TTHE House OF Representstiyss. BY rcso.
Il luton Of the 4th Of May. 1880, directed
the Secretary Of the Treasury % collect and
10 the House, such infosms'icn,
and report his, views on the same, ~, IN bic
opinicn, may be useful and important to Con.
gfess, in enacting SeGulations Tor the naviga-
ion OF. steam tIdats or steam vcssels, with
view to guard against. the dangers arising
from the 6ufstlng IL their boilers.
Such measures were accordingly taken, o.
were thought best calculated TO obtain. the
REQUISITE information. Bot, although soms
highly Interesting and valuable communica.
tions have been received, the Department hss
not succ eeded in collecting the facts sufficient
to enable il TO fulfll the directions Of the
House. .s ,.
In consideration, ihersfofe. .ofthe, difficulty
of obtaining the requisite information, by sny
means within the power Of the Department,
and OF the deep interest which the community,
and more especially those engaged in steam
navigation have in the subject, IL is thought
best 10 make this public application to all who
may be able, and are disposed 10 promote the
benevolent, object Of the resolution. 49,.
Accidents like those, which il is the desire
Of the House to prevent, have, unfortunately,
been so numerous, that many persons Will
have il in their power 10 state the causes and
circumstances Of such. casualties; and these
collected from various parts OF the Union,
cannot fail to be highly useful. -
With view to assist in giving that infor.
nation a precise and explicit character, tho
following queries were prepared:--
Il is not intended, however, to confine il TO
tho points presented 70 them, or to the form
Of communication which they may seem ts
indicate. On the contrary, the Department
will bo happy to receive any nformatioH with
in the scope Of the yesolution, and, conimuni.
Gated in such manner 40 the writer may be
pleased to employ. d,
II is desirable that communications on this
subject should be transmitted BY the first Of
December, or early as may be thereafter.

RHoDE-1sLAND ADvocATE.-A paper
with this title is now published at the
village of Kingston, Soutb-Kingstown,
by MIR. James J. Brenton. The paper
will support the administration of Presi-
dent Jackson, and from the specimen of
talent exhibited in the first number, we
anticipate a powerful auxiliary in the
cause of democracy. We extend the
hand of fellowship to our new cotempo-
rary, and wishh him success commensara
with the prosperity of our country, and
its present wise and efficient administra-
ton.

For the Rhode. Island Republican.


Mr.. READ-The Unitarians differ wide
iy from each other, in their opinions Of
Jesus Christ. Some suppose him to be
any thing but Deity and some that he is
merely man: more enlightened as leach
er and blameless as an example than any
other, yet not wholly without human ig-
norance, and human infrmity and sin.
The extract from publication on the
subject, in your paper Of Oct. 25th, ar
CUES against his deity, on the mystery of
the Trinity. No one, who believes this
doctrine, adopts the expressions Of that
publication. They say, the doctrine is
mysterious, but admit no statements re-
specting it that are contradictory. TAX
ing the scriptures as the rule of their faith,
they believe there is one God. Attend
ingto the representation given of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit, they perceive that
TO each Of them are ascribed divine at
tributes, denoting divine nature ofwhich
they partake. From the demonstration
of the two propositions, that there is one
God, and that there are three, who pos
sess the attributes of Deity, the conclu-
sion necessarily follows, that three are
united in one God. This union is mys.
terry they do not attempt to explain, but
that it implies no contradiction in itself,
they offer as proof, that there is no
contradiction in the manifestation of the
Three as divine in their operations.
The doctrine is the oreimportant, as
it involves the atonement for sin, as a
ground Of pardon. Nothing is more ex-
plicitly asserted in scripture, nor more
simple in meaning, than that sin is par
doned by the blood of Christ. No other
construction can be given to the first e.
nunciation of him, by the Baptist John,
Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh
away the sin Of the world ~ and the ex-
preston Of the Apostle, that "the blood
of Christ cleansetb from all SIM" Christ
did not suffer in his divine nature, for his
blood cleanseth from sin; YET the union Of
the divine nature to the human was ne
cessary to give value to his sufferings.
In this, all christian denominations, ex-
cept the unitarian, are agreed; and found
on il the hope Of pardon. For this rea-
son, they all decline fellowship with u
nitarians, in religion.

NEW-YORKELECTION.-Thea an
nual election for Assembly-men, eight
Senators, and county officers, was hold
en- in this great State on the 7th, 9Th and
9th of the present month. An event of
this nature, at this time, in the largest
State in the Union excites no ordinary
interest among those Of our fellow-citi-
!. zcns who are not wholly Indifferent to the
prospects of the several candidates for
the next Presidency. When such States
as New-York and Pennsylvania speak,
il Is in the voice Of thunder. Situated as
they are, in the heart of the Union, and
turning as they please the balance ofpow-
.sr between the North and the South, the
East and the West, it is not surprising
that their political movements are never
without decided influence upon the fate
Of parties, however widely diffused over
the extended limits Of this great Repub-
lie. The opposition may boast of their
victories in such States as Rhodc-Island
apd Delaware, they are welcome to all
the fruits they yield, SO long as they do
not effect, in any injurious degree, the
great principles Of national policy which
the administration of Gen. Jackson is de-
tsrmined to cherish; and Of the sound
ness of which no surer evidence can be
given than the overwhelming majorities
given IN their support by the great States
above mentioned. Last month we were
grati6ed with the intelligence that the

ty is upwards of 1000 and in the Coun-

that the two former States containing a
population of a millions of citizens, equal
