THE ELEcrioy.-W6 cannot too ear
ncstly press on our fellow-citizens the
importance Of attending at the polls on
WEDNESDAY Next, and making strong
and united effort to sustain the credit Of
our proud little State in this eventlul cri-
sis. 1t is the boast of Rhode-lsland that
she adheres to PRINCIPLES, and that in
the darkest hours Of the Nations adver-
sity when others finched from the per-
Torrance of their duty, she stood by her
colors, and nailed them to the mast
When Mr. Adams was defeated by the
same inlatuation, which has again placed
in the Chair of Washington, most in
competent and unworthy incumbent, she
scorned to partake of the general delu-
sion, and gave to her tried and favorite
candidate more triumphant majority
than she had ever accorded him. Will
she do less for the noble minded man
who is now a candidate for her unbought
sunragcs? Will she do less for HEN
RY CLAY, to whose profound and lib
eral policy she is principally indebted for
the support of her manufactures; and
who has given to the laboring and indus
trious classes Of this community the
means Of acquiring every social comfort,
and the certainty of arriving at indepen-
dence and wealth. Will she to crafty
the miserable servility ofa few Office hol
ders and the rapacity Of some hundred:
Of hungry cxpectants, yield particle o
her honor in question like this? W.
trust not-We are sure she will not.
Let us remember also our duties to oul
own little State, and give to the Nationa
Republican candidates for General Off
GERS the support which they richly merit
, Governor Arnold and his associates hav,
been true to our interests and in ever,
emergency Of this difficult period, hav,
done honor TO the State, by their consis
tent conduct. It's due to these gentle
men, that they should be sustained il
their career of honor and usefulness; ant
certain we are that there is not tru
hearted National Republican freeman i
any part Of II. Island, who will not cheer
: fully devote few hours at least, to thi
important object, which union and cncr
i gy will assurcdly effect. To the Poll:
then, fellow-citizens-on the day of +
lection--and preserve the reputation fI
honor and consistency, which your indc
pendent conduct in the contest Of '28 ,ha
so Justly secured 10 you.

The Presidents Guard An English
man in Philadelphia speaking of the Pre-
sidency of Washington, was expressing
a wish to an American TO behold him.
While this conversation passed, "there
he goes" replied the American point
ing at tall, erect, dignifcd parsonage,
passing IN the other side Of the street.
"Ihat is General Washington" exclaim-
ed the EnglishmSn; where's his guard"
"lIere,' replied the American, striking
his bosom with emphasis.

in one of the upper wards, and after two
or three questions had been put to him
by one Of The Inspectors his vote was
challenged. On being asked by the same
Inspectors whether he was prepared To
take the oath--hc replied A" he had no
objection as he understood IT," The poor
man was rejected which shows that
these Jackson people are not consistent
even in their own Inconsistencies.

Funeral of Sir Waher Scott. The fu-
neral Of Sir Walter Scott took place on
the Goth Of September, when his remains
were consigned to the tomb amidst the
unleigned regrets of thousands. Cards
had been issued to nearly 800 persons,
almost all Of whom attended.
One o'clock was the hour fixed on for
the time meeting, and for abou. an hour
afterwards carriages Of different sorts,
to arrive from Edinburgh and other parts
of the surrounding country. The com
pany having partakcn Of refreshments,
adjourned to the library, where they
heard an eloquent and affecting prayer
from Principal Baird; and little after
two o'clock, the melancholy procession
began to move from Abbotslord to Dry
burgh Abbey. AS the funeral train pas
sed through the villages and hamlcts, one
universal feeling of deep sorrow perva-
dcd all classes. Groups of people were
assembled at different parts of the road +,
and on elevated points from which n
view could be obtained. Most of them
were in mourning, and many standing un-
covered. The streets at Melrose were
lined on both sides with the inhabitants
in mourning, and uncovered. The shops
of this and other towns were shut, and
the sign-boards were covered with black.
Before the body was committed 10 the
earth, the English burial service was
read by the Rev. j. Williams, rector OF
the Edinburgh Academy. A little be-
fore five in the afternoon, the last Offices
were performed. The spot in which Sir
Walter Scott is laid, is the north wing OF
the splendid ruin Of Dryburgh Abbey,
now, alas! containing Il more splendid
ruin than itself Here is laid the bod y
of Lady Scott, and also that of his uncle
The situation is secluded, romantic, and
quite congenial to all the ideas of the
deceased.

