FALSEHOOD EXPOSED.

Last Tuesdays Rhode Island Repub-
lican contains n statement, copied from
the Republican Herald, of what purports
to be the speeches Of Mr.. Elisha r. Pot
ter and MIR. Hazard, upon the resolution
introduced in the General Assembly by
Mr. Potter, relative to the United States
Bank. Having conversed with several
Of the members of the Legislature from
this town, relative to what was said by
those gentlemen on that occasion, we
are authorized to state, distinctly and
unequivocally, that no such speech was
delivered in the General Assembly by
MIR. Potter, and that the whole affair as
set forth in the Republican Herald, is m-
.terly false. Mr.. Hazard when he first
rose, stated that he was inclined in the
first instance to think that the resolution
ought to be laid on the table, but upon a
moments thought he was satisfied that
such a course would be improper, and
that the resolution ought to be disposed of
or rejected at once. In relation to the
enrelopc that Mr. spoke of, Mr.. III. stated
at the time, that it was untrue that the
gentleman had an "envelope" of a poll
tical letter directed to him, (Mr. Ii J and
requested Mr.. p if he had any such
"envclope" to produce 1t, which he de-
clined doing. We are also authorized
to say, that Mr.. p. has not, nor never
had, the "envelopc" of political letter
directed to MIR. Hazard, and we call on
the Hon. ELISHA r. Potter to come
out like man with his "cnvclope"-pro-
missing that il he has such an "envelope, )"
no questions shall be asked hor he came
by 1t. We again repeat, that the story
Is utterly and entirely FALSE We
also further assert, on the authority Of
Mr. Hazard himself, that during this
Administration or that of Mr. Adams, he

REJECTION OF M. VAN RUREN.

I, REJECTION OF nj. VAN nUREN.
!! We commence publishing to-day, the
! debate in Secret Session of the u. S.
/ Senate, on the nomination Of Martin Van
Buren, and shall continue it hereafter un-
til its completion, by which the public
will perceive the grounds upon which the
rejection of his nomination was brought
about. The Jackson papers are so in
discreet in this matter as to resort to cv-
cry species Of low and vulgar abuse to-
wards those Senators who opposed the
nomination But these miserable tools
of the most unprinci pied political mana
ger that ever dsgraccd the American
character, will fail of success in their at
tempts further to deceive the people. -
The single fact of the friends of Van
Buren, in the Senate, refusing to nvesti-
gate his fitness for Minister to England,
and their smothcring the resolution intro
duced by Mr. Holmes, is sufficient to
justify his rejcction.-But aside from
that, the evidence produced to the Sc
nate as set forth in the debate, furnishes
the most irresistible and conclusive evi-
dcnce of the utter unworthiness of this
man to fill any place Of trust, much less
one of such vast responsibility as that of
Minister to England. Can any man in
his sober senses believe for moment,
that such men as Clay, Webster, Clay
ton, and the other. members of the Sc
nate who voted with those gentlemen on
that occasion, were capable Of so far de-
grading themselves and the high trust
confded to them, as to have suffered
themselves to be influenced by any other
considerations than those which legti-
mately belonged to the case--it is idle to
suppose such an absurdity. 1t is not on
ly idle, but is even ridiculous, because
there was no necessity existing to lead
them to such resort. BY the evidence
produced, Van Buren, stood self-convict-
ed, and self COMMUNICATIVE there are
those who are ready to impeach the mo-
tives of every Senator voting against con-
firming the nomination. the jack
son paper in this place, undertakes to
villify the Senate for this Independent
and manly discharge Of its duty, and
makes a free use Of coarse and severe
epithets in relation to the conduct of Clay,
Webster, and others of their friends,
epithcts, the import of which, we very
much doubt whether the author himself
correctly understood. The creature who
wrote the article to which we refer, al
though holding, for aught we know some
profitable office under the Administration,
and exercising with show of great self
complacency and majesterial dignity the
office Of Dictator in the work Of Reform,
would not be entrusted we venture to
say, with even the office of 'shoe-black'
to either Of the distinguished Senators he
has labored to scandalize and abuse -.
But insults when offered by such men
are harmless.

