S,acidal Clab.--Dr. Casper, in an ar
ticle in the I" Revue Britanniquc," states
that there existed some time ago, in Prus
sia, club. of suicides, composed of six
persons, who not only vowed to destroy
themselves, but also 10 make proselytes.
They did not succeed in the latter re-
spect, but all gave proofs oftheir own sin
csrity. The last Of them blew out his
brains IN 1917. The same writer states
that similar club is reported to have ex-
listed not long ago in Paris. This was
composed of twelve members, one Of
whom was to be selected every year for
self destruction.

The persecution ofthe Baptist Mission
aries at Jamaica is very severe. One Of
the slaves has been whipped in public, for
praying, and that too, with the consent OF
his master. The newspapers, there, TEEN
with the n,oSt yindictive opposition to the
missionaries. But we live, it is said, in
an enlightened age, and the press is said
to be the palladium ofliberty.

The 18th anniversary Of the BrisaoI
Fsmals Charitable Society, was celebr,-
ted on Thursday, the 7th inst. and On
Sunday evening last, discourse was de-
'livered before the Society, At the Mstho-
dist Meeting House, by the Rev. Mr..
B,dwell. Owing 10 the frequent de-
mands for assistance during the past win
ter, the funds ofthis Society have become
nearly exhausted, and they are Obliged
to look to the generous and wealthy, for
assistance. Shall they look in vain; they
who employ their time in making clothes
for the sick and destitute, and in seeking
amongst the babitations ofthe wretched,
for objects deserving their charity p
Hundreds of dollars are sent from the
town Of Bristol, to civilize the heather Of
other countries, while we neglect the
calls ofcharity which arise from numer-
GUS sbodessof want, beneath our very
eyes. The poor We bave always with us.a
Whatever splendor and fame may attach
to public or national institutions for char
table purposes, yet we may be assured,
that the benevolence which relieves the :
necessities, alleviates the misfortunes and
mitigates the wretchedness OF those with
in our circle of society, is both more USE
fdl and more acceptable to Him who il
the great Benefactor Of mankind. Tho
Ladies ofthe Charitable Society are en-
titled to the highest decree Of eulosium,
for the industry they have practiced and
for the judgment and discrimination they
have displayedin bestowing the product
ions Of their labor. The calls of the
slothful and the vicious have been disre-
garded, while the pangs and mortal suf.
ierings Of many virtuous but unfortun-
ate victim of want and disease have been
assuaged BY the kind munifcence Of
these benevolent Ladies, School at the
expense and under the direction Of this
Society, where hundreds Of children have
been instructed, which must otherwise
have grown up in ignorance and vice.
They have clothed poor and ignorant chill
dren in decent apparel, and have encour-
aged them to attend the various Sabbath
Schools, in our Churches. Alsrge mum
Der of our people who are rolling in luxu-
~ and wealth, know not Of the misery
which surrounds thsss, and consequently
are not aware of the utility and good
leeds Of the Bristol Female Charitable So
;;efy. Let those who have the ability to
relieve the distresses, and who have hearts
% sympathise with the misfortuues ofthsir
ellow beings, inquire into the objects
and management Of this Society, and they
will be satisfied that it deserves their as
'istance, and tho encouragement and pat
ronage of the public.

WARREN, SATURDAY, OCT. le

WARREN, SA1 CAD-,
err We said last week that Rhode
Island needs Constitution. We wish to
repeat the saying this week. We know
that the majority Of treeholders are oppos-
ed 10 such measure, or rather we know
that attempts to obtain one have proved
abortive, and from this it may be judged
that the majority are opposed to it ; for
the majority Of freeholders in Rhode-lsl-
and, can do almost any thing they please,
unless they should really wish to take
,1hsscap from uncle Sans head, or like
sOSr sister South Carolina, spit at his great
guns. We know that petitioners for a
correction ofevils in our government, at
ter laboring hard and spending their time
and talents to write memorials, fitting to
Be received by the honorable body" in
the sequel oftheir labors, derived no 9TH
Or satisfaction than that of having the pro
ducts Of their Iucubrations, thrown on or
under the table. We also know, that our
good yeomonry have a certain antipathy
towards the adsge, (" old things must be
done away "yet, in defiance of all this
knowledge, we ventuie to assert. our oPin-
ion, that this State ought to have a Con-
stitutiop.
We ask any candid man to look at this
subject and tell US if it would be disad-
vantage. Itmsy be said that we are do
ing well enough now, and an excitement
20 obtain u Constitution will only be at
tended by political broi, without in the
end, should a constitution be obtained,
producing corresponding advantage !;
but we know not why constitution might
not bs adopted without any great war IN
politics, and we are satisfied, that had we
q iudicious constitution, it would be a
great advantage, without any possible dis
advantage. What, we ask, would the
United States do without Constitution :
Il il not obvious that uncle Sam would
have his hands full Of difficulty to manage
his family And the Same things which
are applicable to the United States in this
case, are applicable to seperate State,
with proportionate allowance for the diff
srence in the extent of their territory and
<he number Of Inhabitants !; 80 that Rhode
Island being small, and the number sub
iect to her government being also small,
the evils arising from her want Of con-
sthution are not so sensibly experienced );
still it is fact that there are evils, which
may be corrected by Constitution.
