as authority for the numerous removals
Of public Ulcers which have taken place
during his, Gen. Jackson'si reign to
show the falsiiy Of their assertions, We
publish the folio wing statement Of facts
/, A statement Of REMOVALS FROM OFFICE
du,ing the several administi ations Of ihs
General Government.
! lst--During General Washington's 5
I, Administration Of eight years, there were
nine removals, viz: one in 1899, three III
1894, three in 1875, one in '96, and one
in '97-of these one was n delaulter.
2d--In President Adams Of four years,
there were ten removals, five in 1897,
two in '98, one in '99, and two in 1900;
one Of these was deluulter.
3d-In President Jeferson's Of eight
years, there were thirty nine, twenty-five
in 1902, and seventeen in 1903.
4th-In President Madison's Of eight
years, there were fre removals, ofwhich
three we're defaulters.
5th-In President Monroe's Of eight
years, there were nine removals; ofthese,
one was for dealing in slaves, two for
failures, one for insanity, one for miscon-
duct, and one for quarrels with foreign
government.
6th-In President John q. Adams of
four years, there were tUO Removals,
both for cause.
In The FIRST year Of President Jack.on's
Administration, there have been NINE
HUNDRED AND NINETY RENO
vALs-23O principal officers, the remain
der, Postmasters and subordinates.
These facts are drawn from the public
archives, and have not been, and can
not be cOntradicted.
Some Of the Postmasters appointed by
Gen. Jackson, have been tried and SEN
fenced to the States Prison, for robbing
the mail some have run away-nn6
some have farmed out their Offices, from
their incapability of performing the du-
ties themselves; while some remain at
their posts dischargine their duty as well
as they know how. When Judge Nc
Lean was at the heard Of the Post Office
these things were Of rare
occ currence. But now-a-days it has been
found necessary by the Department, to
keep an organized corps Of spies to trav-
srse the country for the purpose ofwateh-
ng some Of their newly made officers, to
prevent them from piIiering the mail, 80

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. .NO.NI.N.1-
TJON


Gen. Albert C.. Greene having declin-
ed the nomination, which was rendered
him by a Convention of members OF the
Legislature at South Kingstown, the Ma
tional Republican Nominating Committe C
assembled in Providence, on Wednes-
day the 9th inst, and unanimously re-
commended the Hon. NATHAN +. Dixon,
of Westerly, as a suitable candidate for
Represcn,atiye in the 23d Congress-
Col. Dixon has long been known to the
Freemen ofthis State as man Of sound
and discriminating understanding--mild
and gentlemanly in his manners--lamll-
;ar with business and faithful in the per-
formance of it--and eminently qualified
by his experience in public life to DO hon
or to the station for which the commit
tee have recommen nded him. For ma
ny years Col. d. was member Of the
House Of Represe ntatives Of this State,
from the town of Westerly. He took an
active and highly respectable part IN the
discussions Of that body. He was uni
formly the advocate Of correct moral
principles, and directed his course in the
decision Of public measures by an en-
liehtene and liberal view Of the great
interests of the State. 1t is to the exer-
,ions of this gentleman, and a few others
connected with him, that we are prlnci-
pally indebted for the improvement ol
our Courts, (the Supreme Court espe-
cialIy, and for the establishment ofthat
bene6cent and mos. salutary institution
STATE Free SCHOOLS.
In his political course, as connected
with party, Col. Dixon's conduct has
been equally proise-worthy. A Nation
al Republican upon principle, he has
shared with fidelity the fortunes Of his
party. Uuder adverse as under pros
porous circumstances, he has ever been
the uncompromising friend Of The Amer
ican System,-of the Bank OF the Uni

II would be tedious to enumerate all
the places TO which the guide led US in
this extraordinary city. On our return
through the streets, among the objects
Of interest, was the House Of Sallust, The
Historian. i did not think, when read
ing his beautiful Latin at school, that
should ever sit down in his parlor! Sal
lust was rich, and his house was uncom-
monty handsome. Here is his cham
Der, his inner court, his kitchen, his gar
den, his dining-room, his guest cham
Der, all perfectly distingushable by the
symbolic fescos on the walls. In the
court was a fountain Of petty construc-
ton, and opposite, in the rear, was a
Aower-garden, containing arrangements
for dining in open air in summer. The
skeleton Of a female (supposed to be the
wife of the historian) and three servants
known by their different orname nts, were
found near the door Of the street.

