The meeting held on Monday even
ng at the Court House, was called by
some Of the most sincere friends of Gen.
Jackson. 1t was called by men deeply
engaged in business, and who had no
ends TO answer but such as are connect
ed with the best interest Of the country
The National Republican party knowing
that it was the determination of Mr.. Bull
and some Of his friends to pursue such a
course at that meeting as would be most
likely to defeat the objects Of those who
convened it, did not see fit to take any
part in the proceedings. They had al
ways warned the Jackson party against
the calamities which would, sooner or
later, belal the country in consequence
of the unwise and mad proceedings Of
the Executive. If Gen. Jackson has
one friend in Rhode-Island who is more
warm, more sincere, and more persever-
ing than any other individual among his
friends, it is ROBINSON POTTER, Esq. of
this place. This gentleman is and has
been for many years one of the most en-
:erprising and active merchants we have
among US; and there is not a man in this
community that entertains stronger con-
victions than MIR. Potter does that the
policy Of Gen Jackson, in relation o the
Bank question, is utterly destructive of
the best interest Of the country at large.
The manner in which the meeting of
Monday evening was carried off by
Mr.. Bull and few others, is, as a mat
ter Of propriety Of conduct at least, much
to be regretted. We have no doubt
whatever, that every citizen Of Newport,
with the exception Of few Office hold
ers and Office seekers, is decidedly op-
posed to the course pursued by Gen.
Jackson, in relation to the Bank ques-
ton. Let a meeting be called Of those
who are opposed to the Removal of the
and in favor Of re-chartering
the Bank, and then it will be correctly
ascertained how the people of Newport
really feel upon these all-absorbing and
vital questions.

VOICE FROM TIE SENATE.

On the 9th inst. the day after the sub
ject was referred to the committee, Mr..
Webster from the committee of Finance,
made Report upon the subject of the
Removal Of the Deposites. Mr.. w.
read the Report himself from the Clerk S
Desk,-the reading occupied an hour
and half This Report came like a
clap Of thunder upon the Generals men
in the Senate. 1t recommends the adop-
ton Of Mr.. Clny's third resolution, which
declares that the reasons ofthe Sccrcta-
ry for the Removal of the Depostes, are
insufficient and unsatisfactory.

LOOK At THISi

We ask pardon of our readers for the
following article.-We ask their pardon
because we feel ourselves not a little
humbled in noticing Dutee J. Pearce in
any way, or on any occasion whatever.
Upon the important question of refer
ring the message Of Gen. Jackson, upon
the subject of the Banks refusing to give
up the funds for the payment of the rev.
olutionary pensioners, Dutee J. Pearce
voted with the "Jvhole hogmcn" to re-
fer the message to the committee orways
s. means, instead Of the Judiciary COM
mittee. The former committee manage
matters to suit the President and Kitchen
Cabinel-the latter is composed of men
who are Influenced by principle. The
object Of the Kitchen Cabinet in having
the reference TO the committee Of way s
and means was, to obtain response that
would suit AMOS KENDALL. The Kitch-
en- Cabinet succeeded by Duiee j.
Pearce's vote! the vote standing LOG to
107. Ifhe had voted on the same side
with John Quincy Adams, and the Ma
tional Republican party, the message
would have been referred TO the Judicia-
ry committee. But it should be remem-
bered, that this creature, Pearce, wrote
Amos Kendall last October, that he "had
come out against The Bank, and IN (aror Of
ihe Presidents reasons for Remoring The
Deposiies." That's enough.

THE NEW-YOR!i MEMORIAL.

MIR. SeIden, Representative from the
State Of Ncw-York, in presenting the
memorial from the merchants of the city
of New Hork on Monday the 80 inst,
said that he would take occasion to say,
that it was signed by thre e-lou,ths Of the
commercial interest of the city, and by
three fourths in number Of the merchants
OF the city. He would further suggest
that these merchants, more than any 9TH
er traders in the Union, were connected
with the commerce of this country. I'm
the last six years they had paid to tho
Government more than fifty millions Of
dollars. The signers of his memorial
had paid more than three-fourths of tho
sum collected in the city of New-York,
and more than half Of what had been paid
by the whole country. He would 60
further, and say that the memorialists had
fulfilled their contracts to the Govern.
meDt from month to month, and year to
year, with uncxampled punctuality; that
they were not connected with either Of
the belligcrent parties Of the day. that
they were men Of no party, but were
deeply interested in every measure con-
nccted with the trade and commerce Of
the country. They were men upon
whose operations depended the success

try.
They speak from practical knowledge
OF The effect of the destruction Of the ma
'ional currency upon trade. Whenever
occasions have called for the exertions of
these men, for the preservation ol' public
interests, both in peace and war, they
have not withheld their aid. In carry

