From the Providence Journal.

The following are true extracts from
the report Of the proceedings oithe Jack
son Convention, holden at East Green
wich in January last, which put in nom
ination Governor Fenne', jeffrey llaz-
ard, and the Jackson SeIate.
"NIr. Bull of Newport said, they were
very reluctant to leave cut Lieut.. Gov.
Collins, but he had gone pver to the Clay
party, and they wanted none but true
men. They must therefore dispense
with his services, though the! regretted
it extremely"
GA committee of ten WIS appointed to
fill vacancies. Mr.. Bulwantcd to give
them power TO SUBSTITUTE OTHERS if
they should find out thcytGd nominated
/ ANY CANDIDATE who wasNoT on THEIR
SIDE"
4 "Mr Potter made sme remarks.
He said he was willing tolave this Prox
put on fair grounds. He expected for IT
the support olthose who ArRovED ofTHE
MEN and THE MEASURES ofmIs Jackson
ADMINISTRATION"
1t will be borne in mind hat Governor
Fenner has been put in mmination for
reelection by The jackson Convention
atone, no other Convcntion,n nor party has
brought him forward; and as no "SuJsh-
hte" has been by the Jacluon party put
at the head Of the jackson prox, as in
the above named contingency was pro-
posed, the public must inevitably infer
that Governor Fenncr is Oh the Jackson
"Side;" and as Mr.. +. II. Potter expects
the treemen Of this State, by voting for
Governor Fcnner and the Jackson prox,
thereby to "dPprore Of Me nen and meas
nres otMis JachSon administration, it will
he well for the lends of TIE true inter-
ests of Rhode-lsland, particularly the
farmers of our State, to think of the con-
sequences Of voting as Mr.. Potter is so
ANXIOUS for them to vote OH this occa-
sion.
Freemen Of Rhode-Isand, is it neces-
sary to tell you WHO the "men" of this
administration are? Three Of the most
prominent of them, Jackson, Calholn s.
/ Van Buren, have lately told the country
what each other was; and as their !esti-
mony ought not to be doubted by the
friends Of the administration, the sub
stance Of it perhaps ought to be stated.
Jackson accuses Mr.. Calhoun of duplic-
ity and deception; Mr.. Calhoun in turn
accuses General Jackson of weakness,
and of being the dupe and tool of Van
Buren,, and that Van Buren is the hgo,
/ (the dark minded vilain) of "a deep laid
plot to destroy him. Van Buren, through
the Globe, "a Jackson paper at Wash
ington) accuses Mr.. Calhoun d being at
the head of the nullifers, andwilling to
/ dissolve the Union. These arr the rep
reservations which the three INST promi-
nem individuals who direct our,ublic af-
fairs give of each other. Are they not
good Witnesses of what they say Ought
not the country to believe them What
then, are ''the men" of this adninistra-
ton but deceptive, doubie-deaii,g, weak
and mischig-plotting politicians, N whom,
by their confessions, the country can
have no more confidence than they ap-
pear to have in one another.
"The measures of this administration, -
which you are by the Jackson Conven-
ton called upon to "approyc" by this
election, are; in the first place. an insid-
ious, jesuitical and deadly eifGrt to pull
down the present tariff, which is of such
vital benefit TO the farming interest OF oul
State, which gives additional yauc to ev-
cry foot ofour soil, which greatly incrc,s-
cs our population, and furnishes a hmc
market to our farmers for their surplus
produce, and the repeal of which w,uld
he a greater calamity TO the farmer OF
this State, than to any other class ofour
citizens; for it would throw out of empoy-
ment, and drive from the State u very
large proportion OF our population, Who
buy and consume the surplus produce OF
their farms.
The war waged against the judiciary
OF the union is alarming TO every friend
Of our free institutions. What protection
has this and other small States, if the Su-
Preme Court Of the United States, the
gre moral power that holds all the States
together, is broken DOWN. Would notthc
States, without the control of that common
tribunal, be governed only by the laws
oi nature, by which the stronger domi-
ncers over the weaker.
The recommendation ola great Treas
ury Bank, to corrupt the people and to
enable Martin Van Buren, to buy into
the Presidency, with the PEOPLES
money, is another measure ofthis Admin
stration, which Jackson men wish you to