Cholera IN South Carolina. The
Charleston papers Of the Sd INST. contain
n communication to the public by ii. l..
Pickney, Esq. intcndant of the city, re-
lative to the brig Amelia Of n. York,
stranded on Folly Island The facts in
relation to the vessel and the sickness on
board, have been sufficiently stated
Out Of l05 passengers principally steer

vessel was stranded. IT now appears
that the disease has extended to the Is
land. MIR Johnstone, one Of the cabin
passengers, stated to the Common Coun-
Gil of Charleston on the Cd, "that there
were at least twenty persons sick-that
he had left his servant and two Of his
children in such extremity that he had no
doubt that they had died since his de-
parture from the Island-and generally,
that the condition of both the well and
the sick was such as rendered assistance
from the city absolutely necessary. Ac-
cordingly, Drs. Jcvey and Pritchard,
city physicians, were despatched TO the

sent down with an ample supply of pro

POLITICAL SOMERSET.

The long expected Genoument Of the
strange farce which has been so londiy
enacting between the Jackson s. antima-
sonic parties in this town, and which has
excited alternately the wonder and dcri-
sion Of our National Republican brethren
in other parts of the State, took place at
their adjourned meeting at the Court
House on Tuesday evening last. The
ECPHONORABLE Dutec J. Pcarcc,
for whose especial benefit and behoof
these mountebank exhibitions were orig
inally got up, came forward in the meet
ing and in an earnest s. elaborate speech
gave in his full and unqualified adhesion
to the JACKSON CAUSE !! A great
light had suddenly broke in upon that
gentleman. lie was NOW satisfied that
the "IIero of New Orleans" was the
p I'm, ,ubted choice Of an overwhelming
majority OF the nation; that it was the
duty of every good cll,.en to acN"lesce
in that choice and that variety OF ar
gumen,s might be offered to shew,
/ without particularly recommending that
course that policy required that we should
/ float on with the tide, and JOIN the hur-
rah boys in the general shout He said
it was his full belief that the Nationa
! Republican party would be literally deac
the Sd Of March next; that Gen Jack
SON would be elected by the great demo
cratic party of the Union, and that he
was clearly the choice OF the old anC
sound democracy Of this State.!! He
then went on to soften and extcnuate the
many imputed offences Of Jackson; ;-ex
cused HIM for vctoing the Bank Of the L
S. which VIC were all in an error in sup
posing was put down by the will Of th'
Executive.-lt was put down, according
to Mr. p. by the same old sound demo
cracy that had annihlated the BAN
which Immediately preceded it. Mr. z
was grieved too at another imputed of
, fence Of the General.-It had been re
presented that he had put his veto on
bill containing many important appropri
atoms for the Improvement Of harbors il
this State, when the fact was, he was
i wonderful friend to all those improve
ments, and was Only induced to Withhold
, his signature by his conscientious scrr
pies as to some other appropriations cor
IS tanned in that bill! Mr. p. then dc
y scanted on the many excellent propertit
;, and deeds of General Jackson-spokc
u his humanity to DR. Watkins, and Wind
y Gated him from the charge of signin
>" treaties with foreign powers without sui
'' mitting them TO the Senate-was great

in the National Republican caucus, wi
had had the hardihood to s,gmatize o,
IN present rulers as contemplate admin
D. tration---wouij have rather been gull
y of almost any enOrmity than have us,
Il that expression. in conclusion he won
say that Gen. Jackson had not been O
nj ginally the man Of his choice, and stu
Of ted as he was, perhaps from person
u preference, ,:hc might yet possibly be
e, duoed TO giye his vote TO Mr. Clay:

