The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1834-12-17

Providence, during the late session ofthe Assembly
NEWPORT REPRESENTATION.
The Newport members met in consultation on
the subject of Mr.. DORIS resolutions, and friend
of ours having over heard them have obtained
the following dialogue, which we here present to
our readers
Hazard-Well, here we are in devil OF box;
old Potter has thrown i'll this cursed fire brand !.
and what shall we do with it2 If we don't agree
to this amendment, how shall we carry these coun-
try members of ours the g,een horns cant under
stand any thing but money, and indirect taxation
but damien, they understand that as well as
any body j leave you gentlemen, to take your
own course. | shall watch the tide
Ruggles.-i am as sorry as any body, that we
have upon this snag but wnat remains TO be
done five support the amenCment, 1t will be a
sort of abandonment of friends and if we do not,
our motives will be suspected and what Mr.. Hazard
says is worthy to be thought of But after, all sup
pose pinned up, it vii be difficult to bolt
wish the old man was here il my place, guess
he would find way get over 1t or under It,
Cranston-Fie, Mr.. Ruggles | am sorry to see
you wet in seasoning. am sorry to see any man
who calls himself Whig, so chicken hearted rath-
er than not fight tht old crtter, that Jackson,
would pick up old nails--I would forego every
thing that might begot by hinching, Yes, ! would
saw wood for living and then be as independent as
wood-sawyer What not stick by the Bank, tooth
and nail! Whatshould we now be, but for the no
bic exertion of tie Bank? Who wound us up and
set us agoing, When we were all run down! The
Bank Yes, gentlemen, last year you were com
pleely prostrae, out and detunct, and but Tor
that quzica .ack Downing, we could not have
kept our fac. up HILL and even with his aid it was
mighty hard work. But the Bank the glorious
Banki thrw itself into the breach, and saved ms
from the gasp of that cursed old cr'teT, and gave
us time tooreathe and rally and now see what a
fgure we are able TO make see how things have
Frightened Old Jackson and Van Buren, are 60
ing off me staee-and the Wings are coming on.
tell YOU heaven is on our side but even that will
abandon us if we are not true the Bank, and the
Bank will deem us cold friends, if we consent to
tax it, after the great sums already spent and still
spending by her in defence of the Constitution.
tell you gentlemen, we were sent here to stick, and
stick we must.
Steyens-I am a man of but few words, but what
Mr. Cranston says, think is about my mind. When
| agreed to come here, Mr.. Hazard told me there
would be difficulty in knowing what to do for says
he, " Cranston is always on his seat, like old
setting hen, and he'll always tell you which way to
now between you both AIN some both
cred but so far as now see into it, | believe the
quire is right when he says, stick"
hRg-Aithoughl was educated at yondcr UnlVer-
ity, and waded through all the maZes of science,
md acquitted mysefin every branch of knowledge,
o the entire satisfaction of my TUTORS and received
NJ qst 1 Sm the
the study of the law, and perfecting myself in all
the mysteries of legal controyersy-and afterwards
practced in my profession, and kept an office, and
was short time Clerk of the Supreme Court of the
State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations
never was so completely at loss what TO do. As
for expedicnts, | never have been schooled in that
science for always looked up to my father for ad-
in oil Snob
'cly more on your than my opinion. | am,
however, Wing, and think the safest side to err
f we are doomed to do So is on the Wing side.
Mr. Hdmmett-l was going to say, that Mr.
Mr.. Haaard-05~Stay beg the gentlemen to
lllow me one moment for am engaged this even
ng to Gencral--'s to a card party, and ii is now
ate and must go directly ! tell you do think
,rctty well what you are about it is easy to make
Mistakes but hard TO rectify them, as Jim Simmons
aid at the time of our Masonic examination you
nay get your heels trpped up before you are aware
If 1t. Old Potter is an old fox, and looks down
Ill the time to see what you are doing. tell YOU
ooll well to the country interest," the old snake is
III the time trying to draw away what little we have
,fit, and we hold that little by a scorched thread. .
you knowwe should have lost Portsmouth and Smith /
icld, but for old BIS money, and that cant be
,clicd upon again.

pointing his finger at Cr0nst0n wHh the other.
tell you the devil will be to pay if you don't look
,ut but must go.
Hommct-Well, was going to say that we
we're getting in the wind, and am glad Hazard is
gone I've heard say he had been the ruin of our
party, and now begin to believe so-What would
ne be willing to tax the United States Bank would
hink that would be ingratudc, as much if a
man came to my store to get quart of gin on ere
Hit; | mean such man as | didn't want to trust, /
md trusted him purely because | would obige
him and his famy-and he afterwards went and
complained of my selling without a license.
Mr.. CrdRSt0n-l cannot forbear to express my
'stonlShment at Mr.. Hazard. But the old rat has .
been caught often that his tail has become sore
He was not so afraid ofpotcal responsibility, when
he accepted the place of delegate 10 the Hartford
Convention; but YOU know a man gets sktish by /
90. -.
