ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS OF THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE

NTT The following is official copy of the
Resolutions passed by the House of Representa-
tives of r. Island, with the ayes and noes each
resolution.
Resolued, That this General Assembly regards
with much solcitude and regret the present condi-
ton of our political affairs which, in their opinion
is to be attributed to departure in some essential
points, from the spirit of the Constitution and of the
laws, by the present administration of the general
Government.
=. Resolued, That the removal by the Execu-
tive of the Public Funds from the custody in which
they belonged by law and contract the disposition
manifested by the Executive to take the entire
troll of the Treasury, and to interfere with the other
Departments of the Government the frequent re-
moval of useful public officers; and the political
use which has been made of the General Post Of
tce are among the causes ofthis soicitude and re-
gret, and by themselves, and their consequences,
tend directly to change in the character, and
eventually in the form of our Government.
3. Resolred, That this Assembly are decidedly
of the opinion expressed by the House of Repre-
sentatves at their May session, 1884, and confirmed
by experience that a National Bank is indisPensa-
bic TO the proper collection, safe keeping, and dis
bursement ofthe Public Revenues, as well as for
the regulation of the currency, and for the most
convenient transactions of commercial affairs.
4. Resolred, That the present Bank of the UNI
ted States ought to he re-chartered, another IN
corporated with such notifications and provisions
as will render such an institution most useful to the
country, and secure in the hands of the Nauoha'
Legislature the control of the Public Treasury.
Provided, that if any Branch of any such Bank
shall be located and established in this State, 1t shall
he liable for and shall pay the same rate OF tax rs
shall be paid by the State Banks of this State
: 5. Resolred, That by union and cooperation
throughout the country. without regard to minor
differences, among all those who entertain the opin-
ions which are here expressed, the supremacy of the
laws NAV and ought to be vindicated from those
abuses Of power against which we havo solcmnly
protested.

tivcs ~ Congress.

Hard Labor conducicc to Heath and Long Life.
A young man at the age of eighteen years, 1924,
was condemned TO the gallics in France OF account
of high crimc for the long period of one hundred
years, which was probably intended by the Judge to
contine him for life. Remarkable as it may appear,
in 1924 the man being in perfect health, after an
unremttng series of hardshps of one entire century,
was discharged being exactly llS years old. On
visiting Lyons, he laid claim to an estate which be-
longed to his family. NJ. Berthom the possessor,
who considered his title undoubted, by the advice OF
his own lawyer, paid the old heir f4, 800 to settle
the business and free his property from embarrass-

FIRE AT NEW-BEDFORD.

From anotc received yesterday by the Postmaster
ofhis place, We gather the following intelligence
A fire broke out at New Bedford yesterday morn
ing at about s o'clock and at the time when the
stage left that place for this, it had already con-
sumcd six buildings among which were Capt Black
mer's mansion, b. ID. Almy's bake-house, James
Wady's shop and J. 6. Eastons dwelling. At half
past seven, it believed that the progress of the
flames would be arrested without much further dam
age.

Mr.. PEcKmAM,-In opposition to 1" Two Old Re-
pubicans," would observe, that the practice of re-
moving mcumbents from office for political Offences
is very apt to be carried to an unwarranbc length.
do not deny that those in office ought to support
the administration, which supports them, unless that
administration should be tyrannica and faulty in
the extreme. Even then it would be more consist
ent for those employed to resign their cmployments
than continue to serve an administration which they
condemn. Their voting put out of the question.
Ny own opinion u.s. that if | could not consistently
support the administration which gave me n living,
would not vote against it and still continue in its
service. As it respects the two permanent lnspec-
tors of this port, it is to be hoped from the character
of our Collector, that he will not be influenced by
any anonymous newspaper writer, to remove two val
liable officers for the purpose ofrepacing them with
men not so conversant with their duties, and it may
be, not any better Jackson men eithcr-This is the
opinion of ONE OLD JAcKsoNMAN.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The tail end of the Constitutional Convention for
this state met on the 10Th instant according their
previous adjournment in Providence. They adjourn
cd the first time for want of quorum, and at the last
meeting, VIC understand, only ten or twelve MEM
bcrs appeared What authority, besides their own
impudence, they had for meeting on the tenth, it
would puzzcl any but themselves to tc the As
sembly having refused to authorize any such meeting
by not auhorising the towns to fill up their quota of
delegates. But those who met, we suppose, were
privileged men, such as deem themselves Wings, or
in other words, born to give laws to the country,
without the consent of the people The whole was

fate of the rest of the family From Providence.
and Newport we know, and how many other towns
We cannot exactly say, the Grand Bank-Tory Fra
teraity were caucuscd to prevent any delegates be-
ing chosen who were not Bank to the back bone
The whole plan was set OH foot by the most discor
dant and restless spirits, and such PERSONAL
ly hostile to another every other point but
that of vfying their bcttcrs and when the two
shafts poisoned for every other purpose against
another, were directed with the venom at one
and the same object, how harmless they fell! If
we could purchase such men for what they are re-
ally WORTH and sell them for what they think they
are worth, we should soon be able to set upa banl,
as large as the mammoth of our own

GIVE understand by gentleman recently from
New York, that the opposition party in that city con-
slider the Resolutions passed by the II. Island House
Of Representatives injurious in the highest degree,
they say the Bank is PROSTATE and its advocates
must share its fate.-That the effect on thcis eec-
tiOn was the reverse of what the House expected,
and that the party in New-York regretted ex-
cccdingy that their friends in Rhodc-Isand did not
play their game better. In plain fact they say the
members who voted for said resolutions stood very
much in need of wiser heads to direct them.

The undersigned, members of the Masonic Fra

those associated in it, and that just regard the

They, therefore, do hereby renounce and aban-
don all connexion with it, forever.
They, at the same time, feel it to be their duty to
declare that so far their own experience extends
there is nothing in the character of the Institution to
Justify the fears entertained with regard to it by

The following article from English paper will
raise smile and nothing but smile in the face Of
the republican who reads it. How contcmptibly ig-
norant, how vilcly corrupt must the author fsuch
stuff he. From its tone should suspect it to be
an cffi,son of Barring g. Co. some other purse
proud minon the Bank. 1t may suit well enough
the meridian of London, but will hardly find favor
among the stern democracy ofthe Union Had the
writer waited few weeks till the accounts of the
late elections could have crossed the Atlantic we
think his silly remarks would have issued stiIl-born
from his noddc, and never found their way into the
columns of newspaper.
The great majority of the frccmen of this great
Republic are very modestly styled mob by this
English Aristocrat. BAH
The reader will perceive that the Aristocracy of
England have united with the Wings of '3l, of this
country, to ruin our vencratcd President.
1--WE are inclined to suspect that Mr. Jackson is
in his doiagc. Like king Lear, in the play, he is
"poOr old man three and upwards" If he
thinks he can beat the Aristocracy and the Money
Ocracy in America, he is miseraby mistaken The
Mob is dangerous reed to lean on. Wealth rules
all, governs ALL makes ALL and supreme in the Re-
piblic-and although, he may struggle against its
influence for short time, he will be defeated in the
end: he may deprive the National Bank of privil-
cges: he cannot divcst its proprietors of power"
