A sem-monthly RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPER,
TO be entitled the
"NEWPORT RELIGIOUS OBSERVER"
a 3 means are never wanting to give
notoriety to instances Of apostacy,
and to emblazon the defects found in the
characters Of those who profess piety, il
Is believed, therefore, that in a eommu-
niy like this, periodical is wanted
which will "stir up the pure minds,n es:
Pecially Of the rising generation, lest il
should be forgotten that there are vet a
few at least, who have not Stunned out

Baal:" AS truth needs no sophis,ry, no
unholy. weapons to support her cause, it
IS intended TO avoid them. entirely-te
treat all with candor--to be impartial,
and steadily and firmly TO pursue one
great object-to illustrate the MORALITY,
the PURITY, and the practical truths Of
the gospel, and the advancement ofthe
REDEEMER's kingdom in the world,
Though the Observer will not be ex-
ciusively devoted to the interests of any
one religious sect, nor contain any mat.
ter which will elicit controversy among
evangelical denominations, yet all the
friends to a.GooD moral influence friends
to the religion of the BIBLE, are respect
FULLY solicited to lend their aid in sus-
tanning what is wished might be a Judi
cious and efficient ADVOCATE Of protes-
tant religion.
Every institution which has for its OBJ
Ject the extension Of the gospel, and the
melioration Of the condition of man, will
find in the Religious Observer decided
friend. 1t is also designed to give such
notice Of all the religious moveme nts of
the entire world as its limits will admit.
As the present season presents an unu-
sual degree of christian enterprise in this
town, it is desirable that the work should
be commenced early enough to make

1t has been query with some, whether bonds

should think good one and will give You my
reasons. For instance the law makes il the du-

sufficient bondsmen from every Executor, Admin

TO deny. II is also fact, undenablc, that the
law requires the Court to insn, IN settlement, ,a'

facts agreed 10, will proceed To make another

Cay--JMonday evening. Since the

the political Information from the Conti-

more difficult to-day, and the apathy OF
speculation in the British fund is said TO
be manly caused by the want of conf
dence in the pending measures of the

Another objection TO our law Of restric'
tion, 10, that it is opposed to the theory
and practice OF all the other states with o
single partial exception. In North Caro-
lima, a freehold is still required TO vote for
a Senator. This is now the only remain
ing state in which the right tovote for any
officer is confined exclusively to land
holders.

Charter, there was no other requisite Tor
admission than that Of "being found meet

tit appears that there was an interme-
diate step between the practice of elect
ing freemen wholly by the General As
sembIy, and afterward wholly by the
towns. This is more clearly explained in
the manuscript Digest Of I7i9. The
phraseology of the act Of 1866 there va

AT pages 80 and Sc, it is enacted "That
every town, at their town-m. eting, hath
power TO make such men freemen of their
towns as they shall judge may be meet,
and may be serviceable to serve in the
towns, in town Offices. The act goes
on to say, that all such persons ma, then

does not prescribe in direct terms who

is an excluding rather than an enabling
act.
COME FATHER Turning the corner
Of Church and Warren streets the other
evening our attention was arrested by the
lender and plaintiye exclamation of
young female voice-"Come father-do,
10 come" We turned, and there stood
4 man, respectable-looking and comforta-
bly, clad, holding by one hand on the
,ailng, and supported by little girl, his I
daughter, on the other side. She was
enderly entreating drunken father to
90 home. He started of, the child cling
ng to his side, and as he leeled and al
most fell into the gutter, the little thing
literally braced herself against the pave
nent, and held him up. She still sup
ported him, as he staggered 10 and fro,
until we turned from the painful specta-
,le F.! What beautiful commentary this
lpon the affection of a daughter, and what
4 loathsome one upon the sin of drunken
ess J" ooh, that man should put an en-
emy to his mouth to steal away his brain.