A heavy shower drove us to the shell

Mn. ATKINsoN:-A the late contest
for Representatives to Congress resulted
in the choice Of but one Of the candi-
dates, and as another trial is very near,
it is time to enquire what claim the gen.
tlemaa whose name stands ot the head
of this article, has on his former friends,
particularly the freemen Of Newport,
for n reelection We shall undoubted-
Iy be told by some Of the jack-als that
cater for this bell wether OF political an
ii. masonry, the old story of his being a
good man for the State, and good man
for the town-that he has been instru-
mental in getting n spindle stuck in one
place, n beacon in another, and decoy
lighthouse on Goat Island: that he has
introduced bill into Congress to enlarge
a mud-puddle in Observation-Disclosures
to make break-water opposite somcbo-
dy's cow-yard in Little-Compton, &c sc.
all which spindles, beacons, and light
houses, make the sum total Of his useful
ness, and will not keep his own political
mud-scow from going ashore, in conse-
quence Of his steering such zig gag
course.
The National Republicans find that
they have nursed viper, a heartless rep
tile that baseless stung the hand that fed
it--thcy recollect the hostility he mani
tested towards them before he quit their
ranks--his coarse exultations at their de-

has recommended, among the several

the candidate that is offered to the sup

MR. ATKINSON,
Sir--In Bulls paper Of yesterday morning,

ten,p,s 10 be witty upon the subject ol the reinov-
al OF the Postmaster at this place (; and among
other falsehoods, he says, "if the government IS
satisfied. we, the people, ars.'' Now it is a well
known fact, and the evidence Of il is on the files
Of the Post-Ofice Department, that nineteen
t,rentieths Of the people Of this town, are most
decidedly opposed to the change that has taken
place. There il one other fact, which ought for
ever to silence the impudent assertion that tho
people are satisfied with the change, and that is,
the whole amount Of postage paid into the Post
Office in this town, for the year ending Sept. 80,
1892, was S4,2 ,236 81; Of this amount, only 500
81 cents were paid by all the people that recon-
mended the removal Of Mr. Cranston, and the ap-
pOintinent Of Mr. Carr. Thus it will be seen that
not one sirtieth part Of the postage was paid by
them ! 1le causes Of the removal Of col. Grams
ton, are simply these. viz:
lst, Because he has honestly. and independent
Iy exercised the right Of suffrage.
I'd, Because in 1929, before Mr. Carr consent

the Post Office by influential man in that par

! Mr.. Sir, On looking over

was struck with surprise at the boldness
and effron,ery with which he denies hav-
ing made use Of the language ascribed
to him in late number Of your paper as
! spoken in open caucus in the summer Of
1859. Having been present myself at
That caucus, occurring as it did during a
high state Of political excitement, have
'ome reason for remembering pretty ac-
curately what was then and there said
and | have no hesitation in stating, that
what you published respecting the part
acted by Mr. Pearce in that meeting, was
not only correct TO the letter, but that u
tenth part was not told. In order to-
check the erroneous impressions which
Mr. Pearce's denial are calculated to
make, hasten to lay before your read.
ers something more Of what was then
said by him, holding myself in readiness
to prove the statements shall make by
some Of the most respectable gentlemen
Of all parties who were present ut that
meeting. The meeting referred to was
u National Republican caucus, held a:
the State House in this town on the
Monday evening Immediately preceding
the lection of State Officers, in August
1889. Mr. Pearce (as has been stated
had just returned from Washington, and
it was rumored that he would address
the freemen, in consequence Of which
the room was unusually crowded. The
meeting being organized, the chairman,
Mr. Freedom, called on Mr. Pearce to
tell US something Of what was going on
ut the Capital. Mr. Pearce Immediately
arose and hauled the Presidents Bank
Veto Message out Of his pocket, and af-
Ter reading and commenting on several
pages, let off volley of abuse at the old
General and his coad tutors, ,-heaping
upon them the most scurrilous epithets-
such as have never before heard used
in any caucus by any person having the
least pretensions to decency, and such
as made even. his friends blush for him.
He declared the President 10 be q mise
rable, supcrannuated old man-said that
the energies Of his mind, if he ever pos
sessed any, were entirely gone, and that
except an inordinate desire which he e.
vinced on all occasions, to crafty the
wishes Of his friends without regard to
consequences, and to punish to the ut
most Of his power those politically oppos-
ed to him, he was about as near an au-
tomaion as could well be imagined. lie
said that Jackson was surrounded by
set Of political desperadoes, who not only
governed him but the whole country
that these men at Washington were well
known as comprising what was familiar
ly called the Kitchen Cabinet, at the
head Of which was Amos Kendall; and
that It was by this political junto that the
