ELISHA r POTTER e. NATHAN BRowN, ploy.
ing a new but dirty eams-We have received
information from source entitled to the most
spirits have been in Providence during the
early part of the present week, making their
arrangements to print netc prox, TO he head-
ed the old Republican prox-which is to con
tain the names of Field and james, who were
both left ont of the proxies agreed on in Janu.
ary last. Thus it will be seen that there will
be three proSes offered TO the ireemen Potter
and Brown are in favor ofthe Republican prox
so called and they are also in favor Of the old
Republican prox, that is, the prox as it stood
last year. which they are now about to have
struck off in Providence. We believe, nay,
we know, that the freemen will understand
this cunning management on the part Of Pot.
ter, Brown, Waterman, and a te,o others, whose
names we are unwilling, at present, to expose
to public rldcMc and empt-RCpublcGn
closely connected with ELISHA r. Potter in
forming republican prox, either neao or old ?
mons;rous absurdity The plain truth il,
these men are Jackson men, using their ut
! most oDdeavors to force upon the people that
prox which shall contain the greatest number
of Jackson senators. lfPotter can get Brown,
Field, Wm. WhIpplc, Nc. reelected, he would
then consdor his own election to the U S sc
nate, as nlmost guaranteed He to be sure
has bailcd the man Of Kent With seat in he
L. S. Senate, put his promises to Waterman
arr ofa character similar 10 those he has made
TO other republicans promises he never meant
TO fulfil. promises which he we'll knew at the
time he made them, he could not fulfil Potter
has blasted the prospects and ruined the public
usefulness of every republican who was fool
ish enough to be on terms political intima
cy with him There rests upon our minds NJ
this moment, the recollection Of a remarkable
instance illustrative of this assertion, and may
be read in the fate of a once promising leader
of tho republican party, living in the north
part Of the state. Potter saw this same man
continually crossing him in every direction ,es.
pecially at Mr. Robbins first election, and was
at once determined upon his ruin--he accom-.
plished it, in becoming his political friend -
II was right that such consequences should at.
tend such a union.
In our paper of to-day, will be found com.
munication over the signature of"Souih. Civ
ing an account Of some of the movements of
T.. r. Potter in his opposition TO the admins.
tratien prox. The communication is from the
pen of as intelligent and as honest man, as
has no other object in view than the further
ance Of tho best interest Of lilo country Ma
ny Of our readers may not know that Mr.. Pot
ter pretends TO take no very active part in the
present contcs, but it will appear from South
that he even condescends to do the drudgery
Of his clan, by hanging abou, the post office.
TO see what passes there, and to receive and
distribute such filthy things as the pamphlet,
written by pretended "fdrmor,' but which,
in fact, was written by man that never even
hoed hU of potdtoes in all his life Such
tricks will not answer, Mr.. Potter, YOU had
better be honest, ifyou still wish to be Gorern'
or Of the state, or to ge, into the L. S. Senate
you had better, at all events, be honest il
you can, in your political career.

Mercury, headed lmPort0n, Document.
We are obliged to say, that we cannot under
stand the rhoie drift of the article but VIC
presume it is susceptible of explanation.
