gsod. and beoo approved sf by the wisdom OF
tho state. To the interests Of the Manufa cture,,
he has Always opposed himself, and conse-
qucntly is hostile to the sgricu.turslist, -, for
the interest Of tho one is 20 happily blended
with tho other, that Il the one falls, the other
must and he would now rejoice 10 see lie in
dis'ry oftho state, which at present is employ cd
by Manufacturers, P,ostraiod and loyoled with
the dust. In word, il is rule with linn to
oppose overy thing, which is really calculated
to produce the truo interests Of the pcoric.
As candidate for the Senate, he IS sup
ported by the Honorable Elisha II. Potter, Of
Kingston, man with whom he was for a SO.
rics OF years at war, and wl'o once denounc-
cd han, as unit FOR any Office, however insig-
nfcani.
But "the Lion and the Lamb" have at
las. laid down together "a treaty OF peace and
amity has boon signed. and they VINO wero
yesterday hostile, kneeI down and embrace:
and the people Of Rhode-Islaed, now behold
an union Of hoarts, which s:aggsrs their cre-
dulny. The " why and the wherefore " or all
this, is as plain as the midday path to heaven
the bargain is as palpabe as the existence
Of tho Sun. A pledge has already bccn given !;
and Mr.. Potter is to support Mr.. Brown for
the Senate Of tho State, and in return for the
favor, Mr.. Brown is TO support the Honorable
gentleman from Kingston, for the Senate Of
the United States, TO fill the scat which will
be vacated, by the expiration OF tho Senatorial
term OF tho Honorable Nehemiah Il. Knight
This is tho bargain. but lest Mr. Brown should
be disappointed in its fulflment, VIC advise him
10 take bond to make it good, or lie may find
himself involved IN the same dilemma, which
another gentleman had to contend with in the
tho true interests Of the State and Nation--as
he is opposed to the presen, Observation-Disclosures
every sysem OF reformation, the diffusion OF
Ii = .lodgc,-thc creation Of a State Consttu-
tion.to the interests Of the asric'!lturalis. the
mechanic, and tho merchant, VIC submit his
claims tothc people, without further comment
at Mi, moment, and ask them, if they will
give their suiirages TO such man, as the Hon
orablc Nathan Brown Of Johnston.
GENERAL JOSIAH WHIrAKEn, tho gen.
tlemsn who opposes Mr.. Brown for the Off ce
Of first Senator. is we'll known to the people of
Rhode Island, and will, as we think, receive
their united and undivided support. As
friend TO the present administration, no man
has been more consistent and firm than he has,
and to promote its popularity, he has laboured
in season and out Of season, and has not heen
weary in we'll doing. His Interests are varisus.
and blended with the prosperity of tho
State, and in word, he is emphatical!y the
man for tho people. His wealth, accumulated by
persevsring industry and incessant tolls, is dis
trlbuted throuh the State; ;-he is a rARMER,a
MECHANIC, a MANUFAcTURER, and MER-
CHANT, and feeling as he must, the necossi.
ties Of every description Of people, he is pre-
eminentiy calculated to promote the necessary
measures, 10 supply their several wants. In
tion, and the diffusion Of useful knowledge
in word, he is preci.ely the opposite Of his
competitor.
But as the canvass has now fairly opened,
and as tho prcss, for some weeks to come, will
be necessarily called upon to discuss the SUBJ
jcct, for the moment we retire, and submit the
question. Of who shall be first Senator, TO our
friends, tho public, and our readers.
