all the blood Of all the Howards." You as.
sembled together gentlemen on the 4,h OF
July. to talk politics. and to feast on FAT
things; but on The present occasion we
have judged that plain dish would be 10
the Jackson men the most acceptable. In
deed, had IT been assigned to us to write
to you Of Greece nd Rome Of the inex
hanstble treasures of Hebrew, Greek and
Arabic, ,or TO have explained the cause why
a negro, is not a white man; or why an
eimtree does not bear apples; we should
have remained silent, and the spirit would
never have moved us TO address you.
II is fact well known to you, gentle.
men, that we elected our State Senators
this spring by more than two hundred ma
Jority; since which time, our numbers have
been daily augmenting but notwi,hstand-
ing the ialr prospects before us, you tell Us
we must march 10 the polls, with feelings
wounded, with laures faded. and with en-
sign reversed, and give our votes TO job
! Durfee and to Judge Eddy, in preference
TO any Jackson men, who supported our Ira
of Electors.
Let us next proceed TO enquire what
claims Job Durfee has on the Jacl lson meo
| OF Rhode Island for support. Did he serve
! them as Elector last fall? No. Did nc
vote for their list of Electors No! Did
he ever publicly own himself Jackson
man? No! But he now gravely tells Us
that he prefers the high living of Wash
ngton, 10 the rye and Indian fare of Tiv-
erton and that if we will give him eight
dollars per day, and eight for every TWEEN
ly miles he travels, he will hurrah fox
Jackson = but the gentlemen cannot COM
maid our support. And as respects Judge
Eddy, Il is fact well known to us all, that
he has been to Congress three times, thar
he gave the vote of Rhode Island to John
Quincy Adams, and that he is totally un-
worthy the support Of Jackson men.
We therefore beg leave to name for the
support of the Jackson men of Rhode ISL
and, our true friends;
THOMAS REMINGTON, Of Warwick ,6S
! JOHN D'WOLF, JR. Of Bristol,
as candidates to represent us in the 2Ist
| Congress Of the United States.
4 number Of The Jackson men Of Bristol.
Bristol, July 80, 1929.
The foregoing Circular was published in
| the Northern Star on Saturday last. 1t ap-
peared in that paper as communications,
and was published to crafty the wishes OF
many Of its patrons. At the Jackson meet
ing in this town on Saturday evening, Z
was pronounced a hoax, published to in-
jure the cause of Eddy and Durfoe Whe,h-
er Mr.. Remington or Mr.. D'Wolf has been
consulted in relation to this nomination,we
know not, and are inclined to be lieve they
have not been; but that this circular ia
what 1t purports to be we aver, because we
know IT to be so; and we further aver thar
from facts within our own knowledge,
Messrs. Eddy and Durfee will not receive
the votes Of twenty freemen Of tie Jack
son party in the town of Bristol. and but e
very few from any interest in that county.
The freemen there, consider, as many de
here, and in other sections Of the state,
| their Jacksonism. Of too sudden a growth
to be entitled to their aid or support. Per-
| haps ali Of their friends in this town do
not know, for there arc many things which.
! eaders do not communicate 20 runners, ,,ha.
but few days ago,propostions were made
TO withdraw their names, and put in nomi-
| nation other men. Perhaps all do not know,
'ha, there'is plan yet Oh foot to Withdraw
Mr.. Durfee from the course, between this
and town meeting day, and run another
man in his place. We are acquainted with
all the movements Of the Jackson party'
and would say to all those who belong to
it, assume whatever shape you please, we
are prepared to meet you the candidates
we support. are the peoples men, and the
cause we advocate, is our country's cause.
The editor of the Providence Patriot has
been informed that tho whole number who

town, friendly to the election Uf Messrs.
Pearce and Bnrges, did not exceed forfy.

correcting this statement. Wo happened
to be present when that infor nation war
given TO Mr. Simons, and thought it wss
intended as a Joke, or We should have rec
tilted the mistake at the time--we did n&
presume it would have been so soon para

hundred fyemea. This fact we can prove
