the time at least, put down the Despotism of Null

know full we'll that popular topics may be urged
against the proclamation. know 1t may be
said, in regard to the laws Of the last session,
that if such law are to be maintained, Con-
gress may pass what laws they please, and eufor &c
them. Bu:. may it not be SAID, on the other
side. that If state may nulify one law, she may
nullify any other law also; and. therefore, that
the principle strikes at the whole power of Con.

and enforce what laws it pIeas-s.s it meant to be
contended or insisted, that the Constitution has
placed Congress under the guardianship and
control of the State Legislatures? Those who
argue against the power of Congress, from the
possibility Of its abuse, entirely forget, that if
the power of state interpnstiou be allowed. that
power may be abused, also; but, what is more
material, they forget the will Of the People. as
they have plainly expressed it in the Constitution:

II VIM. Sprague, Jr should not have bea-
/ ten (as he did, the Hon. Joseph L. Til
/ liDghast as Speaker Of the House; and
that ho had rather have given fire hun
dr.d dollars than that the two Houses
should net have refused Gas they did) to
/ join IN Grand Committee for the election
Of Senator. 1t wall be remembered
that Tillinghast was the National Re.
publican and Sprague the anti-masonic
| candidate. We also state that ut that
time there was majority in the House
of Representatives uniriendly to the cleo
ton Of Mr. Robbins, but when the two
Houses were together in Grand Com
mittee there was a majority in his favor.
The object Of MIR Pearce was to put tho
election oil, hoping his OVn prospects
would in the end grow better and bright
er.
We charge him with having pronounc-
ed William Sprague, Jr. fiar, it he,
,(Sprague,) had said in the General As
senibly at January Session, 1888, [as he
really did say,) that letters had Then
recently been nreceiv'd from him( Pearce,)
by members Of tho House, in which he
had expressed his desire or readiness {"
be candidate for Senator against Mr.
Robbins.
We charge him with double dealing
and treachery towards two very worthy
gentlemen, (the Hon. Nath'l. Bullock,
Collector of Bristol, and Col. Burning
ton Anthony, U. S. Marshal, who were
rival candidates few years since for tho
Collectorship Of Bristol, by his doing
precisely as he did in the North Kings
ton affair promising each, at The same
time, to procure for each, the Collector
ship Of Bristol.
We have but partially performed the
task required of us in explaining the
shutting and disgraceful conduct Of
Dutec j. Pearce. And we again re-
peat, we have discharged painful du-
ty. Can such man, we ask, who
has shewn himself to be treacherous,
and disposed to act treacherously, on
every occasion that has presented Itself,
be suitable man to represent the peo-
pie of Rhode-Island in Congress' Is
there any safety in confding tho inter
