CONSUMMATE NOTIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN WISDOM!

A meeting of Notionals was held in
Providence on Saturday the 18th inst,
under .falSe colors, denominaiing them
selves Farmers, Merchants, Mechanics,
and Manufacturers. The notional Gov
ernor Arnold presided, who has taken a
notion, that the President in his last mes
sage to Congress, took notion to recon-
mend IA total prostration Of all laws OPP
Grating as protection to National In
dustry. How his. EXCELLENCY
come to take such notion, against the
plain and obvious language of the Presi-
dent, we take notion it is hard to con-
lecture; unless his EXCELLENCY'S
notion was the result of inspiration: be
that as it may, the Notional Republicans,
who met on that occasion, came together
with the same notions, probably it was
only the Goveror's notion reflected on
their notion. AT any rate the meeting
took notion to appoint'twenty five del
egates only,for the whole State of Rhode
Island. Very modest.) The leading no.
tional members took a notion to appoint
The whole delegation out of the notional
gentlemen of the Notional Republican
party; and although gentlemen of DIFF
ferent political notion were nominated,
equally attached to the protective system,
the chairman took notion to become
hard of hearing, and finally stone deaf,
until some Notionat Republican took a no
tion to nominate a Notional Republican !;
then as if the hand of PROVIDENCE
directed, the chairman was instantaneous
ly restored to his hearing in the left ear !;
but it is feared he will never recover the
use of his rights Twenty-Five delegates
having been appointed, a bright thought
came across the notion of some leading
members of that notional body That as
nearly all the twenty five delegates cleo
ted, were modestly chosen from the Great
Notional Republicad City, it would he a
good notion to compliment the rest ofthe
state with the honor ofbeing thought wor-
thy to furnish a few candidates, such as
might be trusted with the secrets oftheir
political notions; and thus had the good
luck to obtain four out of five, whose no
tions chimed with their notions, one only
of different political notion, having been
smuggled in to the great modification of
the II. Island Grand Royal Arch Notion
al Republican Fraternity.-Thus we see
that the notional Republicans of r. Is
land have elected only thirty delegates,

ion should each take notion 10 send nm
equal proportion of their numbers to the
convention, the Grand total of the Grand
Notionat Convention, would according to

anthracite iStoye for the Poor.-Every
benevolent visiter of the late interesting
Exhibition of the Franklin Institute,
must have been gratified to witness a
simple and cheap Coal stove, &c. depos-
tied by Mr.. Steinhauer, corner of Twelfth
and Market streets, designed for the use
of large class Of persons who have
hitherto been deprived of the safety,
comfort, convenience, and economy re-
sul,ing from the use of anthracite as a
fuel.
This apparatus consists of furnace
or cylender of sheet iron lined with fire
clay, cast iron moveable cover, and n
CRATE adapted to burning small or ches-
nut coal: Over the furnace may be
placed, large or small kettle for boiling
clothes, or for cooking, or the cover may
be put on, and it is then adapted to heat
ing kettle, flat-irons, or may be used
as "a grIdle for baking cakes.
An elbow joint of pipe connects the
furnace with sheet iron circular oven,
through which the products of combus-
ton pass, and from thence are conveyed
to the chimney with any required length
of pipe.-Some persons have objected to
exposing the meat to the products of
combustion, but it is believed by compe-
tent judges that meat thus cooked is bet
ter than when done or smothered in a
close oven, and experience comedies
with this opinion. The oven being per-
petually heated is always ready for use,
and as well adapted to warming the u
partment.
One ton and half of fine coal costing
81 so will last six months, using it Ia
hours each day, or less than three cents
per day, or the fire may be kept in dur
ing the night by covering it with ashes,
at very little additional expense. The
price Of the stove, pipe, pans, &c. is 50

OLD MAIDS. ! love an old maid;-I do
not speak Of an individual, but of The species.
Il use the singular number, as speaking Of
a sngularity in humanity. An old maid is
not merely an antiquarian, she is an antiquity;
not merely record Of the past, but the very
past itself; she has escaped great charge,
and sympa,hlzes not in the ordinary mutation
of mortality. She inhabts little eternity

Of the chapter to the end. do not like to
hear her called Mistress, as is sometimes the
practice, for that looks and sounds like the
resignation of despair, voluntary extinction
of hope. do not know whether marriages

they are, but am almost sure that old maids
are. There is something about them

NOVEL MODE OF "GoING TO WAR;" The
vehicle in which the Duke of Orleans and
Nemours took their departure from Paris
for the field of battle, was of a very un-
couth construction, and certainly not
much like the equipage which English
Dukes Royal would have put their bodies
and baggage into, though, probably, far
more appropriate. 1t is an immense ma
chine; something like an omnibus, and
was drawn by six horses, three abreast.
1t is divided into three compartments;
the first of which was occupied by the
Dukes and their Aids-de-Camp; the Sec
ond formed bedroom, and the third
was kitchen, which contained n SER
want of all work, and very modest set

she told the black men that if they wan

The NATIONAL DEBT. We are inform
ed that, in recent correspondence be-
tween the Secretary Ofthe Treasury and
the President of the U. S. Bank, it is sta
ted the whole debt of the United States
on the first of January next, will be less
than twenty five millions of dollars.
The United States own seven millions of
the stock of the Bank, which at the pres
ent rate would produce upwards of eight
millions, and if converted to this purpose,
would reduce the debt to about sixteen
millions. Besides this fund, there will be
in possession of government at the peri
cd above mentioned, twenty millions in
bonds, the whole ofwhich it is further sta
ted, not only the Bank but individuals
offer to discount. The United States,
therefore, possess the means of paying off
the whole debt at any time they please |!
When this has been done, the ordinary
annual expences of the government will
require only ten or eleven millions, while
the revenue, under existing regulations
will be upwards of twenty five millions.
