"Our political existence as an indof
pendent Government is no longer pro-
blematical, and Venezuela can proudly
boast that the sacrifices she has made
since the year 1910, were not only di-
rected towards her emancipation from
the yoke of Spain, but were likewise
levelled against tyranny and despotism,
by whomsoever they may have been ex-
ercised. We have made great progress
in support of the sacred cause of liberty,
and we will defend this blessing, even
at the sacrifice of our lives.
can army of 10000 men has been
raised, which is now on the Tachira, to
resist any attempt at invasion, on the
part of the Tyrant of this force, Cen
eral MarinO is commander-in-Ch Chief,
assisted by Generals Menagas and Ma
zero. General Gomez has been order
ed to the command of Maracaibo, and
the Battalion Bojaca, which Mon
ltillo sent to attack MaracaibO, has passed
over to us without firing shot.
"During these events Bolivar assem-
bled his Congress in Bogota, and for the
sixth time played his admired farce of
resignation, which, Of course, was not
accepted. The affairs of Venezuela
were immediatly discussed, and Bolivar
was authorized, al all erents to preserve
the integrity of territory but previously
to adopting coercive measures, a COM
mittec was appointed, composed of Gen
cral Sucre, the bishop of Santa Martha
and Garcia del Rio,4 to treat with Pacz
an order was issued TO prohibit the entry
of the committee into the Venezuelan
territory, and General Marine, Martin
Tobar,f and Andres Narvarte, were
nominated to proceed to the lines and i'll
form the Committee, that the acknowl-
cdgment of the independence of Vene-
zuela must be the basis Of any treaty,
together with disavowal of Bolivar's
authority; and that Congress alone, in
which the sovereign authority resided,
was the only channel through which any
stipulations or agreement could be effect
ed.
"Such is the state Of this country
Public spirit is at its height: we have
powerful army, enthusiasm, and the sa-
cred cause of liberty on our side, and
we fear nothing"
This gentleman resided e.. some time
in Paris, and there commenced the
scheme of monarchy. Shortly after his
return to Bogota he published a pam
phlet in favor of monarchy and selected
Bolivar as King.
+ A gentleman well known for his
firm adherence to the liberty of his
country: prescribed by Bolivar for his
efforts in this cause, he has sacrificed
his fortune and was banished from Ven
ezuela he is one of the few men who
has not been mistaken in the tyrant's
character and views.

The Mammoth Ok, raised by Mr..
VIM. Bateman on his farm in the neck,
at the South-cnd of this Island, was XII
led on Saturday afternoon last, by Chas.
4 Wanton +. Sherman, the purchasers.
The neat weight of him was as follows.
VIZ +; fore quarters $50, 56l-hind quar-
tiers, 459, 470-tallow 24l-hide $50,
total 2430 lbs. The OK was seven
years old and weighed when alive 5000
lbs. He is said to have been the largest
OK ever raised in Rhode Island. We
are glad to find that the beef has found
aready sale among our citizens, although
at pretty advanced price and we hope
the industrious young gentlemen by
whom the OK was purchased, will be
amply compensated for their praise
worthy endeavors TO please the public,
and that the public will always be equal
ly alive to encourage domestic industry
and laudable enterprise. Mr.. Batcman
is entitled to great credit for the dispo-
sltlon he has evinced with regard TO the
sale of this OK. We understand that he
had several opportunities to dispose of
him out of the town, but declined solely
from desire to crafty the taste Of our
own towns people.

ELECTION DAY.

This day the General Assembly of the
State will convene in this town, for the
purpose of organizing the State Govern
ment for the ensuing political year. AT
10 o'clock, the Governor, Lieut.-G
crnor, and Senate, and members of the
House, etc. will proceed from Towns
ends Coffee House to the State House,
under the escort ofthe Artillery Compa-
ny, Col. Peleg Clarke, and the lndepen-
dent Volunteers commanded by Lieut..
VIM. Lyon, captain elect. After the re-
turns from the several towns are received,
Committee will be appointed to count
the proxies, and the Assembly will then
adjourn to meet at some time in the alter
noon to hear their repor.-This duty we
are somewhat apprehensive the Commit
tee will find difficult to accomplish as
early as usual, owing to the great varie-
ty Of proxies. The uncertainty in which
the result of the election of Senators re-
mains will probably bring around us
great number of eXpectants;-and we
shall be thronged with ,rould be Judges
Observation-Disclosures -
Gencrals-Colonels,- Sc. sc. If the
friends Of the present administration are
really elected, it can be by very small
majority, although sufficient to bring re-
proach upon the friends of the past adj
ministration for their reckless indiffer-
ence and negligence. Ifevery man had
been punctual, and promptly performed
his duty, we should not at this time, been
under any apprehensions that Rhode-Is-
land had deserted her principles Ifthe
Jackson Senate is elected, as we before
observed, it must be by small majority
only-and we shall perhaps escape any
very severe degree of reform for one
year; but uthaving .ascertained their strength
by the end ofthe year, we may aller the
next election, calculate that the search
ing operation will commence, and what
ever is valuable i'll our present system be
overthrown, if not dcstroyed-our SUI
preme Contour free school system
sc. SC.
Il There have been some changes in the
members Of the House of Representa-
tiSes--nonc, however, we think, more to
be regretted than that which occasions
the loss of N. F. Dixon, Esq. to that
body.-He has for many years been an
able and faithful representative of the
town of Westerly, and truly for our own
part, we had not supposed that the town
afforded men gilmore experience in legis-
lation-greater soundncss in politics.
more uprightness of conduct, or weight of
character, than Mr.. Dixon.
/ From the manner in which Election
week is generally consumed, we pre-
sumo but little business other than the
election of civil and military officers will
be acted on during the session, and in
connexion with this subject, we beg leave
to express a hope, that other towns, our
own in particular, profting by the expe-
rience of the town of Providence, will
appoint no more Justices than are actu-
ally necessary to a discharge of all the
business that falls within their jurisdic-
ton. The universal satisfaction felt in
the present Justices Court of Providence,
assures us that an improved Court might
be appointed here, and would in the end,
if not Immediately, give equal satislac-
ton.
