RISING PROSPERITY OF RHoDE-IsLAND
AND THE Town OF NEWPORT.

AND THE Town OF NEWPORT.
! IL must be apparent to every reflect.
ing mind, that the long contemplated
change for the better in the CONNER
cial affairs Of the town, is rapidly TAX
ing place, anG in short time Newport
will show very different aspect from
what she has hitherto exhibited. The
march Of intellect, and the spirit of en-
terprize, are now reused to action. New
port, within the last twenty months, has
been beautiied by twelve new houses
superior to any buildings in the town.
besides the addition of four splendid new
churches.-New streets have been open
ed, and the old ones have been neatly
paved, and sidewalks laid down while
many of the stores and private dwelling
houses have been enlarged and rcnova-
ted. Real estate has also very material
ly enhanced in value during the same
space OF time. From what we can learn,
there will be ample demand for trades
men of all descriptions,in in the erection of
many new buildings which are now plan
ming for the accommodation of our nu-
merous summer visiters, whose reiterated
complaints for pam Of accommodations
will not be listened to in vain. In ad.
dition to the improvements of the town,
the affairs Of the Harbor have been
equally animated, in the building and
equipment Of several large ships for the
whale trade, the last Of which will take
her departure for the Pacific, in few
days, with our serious good wishes for
her successful return. This last vessel

"Angelica Republican," heretofore
staunch Jackson paper, has torn Off the
collar, and takes ground foI the Consii-
tuition. This is an encouraging sign Of
the times. The Republican being the
only paper in Allegheny county, its Edi-

KENTUCKY ELECTION. The route ot
the Jackson Van Burcn party appears to
have been complete and decisive, at the
recent trial Of strength in Kentucky -
OF one hundred members of the Le-
gislature, the collar men have at most
succeeded in electing twenty-probably
not more than II or 10. In the Senate
Of that state, also, there will be dcci-
ded Wing majority. A letter from JEFF
ferson, (Ky.) under date of the 9th inst
says
Jefferson, Bullitt, Oldham, adjoining
counties, hitherto Jackson, have, to the
great establishment of the "collar" men,
returned Whig members. Henry coun-
ty, the residence Of Mr.. Lecompte, has
returned two Wings, by large major
ity. 1t does indeed seem that Jackson
ism is uprooted and exterminated in the
State.
Those who live to see the next cleo
ton of members TO Congress, from this
State, will live to see The whole Deiega-
ton WHIGs."
AThe Louisville Journal of the 9th SAYS,
there will certainly not be twenty Jack.
sonmen in the next Legislature, and
adds:
"kentucky Jacksonism is buried for
ever--buried with its heels upwards and
its head pointing to the centre. Let it
scratch. 1t will never make its appear
ance here again: iii digs out, it will
find itself upon the other side Of the

RIoTs.-lt must be subject Of re-
grct to every well disposed and orderly
citizen, that such disposition as has
been lately displayed in Philadelphia,
New-York and Charestown, (Mass. }
should exist-and it is evident that un-
less all peaceable citizens unite with the
civil authorities in suppressng these tu-
muIts, there will soon be no safety for
either property or life. We have freely
expressed our adherence OF these tran
sactions, and can view the man who af-
lords them cuuntenance, or attempts To
connect them with party politics, only as
vile incendiary, who would place the
torch in his neighbours house, ifhe could
benefit by the conhagration. The de-
struction Of the Ursuline Convent was
the act Of despcradoes, who would dis
grace any party, and who were urged to
the perpetration of the disgracelul out
rage by the desire TO plunder. Their
conduct has received universal condem-
nation without respect to parties-and Of
this we believe the Catholics throughout
the country, are well convinced. What
then, but the most mischicvous design,
and total recklessness Of consequences,
could induce any one to attempt to con-
meet this vile transaction with the poliii-
cal controversy. Happily, in this coun-
try, religious opinions are left free, and
each man is privileged to worship COP,
as his conscience may dictate. An at
tack upon the place of worship, or the
religious establishments of any denomi-
nation, therefore, arouses public indig-
nation, and unites good men of all de-
nominations in affording protection to the
injured party. Under such circumstan-
ces, none but the basest spirit could at
tempt to give a political complexion 10
the infamous affair at Charlestown.
1t is the duty, as il is the interest, of
every man to repress rioiing and disor-
der--for the fury that is to-day directed
against our ne ighbor, may o-morrow fall
on ourselves. Each should therefore
raise his voice in condemnation of law
less proceedings, and more especially
should the public press utter its denun-
Citations. We hope never to see the
time when the worship ola sect of Chris
tians can be siIenced by turbulence and
riot, or when elections can be controlled
by such illegal proceedings. Baltimore

The Post Office Report, with all the
documents ordered to be printed by the
Senate, is lying upon our table. In
looking over the appendix, we found a
list Of mail contractors in the several
States with the amount Of eri,a a'lo,can-
ces paid to each contractor. In The ta-
bic of Massachusetts, we found, TO our
utter surprise, that Mr.. Jesse Smith, of
this town, one of the largest mail con-
tractors in the State, was marked as hav-
ing received an extra allowance Of S726
90. Having always understood that
MIR. Smith had not only never received
any extra allowance, but had not even
been able to obtain the sums due by con-
tract, we called upon him for information,
and he informed us, Moi he had nerer, 10
his hno~irdge, receired any extra aiior-
ance, had nerer claimed any, and had
nerer before heard ofH. And this is not
the only instance in which money has
been charged under this head, that has
doubtless been squandcred by the cor
rupt satellites Of Major Barry. If the
Major will send on the S726 90, to our
respected townsman, we can assure him
it will pay nearly half the interest which
is due to him for sums long unpaid by his
