ceedngs of two public meetings, holden in
Newport, which will be found above, that
Mcssrs. TRISTAN BURCEs and DUrEE ].
PEARcE have been recommended as suta-
BILE persons to represent US in the United States
Congress. For the last two years, those gen.
tlemen represented in that body, and gave
general satisfaction to their constituents. We
do not think they will meet with any opposit-
ion; and until competitors como up, it is to be
hoped, that the press will be spared the troub-
le Of canvassing their claims. It is sufficient
TO know that they have performed the duties
assigned them by thoiE constituents. and that
they are entitled to the confidence Of the
State.

CAPTAIN JOHN b. AMEDIE.-Wc are
| gratried 10 learn, that the President of the
| United States, in the exercise Of the power
| delegated 10 him by the people, and the Con-
stitution Of the country, has though. proper to
award a respite to Captain Amedie, and has
said, that for the present the sentence of death
pronounced upon the unhappy, misguided and
deludcd offender, shall not be carried INTO ex-
ecuton, from which circumstance we are lead
TO infer, and hope, that the culprt will ulti-
mately receive fu! pardon.
Relative TO the fate Of Captain Amcdic, We
have felt some solcitude, and we have express
ed it;-and that solicitude was based OH firm
conviction, that he did not merit the sentence
Of death, pronounced upon him by Mr. Chief
Justice Marshall, although we are free TO adj
NIT, that if we take ihe strict letter of a severe
law for our guide, nothing could possibly save
Captain Amedie fom the ignominy Of the gal
lows Bat his case Is peculiar one, and de-
mands the attentive consideration Of those, in
whose hands his Life bas been placed, by the
laws Of the cOuary. Il is not assumed that
Captain Amede did not commit tho crime for
which he was ndctcd; on the contrary, the
ia is readily admitted. though we must in
sist, that in perpefrating II, he was mainly IN
huenccd and led astray, by the villain Frodng,
who has escaped, swindlei the underw riters
out of an immense sum of money, and left the
unfortunate ..ncd;e, 10 answer for his crimes,
and TO receive a punishment, which lie himself
was entitled to, and which We hope, he will
yet live receive
In former number Of this paper, we gave
a concise history Of the whole transaction,
and as it has been copied and generally circu-
lated by those papers which advocate the great
cause Of humanity, and will probably be well
remembered, we deem it unne cessary to repeat
it. OF Amedie, we know nothing personally,
but from an attentive observance to all the
matters Of fact, connected with his case, we
have made up our minds, that he does not mer-
it the punishment ofJeath and we are proud
to say, that that opinion is supported by those
Of hundreds of our contemporaries. As Mr.
Munroe was blamed for extending executive
clemency TOO often TO convicted pirates, We
were fearful, at the onset, that Mr.. Adams,
fearful of incurrng popular censure, would not
listen to the solicitations ofpoor Amodie; but
we are gratified that he has consulted Justice
and humanity, TO the exclusion of public opin-
ion, and for the moment saved from the gall
lows, an individual, who has been for more I'm
fortunate than criminal.
Captain Amede has wife and an interest
ing young family, residing in the vicinity of
Boston, who are waiting in breathless anxiety,
for the final decision Of the President; and it
is hoped that they will soon have restored TO
them, the husband and father; and that the
wretched man will once more taste of the
sweets Of connubial and domestic bliss, and
"sin no more." Let the friends Of humanity
throughout the country, plead for the pardon
| of wretched and misguided man, who though
guilty, should not DIE.

Mr.. CLAY.-The Secretary Of State, whilst
on his journey hoInewards, visited the city of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and on the 9Th in
slant, partook of public dinner, prepared for
him by the citizens of the city, at which six
hundred and fifty gentlemen were present, and
the sentiments drunk, we're very appropriate, /,
an complimentary to the distinguished guest
When his health was drunk, Mr.. Clay rose and
in his usual style of eloquence, addressed the
assemblage, when he adyerted in a proper
manner, to the course of conduct pursued by
the administration, and to the views and OBJ
jects Of the Opposition. We regret, that we
have not copy of the speech before us, and
that We cannot lay it before our readers. Pre-
vIous TO his leaving Pittsburg, Mr.. clay visited
the numerous manufacturing establishments in
that city; and beheld the happy results Of his
policy, as he viewed, in active operation, thou
sands Of spindlss which would have lain in the
dust. but for his exertions in promoting the
true interests Of the manufacturer, and the
country at large.
The Statesman says, that the arrival Of no
one, except General Lafayette, was ever greet
cd with more general pleasure and satisfac-
ton. We are sorry 10 say, however, that be-
fore Mr. Clay took his departure from Pitts
burg, mob, headed, as we suppose, by John
Mcfarland, the Editor OF the Democrat, as
sailed the house in which Mr.. Clay lodged, but
the dsorderly persons were soon arrested, and
confined in Jail us reward for their infamy.

