The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1834-11-12

the invitation, and addressed the meetings i'm four
different wards, at of which, there was congre-
CATION of more than two thousand sailors. From
the native energy of Capt PoTrER's powers, both
mental and physical, we easily conceive the
cheering appreciation with which he was received
by the democracy of NewYork.-We further un-
derstand the audience highly delighted with both
the matter, and the manner ofhis native eloauence
At n meeting of the friends of the Administration
holden at the Court House i'm this town agreeable to
public notice in the II. l. Republican, on Friday
evening Nov.7th 1884 for the purpose of taking in
to consideration and discussing certain acts of the
House of Representatives of this state at the late
session ofthe general Assembly, Sylvester Clifford esq
was chosen chairman, and Charles B. Peckham
secretary.
Afterthe meeting had been organised and previous
to entering upon business, the Hon. Dutee J.
Pearce requested and obtained leave to present for
their consideration the following resolution
RESOLVED, That this meeting, apprised the de-
of their late fellow-citzen, Doct. Benjamin w.
Case, deem it expedient and proper for them uni
tedy to express their sincere regret for the melan-
choly event, and deeply sympathise with his rela-
tions, his numerous friends and acquaintance, and
with each other for the public loss, which by this
dispensation of Providence, the community has
tanned. But short time since, he with in
full life and spirts-he lies victim to the King
of terrors. As he was eminently useful in his vo-
cation of physician we also sympathise with those
who in times of sickness, relied upon his skill
for restoration to health.
In the death of Doct. Case, Society has been de-
prived of one of its most useful members, and the
town and state of true patriot, who was warmly
attached to the best interests of his country and
who firmly supported those interests with that de-
termined fearlessness and ZEAL peculiar to him
man, citizen of Newport and genuine of
Rhode-Island.
After few appropriate remarks, the resolution
was adopted and ordered to be published among the
proceedings of the meeting.
The meeting then proceeded to the business for
which they had met, and the following resolutions
were adopted unanimously.
Whereas the House of Representatives Of this
State, did, their late session in Providence, pass
sundry resolutions of highly censurable and intem-
perate nature, against the President of the United
States, for removing the public depostes &c, and
also declaring that the Bank of the United States
ought to be rechartered &c.
Wherefore resolved, That i'm our opinion the Pres
ident of the United States, has shown infinitely more
sound discretion and unyelding patriotism in sus-
tanning the country against the influence of a reck-
less and desperate and disappointed party aided by
the Golden Image which they worship, than the
House of Representatives have in their ridiculou.
twice told whining epistle to Congress.
RESOLVED, That in our opinion the said House
has disgraced ITSELF by an obsequious compliance
with the projects of few over-heated, disappointed
demagogues within their pale, spurred by
their kindred spirits without-and we deeply regret
if any member of common sense was cntrapped by
the designs of so despicablc junto.
RESOLVED, That the decisive rejection Of tn,
resolutions by the Senate of Rhode Island, is new
evidence of the wisdom and firmness of that Honor
able body and offers additional inducement t.
the intelligent fremen of Rhode-Isand to rally round
and sustain them at the next election.
RESOLVED, That it will be a proud day 70
Rhode-lsland when the House of Representative
shall be 50 created as to speak the real sentiment
ofthe people, and possess half the political vr
tues of the man whose character they now misrep
resent and whose merits they can neither under
stand nor initiate.
\ RESOLVED. That we congratulate the friends O
Liberty throughout the word-and more partic
ulary of this country on this entire route Of tina
political array, self-s,yled wings. That the gcnu
inc spirit Of Republican principles have arrisen ii
