The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1827-01-25

at all hazarCsj out the result has shewni that
those exertions, great, powerful and d, ssper-
ate as they were, have all proved unav-aiinr.
II is apparent, however, that Mr.. Ranlolnb-
still continues to move pretty powe rful in
! Auence among the Virginia opposers. of the
general government, and We should not bs
surprised at all, if he should be RETURNED 4,
the House Of Representatives by the Distrie.
which for a number of years he rep resented
in that branch of the National Leg isl ature.

Mr.. burgess SPEECH. weh,rve com.
pleted in this days paper the publ cation OF
the able and highly interesting speech of Mr..
BURGEs, in favor of the fair and .,igh,eeus
claims Of the officers Of the Revolntonarv
War, upon the government of country, ere.
ated and made what it is, by their valor and
patriotism. Although Mr.. BUReIs has besn
interchangeable in his exertions to sustain the
bill against the opposition of its open and a.
vowed enemies, and the more ungenerous and
dangerous attacks of its pretended friends, vet
we are apprehensive that the measure will
not be adopted at the present session Of Con.
gress.

MR.. ROBBINS, occupied the attention Of
the Senate on the 18th instant, ncarly an hour
in support of Bill for the relief of Ebenezer
Oliver and others, Directors of the Mississip-
pi Land Company, reported by the Judiciary
Committee of which he IL a member. The
subject on which he spoke, is TO be sure. i'm
mcdiately connected with matters in which
our readers generally, can feel no particular
interest: We shall, nevertheless, publish his
speech in our next; for, characterised as it is,
by Mr. Robbins usual clearness of thought.
and peculiar manner of reasoning, the perusai
OF 1t cannot, we think, fail to be gratifying 10
the numerous friends Of that gentleman.
mcgee
1t will be seen, by reference to DIR
advertising columns, that the proprietor of
the lace school in this town, has offered
very handsome premiums as incentives to
industry in his Establishment. And for
the future no work will be required to be
performed gratu,ously by those who may
wish employment.

Your correspondent in offering these few
remarks upon this subject, wishes il to be
distinctly understood, that no reflection is in.

or the Keeper OF that useful institute n Tie
fact is, material part of its s. stem is predi-
Gated upon an erroneous principle, which in
its operation deprives the town from realizing
so great an amount of sauing as was at frst
generally anticipated. Now in order 20 rem
edy the evil, it will be necessary to psy the
Keeper by the year, giving him and family
