| town would do something not 10 disg race
! I',bomselyes-and remarked that tho town
! in time. past, on similar occasions, had
always appointed committee to make
proper arrangements for the Presidents
lrecept;on. II struck him that the only
correct way now would be to appoint a
committee and rely upon their discretion.
The meeting then adjourned till o.
clock, p. m.
l In the afternoon, after the allowance
Of sundry accounts, and the considera-
tion of others,
The Report Of the School Committee
was read, received, and ordered to be
published. THE Report will be found
in tho next column.
i The Hon. Chris. c. Champlin offered
a resolution respecting the intended visit
of the President Of the United States,
accompanied with some remarks which
we could very indistincily hear at the
distance we were from him--the sub
stance of which is nearly as follows;--
\ Mr. Champln suid, that when Presi-
dent Monroe came here il was thought
proper that the mhoie torn should unite,
and greet him with a reception due to
his station. He was not then one of the
dominant party, but nevertheless thought
/ it best to receive Mr. Monroe as the
President oCMe United States. In rela-
ton to the contemplated visit of the Pre-
sident, he had convcrsed with gentlemen
Of different parties who all coincided
with him that if Gen. Jackson should Wis.,
it us, he ought to be received as the Pre-
sident Of the Country. The resolution
! which he had offered was precisely such
a resolution as was adopted when Mr.
j Monroe came here-he believed that
that resolution at that time, had the el-
feet Of doing away in great measure,
party feeling. Mr. C. thought it for the
interest Of the town TO give the President
an honorable reception-he knew that
many TO whom his remarks were address
sed, differed from him in regard to his
administration, but believed they would
agree TO their correctness. He then
spoke of Gen. Jackson's military con-
duct at New Orleans-of his prcsiden-
tial career, and concluded his remarks
by culogizing the Presidents Procla-
nation to put down notification.
Robinson Potter hoped that such
committee wonld be appointed as would
do honor to the town. General Jackson
ought to be received as the President of
the United Statcs-the great mass ofthe
people had seen fit to place him at the
head Of the nation, and he hoped he
would be received and looked upon with
the respect due to the Chief Magistrate
Of this great and growing country. Mr.
Potter spoke at some length ofhis public
life.
Benz. Hazard then seconded the mo-
ton for the adoption the resolution (o(-
fered by Mr. Champin,) which he said
he did not doubt would be adopted unan-
i,nously and he only regretted that it
should have been thought necessary to
employ any argument to induce the free
men to show proper respect for the
Chief Magistrate Of the L. States-inI
doing which he was confident that all
the inhabitants of Newport, would, with
out distinction of party, most cheerlullv
unite.
The resolution which is as follows, then
passed unanimously.
"Whereus It is expected that the Pre-
sdent of the United States will visit this
town, through this section of the United
States:--It is therefore unanimously re.
solved, That a Committee of eighteen
suitable persons be appointed, empower
ed and required to adopt such measures,
and make such arrangements for the re-
ception and accommodation of THE PRE-
sIDENT on his arrival and during his con-
tinuance here, as will fully manifest the
attachment Of tho oitizons Of thi. town 10
the union Of the States, and their high
respect for the Chief Re
solred, That the Town Council be au-
thorized and requested to make such ap-
pointments, and that the expenses accrue
ing in consequence Of these resolutions,