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

'OOihc vi our TcdutTS VIII uOuDtIcsS DC
curious to know what we shall say at the
result Of tho late Presidential elections.
We acknowledge that we are astonished
as well as disappointed. The causes
which have operated to produce so unex-
pected result, are difficult to state with
in small compass, but must be obvious
we think to every well informed person
who has reflected properly on the pecu-
liar elements of the opposition to Jack
sen. The result has proved most con-
clusive'y that any cordial cooperation
between the National Republican and
antimasonic parties for any practicable
result, is wholly unottuinable, at least Cor
the present. We cannot better express
our sentiments in relation TO the result Of
the recent contest, than by Introducing
tho following from the y. Y. Advocate
and Journal:
"The strife, however, so Ear rs men
arc concerned, may now be considered
us al an end, and it becomes us to rally
around the principles which we firmly
believe would have been in the ascend
ant, had we prevailed in the contest
principles which as they have ever been
the toss upon which alone we have re-
lied, so they ere rendered more and more
dear to US, as we perceive that the blind
ness Of the hour has for the present hid
den their great Importance from the view
Of majority OF our feIlow-citizens. We
are nothing daunted, nothing discourng
cd, at the result which is likely to turr
oit so contrary to oar wishes and cypec'
tations, for we feel assured that our cause
is the cause Of truth-.and it will prevail
There are two points on this globe from
which "the glorious orb Of day" is OBJ
scured for nearly half the year, yet h
shines during this period with his usua
rcsulgence: and as there are points o.
the earth where men may be placed an
be deprived of the light Of the sun, s
there is permitted to them, occasionally
a moral darkness; but as sure as III
physical Iuminary is again to shine out il
all its celestial brightness, though OBJ
scured either by the clouds ofhcaven, o
polar situation, so sure will the beauty G
political truth blaze forth, and shew t
the benighted citizens Of this Republic
the inlatuation by which they arc no,
carried away. Hundreds Of Thousand
Of those who now believe their countr
safe in the hands Of its present ruler
will ere long be made fully sensible
their error, and will most cordially uni
with those with whom they have bet
contending, to bring back our instltut'o
to the principles upon which they we

will stick to her integrity, and Henry
Clay, the great early and consistent
champion other domestic industry. She
will show to her sister States that her
citizens possess minds as independent as
any others. 1t is dne to the cause in
which we are engaged, it is due to our
own honor and it is due to the candidate
whom we advocate that we should 90 to
the polls and give him our votes. We
trust that no one will be deferred from
the performance of this imperative duty,
by any consideration that his vote may
not make President.
But our election next Wednesday is
otherwise of great interest to every one
Of as and to the whole country. We
have Governor and Senate to choose.
Their political complexion may say who
shall be our Senator to the next Con-
grcss. If we cannot have our President,
let us have an Independent Senate, whc
will check him in all his mad and ambi-
tious schemes, and guard the Constitu-
ton from violation. If we can secure the
? governor and senate the partizans OF
Jackson will not have il in their power to
elect Elisha II. Potter to the United
States Senate, who has long been known
to be the correspondent and most ardent
admirer of Martin Van Burcn, and who
if in Congress would 60 hand and hand
with the nullfcrs Of the South. In this
poin, ofview, it is therefore, all impor-
tant for us to attend at the polls and re-
cord our votes for the National Rcpubli-
can candidates. Our opponents calcu-
late upon success through our supineness
and negligence. Let them be deceived
this time, and all will be well. We
shall then elect a Senator of our own
| choice, who will not shrink, in the capi-
tol of the nation, from proclaiming the
sentiments and wishes Of his constituents
even though in doing it, he heard the
'roaring hon." TO the polls then anf
dcposite your roiss. Encourage you

UNDENIABLE TRUTns.-The paricidal
acts of the anti masons in New England
arc well exposed in the Boston Centinel.
The editor naturally believes that they
would rejoice to see General Jackson
reelected, that the excitement in which
they vegetate, may be prolonged. The
Ccntincl says: "The anti-masons pre-
tend that the National Republicans are
a masonic party and subject to masonic
inauepce, when the whole present cleo
tione e-ing contest affords irrefsugable
proof hat the National Republican par
ty is entirely aloof from masonry. The
nation'l party is most violently opposed
to the election Of Jackson: but Jackson
is more identified with masonry than
Clay, because he is an older and much
higher mason than Clay, and he still be-
longs % Masonic Lodge, while Clay
has net for years been in Lodge. The
/; cant about the National party, being
connected with masonry, is the sheerest
humbug that was ever attempted to be
played off upon an intelligent communi-
,Ity. 1t is downright imposition-as
transparent cheat as was ever plan,
ned.
