arisen in fixing the ba-
Sis oil representation, the southern part of the
State having had, heretofore, an undue pro-
portion which they seem unwilling to yield.
It's hoped, however, that some compromise
may be effected which will give satisfaction.

the people or the legislature. The state
ment* in late Telegraph, of the rela-

error in the division, and hdt is in IA

is a fast friend of Mr.. Adams, as is almost
every Republican in that county. Let
the friends of Mr.. Adams in the different

confidence, for we have the fullest as
surance that she will not disappoint
their hopes"
A statement made by the Editor of the

Assembly, were given, giving Mr.. Adams a
majority Of 30 or 40 over all other candidates.

PENNSYLVANIA.

The Philadelphia Democratic Press,
one of Mr.. Crawford's papers, asserts,
that measures are already on foot, " to
procure the vote of Pennsylvania for
John Quincy Adams, as President, and
Andrew jackson as Vice President"
This is certainly very agreeable news,
and we hope the work will go on in good
earnest TO the full accomplishment of
the great and good object. We have
always been astonislted that the friends
of Mr.. Adams should have been so inert
in this republican state, the more so, as
among the moral, religious, unobtru-
sive and Industrious portion Of the yeo-
manFy Of Pennsylvania, he has always
had many ardent and strong friends.
Whether they win be successful in CIV
ing the electoral vote Of the State to
him remains to be seen. The opposi-
ton TO him is unnatural and unjust, and
cannot last. The "men of principle
according 10 interest" every where
will ultimately be scattered as chaif be-
fore the wind and the people will mite
and rally around him who has served
them for 80 years without reproach.

an army with banners. "-Bah. Patriot.

African Colonization Scheme, we predict

at least, from what we can learn, a more
despotic government than that of Hayti.--

South Carolina. An interesting and impor-
t1nt question has arisen between the United
States and Great Britain on the one side, and
South Carolina on the other. Before we enter
more fully into the subject it will be necessary to
call the attention of the reader to the late con-
templated Instruction (about two years since)
of the blacks in Charleston having for its object
the massacre of the white, and the enfranchise-
nent of the slave population. The plot, howe
yer, was fortunately discovered in time to save
the inhabitants from the horrors of servie war,
and TO rescue their wives, daughters, and proper
~ from the meditated destruction. Several of
the ring-leaders Of the diabolical conspiracy
were executed, and some transported beyond
the confines OF the United States. Determined
to profit by their providential escape, the citizens
of Charleston established an armed patrol 10
guard against similar combinations. The more
ciTectualy to protect themselves, and having
reason to suspect the slave population were en-
rouraged by free blacks who frequented the
state principally, it seems, as mariners,) the c-
gislature passed law, Of which the following is
