Kent he is certain ofrespec,able mgjor;ues,
ard in the county of Providence the old op-
position to Dir. p. is either completely neu-
tralzed, or viii contribute TO his support.
There can be but one opinion among the
Freemen of Newport on a question Of thu

ifest on this occasion their accustomed en-
ergy and union by afiording a prompt and
liberal support TO their deserving towns

DIARIES.-To those Of our subscribers
who wish to form a complete series of me-
neurological registers for the year, we need
to make no apology for placing together,
in our present number, the three monthly
diaries which were wanting. But we have
endeevored by our researches to provide
an equivalent for the space they occupy;
and we hope that those who take no inter
est in them, win find enolgh to excuse us,
in the variety and value of the matter
which we have selected for their emuse-
ment.

We all have our local and state pride,
and love to see our industry, our ingenuity
and even our prosperity and our wealth Gu
logized in the papers Of other states. But
when we have the vanity to republish from
Our own presses the praises bestowed up
on US elsewhere we ought to correct their
erroneous statements. An article in the
National Journal gays, " that no state in
the Union has SO great proportion Of its
population ana capital engaged in manu-
Iactures as this."-And then proceeds to
enumerate its cotton mills, its thirty one
towns, its population Of 5000, which is
represented as averaging 50 inhabitants to
the square mile. Now deductng the wa
tevs Of Narragnnsett Bay there arc about
100 square miles in the state, which re-
ceire al average of IS As, very nearly
seyepty-fve and half inhabitants-to the
square mile-the most dense population in
America. But it gives us the greatest
commentator on the subject of our IL
banks, whose directors are made response
ole to the amount of their whole property,
for the correct management Of their re
spective Institutions.
