Should the Convention now in session at Prov
;dence. fail to frame such Constitution us the peo-
PIE, the weole people require,-should majority
ofthem vote to continue the supremacy OF unequal
laws,-still the friends Of liberty and equality have
the most cheering prospects to animate their exer-
tons in the cause Of patriotism. The grand rea-
son that Charter, such ours, has been suffered
TO remain in force two hundred years, may be
found in the supneness Of the people ; but that
long spell is broken-the spirit Of investigation Is
reused, and until Constitution based on liberal
principles is given to this State, voice loud and
clear will advocate violated right and continue to
expose the bascness and hypocrisy which in plac-
es eulogises such arstocratical principles, as now
govern Rhode Island.
This very nventiontion--though may send
out something like the venerable Charter with the
name Of Constitution attached to it's destined to
prove powerful engine in the good cause. They
may numerically be u minority but in that body
of men, are spirits that scorn to be slaves, or ad-
vocate the cause Of slavery. These men have
spoken and their voices have gone forth to every
extremity Of the State. They have exposed the
.sophsiry which is continually q being croaked'
forth at all times and in all places, by the high
priest Of dissimulation, that though he, and his
associates, may apparently triumph, their victory
will be achieved with a loss Of all available force
they will after this defeat, be poweress, aud men
will wonder that their dominion was endured 50
long.
II is oftriAing consequence whether the free
men, as now qualified, reject or receive such an
instrument as the numerical materials Of the Con-
,veniion seem to give promise Of constructing -
The political waves will continue to roll until a.
equilibrium is produced-unti justice predominate'
ana the rights Of man are recognized in the Con-
,sri,uiion Of the State. The artlfces Of designer
have been tried and exposed, shullling and duPlic
ity has lost its potency, and the last prop Of MIR
Hazards party will be torn away by the hbera
members Of this Convention, got up by the enem,
for his own sinister purposes. "I lie shall dig
pit and fall into il himself"

CoMET.-The HALEY Comet is now
visible in the east near the constellation
Taurus. Al this time its distance from
the earth is forty millions of miles. On
the 18th Sept. it will be only twenty-five
millions of miles distant ;and from this will
become brilliant
In the latter part Of September it will
enter the Twins, and on first of October
will reach within six millions OF miles,
of us, the fore feet Of the Great Bearl
where il no more sets. AT this its bril-
lance and apparent magnitude will have
arrived at the highest degree. On the
9th October it will stand nearest the
earth-only three and half millions OF
miles distant.
In the beginning of the year 1886 it will
emerge from the sun-beams, ,and again be
come visible, at the distances OF forty mill
ions OF mlt from US.
1t will for the second time approach the
earth, and on thels, March, 1886, will
| st and twenty-five millions ofmlles distant
Thence it will recedc from the earth, and
seem to wander 76 years; and in the year
1919 will again visit our region.-E. IL.

ANCIENT BURyING GROUND.


The following account respecting sew
eral ancient burying grounds, in the State
of Tennessee, is 6y Rev. Mr. Gwinn, an
aged and respectable member OF The
Methodist connexion, and who resides in
the section Of the country where they are
locate.
In the county Of White, Tenn. near
the town of Sparta, there have been dis
covered, three burying grounds, where
very small people are deposited in tombs
icotlins) of stone. The greatest length
Of the skeletons is nineteea inches. Some
of these people appear to have lived TO a
great age-theW teeth being worn smooth
and short, while others are full and long.
Many of the lombs Graves have been
oBend and the skeletons examined. The
graves are about two feet deep; The collins
are ofstone, made by laving flat stone
at the bottom, one at each end, and over
the corps. The dead are all buried with
their heads towards the east, and in
order laid on their backs and their hands
on their breasts. In tie bend of their
arms is found cruise or mug, that would
hold nearly pint: made OF ground stone
or shelf Of gray color, in which is found
one, two or three sifells, supposed to be
sea shells. One of these skeletons had
about the neck 81 pearl beads. There
are many ofthese burying grounds. Near
the one which examined is the appear
ance of an ancient town. The bones
found in these graves are strong and well
set, and the whole frame appears to be
well formed. These grave yards are in
extent an acre and half.
In the same neighborhood is a buryng
ground where the dead are buried in the
same ma nner as above described, where
the skeletons are from seuen 10 nine feet
long.
