LACONICS.

On rejecting on all the frauds and decep.
tons that have succeeded in dipping mankind
1t is really astonishing upon how very small a
foundation an immense superstructure NAV be
raised. The solution of this may, perhaps, be
found in the axiom of the atomists; That there
must ever be a much greater distance between
nothing, and that which is least, than between
that which is least and the greatest
Those who worship God In a world so cor.
rupt as this we live in, have at least one thing
to plead in defence oftheir idolatry-the power
of their idol. 1t is true, that like other idols.
1t can neither move, nor see, nor hear nor feel,
nor understand; but, unlike other idols, it has
often communicated all these powers to those
who had them not, and annihilated them in
those who had. This idol can boast o two
pecnliariles; 1t is worshipped in all climates,
without single temple, and by all classes,
without n single hypocrite.
1t is not every man that can afford to wear a
shabby coat, and worldly wisdom dictates TO
her disciples the proprety of dressing some
what beyond their means, but of living within
them tor every one sees how we dress, but
none see how we live, except we choose TO let
them. But the truly great are, by universal
suffrage, exempt from these trammels. and NAV
live or dress as they please.
Sleep, the type of death, is also like tina,
which 1t typihes, restricted to the earth. II
flies from hell, and is excluded from heaven.
OF the professions it may be SAID, that sol.
dlers are becoming too popular, parsons too la
zy, physicians too mercenary, and lawyers too
powerful.
Most men abuse courters, and affect to des.
plse courts yet most men are proud of tho &C.
quainiance Of the one, and would be glad TO
live in the other.
OF method this may be said if we make i,
our slave, 1t is we'll, but it is bad if we are
slaves TO method A gentleman once told me
that he made it a regular rule to read fifty pa.
ges every day OF some author or other. and on
no account to fall short of that number nor to
exceed 1t. | silently set him down for a man

Deliberate with caution, but act with decs,

GENERAL AssEMBLY.-The proceed
ings of the Legislature as far down as
Thursday evening, will be found in the
preceding columns. All commune alton
between Greenwich, Providence land this
place, having been precluded by the late
snow storm, we have not been able to
procure detailed account of the doings
of the Assembly during the two last days
of the session. 1t. Governor Collins,
who left Greenwich on Saturday morn
ing, and arrived here on Monday by the
way of Providence, in packet, informs
us, that the Assembly was occupied all
day on Friday, in joint houses, in hearing
the Darlington petition argued respecting
the charter of some religious society in
that town, and adjourned at half past in
the evening, without taking any VOTE
The petition, it was thought, could not
be sustained. On Saturday morning the
bill for the Canal Bank, and the Globe
Bank, both in Providence, passed both
houses.
The storm was so severe that nothing
could leave Greenwich after / ! o'clock
on Saturday, and it is presumed the AS
scmbly adjourned from Saturday even
ing to Monday morning, as much un!in-
ished business was before it.

Snow SToRM.-On Saturday morning
last, about sunrise, it commenced snow
ing, and continued with little or no inter
ruption until Sunday night. The guam
tity of snow now on the ground is great
er than has been known in this quarter
for many years. The streets in town,
and adjacent roads arc literally blocked
up, and to such an extent as to prevent
the passage Of carriages of every de-
scrip,ion. Our citizens for two days past,
have been employed in endeavoring to
render the roads passablc.

To OUR ANTI-MAsoNIC PATRONS. The
article published in recent number OF
our paper, and copied from the Pawtuck-
ct Chronicle, respecting George Whca-
ton Aliens taking a lace veil from store
in Fall River, has been misunderstood
! by some of our anti-masonic friends, who
have already nearly approached to the
verge Of stopping our paper, in conse-
gucnce of its admission into our columns.
We were, we confess, not little sur
priscd that any intelligent subscriber OF
ours should be at loss to understand
the true meaning ofthe article, as it was,
by the author, intended to have been I'M
derstood. The editor of the Pawtucket
Chronicle very happily adverts to the O.
pinions entertained by anti-masons with
regard to the murder of Morgan, where
by all masons are denominated murder
ers because it is alledged masons murder
ed Morgan-aEd to show the inconsistent
cy and absurdity of such opinions and
pre- ejudices, he has very good naturedly
pronounced all anti-masons thieves be-
cause one of their anti-masonic brethren,
it is said, has been guilty of theft. The
article, we should presume, any intelli-
gent person could readily perceive, was
merely intended to show that the same
sort Of reasoning would be equally as JUS
tifable in the one case as the other As
respects George Wheaton Aliens pur-
loining lace veil, we have no faith in
the correctness of the charge-we have
no reason under heaven from the ac-
quantance we have had with him, to sup
pose that he would be guilty of such an
act; nor did we copy the article alluded
to with the view Of holding him up to the
world, because he was an anti-mason, as a
fclon-but because the comparisons and
differences there drawn, were so ingen-
iously established in relation to the pref
udices existing towards Masons s. mason
ry. We therefore hope those of our pat
rons, who are either little or much 'inclin-
ed to anti-masonry, will endeavor to keep
cool, as they may be assured, we have
not the least suspicion imaginable of Mei,'
genuine integrity.
