Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1828-03-12
Iudc inn threw a pearl away


and became the scoT and the reproach of his
country. Like Aaron Burr, he is now remem-
bered for what he was, and whilst all men do
Justice to his talents and genius, they indeed
40 pity him-lament his misfortunes-but re-
member, that it was he himself that provoked
them.
1t is supposed, that Mr. Russell's objects in
coming among us, are connected with the To-
cal politics Of the State ;-and we are not pre-
pared to doubt the fact But be this as is
may, his efforts can neither do any good or
harm, for the moment tha: the people Of
Rhodo-Island are apprsod that he has hand
contemn the measures he and his associates
may be prepared to recommend and will scorn
to adopt them. He is harmless, if he is known,
but if unknown, his exertons may not be with
out their effect; and hence it is well TO caution
the people against them, That Mr.. Russell
hates Mr.. Adams with tho most deadly hate,
we all well know, and that he would do all in
his power to in,Te his election, we are we'll
satisfied; but if he has stepped over the Rhode
Island line for this purpose, or for any other,
, nnecied with the local politics Of the State,
he will find that he has undertaken an unprofit-
able pilgrimage.

omitted to mention. in our last. that the Hon
o,able jonathan Russell had visited us, aud
was mingling with the desperate poItica! sp'r-
It's of the day, 10 produce the deiea. OF Mr.
Adams. We saw him but once or twice;-he
was then alone, standing at the corner oi the
public square, apparently absorbed IN deep
meditation. whilst his object, and fallen coun-
tenance, too well told. that the canker worm
feasled upon his heart, and that he sickened
at baholLing the height iiom which he had
fallen; and was dismayed while contemplating
the pit of disgrace, into VIII ch he had madly
plnrged.-As we gazed upon him for a mo-
ment, we could not but pity his condition.
and when VIC remembered how high hs once
stood in the eyes Of his country men-when We
remembered that he was the beast of Rhode
Island-and that all eyes were turned towards
him, as the pride and ornament of the State,
we could not but lament his fall, and deplore
the events, which led to the lamentable catas-
rophc.
In our boyish days, when this misguided
man, was al the summit of his glory, enjoying
the confidence Of his country, and his coun'ry's
honors, often did we llnger over the rich eman-
atoms of his pen, and boast of him az the
great man of Rhode Island But alas! he has
fallen from his high cstate-hc has sunk TO
rise no more by one false step, he ruined all
l.. A. f,n
ness Of his mad ambition, he has prostrated
every hope, and now, he, who was once so
high on tho round Of ambitions ladder, is laid
low,
"And poor to do him reverence"
The fate of Nr Russell, should serve as a
warning, as a beacon, 20 guide others from the
rock on " hich he split to avoid the errors
which consummated his disgrace, and produced
his ruin. Had he contented himself, with
marching on to greatness and fame, as fast as
his countryinea had wished him, it is not un-
likely. that he might have attained the first
honors of The nation. But his ambition knew
no bounds;-he was not prepared TO bo patient
and wait tho revolution Of time to produce pro-
motion, but in an unlucky moment, led asiray
by his unhallowed thirst for fame, he attempt
ed TO undermine his rival, and put his compet-
or aside, by means neither fair nor honora bio.
In this he was defeated: and whilst he med
tated the ruin of others, he produced his own.
AS a man Of sterling, and rich, and varied tall
ents Mr. Russell has but few. if any superors
and as writer, he is not, perhaps, excelled
by any diplomatist of the country. Blessed
with all these advantages, he was pre- eminent
ly calculated to march on to greatness and to
glory; but
