IMPROPER INTER FERENCT,

IMPROPER INTERFERENCE
We publish to day from the Providence Rhode ISL
and) American, article exposing hret but apnrn-
pirate terms the improper internedd!np of the Uni
ted St1tes offers in the recent election t:e,e. TIE
overwhelming vote which the patriotic people of that
industrious sndpuhic spirited state uven to Messrs
Burges ami Fearce, perhaps the severcst comment
which coitd be made upon the INDIGENOUS course pir-
sned by those Individuals, in enlcavoriug by mems
OF their official stat IONS to confront the free exercise of
the elective franchise. It. is the more ulnardnnaby-,
that the President should permit his s,rbordnat,s to
thus obtrude themselves upon the rights e. mmuniirs
ofthe people, after he had made such parade in his
INAUGURAL speech about the ''nbuses" which "hnd
brought the pgtrDRnge of the EcdryrI ftO,prumeuE
into conflict ,Cuh the feeon, Of elections" This ar-
sion no less in1ecate than unjust towards
Mr.. Adams, and his adr,inist ration, and was so
viewed by Impartial men at the time. The suisse
quent conduct of General Jackson and his admin
lStration proves conclusivey that it was thrown
ont only blind to put the people off their
guard, tor almost every appointment which has
been made since then, has been so made = pro-
duce political effect and operate favourAbly to those
in power, in all state elections Printers and Edi-
tors have been bought and sold, and their presses
Subsidized with the public treasure unccrcmon;-
ousJy asthough the former so many cornmodi-
ties OftTafc, and the latter had been placed in the
hands of the government for purposes Of ''bribeyy

TIE SECRETARY'S BRIBE.-Mr. Secretary
Ingham, meanly attempted IN influence the vote of
the town of Providence by ,cjtbotn the appropria-
ton OF $500, made by Mr.. Adams, for the Marine
Hospital. Ills letters on the subject holds out the
idea, which cannot be concealed that if We would
send Jackson Representatives to Congress, he would
pay debt, and let have the money he I'M
Justly detains. The town of Providence has given
Mr.. Ingham real RhOde Island answer,--689 votes
for the he did wish elected and 90 votes for
the men To- whom he would have paid over the Hos
piial money! MIR. Ingham should study human ma
Iture little deeper before he attempts to bribe OF
Ntreateu Rhode Island.

| President Jackson, in his inaugural expressed
great horror at the interference of the u States gov
eminent in elections, and his supporters camo-
rous on this point during the administration of Mr.
Adams. Now they in power, they begin 10 prac-
tice, and we have had little sample of it III this
state, during the election of representatives. Mr
Ingbams gross attempt to influence the votes Of thi:
town. we have before alluded to. and also, the fact
that the Postmaster Of thistown has been permitted
