rejected.-He argued that as the law
required every freeman to take the oath
when required, and did not provide for
swearing the moderator, his vote must
necessarily be rejected when challenged
in other words, that his being modera-

The vote was taken, "Shall the prayer
of the petition of Henry Bull and others,
be granted" The Committee was call
ed, and there was NOT ONE VOTE
in favor; NOT ONE Jackson man had the
unblushing hardihood to vote for the pc
tition. EVERY VOJE HAS RE-
CORDED AGAINST TIE Pc

A more base, contemplate, and un
principled attempt to cheat town out of
its entire vote was never conceived or
made, and it only shows what the leaders
Of the Jackson party would do, if they
had the power. Major Bull proposes to
be Jackson Republican, and yet un-
supported by evidence or even plausibil-
ity, he is the first man in the State that
is willing to lend his aid and influence to
cheat his own town out of its franchise,
merely because the vote was against his
political favorites.- Citizens Of .Newp o,t,
remember Mr. Bulls design on you-oit
has he been honored with your conf
dence, trust him no more, forever!
In the prosecution ofthe petition, there
was on the part ef Mr.. Bull degree of
malignity never before witnessed in or out
ofthe Legislature; it was mixed up of pei
sonal and political vindictiveness.-The
Grand Committee rebuked him; his own
political friends rcbukcd him ;sand if he
were actuuted by the ordinary sensibili-
ties of a man of feeling he would hide his
head in shame and modification.
