very Offices give weight to their opinions
abroad, and cause their views Of public
policy to be attributed to the state which
elects them.
You will perceive that, Of the candi-
dates nominated by this Convention, all,
who are named for Senators belong to
what is called the landed interest,-be-
ing not only landholders, as respects their
property, but personally and practically
FARMERS. We believe them to be ia
vorably known, not only to the members
of this Convention but to the citizens Of
this state generally, as gentlemen of
sound views and experience in public af-
fairs;-and Of such intelligence and in
tegrity as will cause them, in all ques-
tions on which they may be called to act,
to do complete justice to all interests and
to every class of their fellow citizens.
The gentleman now again nominated
for Lieutenant Governor, it will be recol-
lected, has been for many years past NOM
mated and supported for that Office by
all parties, but is now for the first time
rejected by the Convention which nom-
mates Mr.. Fenner for Governor. He is
rejected from the Fenner, or Jackson
Prox, for the avowed reason Jas stated
at the time) that he is not a Jackson man.
We believe the citizens Of this State will
not deem that to be disqualification, and
therefore again recommend him to your
suffragcs.
The merits Of Mr. ARNOLD, who is
nominated for the office Of Governor, are
so well known to all who have been con-
nccted with public affairs for several
years past, that, but for the purpose Of
preventing the effect Of misrcpre resentation
upon those who may not be personally
acquainted with him, we should not deem
il requisite to add any thing to the annup-
cia,ion Of his name. Even those who will
now, from party motives, become his OPP
ponents, have, upon important occasions,
in the Legislature and elsewhere, repeat
esIy and in unqualified terms borne pub
lie testimony to the purity, the integr'ty,
the candour and sound judgment OF his
public course in politics and in legisla-
ton. We believe him, in every respect,
to be deserving of the confidence of his
fellow citizens. lie has long been in

ADDRESS

OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN CONVENTION TO THE
FREEMEN OF THE STATE OF
RHODE-ISLAND AND PROVI-
DENCE PLANTATIONS.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
The members ofthis Convention repre-
senting their respective towns according
to established republican usage, have,
with entire unanimity, agreed to nominate
the above named gentlemen as suitable
candidates for the Offices respectively de-
signated with their names, and now, cor
daily and with deep and conscientious
solicitude for the honor and welfare of
the State, recommend them to you for
your support at the ensuing election -
We know them to be innexibly attached
to the great principles of Constitutional
right, and Of .Nat;anal and Stale policy
upon which depend the prosperity, the
importance, even the safety, ofthis State
To those principles which, so long as
they are sustained, will continue to sus-
tain the VALUE OF YOUR SOIL, and yield
the just REWARDS OF YOUR INDusTRY:-
principles whi..., at the last election of
Representative to Congress, you en-
phatically proclaimed to be yours.
Your voice was distinctly heard and
could pot be mistaken even by those who
,endeavorcd to defeat your wishes in that
election. We believe your opinions on
the great questions which were involved
in that election remain still unchanged
The triumphant and unprecedented ma
jority by which you then asserted your
favorite principles ought, at least in this
state, to have secured them from further
assault. But they are now, even here, o.
gain assailed by the restless activity Of a
party which, throughout the union, oppo-
ses them by every art of power, patron
age end prescription, md, in this state,
seeks its objects by new combinations &
coalitions against The repeatedly expressed
wiH d The people.
We believe It to be the right ofthe
People to have their will respected
their favorite and true policy supported
their individual interests and prosperity
oherished,-by those who hold the pub
lie Offices derived fromthcir gift;-cspec-
tally by those who hold the highest, whose
