mote her best interest must have rejoic-
ed at the election Of men to Congress
who would stand firm in the hour of dan
ger & fearlessly oppose every effort for the.
destruction of the American system. The
Hartford Review commenting upon our
recent struggle holds the following Ian
guage.
"The Congressional election in Rhode
Island has resulted in the appointment OF
Messrs Burgess and Pearce. The adher-
ents ofJackson have for the last few months
been availing themselves of every art and
strength to defeat these gentlemen but il
was found on the day of trial, that the Jack
son party had becom emaciated to mere
skeleton. II is now dead--and its poor re-
mains have been carried out and buried
quietly at the bottom Of the gardsn.-We
may perhaps hear few dismal scIeeches
from Its grave but these can only be con-
sIdered as indications, that its unblessed
soul is at ease.
Mr.. PcaIce is an excellent man, and
well worthy of being sent TO Congress
fIom New England State But, it is in
the re election fmr. Burgess, that Ne more
particularly rejoice. In many departments
OF oratory, mr.. b. is the first man in Con-
gress. Where the sublime and the beau.
tlful are required, to speak as If his lips
were burning Goals, and when ke attempts
the sarcastic, he leaves the antagonists ri
ven and blasted like a thunder stricken
pine. The gentlemen of the South. whs
we're once so insolent towards New En-
gland, have felt his power, and sooner than
~ tboa,
"beBrd the devil on his throne" So long
as we send such men to Washington, we
need have no fear but that the hair brain
ed clan Of the South will know and keep
their places. Randolph and NcDufiie viii
not soon forget the wounds they received.
in their encounter with the old man OF
RHODE Island. They must wear their arms
in sling for the rest ofther lives"

The PLAGUE AT New ORLEANS ap-
pears by lhe following article copied from
a NewOresns paper of recent date that tho
yellow fever, the plague Of that climate, is
making appalling ranges in that city.
Nor does the paperspresent The worst side
OF the melancholy picture, ifpriyate letters
from thence do not deceive us. In one Of
the morning papers We find letter stating
THAI the deaths range from 90 TO 20 per day.
AT this rate, unless the Inhabitants fly from
the peStllence with one accord. New Or
leans will coon become literally q city Of
the dead IN. y. Com.
YELLOW FEvER-From all the inform
alton hat we are able TO procure, We learu
that ttas usual and dangerous ssitant Of
the city prevails to Oh Alarming extent. IL
the statement be true, for few days past
from thirty to fifty have died each day, and
those who il IS reported constituted the
greatest number of the subjects, were those
SPaniards, that adopted tbis city as tenn
porary asylum from the extravaganza Of
Mexican democracy. .0>.
TO tnd mnltiudes of fellow beings fall
ing before us into the grave. a few mo-
menia after they have Showed the liyeless
and heshmest aspect and when we'ore or
hope TO be secure, is astonishing and la-
meniable. The youthful, the aged. the pow
erful and the weak, yielding themselves Il
Prey 10 It's rapidly devastating force. Al
though disposed TO weep with the mourn
rrs. who may be spread over the world, and
who Will anxiously look towards New Or
leans for the communication of the news Of
life or death, we within opposition to the
usual course prescribed, advise Nose who
are unaecllmsted 10 remain in the city.
i hat the disease prevails, there Ia nodoubt:
and that the method of treatment, the ad-
vintage OF attendance, and the nee essarieS
Of the patient are more abundantly procur- .
cd here than else where are truths self eyi-
dent There is at least equal liability to
ba inf h,,f ba IN L.
city at this time, and double danger from
the inexperience of medical attendants.
Those who are untouched b. the searching
operation Of the yellow fever have now 10
stand and test their strength with its DESC
iatlng powers.
