MONUMENT TO GOVERNOR JoSRs.-A few
days since, " whilst medi,ating among the tombs
we happened to wander near the spot, where
repose " beneath the cold clod Of the valley" the
ashes Of the late Governor JONES'. A monument
from the chisel OF BoLLEs, which probably has not
thus far been excelled by an American artist, was
some few years since erected, to perpetuate the
memory of the tenant Of the grave. The slab bears
an epitaph which is remarkable for its chastity,
and the arms ofthe family. This part of the work
is extremely chaste, and is Of itself enough to e,tab-
lish the reputation Of the sculptor. But it has SO
happened, that some unprincipled person, actuated
probably by a spirit of hostility towards the artist,
has mutilated the tablet, broken of a leaf attached
TO the scroll, and defaced the animal, at the head of
the arms of the family. We cannot conceive that
there can be any one base enough to resort to a
method like this to crafty feelings of hostility to-
wards the mouldering form which reposes beneath
the monument, but shall rather ascribe the act to
some one disposed to injure the reputation of the
artist. II has been all opinion of ours, which we
have cherished fiom the cradle land perhaps it may
be a false one) that he who pursues a mortal to
the grave and beyond it, or he who in the dark
takes advantage Of the mantle which wells him from
the eye of Justice, to assassiuate moral or profess
ional reputation, :" is a wretch whom 'twere gros.
Battery to call n coward"

seventeen years Of age, was exposed at q public
whipping post in this town, and ordered to receive
the full measure Of the law. II is true, that the
unfortunate girl had been guilty ofgross improprie-
ties Of conduct, and by her disorderly behavior,
rendered herself a perfect nuisance. But aid she
merit such treatment as this?-did the exposure of
her person to a vile mob, tend to Undue her with
repentant emotions, or facilitate her restoration to
the embraces Of her weeping parents;-to those
who had watched over her infancy, and vainly
struggled to guide and direct her in the paths of
duty ar, Of virtue? If those who suffered incon-
venience by reason finer disorderly department
had felt those emotions, which ought ever to swell
in the bosoms Of Christians, they would have a.
dopted measures to restore her TO society, and to
redeem her from the labyrinth Of vice in which she
was enthralled.
To behold a young girl thus publicly exposed at
a whipping post, is one offie most disgusting scenes
ever presented to the eye of g~allantry, and he who
could calmly look on and see it perpetrated, must
indeed be insensible to all the charities Of our nature.
But fortunately for the character of the town, and
to the ceaseless credit of one of the gentlemen Of
its polity; she Wa. spared from the sCourgs
and restored to her home. 1t wa. not because she
had offended decency and ~propriety that she was
sentenced TO the lash, but because she was poor
because she had not seven dollar, to pay a fine inn
posed upon her by the laws of Rhode-Island.
Ifthus eheoply female delicacy is to be bought
and sold among us--iffor the crime ofpoverty those
Of the softer sex are to be publicly punished, when
will the lash Of the executioner cease 10 be heard
in our streets. If this naples, creature had
been wealthy, or if she could have produced the
little sum Of seven dollars, she would not have been
dragged before the glare Of the public, but would
have been suffered to indulge in all the excuses Of
dissipation with impunity.

suasion only, and as public issellation never had

written rather hastily and the facts there stated
we're sci Town from recollection. They were erro-

Mr.. KEAN. In reply TO the American Of Tues
day last, we have only to say to the Editor, whose
mode.ty and whose talents we have often
had occasion to admire, that we aIe surprised that
he whose appearance indicates so much Of the milk
Of human kindness, should think himselfcalled upon
to pursue, with the unsparing fury of Boston mob.
ocrat, a man, who, if he has offended, has expiated
the offence by the loss of fortune and offame. We are
not dis ,osed to enter into u controversy with the
gentleman of the American about the moral me-
rits of Mr.. KEAN, we have nothing to say further
than that as an actor, he ranks first in the history
ofthe Drama, and has not been surpassed as a repre-
sentative of Shakspeare's heroes, since the day
that GARRIcK fourisbed and KEMBLE triumphed
We believe that there is a large majority oftht
citizens of Providence who would rejoice to see
MIR. kEAN on our stage, nor do we believe tina
there could be found among us a dozen men sudi-
GENTLY abandoned to be engaged in a r,otous at
tempt to persecute and assassinate an unprotected
and unoffending actor.
five understand the Editor Of the American
right, he is disposed to pour a few phials of wrath
on the head Of Mr.. KEAN because that gentleman
did, on a certain occasion. leave the citizens of the
Literary Emporium in an improper manner! We
are not aware that the citizens of Providence are
called upon by any thing like courtesy or good feel
ing, to fight the battles ofthe Bostonian,; we opine
they will not attempt it, and if Mr.. KEAN visits us,
we venture to predict that he will be we'll and cor
daily received by an intelligent and moral commu-
nifty. The editor of the American, with all his good
qualities, isa singular kind of a logician, and argues
against the engagement of Mr.. Fan in this way
Hear Him
1.-THE managers will doubtless be aware that an
engagement far more satisfactory to our citizens,
might be made with one of less reputation"
Thus he argues Mr.. KEAN's reputation as an
actor and a man is well established, but a. the peo-
pie Of Providence are vitious in their tastes, the
managers ofour theatre would do well to engage al
actor who sustain no reputation at all /! Fie, Sir

REPLIcATIoN.-We assure the Editor Of the Al
leghapy Democrat, that he has our thanks for the
very civil manner in which he has been pleased to
speak of US. As he has INDUCED himself with an
assertion that this press was got up by Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Clay-how ridiculous I'VE assure him
that it is by no means likely that the President Of
the United States is aware that there are such per-
sons in existence as our humble selves. The Dem
ocrat attaches a degree Of importance to the Cadet,
which we had not hattered ourselves it would sue
coed in elicitins-he has placed US in the Cabinet Of
the United States-very good company, truly, but
it is a kind of society, in which we feel extremely
awkward. lit is of any consequence TO the Edi-
tor of the Democrat to know our motives in APP
pearing as the humble advocates of the administra.
ton, we shall say, that a firm and unaltersble con-
fdence in the abilities, the patriotism, and political
integrity of Mr.. Adams and his Cabinet, has in
duced US to extend to the present administration
our feeble aid.
We regret that we are no: capable Of performing
our part with more ability; but as we are certain
Of the purity Of our intentions, we shall content our
selves with our labors fondly hoping they may do
" the State some service" The Democrat supports
General Jackson, with much ability, and we cannot
but regret that il is engaged in so hopeless a cause.
