her own dissolution appeared to be near, and
she was anxious that her children should be able
to look the world in the face without blu,hng
at the lmputation Of unlawful parentage While
giving this account of herself. She at times was
almost overcome with emotion and when

The natural proneness of men for the attainment
ton which incites US to action, when fame blows the
delightful blasts of her trumpet, has started in the
course Of competition, several candidates for the Of
fee OF Senator to the Congress OF the United States,
The competitors are all honorable gentlemen
they have all - done the State some service and
are yet anxious to exert themselves, their talents,
and their attalnments, in further:ns the harmony,
the happiness. and the independence Of the people,
and of placing on an imperishable basis, the struct-
ure Of our Liberties. And ii is to be lanented tina
such a band of worthless, republican zealots, and sd
yes, cannot all be accommodates with a seat i'll that
august assembly, towards which their aching eyes
are directed, and for the honors of which their
hearts ~palpitate. II is an unfortunate feature, how
ever, in our national poIity, that each State is al
lowed to send but two Senators, and as there exists
but one vacancy in our Senatorial representation,
only one of the, aspirants, under any circumstances,
can reach the goal of Senatorial distinction.
The anticipated vacancy to which we have allu-
ded, is at present filled by the Hon. ASHER Rob-
BINS, a gentleman who is well Known to the Rhode
Island public, as an able civilian, as a chaste and
classical scholar, and as a firm and innexible, and
honest politician a man whose aim through life
has been the good Of his country, and the happiness
of his species. lie was elected to the Senate OF the
United States at the last October session Of the Cen
eral Assembly, to fill the unexpired term Of the
Hon. JAMES D'WoLF. and during the last session
of the Senate has distinguished himself as the able
and eloquent advocate of the interests of his imne-
| date constituents, and the firm and fearless friend OF
| the present administration Mr.. ROBBINS is u de.
| mocratic republican Of the Jefersonian school, and
| through the whole course Of his political life,
has never swerved from the fixed principles OF
that great statesmen, and though he has seon men
veering around with the winds, and boxing the po-
litical compass, for the attainment Of office, he has
pursued a direct and straightforward path, neither
turning to the right or to the left to purchase "gold-
en- opinions from all sorts Of men" or to seek favor
with those in power, or to appease their wrath. OF
| to lessen their denunciations against those who hap
pened not to move to please the whims and caprice
| Of the " Lords ofthe Manor"
Despising the low i~ntrigues Of political office
hunters, he has never resorted to any improper
means TO obtain Office, but conceiviDg no situation
worth holding, which, When obtained, is not free

On Sunday last, Messrs. Burgess and Pearce, of
the House Of Representatives, and Mr.. Robbins. of
the Senate, returned to their homes from the city of
Washington, and were cordially received by their
constituents. These gentlemen have happily sue
ceeded in meeting the expectations of the people,
and established characters for themselves, which
the virulence of party rage will not soon de-
stroy. The people have abundant cause to rejoice
that they have been so ably represented, and the
gentlemen of the delegation, may with great pro-
priety congratulate themselves that they have done
much towards gaining an exalted name for Rhode
Island. We wish them all much h~appines, whilst
they shall remain at home TO receive the klndnesses
of their families, and the CALCULATIONS Of their
friends.

Merico, September Is, 1925.
81 had this morning second conference
with the Plenipotentiaries of'this Government,
and as some difficulties have been presented
that may retard the progress OF the negotiation,
am anxious that you should be made acquaint-
ed with them as early as possible, and lose no
time, therefore, in laying them before you.
The project of the treaty was drawn up oy
me, and, of course, contains the principle oil
perfect reciprocity in the commerce and ma
vieation of the two countries, according to the
spirit of the act Of 9TH January, 1924 ms
was objected to, as might have been expected,
and an effort made to introduce the fourth ar
,icle of their treaty with Great Britain, which
contains an exception, in my opinion, highly
Objectionable. 1t is at the close OF that artl-
Gle. in these words, excepting only the Amer
lean nations which were formerly spanish
nossessions. TO which, on account OF the frater.
ma, relations "that unite them TO the United
Mexican States, the latter may grant Especial
privileges which shall not be extended to the
dominions and subjects Of His Britannia Ma
iesty." 1t was agreed to reserve the point OF
DerIeCt III Viz SSiih>'S ie' '>'N
ton. between the two countries, but l most
streruously opposed the exception above cited,
and, as at present advised, will never sign a
treaty on such terms.
The mail leaves the city in a few hours, so
that have not time to give you the arguments
which were urged for and againstit. My prin-
cipal objections, are the impolicy of admitting
any distinctions in the interests Of the Ameri-
can States which would tend to unite these
more closely, and place us in some contingent
cies without the pale. Treaties, in all Proba-
bility, by this time, have been concluded be-
tween the United States and Buenos Ayres and
Chill, on such terms as would render pro'ls-
ion of this nature nugatory in time ofpeace; but
in the event oil war between the United States
and either of those Powers, an event which,
however remote, ought to be provided against,
such an exception would enable this country to
assist very materially our enemie:,, without VI
olating the treaty. With these impressions, &
with this view of the subject, will not agree to
this provision; and as know the Plenipoten.
tiaries and the President Of the Mexican Safes
to be obstina,ely bent on carrying this point, l
earnestly solicit that you will instruct me if
you think oughtto yield it,
