The providence papers are nlleu Win
long talks. about man to I'll the place
If Hon. Asher Robbins, in the Senate
cfthe United States. We think that
this subject has beea brosched at. an
early hour. Political dissensions are
Of no advantage to state at home or
abroad, and should only be indulged in
when the vital interests Of the commu-
nifty require them. Mr.. Robbins, has
filed that responsible station with which,
the Legislature saw fit to. entrust him,
with dignity and fidelity which will
be remembered when all the base insin-
uations Of disappointed Office seekers,
shall be wrapped in the mantle of obliv-
loo. We khoW not what reasons can
be rendered fSsremoving him, nor do
we believe n arepetitioh Of all the mean
arts which were made use of last an-
tumn to prevent his obtaining the Of
fee. will wrest il from him. 1g
We have bat few words to say wnh
regard to Mr.. Potter--he is man en-
dowed with superionr talents. which he
has always turned to his owM adrantage
"a political weathercock, always veer-
ing east, west, north or south, us the
wind Of his interest may blow--one
who will ask your aid to lift him above
the shoulders Of the crowd, and then
kick yov for your pains. In short, he
is an able, politician, but a very dishon-
EST one. Nor is Elisha II. Potter alone
in these things there are many others
leagued with him. who are equally bad
80 far as their abilities go, and equally
require looking to. For little state,
Rhode-lsland contains IA pretty formi'
dable anti administration party, headed
by the Chief Magistrate and the
&c kings name" is something, although
his sceptre poists another way. The
people will do well to keep an eye te
the wiudward. lest their officers scuttlt
the ship.
We make no pretensions to politick'
nor do we care one fig for either o.
both parties--we shall take the liberty
to say just what we think proper, witt
regard to candidates held up for publcl
Office, without consulting the feeling
or views Of any individuals, anil wher
the publick refuse US a support with
this privilege, we will seek some other
mode Of getting our bread.