Mr.. Potter thought it better to appoint
a committee to draw up memorial.
Mr.. George Hall thought it better to
do something that all would unite in.
Mr.. Bull thought it inexpedient alto
gether, and went on in opposition much
in the same strain as before.
MIR. Hunter spoke to The resolutions,-
and declared that all his theoretical o.
pinions were and had always been in ia
vor Of Bank. After speaking some
time,
DR.. Case thought best to adjourn and
do nothing at all.
The vote being finally put on the pas
sage Of the Resolutions, it was answered
principally by boys, few Jackson men,
and the anti-masons, and those who came
to annoy the meeting; but before any
thing further was done, on motion Of
Henry Bull, seconded by DR.. Case, the
meeting broke up, and those who felt The
subject to be serious and important one,
retired in absolute disgust.

had a new church-new officers-new go

new customs and habits; but the Oak uas

village green, it spread its luxurious and
refreshing branches; whilst the young car

of many festive hour, many joyous

oaks had been planted, and had been cut
down; other trees had luxuriated and

one oak to the village-others we're oaks

Oak; if two lovers gave rendezvous, 1T

rish wished to address the inhabitants,
they met under the Oak. When the church
was pulled down and divine service was
chanted in the open air, the Oak at once
sheltered the assembly from the rays oil
the sun and from the showers of heaven.
The candidates for senatorial honors spoke
to the electors of the spot, and neighbor-

TO exercise and drill under "the Oak. -
And when even winter was most drear,
and the storm most piiiless, still the Oak
raised his venerable head, and the thought
that the spring would return, and the tree
and the green be gay once more aud en-
llvening. softened the severity Of the hour,
and mluga,ed even the roughness Of the
blast. The Oak was constant bene fac.

friends might be faithless-olher trees
might perish or die--other shades might
be destroyed BY the interested or the pow
erful; but "the Oak" belonged to the vii.
lage-and The hearts of all the village for
all times belong 10 him. But even the
Oak was mortal-even the Oak was dcs-
tined TO perish; and in the midst Of hor.
rlble tempest, which desolated this once
happy and once prosperous. but now sad
and Responding village, the lightning from
the skies descended upon the Oak--tore
from AZ, ITS bfsnches--struck IL even 10 its
roots. and the Oak fell and was no morei
at the Oak there was no more singing & no
more dancing no more caTroling and no
more meeting; and the green became
more deserted; and simple monument
marked the place where The venerable
friend Of the village had once stood; and
it became deserted, lonely, and sad. And
the first days of grief were as the days of
an orphan who mourneth over the tomb
Of her mother, and as the grief Of widow
who is suddenly bereft of husband, and
as the tears oil a mother who weepeth
over the loss of her only, her virtuous, her
beloved son. And no eye was dry. and
no cheek was rosy or healthy; for all felt
the loss of the Oak to be the greatest Of
all losses; and the village was in mourning
And TO the credit of lhat village be it said,
the mourning was long mourning, and
the tears were olt-shed tears. and the
grief was not of short duration, and "the
Oak is engraved on the hearts, and hangs
up in the form of pictures, and paintings,
in the cottage of every villager; and pieces
OF the branches, and of the trunk. and Of
the root, are handed down as precious
relics from father 10 son, and FROM genera

the village, Lafayette has been to the
people, and not merely TO the people Of
France, but Of the United States, Of A.

of Spain, Of Portugal, of the Republic Of
South America-and in one word, the

Police Office, august l1.-.A Lumber
mans Uisit TO We,c York.-A young man
named Lewis Desbro, residing at Barton,
Tioga county, came to this city few days
ago with a cargo Of lumber, which having
disposed of, he determined to crafty his
curiosity with view Of the wonders of
New York. For this purpose he was yes
terday perambulating the city, and gazing
with establishment on all the novelties
which presented themselves, when his at
tention was attracted by a crowd assem-
bled in some street, running parallel with
Grand street, but the name of which he
cannot recollect On going up to the
crowd, he found that it was occasioned
by nothing new or novel or worth relating,
but merely parcel Of blackguards assem-
bled to see two greater blackguards box
ing. Having however had the trouble of
walking half street to get a view of the
'rencontre, he wished to see little more
of it, and was looking on with considera-
BILE attention, when a very genteel looking
civil sort Of a young man came up to him,
and asked him what occasioned the crowd.
Mr.. Desbro having told him as much as
be knew of the matter, the stranger then
asked him if he was native of New York.
