A most fatal accident occurred day before
yesterday near Clear Spring. AS the stage
was descending little hill, the axle tree
broke and upset it, preciPilating a Mr.. f.
NocH EDMoNsToN from the top under the
body Of the stage, and SO fatally wounding
him that he died in a few minutes. He
was unable to speak, and was apparently
senseless, after he was drawn from under
the carriage. Some books wearing apparel,
&c. together with 3 so in paper and silver,
were found with him, and have been left
with Mr.. Samuel Boyd, Innkeeper in Clear

LETTER FROM SMYRNA.

Smgrma, June 8, 1881 regret TO state
that the hOrdes Of pirates here improved the
opportunity between the fall of the arbitrary
government Of Greece, aud the establishment
Of the present liberal authority, to rush forth
and commit all manner of excuses. What q
government without funds and without ves-
sells can do, win be done by the provisional
commission for the suppression Of piracy !;
and the fleets Of the allied powers win speedi-
~ supply the deficiency. These, however,
are only temporary measures, and we must
wait for the arrival of the young Bavarian
King for sOme.fnal aud decisive arrangements.
After all, do not let our citizens be discour-
aged in making Efforts for the moral improve
ment Of the Greeks. In point of economy. it
would, am persuaded, be an object to ex-
pend the worth Of frigate annually in train
ing to virtuous habits the youthful generation
which will soon be obtaining their livelihood
by the oar along the shores and among the isl
cts of the Egean.
Those, however, who cannot iind il in their
hearts to do any thing more for Independent
Greece, will, it is to be hoped, take pity or
the millions Of different forms of worship il

er encouragement, since the days Of Homer
and Paul. for efforts to diffuse the light of Sci

yet, for the want of little generous aid from
abroad, the most hopeful schools are suspend

NEWPORT,
THURSDAY, DECEMBER I3, 1892.

TO the exclusion Of much other matter
and many advertisements, we have pre-
sented entire in this days paper, the 4th
annual message of President Jackson.
We are in possession of various stric-
lures upon this document, which would
be interesting to our readers.-Thc fol-
lowing however, will suffice for the pre-
scnt:-The Philadelphia National Ga
zette, alluding to its paternity, says:-"lt
may be allotted, with some certainty, with
lines of official dcma:kation, among the
four Secretaries s. the Attorney-Gcner-
al. We do not discover in it the hand or
spirit of the back-stairs Directory. The
clear and neat style of Mr.. Livingston is
dstinguishable in the satisfactory expo
siton of the state Of our Foreign Rcla-
TONS" The Boston Ccntinol observes:
The President, in his message, shows
that the assertion of Anti-Tarif individ-
uals, that the protection of domestic man.
ufactures Injuries commerce, is entirely
erroneous, unless they can establish that
our greatly increased commerce would
have increased still more without them
But should not persons engaged in com
merce consider, whether their business
would not have been reduced, instead o
increased, but for our manufactures, ant
manufacturing employments? The Pre-
sident says that, during the last year
more than eighty thousand tons hav
been added to our shipping, and nearl
forty millions of dollars to our exports an
! imports! This result, says the New
! York Commercial Advertiser, we shoul
suppose, would convince every unprcju
diced opponent of protective duties, thf
the system, under which our land is coy
= cred with villages, and towns, and cite
rail roads and canals-with mar
ufactories and work shops-undcr whicl
e eighty thousand tons are, in one yea
D added to our shipping, and forty million
> to the aggregate of our imports and c!
ports, cannot be vitality injurious to al
interest Of the nation. The Preside
r thinks otherwise, and asserts that "pr
}, lection must be ultiSatcly limited to tho
: articles of domestic manufacture whi
/. are indispensable to our safety in time
il war" 1t is worse than vain, we W,
ST know-it is talking to the idle winds,
or point out, at this time, the Inconsistent
!, Of Andrew Jackson. There is not pl
" fessed principle which he has not &C
So tradcted, nor an avowed motive, exec

o' nually repudiate. The Commerc

show, that in that, and his subsequent
message, the tariff was boldly defended
as to its constitutionality and expedien-
cy. The present document contradicts
his two last, distinctly, and virtually re-
commends an entire annulment of the
system of protection. The paragraph in
reference to the tariff proposes "to sur
render and abandon more Of the powers
and policy of the General Government,
and consequently Of the rights of the
majority of the States, than the most ar
dent Of the party, calling themselves
Nullifiers, has ever asked for" In re-
ference to the foolish and wicked insin-
uation, that the Government deposites
are not safe in the United States Bank,
the National Intelligencer remarks:--
The Bank makes weekly returns to the
Secretary of the Treasury of the state of
its affairs. The Government, must,
therefore, know from day to day the real
situation of the Bank, and to imply or in
sinuate doubt with regard to the safe
ty Of the dcposites of tho United States
would betray an ignorance which we
shall not be so disrespcctlul to the Presi
dent as to impute to him. The Banl
has not two-thirds Of the amount Of i'll
capital in circulation in its own paper;
has in its vaults one half of the amour
of its own circulation in specie, and h'
paper of other banks: it has an amount
in general, nearly equal to its own paper
in circulation in domestic bills, falln,
due on an average Of sixty days, indie
pendently of about forty-sx millions c
dollars discounted in notes, the grca
proportion of which are commercial tran
, sactions, represented by property, falln
, due in sixty days"
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1832-12-13

of such anxious concern to the friends of
freedom throughout the world, it is our
imperious duty to lay aside all selfish and
local considerations, and be guided by a
lofty spirit of devotion to the great prin-
ciples on which our institutions are foun-
Ged.
That this Government may be so ad-
ministered as to preserve its efficiency
in promoting and securing these general
objects should be the only aim of our
ambition; and we cannot, therefore, too
carefully examine its structure, in order
that we may not mistake its powers, or
assume those which the people have re-
served to themselves, or have preferred
to assign to other agents. We should
bear constantly in mind the fact that the
considerations which induced the trainers
Of the Constitution to withhold from the
General Government the power to regu-
late the great mass of the business and
concerns Of the people, have been fully
justified by experience; aud that it can
not now be doubted that the genius of all
our institutions prescrioes simplicity and
economy as the characteristics Of the re-
form which is yet to be effected IN the
present and future execution ofthe func-
tons bestowed upon us by the Consttu.
ton.
/ Limited to general superinte nding
power to maintain peace at home and a
broad, and to prescribe laws on few
subjects of general interest, not calcula'
ted to restrict human liberty, but to en-
force human rights, this Government will
find its strength and its glory in the faith
ful discharge of these plain and simple
duties. Relieved by its protecting shiel'
from the fear Of war and the apprehcn
, sion of oppression, the free enterprise O
our citizens, aided by the state sover
Q eighties, will work out improvements an
: ameliorations which cannot fail to demon
f strate that the great Truth, that the pee
: pie can govern themselves, is not onl
: realized in our example, but that it
o done by machinery in government S
t simple and economical as scarcely to b
c felt. That the Almighty Ruler Of tn
i universe may so direct our deliberations
}, and overrule ou, acts as to make us ir
n strumental in securing a result So dear
l. mankind, is my most earnest and SINGER
: prayer. ANDREW JACKSON.
