Mr.. PRINrER-Al,hough much has
been said about the recent Election Lao,
by which Mr.. Arnold and his associates
calculate to gull the people, and perpet-.
uate their power: yet it seems to me that
considering the enornity of the fraud at
tempted to be palmcd off son the commu-
nifty, it has caused less excitement, and
called down less indignation on the
heads Of the conspirators, than could
reasonably have been anticipated. We
say conspirators, for no one acquainted
with the subtlety and dexterity of the IN
diyidual who drew that law. and by
whose influence 1t was passed, will sus-
pect the party at present ruling, or rath-
er misruling the state, of having erred
through ignorance. What say to the
honest, intelligent and independent free
men of Rhode-Jsland-"Come forward
and make Lemuel H. Arnold governor
by your voices. or we will make him so
in spite of your teeth:'" Although he
and those on the ticket with him, should
be left at liberty to stay at home by your
votes; and even he in a minority when
compared with either of the other prox-
les, still he and they shall be your rulers
until you learn better than to revolt a.
gainst the sovereignty of King Lemuel,
and Sc. at naught the high behest of the
Keeper of his conscience-the man who
sits at his right hand, and draws up his
DEGREES !. Can you submit to have SEN
ator forced down your threats, contrary
TO your expressed villa senator ex-
cluded from all the proxies by the unan-
imous consent of the people, as expressed
through their various conventions--a
man for whom in all probability not a
single vote will be castl Aye, says the
law, you may as well takethe nauseous
drug willingly, for whether you will or
not, down it shall 60. we have read
of the long Parliament of old, and are
aware Of the fact of legislative bodies de-
claring themselves permanent, in more re-
cen! days. Such for instance was the
case Of the representative chamber of
France, when Napoleon returned from
Elba. and was about to abolish by word
of mouth (iike our Uise legislators in the
case before usl the freedom of election.
The despot however was foiled-La-
Fayette threw himself into the breach
and. with a fearlessness and devotion
worthy Of his name, induced that body
to declare itself indissoluble. He was
justified and more than justified; for the
necessity of the case called for strong
measures. Indeed, whenever recourse
has been had in times past to this violent,
this extreme remedy, it has always been
because the vessel of state was supposed
to be in extreme peril--brcaker ahead
and rocks around her-when nothing
but bold stroke could save the COM
monwealth. But in the case before US,
there is no redeeming quality, nothing
but gross, gross usurpation. IAN attempt
to fnist upon us set Of men and meas
ures repugnant TO our will, and in a
manner, as we believe, subversive of our
dearest rights and most valued privi-
leges! One of the people.

A letter from the Washington Correspon.

the date Of March Goth, has the following
passage:
"Gov. Lumpkin has advised his friends 10
Congress, in letters received this day, that
he will not discharge the Missionaries, that
he will not abandon the survey and dispo.
sition Of the Cherokee lands, and that no
will enforce the laws Of Georgis, in relation
to the Indians and their territory, iu 'opposi.
tion to the laws of tho United States, on the
mandates Of the Supreme Court. II is ais o
said, in the Governors letters, that the peo.

Of the Journal ialsehoods as possible, we
ehould not have noticed the above, because

hardly necessary.-Of,he thirty seven post
masters in this State, twenty. nine nro oppos

things that are incoRtrovortbly true"--
therefore he thinks "lie well stuck to will
answer as well as the truth"
Prov. Her.
The following was handed us by one
Of the officers of the custom in this town.
l"Of tDsnty too government officers in
Newport, tDenty voted against gov. Fem
ner." So says the Providence Herald.
If the reference was to the custom. house
department, the error was very great
,nasmuch as the truth is, that of the
whole number (which the department
was composed at the period of choosing
officers in April last, viz. fourteen, three
voted for Gov. Fenner, and against him
not one.
We have taken some pains to ascer-
tain the facts Of the case, and will now
state them in justice to all the parties.
Attached to the Custom-house depart
ment in this town (if we include the keep
er of the Marine Hospital,) there are fif-
teen persons, who we believe are nearly
all freemen; if to this we add the Off
GERS of the Revenue Cutter, who, we
think, may fairly be considered officers
OF the Custom House department, the
number will be increased to twenty and
upwards. We state with confidence
that out Of that number, two only voted
for the republican prox, and but three
for Gov. Fenner in April last. Whether
the others voted for the opposition prox,
or did not vote at all we have not taken
nny means to ascertain.
At that time the officers Of the Cutter
now stationed here. occupied another
station, and were not in Newport to our
knowledge.

"ninf1urnccd by the warmest pleasures of this
world she sought for happiness where solid and
substantial happiness only be feund--in the
practice ofthat pety which has been prescribed by
a wise Providence. Miss III. had, two or three
years since, made profession of Religion, and
she was a member of the Episcopal Church at the
time OF her death. She had been i'm delicate,
health Tor some time, and during the past summer
she unattended by any female frend) had visited
the virginia Springs, in company with her two
brothers. While at the Sweet Springs sine was
seized with the fever which had so fatal a termina

soothe Tie feelings of the sick, tend much to miti,
gate the severity of pain. In regreiting the loss
winch they have sustained, her friends may derive
some consolation from the reflection that she
evinced the fortitudc and resignation which becomd
the Christian. She has lett Two brothers and a
large number of friends and rel tons TO deplore her
untimey death, to admire her character and rever.
