M. akinson,

.Nr. HthnS0n,
You will obige several subscribers by
publishing the following extracts from
/ Calendars centennial discourse, which
though written in a quaint style lis yet in
tcrcstng and instructive. This discourse
was delivered March "a, 1893, and tho
the production of former age, is in fact
the only history of our state. If you
should grant our request, we trust, that
you will CRAFTY your readers, and carry
home to the tiresldc of our citizens, the
knowledge of many entertaining facts. -
1t is but Justice to look back to the times
of our fathers to note down their deeds,
and to transmit them to poctcrity. The
rudcst nations have done this. Where
scul pture has been wanting, the unchis-
elcd stone has marked the grave of the
warrior or consccratcd the spot mcmora-
bic for the heroic achievements of Patri-
otism. In the darkest periods Of Ma
tons history, the bard has selected
some deed Of daring, and invested it with
bold and striking imagery. Viewing
them among barbarians, reverence Cor
ancestry, it would be natural to suppose,
that this high sentiment would become
stronger, as intellect advances and as the
nobler attributes Of humanity are more
perfectly developed. But the neglect,
which has, heretofore, been shown to the
history Of our state, would seem to con-
tradict the natural inference. We be-
lievc, however, that Rhode Islanders are
still awake to the virtues of their ances-
tors, that they still recall with pride the
dauntless enterprises of Williams, and of
Coddington. And there are peculiar re a.
sons, why VIC should pcrpetuatc the mem
ories of the founders of this state. They
were the ornaments of their age. Who
can look back upon Williams, and view
him, in an age Of persecution, as the
fearless champion of civil, and religious
liberty, without feeling some reverence
for the man, some sympathy in his mis-
fortunes? Who can contemplate him en-
gagged in the highest exertions of philan-
hropy ,traversing wilderness and seek
ng to meliorate tho condition of the ma
lives, without having some distinct con-
ccption of what is great in human action?
We need not dwell on the character of
our fathers. 1t needs no establishment
The plain recital of their deeds is elo-
Quont. We wish them to be known and
'oi th's reason propose TO publish the fol-
lowing extracts. The causes which in
duced the settlers of Massachusetts to
cave England and seek an asylum in

RELIEF SOCIETY, NEwPoRr.-This
Institution was founded in the winter OF
l827-its members were few in number,
but raised the amount of SG8,78 and ad-
ministcred rcliefto many suffering iami-
lies. In 1928, the winterwas so mild that
no funds were raised and there was no ur-
gent demand for assistance. In 1880,
its funds amounted to $40, ,06, and the
members of the society had the pleasure
ofknowing that they were the instruments
Of relieving many worthy, yet suffering
inhabitants of this town. In 1880, the
application to charitable individuals was
successful, and SlO1,52 were collected.
The calls were very numerous and press
ing, and the Society have afforded relief
to many, who without aid must have sut-
lercd severely from the cold. Since
1881 came in, and the weather has been
so inclcment, it is painful to think what
the condition of many would have been
but for the scasonable aid ofthis friendly
institutional members of the Com
mittee have already learned that one a
gcd female was compelled to keep her
bed for three days, in consequence of
the want Of iilel.-In this state of things
the Society increased their subscription
to $4,000 and received contributions in
addition, to the amount Of S95-making
their total receipts S224,OO. The Soci-
ETY. have supplied, this winter, one HIM
dred and forty seren families with wood ;
and thus caused many poor widows S
heart to rejoice.
The Society return their grateful
thanks to the clergymen of the town, for
their kind and faithful services on the
last Sabbath, on behalf Of the Society,
which, under Gods blessing had ten
dency to open the hearts Of the people !;
and produced the following happy re-

Saturday, January 90, 1881.
| A few resolutions were offered on Sat-
urday in the House Of Representatives,

MoHday, January "a, 1881.
The long threatened report from the
majority Of the Judiciary Committee,
accompanied by bill to repeal the 25th
section Of the Judiciary Bill Of 1889, was
made in the House Of Representatives

had in his hand counter report from the
minority of the Committee, which he was
desirous to present, but he could not OBJ
tain an opportunity, the Speaker decid-
ing that the question on the second read
ing of the bill must first be taken, and
motion having been made by MIR. Dod-
drdge, with call for the Ayes s. Noes,
to reject the bill, the proceedings were
interrupted by the usual message of the
Senate, before any decision OF the ques-
ton could be made.
Tuesday, January %, 1881.
Memorials were presented by Messrs.
Davis, Bates, Miller, Hemphill and
Whittlesey, praying Congress to repeal

ton of Slavery in the District of Colum-

The Masonic Juror. In our paper
Of the 18th ult. we stated in short arti-
Gle, that question was brought up to the
consideration ofthe Common Pleas Court,
at its recent session, precisely similar to
the question which was argued during the
first week of the term, in settling which
the Court then determined that Bateman
Monro, who was a juror, could not set
in the case, because he and he def. wcrc
both masOns-and that now the Court did
permit him, to sit on the trial Of the case
last referred to. The editor of the Pro-
vit!ence Daily Advertiser, the great lead
er and High Priest of Anti-masonry in
Rhode-island, then laudod that decision
to the skies, and took the ground that
Monro in that case and under the cir
cumstances attending it, was no more
competent to set on that trial, than he
would have been if he had been convict
ed of perjury, or any capital crime. And
this same great reformer has taken us to
do for having written that article, and
says that chad the sapient Herald con-
suited anv law student in Newport, he
might have had his difficulty removed. "
Why really Mr.. censor Hallett, you
yourself, though learned Counsellor at
Law, have not removed the difficulty
suggested by us-a difficulty that must
strike every candid and disintcrcsted
man, as one of no ordinary character.
The decision of the Court in rejecting
Monro was predicated upon the oaths'he
had taken, being Inconsistent, and con-
fictng with his civil oath. And this
same MIR. IIallett in speaking of that de-
cision, and in his daily abuse of masons,
has said in substance over and over a.
gain, that masons feel their masonic oaths
to he paramount TO all other oaths, and
that they, therefore, cannot do Justice be-
tween u brother mason and one who is
not a mason. Now can it be pretended
by any person except Mr.. Hallett, that
if man had been convicted Of perjury
theft, or any other crime by which his
civil rights had been affected, that the
Court knowing the facts, could consist
emily with their duty to the public, per-
init such man to set in case Dis iu-
ror, simply because the parties did not
object to him-we think not. But we
wish it to be understood that we do not
undertake to open dispute with the
"sapient" editor of the Daily Advertiser
We confess readily and frankly that we
are afraid Of that gentleman, especially in
legal dlsputation, An editor who takes
1t upon himself to abuse every other man
that presumes to differ from him in poll
tics, religion, masonry, or antimasonry:-
An editor who abuses every Court in the
land as their decisions may happen to
suit the standard he has adopted and pro-
mulgated for the world, or at least the
christian world, to be governed by:-An
editor who reviews with great sang irold
the decisions of Judge Story, and deals
out law lectures to that eminent iurist
with the same sort of straight forward con-
fidencc, as he would to one of his own
law students An editor who declares
/ To be "improper for a lawyer to refuse
o make day objection which his client
night wish him to make in u case" whe-
her the motion was a proper and decent
,otion or not:-An editor who declares
