.Iooa Raioiph on he trial of Join HtA'am'
Il was on one of those dull and dreary
DAYS Of January, when the intensity OF
cold chils the blood, and mat erially acts
upon the whole human system-now eleva-
ting and nov depressing tho senses---that
we took up oar line of march for the town
OF East Greenwich, the principal city Sin
the kingdom Of Kent"-a city as famous
at this day for its political transactions, as
it was for It's commerce in the years
1878 The business that led us to the
celebrated city, was not of much Importance
to ourselves, and as it is of less Importance
to our readers to know what it was, we
shall indulge the curiosity Of no one, am
further than to say that we were moved
and nstigated not by the devll' in our pere-
grinations, but by disposition to behold
the greatest deliberatve assembly Rhode
Island can boast of, in solemn council
u es,ie this, We had heard it sand, that an
other Bank was to be made, to be located
in the north easter rn extremity Of this good
ly town of Providence; and furthermore,
we we're particularly anxious to sec how it
was made, as our worthy friend and &C
oomplished cousin-german, had in our pre-
sence, after uttering several wicked words,
which it would not become US to repeat in
this moral essay, avowed to very respect
able and wealthy individual, that he would
make the prayer Of the petitioners pass the
General Assembly, and that the first time
he met with an eminent member from
Warwick, who opposed all applications for
Bank Charters, he would blow him up sky
high, "by--all firelock"
Thus excited to action, we commenced
our journey towards the city of Kent, but
ere we did so, we were not so unmndiul OF
our hearts best interests, as to neglect to
call upon those goodIy gentlemen of The
press, who wiel,i the destinies of the peo-
pie, and who with that modesty, which is so
conspicuously characteristic in them, un-
dertake to solve the most mystical prob
lens of domestic economy, and to frame
laws for the government of the universe.
Our first call was upon that favoured gen.
Jus, who conducts weekly paper in an ad-
joining building, and who has been elevated
to sundry Offices Of trust and honor by the
pcople--aye, the sovereign people, for
whom he entertains the most profound re-
spect-and we found him seated in the
chair editorial, calculating upon the proba-
BILE result Of the next election of members
for the Town Council, and to our astonish-
ment, we discovered that he had solved
problem which told him, that the next year
the citizens will be somewhat disposed to
suffer him TO remain in domestic retire
ment, and at liberty to occupy his whole
time, in making every effort to render his
publication as interesting as possible.
To our surprise, he informed US, that he
was well satisfied that he could not be again
elected to councilship; and as he spoke,
indignation and despair seemed to take
possession of his soul, and il was in vain
that we attempted to console him Talk
not to me Of consolation, said the indignant
magistrate, will not be consoled, and know
ye, that /, even I, after having paid every
attention to the interests Of the town, am
not to be degraded, and laid low by an un-
grateful people, without offering murmer
