The following is the List of JACKSON r.
lectors as published in the new Jackson paper
in Providence
NATHAN n SuR.GuE, Smithield.
HEsRy BULL, Newport.
WILKINS UPDIEE, of > Kingston.
Thomas REMINGTON, I'd OF Warwick.
II will be recollected by our friends that
Nathan B. Sprague. Esq represented the
town Of Smithfeld in the General Assembly
at the time ofthc pending election of mr.. Ad-
ans in 1924, and was made chairman of one
or more Adams Conventions at that time, as
reward f"r which he was appointed to carry
the Electoral votes Of Mr.. Adams to Wash.
ington, Il is awell known fact also, that th.
same Mr.. Spragne afterwards aspired to a seat
in Congress--apd for this honorable appoint
ment it was thought by his political friend,
that he was neither qualified by natural or ac
luircd talent, After being disappointed il.
his his favoritc object, mr.. Sprague thought
proper to desert his old friends was denounr.
ed by his constituents in Smithfeid, and il
now the pitifuI tool of the jackson party with
out any respectable political influence what
ever. So much for mr.. Spraguo.
The next on the list is Henry Bull, ESQ
This gentlemen is we'll known to our readers
generally as strong Jackson man, but we Gid
not think he would have consented to have
been caught in such company. As Repre-
sentative from the town Of Newport, Majo'
Bull is Justly respected for his useful talents
in support Of the local interests Of tho town
respect for this gentleman in this point oi
view, solely induced his fellow citizens to con.
sent to his rejection as n Representative
but as a candidate for an elector, he can obtain
but very few votes even among his immediate
constituents, as his political sentiments are
hostile to at least nine tenths of them.
The third gentleman is wilkins Updike
Esq. Of Little-Rest Hill. No man has boxed
the political compass more thoroughly for the
last Is years than mr.. Updike. This gentle
man would have served the Adams party some
few years since, as Attorney. General Of this
State--but they declined his proffered servi
ccs in that instance for obvious reasons; since
which mr. u has been nj retirement, and his on
ly hope now for promotion is grounded on
some political revolution which may take
place hereafter. Mr. Updike though some
times called a, fsderalst, and at others Re-
publican, has always been zealous advocate
Of the views snd interests Of the Honorable
Elisha r. Potter. Can il be wondered, then
tha, he is to bs found on tho list Of Jacksot
Elec'ors' 200 ]
Thomas Remington the Cd, the fourth gen
tlcman on said ticket, is totslly unknown in
this part ofthe State. II is presumed he wa,
selected for his cbscurity. Why had they moi
nominated the celebrated mr. Waterman
LIEUT.. BACHE.-This promising young
officer Of the Engineer Corps, has lately re
ceived an invitation by the University o.
