SHAMEFUL.-Wet think it is high time
that some notice was taken Of the shameful man
ner in which many of the newly painted build
ings and fences in this town, have recently been
deiaced by a set of idle boys who suffered Ito
the utter disgrace Of their parents and irends,) to
run about our streets altogether unheeded and un-
restrained in their wicked and abominable career
Several Of our most respectable subscribers have
requested us to notice these infamous practices,
mortifying US they must be to every good citizen
Of tho town. Is there no law, we ask, against
such outrageous conduct! What inducement is
there for any person TO paint his house, his out
buildings or fences, il gang Of lawless boys arc
suffered, unnoticed, to cut, scratch and other wise
di.igure them almost as soon as the paint is put
on. Much has been done In this place within
year or two past (perhaps more than has ever
been done in the same period, since the recollec-
ton of our Oldest inhabitants towards its gene
raj improvement Tin building, repairing, painting,
&c) by all classes Of the communty.-A spirit
one who feels attached to his native place must DO
proud Of Although it is well known that much
more would have been done during the present
year, than is now going forward, 10 beautiiy and
adorn our ancient town, had not the alarming
pressure Of the times almost paralyzed all enter
prize, still what has been done and what may
hereafter be done, will be comparatively Of little
consequence-as regards improving the appear
ance Of our buildings, SC. ifsome ellectual means
are not adopted to put stop to the grievances so
frequently complained Of 1t is to be hoped that
the Town ut its next meeting, will consider the
subject and pass law by which every one con-
cerned in such disgraceful conduct may be brought
to cOndsn punishment.

Carthagena on the 4th ult. The French
were expected to make an attack on that
place, on the 18th inst. in consequence
of there having been no sufficient repair

AT meeting of the friends of State
Constitution, held at the State House, in
Newport, pursuant to public notice, May
9th, 1884: LEVI HALE, was chosen
Chairman; JOHN III. WEEDEN, Sec'ry.
The object Of the meeting was ex-
planned by the Chairman.

TO be speedily formed for this State,
which shall limit and define the powers
of the Legislative and other Departments
of the equalizo represen-
tation--place the Judiciary beyond the
influence Of party politics, for the term of
their offices; and which shall extend po-
litical rights to tax-paying citizens, IN

polite, a majority of the phy sical force
of the State, and especially all native
born white male citizens, over twenty
one years Of age, on their paying a tax,
or submitting to other equivalent politi-
cal burthens; and that any Constitution
which does not embrace all these OBJ
jects, ought to be, and will be, unaccep-
table to the people of this State.
This Resolution was supported by the
mover, and by MIR. King, Of Charles
town, and Mr.. Door, Of Providence land
passed unanimously.
1t was voted, that the above Resolu-
ton and proceedings Of this meeting, be

We learn that the President and Di-
rectors Of the Bank Of the United States
were summoned to appear this day, be-
fore the Committee of lnvcsti CATION, cat
the North American Hotel, in the city
of Philadelphia, and to bring with them
the credit books of said Bank, showing
the Indebtedness Of individuals to said

Accordingly, the President of the
Bank aud all the Directors repaired in
person to the Hotel; appeared before the
Committee and declined producing the
Books at the Hotel. And SO the matter
stands for the present.
The following Resolution had been
previously adopted. Ii is really pity

ton Of It's ministers.
