PROVIDENCE. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 81.

those who are attentive observers Of the times,
pcsels Of the ADMINISTRATION are now making
every effort tc SECURE the election OF General
. Andrew Jackson at all hazards, and that Their
e,nissaries are nov at YORK, even in New-Eng-
Isnd, to accomplish the designs of the unhaI-
l,SeS faction.
This is plain Ia be seen, il is Observable in
every days passage, and yet We are sorry 10
say, that the friends Of the administration. in
this section ofthe country, are comparatively
Inactive We arc safe say they; il is impossible
for General Jackson 10 turn the scales OF New
Eneland in his flvour, and We will quietly look
on. smile at his efforts, and contemn the mach
nations Of our enemies.
That the votc Of Ne. England is completely
secured to Mr.. Adams, We do most sincerely
> believe; and we are persua led, that nothing
but some supernatural Circumstance can di-
vert it; but still we arc not sure there is
sometimes positive danger, in roposing in state
Of self satisfying security; and too of'cn it is
the case, that when thus reposing We are TAX
Ell by surprise, the enemy walks into the camp,
and before we are aware of il, that victory
which for the lnoment hosered over our arms,
is wreslod from us, and the foe leaves the field
triumphant.
Tho din ofthe political contest, has already
been sounded s'from camp to camp" and it is
now time. that we mike vigorous effort, TO
meet in the ahiay; and if something le not
done To cut OF The DESIGNS OF our opponents,
they will most assuredly gam strength AZ
points, where it is not now supposed anything
can be gained.
To efFec, the purpose we have in view, and
il is nothing bu, selfsccnrity TIM; VIC seek for,
we should assemble together, communicate
aud Keep oursel'e es at all times advised OF the
state of other communities. and asccrta;ning
the designs Of the enemy, il possible, nip them
in tie bad. Ii Nc%-Hampshirc, great ad-
mine,ration meeting has been held, aud al
ready have the good effects of il, boen witness
cd by the public. L. has shown the world, that
the people Of that State are almost unani-
inously in favour Of the reelection Of Mr.. Ad-
ans; II has exposed lie mcndacity of far
famed press, published in that State, the editor
Of which, has for some months laboured to
mtke the Ainerichn people believe, that many
OF the most influential men.in that state, are
opposed 10 the present administration, and
that New Hampshire, will give her support TO
CeEeral Andrew Jackson. At this great
meeting. there was present an eminent indi-
yiduul whom the editor of the New Hampshire
Patriot, had claimed MS one Of his partizans,
and who he had asserted, was favourable to
the interests of General Jackson. The remarks
offered by the gentleman TO whom we aude,
mr. Bartlett, j were extended to considerable
lens from which we make an extract-which
. will be found in another place-simplyt to show
the ma gnanimity of the man, and the correct
ness oF his sentiments.
Although Rhode Island is a small State, she
is an important member of the Union, she has
a voice in all the concerns of this great nation;
and whilst the political elements are warning
around her, and the comhatants arc ready for
not be idle.
Thus far has Rhode leland been firm she
has proved herself the steady and undertaking
frenl Of the National Administration she
has profted by the correctness Of that admins
frston, and we hope,'ha in return for the wis
dom Of that policy which the government has
: pursued, and by which she has been so largely
assisted. she will mono make vigorous
effort, TO support the men, who have struggled
to advance her inteests, and the interests of
tho nation.
II is spectacle at once imposing and sub

only free people on earth; assembling at the
polls, and there, in their majesty, declaring

system of self government has been tested; and
though we have been sneered at, by the grow
cling sycophants Of monarchies and aristocra-
c;cs, and have been told that people cannot
govern, we have, by practical examples, told
the world, that an honest yeomanry, "a ma
tons pride,'' can engender laws for ther own
execution, and that the bosoms of rREEMEN,
when barred 10 the storm, set thor foes at Gs-
fance-proye TO them our mightmess. .and set an
example, which proves that men, when unen-
slaved, are capable Of all that is great and
