TO be holden at the Town House, for the purpose OF
nominating two persons to represent tho town OF
| Providence 10 the next General Assembly, in the
place OF Gen. Edward Darlington, and Samuel w.

names OF these gentlemen, but it is well Understood
that Messrs. Newell and Arnold will vote for MIR.
Robbins, and that the two former gentlemen will
support his opponent, the Hon. Elisha r. Potter
which is IA sufficient reason to alarm our citizens
| and excite them to action. Providence has no
cause to respect Mr.. Potter on the contrary, she
has every reason 10 despise and abhor him rs pub
lie man. His bitter hatred to the prosperity Of the
! town-his exertons to prejudice the country
against her nterests-;o tax her banks, aud also the

TO induce the ireemen to every exerton to pre-