GfNATIoNAL JUBILEE.--It will be seen,
by reference to the arrangements which have
been made 10 celebrate the anniversary Of
American Independence, that that proud day
which secured to US the charter of our Liberties
will be celebrated on Wednesday next, it,
manner, which in splcndour, will outye that Of
any former occasion.
To effect an object 80 desirable, the young
men Of the town mortified that the Older men,
hers Of society, and those who ought to set
patriotic examples, had neglected to make the
necessary preparations for the celebration, in
season to have them carried into effect, put
their shoulders to the wheel, voluntarily sub
scribed the money, and made efficient arrange
inents to celebrate the birth day Of American
Liberty and Independence.
For the spirit Of patriotism and national
pride, which they have evinced, they deserve
the applause Of the public; and we hope, that
on future occasions, those who may become
their successors, will follow the example they
have set ;-an example which is worthy Of all
: commentator.
We are sorry TO find, that the older propor-
fion of our population have almost forgotten
the day which relieved them from the yoke Of
Briton, elevated them to the enviable rank of
FaEEMRN. and secured to their offspring, the
inestimable privileges Of religious and civil
Ii ,erty.
The celebration Of the Fourth Of July, whilst
this Republic exists, should never be omitted,
f,r when we cease 10 awaken the feelings Of
T sing generations, and teach thcrN by hail
ing the natal day Of American Liberty with
seclamafons, and the thunders Of artillery,
that their ancestors were slaves, and achieved
fheir emancipation at the expense Of their
blood and fortunes, We approach an arstoc-
racy. and lay tho axe at the root Of the tree,
40 sap the foundation Of our liberties.
Tie observance Of the National Jubilee, has
been frequently opposed by those who would
firm an union between Church and State; and
,hey have declaimed against il as improper

they are certainly AZ good as those Of others,
would induce Us not 10 notice tho opposition; !;
but respect for very large proportion OF the
young men Of the State, who are ready TO bare
their bosoms, and to brave the storms Of war,
to defend the liberties Of the nation. requires
us to say, to those who, from conscientious mo.
tives, oppose the annual celebration-gentlo-
men sirs, we beg that you will, in the fulness
Of your kindness, suffer us TO celebrate the
anniversary Of American Liberty, by the peal
ings of the bells, the tbunders Of artillery, and
the display Of all the poDp and circumstance
TO which the day is entitled.
The young men of the town, have done them
selves much honor they have proved that par
simony does not preponderate over every prin-
ciples Of patriotism. and that they hail with
emotions Of gratitude, the return of that hour,
which freed them from state Of comparative
vassalage, and conferred upon them the envi-
able title of AMERICAN PREEMEN.

NtS-A DISPUTED QUESTION SETTLED
Ever since the erection Of the Friends lnstitu-
-tion, comrnonly called the Quaker c llege, il
has been matter of dispute, whether the emi-
ncnce il stands on is higher or lower than Pros
pect Hill; and many bet has been made on
the question. Nine tenths Of the town, have
been decidedly of opinion, that the em.nence
on which the Quaker College stands, is the
highest, and tho remaining part Of the popna-
tion, have declared in favor of Prospect Hill.
AS the subject has been made a matter OF
warm dispute, we are rsjoiced, in no small de-
gree, in being enabled 10 settle it; and in doing
so, We fancy We shall prevent many angry
controversies, and the pulling Of some hair
On Monday last Benoni Lock wood Esq. a gen.
tlcman who has a practical knowledge Of the
science Of Mensuration and Surveying, unwl-
ling that the repose Of the public should be
any longer disturbed by the disputed point,
undertook to unite the "Gordian knot" and
has politely furnished US the following report,
and result Of his inquiries:
"Tbe height Of Prospect Hill, in this town,
by the altitude lately taken, is ascertained 10
be 226 feet above high water mark. II is about
10 feet higher than the ground on which the
Friends Institution is located, and about the
same number Of feet lower than the elevation
north of said Institution"
After this, we hope that there will not be
any more angry words spoken, or bets made
relative to the subject; and il the disputants
do not coniide in the correctness Of Dir. Lock-
woods report and investigator, they are at

~ The following note came TO us yesterday
through the post office.
Mr.. EDIroR.-Ry noticing fauourably in
your next paper a communication in the last
Patriot, slgncd Chcapsde Clerks, you will
obligc your young, but true friends, L. &. 8.
REMARK. The article to which our young
friends refer, suggested the propriety Of mer-
chants on Cheapsde, closing their stores. on
the fourth of July, that their clerks might have
an opportunity Of fonjoying the festivities Of our
National Jubilee. We are ofopinion, that the
suggestions should be listened TO by our NOR
camille friends, as the Fouith Of July is to be
patriotically celebrated by the young men of
the town, at their own expense. Although
we shall not attempt TO dictate or advise, we
assure our young friends, that we do most sin
ccrely hope that their wishes will be graft
fled.

We hope the managers will look 10 this, and

compel them to stick TO the letter Of the au-

such measures, to gain, what he calls applause,
is not worth employing, and should be driven
from the stage, or be taught to conduct him.

raries, who was not long since driven from the