NEW MILITIA LAW.

The new militia law passed at the last
session of the General Assembly, pro-
vldes in the first section, for an annual
meeting Of the militia by companies, on
the first Monday of April, foothe pur-
pose of training, disciplining, and improv-
ing them in martial exercise.
Section 9, provides that in the year
1888, and every second year thereafter,
in the month of September, the militia
shall meet by regiment or bi ua,ion, the
days to be designated by the command
ants of brigadcs, and the places of rem
devious hy the commandants Of regi.
ments.
Section Q, provides for meeting of
the commissioned and staff officers, and
sergeants of each regiment, in the month
of September annually, for training, dis
cipIlnlng and Improvement in martial ex-
erLIse, and they may be required to ap-
pear with such arms and accoutrcmcnts
as the commanding officer of the regi.
mcnt NAV prescribe, and he may require
them to perform any duty belonging to
commissioned, noii-cOnImlssioncd officers

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

1t seems to be well understood at
ashington, that the plan Of the leading
Jackson men is, to run the General
again for the Presidency, and Van Bu-
rcn for Vice-President. If, unfortunate
ly for the country, they should succeed,
jackson, whose health is greatly impair
ed, and which is known to be daily de-
clining, is to resign Immediately after
his reelection, by which Van Buren
would be placed at the head of the Co
yernment. What more degrading and
calamitous event could happen to this
once proud and elevated Republic? If
the People will continue careless and
reckless Of their national character, and
the best hopes and interest of posterity,
then let them stand chargcablc with the
awful g. responsible consequences which
must necessarily be the result of such
rashncss. Whenever this nation shall
lose its lofty character and standing IL
mong the nations of the world, the work
will have been consummated by the
criminal negligence of the People them
selves, assisted by the wicked and un-
principlcd Vaccinations of such men as
Martin Van Buren,.

THE MORE CONVENIENT SEASON.

MRS. sIGoURNEY.
Alone he sat and wept. That very night
The ambassador of God, with earnest zeal
OF eloguence, had warned him to repent,
And like the Roman at Drusilla's side.
Hearing the truth he trembled Conscience wrought,
Yet sin alured. The struggle shook him sore
The dim lamp warp'd--the hour of midnight tolfd:
PRAYER sought for entrance but the heart had closd
its diamond valve. He threw him on his couch,
-4nd babe the spirit Of his God depart!
-But there war within him, and he sigh'd
NDepart not utterly, thou Blessed one!
Return when youth is past, and make my soul
For ever thine"
with kindling brow be trod
The haunts of pleasure, while the yiol's voice,
And beauty's smile, his joyous pulses woke
To love he knelt, and on his brow she hung
Her freshest myrtle wreath For gold he sought,
And winged Wealth INDUCED him, till the world
Pronounced him happy. Manhood's vigorous prime
Swel'd to his climax, and his busy days
And restless nights, swept like tide away.
Care struck deep root around him, and each shoot
Still striking earthward, like the Indian tree,
Shut out with woven shades the eye of heaven.
When 10! message from the Crucifed-
"Look unto me, and live'' Pausng be spale
OF WEAKNESS and haste, and want of time,
And duty to his children, and besought
A longer space to do the work of heaven.

On his wan temples, and the palsed hand
Shrank from gold-gatherings. But the rigid chain
OF habit bound him, aud he still impored
a more convenient season.
"See, my step
Is firm and free-my unquenched eye delights
To view this pleasant world and life with me
May last for many years. In the calm hour
OF lingering sickness, can better fit
For vast Eternity"
-Disease approached
And reason fed. The maniac stroye with death
And grapped like a fend, with shrieks and cries,
Till darkness smote his eye-bals, and thick ice
Closed in around his heart-strings. The poor clay
Lay vanquished and distorted. But the soul
The soul, whose promised season never came
To hearken to its Makers call, had gone
To weigh its suffrance with its own abuse,
And bde the audit.
