was finally passed by vote of 90 to 70. The House
then resumed, in Committee Of the Whole on the

Mr.. Calhoun gave a casting vote for
chaplain to the Senate in favor ofmr. Johns,
the candidate Of the anti administration
party. This looks like disaHcction. There
is evidently a conflicting interest between
two distinguished members of the cabinet,
and nothing but plausible pretext is want
ing, on ono side, TO produce an open rup-
,ure. The opinion Of the executive in re
lation TO the Bank of the United States,
cannot be satisfactory to the Vice-Presi.
dent, who has always been its firm friend
and advocate. The remarks in the mes
sage in reference to that institution, evince
an ignorance Of its advantages, of consttu-

with the management Of affairs.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1829-12-24

The Presidents Message is calculated
by It's general character to produce, at a
first glance, favorable oppression; but By
contrasting some of its avowed principles
with the acts Of the administration, and BY
rejecting on the manner in which il ulludes
TO the different interests ofthe country, we
think we can perceive the most saiisfacto
ry evidence that it was prepared rather for
effect, than as faithful exhibit of the fu
turc policy of the government. Its dstin.
gushing feature is tho reform which per
vades it. With some slight exceptions il,
however proposes nothing that is in fac,
likely to improve materially the present
condition of the country. On the other
hand there are many suggestions in this
document, which are obnoxious to the wish
cs Of the people and to the spirit Of the
constitution. The style in which Foreign
Powers are complimcn,cd has been justly
censured as unworthy Of the character OF
our government, and is calculated to in
spire abroad no very desirable opinion OF
the purity of our republican feeling. Al.
mos, every paragraph, marked by this full
some praise, concludes with statement oi
some indemnity or commercial advantages
sought from the government to which tho
adulation is addressed; and its object being

The Editor of the New. York American
in commenting upon that part of the report
OF the Navy Commissioners, which recon-
mends the establishment Of two great ma
val stations, one in the Chesapeake and the
other near Newport, remarks, that these
positions are disadvantageous, as there is
no large commercial city in the vicinity,
which could snppy materials, ship cerpon.
tors, scamcn, rggers, &c. and because
these positions could be suddenly attack
ed by an enemy, without having the means
at hand, to garrison effectively the fortii-
cations. In answer to these i'll founded
objections we would state, that if naval
depot should be established near this place,
it would draw towards il, as a matter Of
course, all the materials, mechanics, and
supplies which would be wanted. AS to
sailors for tho service of the United States,
we nre so situated that they could be pro-
cured from Boston, Now York, Providence
New Bedford, and the smaller sea ports
our vicinity, as easily as at New York.
Even in the latter place, seamen are not so
abundant, but what the ships Of war at tho
Navy Yard, near Brooklyn, are supplied
with crews enlisted in distant places.
The population in this vicinity is such
that considerable force could be soon col.
lected, if il were necessary to garrison the
lortilications which are now constructing {:
but it is wholly improbable that the gov
ernment, in time Of war, would leave them
without efficient garrisons, especially ifthe
establishment recommended by the Navy.
Board, should then exist in our waters
Besides, the Navy Commissioners are the
least likely, Of all men else, to recommend
for n great depot, position which could
not be effectively defended against the at
tack of an enemy.
To the country, naval station in onr vi,
cinlty could not fail TO be servicable: and
so it would doubtless be to Newport but
the advantages which would accrue from,
such an establishment would scarcely com
ponsaie us for the change in character
which it would necessarily introduce,
And although business and activity might
give more animation TO our streets, and
some few Of our townsmen might grow the
Weather, these slight benefits would be
more than counteroctcd by the moral tani
thNt would be inflicted, by transforming
quiet and contcnted population into one
