forw ard 20 defend her I they have been
gathered 90 their Fathers and their spirit
sleeps with them in their tombs. Their
sons have degenerated into sordid Poll
ticians--they have abandoned her inter-
est--tarnished her fame-and turned
traitors to her cause. The town Of
Newport was always respected by her
sister towns, SO long rs she respected
herself. When she was strong and they
we're weak, she covered them with her
shield. she rejoiced in their growing
prosperity, and never refused them the
generous hand Of fellowship. As she
sunk in the scale of wealth and power,
she still commanded respect from others,
and justice was not denied her. We fear
she 10 now about to terminate her polite
cal career by the ruthless hand Of parri-
eide. The Arnold prox, agreed upon by
their Convention, left her only one men,
ber of the upper house that of tho deputy
Governor; esensthat pittancs we under
stand is now 90 be Withdrawn. and the
engines that were first set TO work in this
outrage upon the town, was formed from
the materials within her own walls.
Governor Collins has long been viewed
by our little aspirants as a dangerous
rival. and they have seized this moment
Of political frenzy to push him ou, of
their path but in endeavdring to do that.
what necessity was there Of going to
Portsmouth for candidate for deputy
Governor when that town already has
one Senator. Portsmouth did not, and
could not demand two votes in the upper
house. the effect of which must be to leave
Newport altogether unrepreseRted. This
must be the consequence if the revised
Arnold Prox should succeed. We can
not believe that the freemen Of Newport
are prepared to sacrifice the rights. in
terest and policy Of the town At so cheap

lkuTok COkhESFONUENCE.
NEwPoRr, MAY 4.-Wednesday was the
day, on which, according to the long estab :.
lished ussges, q new Governor and Senate
should have been installed to preside over
the little State Of Rhode-Island and Prov
dencc Piantations.-Bu for the first time
since II pleased his most gracious majesty
Chsrlcs III. to grant the charter TO which The
freemen and their eldest sons so psrtiDa
ciously adhere, they have not been able to
effect choice. Governor Arnold and his
psrtisaGs, by an act which bears the brand OF
shame, and Is wholly repUgnant 10 every
principle OF honor, have contrived To retain
their stations, until h'r successors are .ap.
pointed and it will consequently be their
aim to defeat an election another trial for
which has been ordered to take place on tho
10th inst. The friends OF the candidates at
the second canvass, appear determined 10
suppor, their men. aud the probability 10,
theie will DO no choice on the second trial.
II is evident that's majority Of the free.
men Of the State are determined that they
will not re.elect Arnold. But cannot they
! see that so long as they divide he will virtu
ally retain his office ? The only candidate
likely to succeed agsins, him 10 Mr.. Fenner.
and for him should be given the votes Of all
those who are opposed 20 the present dynss.
ty and their famous perpetuation law.
Although no chief magistrate has been e.
lected. the appearance of things is not ma.
terially different. The town is filed with
politicians, and others who take this time TO
make their annual visits, and every thing ap.
pears to pariake Of energy and life. Little
knots Of the former can be seen at the cor
ners Of the streets--iadies are p,omenading

the narrowness Of the side. walks, not per.

to be found in nearly every house ~ while

Treason against our souereign Lord,

ExORIoUs ExCHANGE.-A most ia
grant and deliberate violation Of the sa-
cred ties Of matrimony took place in this
neighborhood a few days ago. A mutu-
al transfer Of wives WAS made by an in
strument Of writing signed, sealed and
delivered, which constituted what the
parties might call a fair swop. This
hcathenish outrage on the rights Of wo-
men deserves the punishment Of the pill
lory, Or bastinado, administered with
plentiful liberality. There is however,
some slight mitigation Of the offence in
the voluntary and cheerful performance
of the contract which took place on the
part Of the ladies. Certainly there was
