WARREN. r. l. SATURDAY. NOV. l, 1884

II has always been the peculiar boast Of Rhode
Island that within her boundaries WINS first carried
into effective operation tho system of universal tol-
eratien, in matters Of religious concernments hav-
ing first been, in this Stale fully recognized and
enforced us one of the fundamental principles in
the civil code. Before tho revolution this broad
hasis Of religious freedom was AN item in the his
tor, OF the State of which. perhaps. i, werc Lo,
vnin-gorious to bonst as it was, and still is, ono
oil the brightest and most prominent among the
bearings OF tho States escutcheon
But since the declaration that, These United
States are and ofrght ought to be, free and inde-
pendent we can perceive but little propriety in
boasting Of our freedom from religious intolerance
and persecution. whilst of our own accord, and as
free citizens, (not subects) we continue c sane
ton and enforce species Of political intolerance
and prescription, scarce less odious or bulthen-
some, than that fiom which we are 80 ready TO
boast an exception. For by that Declaration th,
citizens OF this State were not only absoyed from
their allegiance to the British crown, but declared
free aud independent Of every other power,-freo
to act for themselves, aud TO establish such form
OF government, on the general principles Of cquali-
ty and freedom set forth in the declaration as their
present or future happiness and convenience might
require. II therefore, when we wero left free to
act for ourselves, afterhavins subscribed 20 tho doc
trine that all men horn free and equal. as to
political righ,s,-we still adhere to tho Charter of
British King, which fully sanctions the odlous and
an,iquated principles of prmogeniture, and dis
franchises large class Of free citizens from par-
tic'pa'on in those rights and privileges, which we
hnd pledged ourselve. to nssie in proclsming in
alianable we discover SO much inconsistency
and absardity between our principles and our prac-
tice, that when we hear politicians of a certain
kidney boast ofour exemption from religion, in
tolerance, we are ready to hide our face for very
shame. and blush not less for their efron,ery and
inpudence. than FOR the gullibiity Of their hear
ers.

important particular. My business at present is
