THE WORK GOES BRAVELY or
The Adams ticket for members of tbs
next Congress has succeeded in that
State, by a majority of more than four
thousand votes. a large majority OF those
returned to the next Legislature of that
State, will be in favor Of the Administra-
ton, and a Senator to ill the vacancy oc.
casioned by the death Of Mr.. McIlvaine,
will, undoubtedly, be chosen of the same
views. Another winters siege 10y the
opposition, will place the reelection OF
JoHS q. ADAMS, by the people, beyond
all doubt We are afraid there are many
who last Session were yOciferous, will be,
the next session, ~ quiet as mouscein
the wall"
SUPREME COURT-The Supreme
Judicial Court will convene in this town
on Monday next. agreeably TO adjourn
ment. The argument on the motion made
at the commencement of the term in Au-
gust, for new trial on the Indictment
found against Sarah Rowland, will then
be heard.
THE CIRCUS, which has lately been
established in Providence, and which has
been so attractive, we understand was
closed last evening, the proprietors being
under engagements to proceed elsewhere.
1t IS their intention to be absent several
months, when they will return better pre-
pared to merit the attention and patronage
of the public.
SENATORIAL ELEcTIoN.-We deem it
unnecessary to say much relative to the
Senatorial Election, to the publications
which have passed between the Hon ASH
ER ROBBINS, and Mr.. T.. X. Potter. Each
have already occupied a sufficient space in
the public eye the one as the accuser the
other as the accused Mr.. ROBBINS has
triumphed, he has refuted the calumnies of
an unprincpled political enemy and aspir-
ant. Whatever may be the public sentiment
abroad, it is certain that Mr.. ROBBINS re-
tains the entire confidence of the people i'm
this quarter, and the public voice, if called
for, would give him spontaneous suffrage.
Junius, has, in this affair, added the last
negative to his political character, and prov
ed himself destitute of those honorable
principles, which should ever command the
feelings of public man.
The friends of the Administration, will,
it is believed at the approaching Senator
ial election, support Mr.. ROBBINS to man
and we hope there will not be found one,
who would give his suffrage to Mr.. PoT-
TER. Prov Cadet
The Providence Journal Of Monday last,
contains an official report, from the several
Committees of the r. !. Society for the En-
couragement of Domestic Industry, of the
premiums awarded at the recent Fair, hold
EN- at Pawtuxet. The editor of that paper,
makes the following remsSks -
"Some of these reports are full and a
Bile, and others are wanting in correctness,
and especially in minuteness. 1t is not on
ly desirable that the exhibitions should ex-
eel, but in order to excite emulation, the
public should be able to understand the
grounds OH which awards are made. Of
the multitude who attend show of this ma
ture, but few have the opportunity of test
ing the actual merits off competition either
in articles presented or in labor performed.
Thus. in the two reports, on ploughlng and
working Oxen, the former does not state
the nature ofthe ground, the width of the
furrow turned, and other particulars, from
which comparison might be drawn be-
tween this and former matches. or between
this and the labor done at Cattle Shows in
other States. On Working Oxen, the re-
port is extremely imperfect. Whether
there was one or dozen teams, or whether
they drew one or twenty tons, is left to con-
lecture. This has uniformly been a de-
feet in the report of this committee, and
we trust another year will sec it properly
remedied.
On the subject Of Mill Manufactures, we
have not favourable word to say. We
declare at home, and it is admitted abroad,
that Rhode Island is the principal manu-
featuring State in the Union. This would
hardly be inferred from the exhibition of
Mill Manufactures at the Pawtuxet Fair.
Last year there were 36 dollars awardediy
this department, and the rariefy consisec
of pieces of Sattinet, Bedtick, Bobbins Ct.
ton Ferrits, Stripes, and Brown SheetIs
and Shirtings. This year, % dollars WI
awarded on pieces Of Satinett, Cal.
Stripes and Checks. We do not won
the intelligent committee on Mill Manu-
lures were so brief in their report. II
not that there are not specimens of the
ducts of our mills that would do honor
any exhibition ;but from some cause bevc
