seventy reformers, and Of not more

The case of Judge Marshall is one of
the most extraordinary ever known or
heard of in the annals of Surgery. Ole
of the surgeons present at the operation
has stated to us, that six hundred forma-
tions of gravel, from the size of large
peas, down to that Of small shot, taken
from the venerable sufferer, were actual
ly counted; and that the whole nnmber
probably exceeded thousand. The
case was so difficult, that instead of two
or three minutes, the operation was ne.
cessariiy protraciod to above twenty.
Not groan escaped his lips, nor was
there percep tible twinge of muscle.
The wonder is, that, subject to so formi-
dahle a-complaint, the constitution ofthe
patient has,not long since sunk under it,,
or his intellectual ylgor been impaired.

BUSINESS IN Observation-Disclosures III
this town at present may be called brisk.
The commercial interest has enough
to do, and is very active. A merchant
has named to us that there are now lying
at the wharves in this town and beloNging
in this port, three ships, three barques,
forty two brigs, and between forty and
fifty schooners and sloops; nearly all of
which are loading or unloading. Three
of the above brigs are receiving another
deck, and two new ones are on the stocks
nearly ready to be launched. The ma
rinc railway is almost constantly occu-
pied with vessels on it for repairs. The
same gentleman informs us that notwith-
standing the numerous and extensive
wharves in town it sometimes difficult to
find an opportunity to land cargo.

We received the n. Y. Courier s. En-

tract the following intelligence
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1831-11-01
From the !Mmlius Nv. " Repository.


Our political course is already under
stood. But while we profess and ayow
ourselves the admirers of Andrew Jack
son, we speak sf him in his political ca
pacity as the faithful administrator of
the laws of the land, and the devoted SER
want Of free and happy people. We
shall idolizc no man worship no party !:
but as long as the great republican party
pursue such measures and principles as
it now Processes, SO long we pledge our
selvestu its support, and nolonger. The
success ar failure Of any government,
depends not SO much on men as meas
ures and when we coSfess our attach
ment to many eminent and worthy men,
we owe stronger attachment to those
public measures which promise future
utility TO tho nation. But in order To re-
duce to practice such measures, suitable
men are to be selected, who have given
us some guaranty of their integrity and
ability. The powers, responsibilities,
and consequences which accompany the
chief magistracy of sovereign nation,
require on the part of the people n cor
responding watchfulness and vigilance,
upon which qualities alone we believe to
depend the permanency of our Institu-
stions. In whom then shall we confide so
important trust' This is great ques-
tion Ia question which concerns every
man in the community--a question that
must soon be answefed by the voic" of
tic nation! The people nre now pros
porous and happy--the laws faithfully
and impartially administered, the Con-
,stitution dcfendcdin its original purity
domestic manufactures encouraged and
protccted-avarce and ambition checked
and chained down on the '.soil Of their
growth"--the public debt lessencd sew
cral million---monopolie attacked and
exposed with their Hydra heads and
mammoth teeth, aud foreign negotiations
terminated in the proper adjustment of
all those difficulties, which have so long
bahied the policy -four European am
bassadors, and threatened eventually 10
leave us the fearful alternative of war, or
ignorninious compliance. =

and sun so cheering to the prospects Of
our enferprising citizens, who can wish a
change of atmosphere who can desire
the cold and chilling blasts Of Autumn,
or the piercing winds of a desolatc win
ter That there are foes to tho govern
rnent, cannot be denied; and that it is
tho duty Of every patriot, to maintain
with jealousy the principles Of his fore
fathers, need not be repeated. We be-
love that undei the existing state of
things, the prosperity Of our country de-
ponds upon the reelection Of Gen. Jack
son; that he alone will guide the bark of
state, safely through the. quicksands of

Since the nomination of Mr.. Lumpkin
as a candidate for the office of Governor
Uf Georgia, and particularly SINCE his e.
lection, the views Of that gentleman in
relation to the national administration
have been made subject of newspaper
speculation and comment. Some Jour
nails, unfriendly to the executive, having
sought to spread an impression that Mr..
Lumpkinisop opposed to General Jackson's
reelection, and desirous that Mr.. Cal
.houn should be the candidate for the
next term, the subjoined letter has been
published to- refnte the unfoundcd impu-
tation. The categorical declaration pf
the views Of the writer which il contains,
must set the matter right in the minds
of such as have been misled by the asscr-
lions Of the opposition papers.

MONROE, 10Th Sept. 1881.
Gentlemen :--report has reached me
nils. morning that political combination,
.wI,0 undersake to dictate the people of
Georgia, and PROSTATE the fair standing
.0f.every man who refuses to yield to their
mandates, have new arrangement in
preparation to misrepresent and do me
great injustice. The story is, they are
attempting to make it appear that l am
-unfriendly to Gen. Jackson--nnd that |
Jam united with Mr.. Calhoun against him.
fthcy are thus engaged, it completes the
rinfamy and disgrace of combination of
the xaost daring Office seekers, that ever
existed ia n civilized community.
You know that speak the truth when
i affirm, that, from the commencement
ofthe disagreement between the Presi-
.dent and Vice President, tn the present
moment, l have uniformly, in private
and public, said, we must sustain Jack
son; the interest Of Georgia and the I'm
ION will be best promoted by h.s're-elcc-
'tion.
My friends and foes know that have
,hcer faithful in my support of the Presi-
dent. lie knows it. MIR. Calhoun.knows
1T. How can it be possible, that The re-
vilers Of Jackson--his eleventh hour
.friends-selfishf hfriends--can now rise up,
and expect 10 profit, by pushing me out
. of my own stand, and placing themselves
in my track.
They must presume upon t!fe igno-
rance Of The people. I'rejy upon their
virtue and intelligence.
Respectfully, yours,

which he says:--" The loss of one whose
absence is insupportable, has led my

leave behind; and that may not occa-
