since, whenever ! have had the pleasure
to mingle with them. And could !, upon
this occasion, have found it in my power
to attend their deliberations, and to have
contributed my humble services to the
promotion Of the public veal, l should
be much gratifed.
l have great confidence in their pru-
dence and integrity, and have little doubt
but that in these moments of peril, they
will watch over their potion of the Re-
public with such honest ardor as to save
it from harm. When | recollect that
some Of the revolutionary patriots of '7S
arc still with you, and yet in the scenes
of busy life, am proud to believe the
young and ardent youths, who are rising
up as the ornaments Of their country, will
profit from the examples of those who
know from experience the horrors and
calamities OF intestine war; who have
seen neghbor butcher neighbor, for no
other cause than difference Of politica al
opinions.
There are some forebodings of like G.
vents at the present time, which rejoice
to believe are lessening, from the cir
cumspectlon Of the great mass of honest
citizens who live in the country, breathe
purer uir, and remain untainted by the
pcstiicrous politics of town and village
lounsers, who, having little else to do,
make prey of their neighbours fame,
to prevent their own from sinking into
fOrgetlulness. l am happy to believe
that your village is not embraced in this
character. They are all men Of bust
ness. Ifyou have dissensons, they are
of more honorable cast.

prospect before us. l believe the doc

The great mass of this great community
are honest. They are also sensible ;and,
by the blessing of Heaven, but little ver-
sed in the political intrigues Of the day.
They seek truth, and if once they are
correctly informed, they invariably do
justice, both to their neighbors and their
country. Inform these men correctly, 4
you have nothing to fear. They love
peace, they shun war, unless it be nee
essary for their own safety or their coun-

HE LIFE OF PHYsIcIAv.-Therc are
few medical men who will not be ready
to assent to the accuracy of the following
sketch. 1t is drawn by one, who is re D.
resented to have attained eminence in
the profession, but who is desirous of dis
suading his nephew from pursuing it.
"Of all professions, that Of medicine
is the most anxious, the most disgustful,
the most thankless Forced TO humor
the capricious, to soothe the irritable, to
persuade the headstrong; to mnge in
scenes which even familiarity cannot di-
vest of their loathsome ness; to feel the
gnawing of anxiety when fathers, hus-
bands, and brothers confide their dear
est interests to your skilI--still more.
when with the life Of your patient your
own reputation lies at stake--and then.
when all is done that man can do, to have
your services requited with a gruGging
hand, and unthanktul hear, such is the
life of physician! Nay, even in the
eyes OF those, who should know how to
appreciate your merits, you will find that
the discharge of the pecuniary debt can
GELS all obligation.--As if money could
repay such services as ours!--Remem-
Der Jeremy, | speak of the better (would
l could say the greaterD part of the pro-
iession; for, as for those whose only OBJ
Ject Is to earn living, who would draw
the last drop from the veins of their VIC
tim, could they but coin it into gold.
Nephew! quack you shall not be! 1
VIII bury you with this hand first!
"Believe me, this is no fanciinI pic
ture. If you have genius, if you be Of
an impatient temper, If your character be
proud and finely sensitive, / warn you

as concerns myself, | have no objections;
! am willing 10 instruct you; but weigh
wei what you do--lest you repent, when
repentance will avail you nothing.

PARTY PREJuDIcEs.--It is truly aston
'shing to witness the strange effect of par
ty politics upon the conduct of men, in
other respects honest and intelligent, and
disposed to act fairly. This thought has
been forced upon us in running over the
appointments of committees in the u. S.
Senate, by its presiding officer, Gen.
Smith. The General has conducted in
his appointments as though he was ig-

NEWPORT,R RI.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1881.

H In our last we published the Presi-
dents message; since then we have ta-
ken time to read the document over with
care and candor, 1t now affords us
much pleasure to say, that all things con-
sidered, the message is crcditablc to tho
Chief Magistrate of the nation, and
would have been much more so, had
there been left out of it some little indi-
rect boasting about the payment of an
unusual portion Of the public debt Gun
der my administration" as the President
has seen fit to express himself. Is it not
a notorious fact, within the ready concep-
ton Of the most ordinary mind, that un-
der THIS administration, just exactly as
much Of the public debt has been extin-
gushed, AND NO MORE, as would have
been paid of, had the government been
in any other hands. 1t must be confess
sed that, in this message Gen. Jackson
has exhibited considerable tact in escap-
ing from his former opinions relative to
the annihilation of the United States
Bank. The country and the Presidents
own ministry, are decidedly opposed to
his project for destroying that great ma
tlonal institution and Gen. Jackson,
therefore, with great wisdom, if not with
equal candor, in his message simply
tells the Congress, that he has hereto
fore given his views at large upon the
subject of the United States Bank, and
that he "deems it proper on this occasion
to leave it for the present to the investi-
CATION ofan enlightened people and their
representatives. Hero the President
was right, for they, THE PEOPLE, will take
proper care of that vitally interesting
subject.
The Report Of the Secretary of the
Treasury is highly interesting docu-
ment, and does great credit to the talent
ed head of that department. Mr.. Nc
Lane is clearly in favor of the United
States Bank his Report contains also,
strong and very powerful argument in
favor of the AMERICAN SYSTEM
What greater compliment than this could
Secretary Nc Lane haze paid HENRY
CLAY?
The Secretaries Of the War and Ma
Wy Department, and Postmaster General,
in their respective reports, make exhibits
highly fattcring and favorable a, to the
successful management of the various
trusts committed to their charge individ-
ually.
Is 1t not little surprising that the
President in his message should have
passed by altogether unnoticed, his early
and most devoted FRIENDs-the late Cn-
binct--the breaking of which few
months since, produced such an excite
mcnt throughout the country!

coarse prose writer.
