g,-SUpREME CoURr.-Thc Supreme Court
was opened on Tuesday last by a charge from
Mr.. Chief Justice Eddy, at Newport. His
Honor narrated very 'minutey, all the promi-
nent facts connected with the entire historical
Jurisprudence Of hode-Island-expressing as
he pursued the narration (says the Republ, can)
very warm attachment to all those Judicial
peculiarities in which Rhode-Island has for
200 years stood alone, and sign,lize to a very
extraordinary degree. Judge Eddy dwclt at
large upon the impropriety of opening Courts
by prayer. The reasons which he offered for
omittlng that practice at tie presen, term, ap-
peared perfectly satisfactory to his Honor, and
the charge.

body of James strang, at Albany, on the 24th

to that tribunal, from which tho most secret

bled to witness the dying agonios Of their gull

it was estimated to fom thirty to forty thou

pTIHE CONFESSION OF STRANG.-"A
small pamphlet bearing this curiosity y-clictlng
title, has made its appearance IN this town,
and purports to he faithful IAN impartial, and
u true confession made bv the infamous Jesse
S!rapg the murderer Of Whipple. We have
read Z, and as in duty bound, we advise every
parent to keep it from his children, if he wish
es to save their young minds from contamIna-
ton 1t is an infamous catch penny produc-
ton, got up by lawyer Pepper r,-abounds
with al! that is loathsomc and scandalous, and
its publication ought to be suppressed. Who
ever will read it, save the inludicious, and the
young and iaeypor .encei, cannot rise from its
perusal, with any other feelings than those Of
disgust, and contempt, for MIR. Lawyer Pepper,
and Jesse Strang, the hero Of the disgusting re-
cital.
That il teens with faschoods, there cannot
he doubt, although Strang in his last mo-
rnen,s, pledged his - word and honor''-only
think of that that it was automatically cor
rect, and entitled 10 the entire confidence Of
the community! The infamous villain, If he
ever had any CLAIMS upon the sympathy ofthc
world, has by his confession, completely de-
stroyed; then,and elected the Indignation of an
insulted public.
With all the baser qualities of an &C COM
plished cui-throai, he united the detestable
properties of the coward; and not content
with working out the moral destruction of
weak, unstable and thoughtless female, with
ticnd-llke feeling, he made every effort TO
bring her 60 the same ignominious end, that
a, last pat period to his career Of villainy -
Beside this, he has consented 10 the publica-
ton oil o book of what we believe TO be a
tissue of fd!'ehood which will pursue her to
the ends of The earth. And whilst he talks Of
his love for her, he cooily and eaImly, whilst
on the very parapet of eternity, struggles to
seal her " irreyocable damnation, >" and TO heap
upon her head load Of accumulated crimes.
Such il tho department Of this most accom-
pished cut-throat towards the woman he pro-
fessed to love. and who, through him, has, at
the early age Of twenty-five, been doomed to
wander around the world, covered with shame
and disgrace to wander a living monument
Of abandoned principo o, and of accumulated
crime.
We confess that previous TO our reading the
confession of this monster, a ray Of pity was
cnhindled in our bosom for him, and We did
most sincerely believe, that the fanlt, and the
origin Of all his atrocities, clay with the wo-
man" But since wo have read il, we should
hate and dcspse ourselves, if we pitied him;
dnd the recollection Of the wretch Is loath-
some,--it is offensive and disgusting.
The pamphlet, is badly written, though il
cano from The pen Of Counsellor Pcpper--it is
