A FRANK ACCOMPLISHMENTS friend
Of ours, an honest farmer, called at our
Office day or two since, and said he
wanted to subscribe for our paper-that
he intended to have done so good
while ago, but he could not find time to
stop long enough while he was in town;
adding that he had no doubt he had been
great loser in consequence of neglect
ing to subscribe so long-not only in be-
ing deprived the pleasure Of perusing
the news, and other entertaining matter,
but in not seeing the advertisements--and
knowing who had advertised "Stock for
SALE" and what farms were to be sold,
SC. He kne,c that he had lost the pur.
chase Of valuable farm, that exactly
suited him, in consequence Of not taking
the paper, and he was resolved to put it
OF no longer-The expense Of the pa
per he was sensible was nothing in COM
parison to its value.
We felt grateful to our friend for his
subscription, as well as compliment, and
could not refrain from thinking that his
frank acknowledgement would be the
language Of many others, ifthey did but
take the right view of things.

HON. T.. II. POTTER.

The r. l. Republican Of Yesterday contains an
article, the writer Of whicn, (who we have no
doubt was Pearce hmsef,) with much osienta-
,ion and parade. introduces "the Hon. Elisha
X. Potter Of South Kingston, and the Hon.
Dutee j. Pearce ofthis place." in close union,
as if they were great friends and compeers; and
representing them as the two great political COM
panons and brother-chefs, Uho hare been Sc
ieeted (as the writer has it,) as the objects TO-
wnrds whom the 1chole hatred ofthe Black
Haaok party in this state, hare been erciusire-
ly deroted." How will Mr.. Potter look when he
sees this compliment We are almost tempted to
carry over to him the paper containing it, that we
may see the indignant lowering ofthnt brow ofhis.
and the contemp'uous curl of that lip. Did Mr.
Potter ever acknowledge Dutee J. Pearce M n
.fi'iend, much more, ms an equni-or as any other
than an instrument 1t seems TO us, that this alni-
liar claim to partnership and equality. is rather I'M
favorable to Mr.. Potter's interests just at this time.

being the fact, the outrageous abuse now
heaped upon Mr.. Lowell; the bitter per-
sonal hatred and rancour manifested in
the attack render il certain that was die
tated by an old enemy-by THE enemy
who was Mr.. Lowell's secret accuser in
1908; and who, (if Dutee Pearce is for
once to be believed, has now, after the
lapse Of almost thirty years-having 80
long cherished his bitter feelngs-ngain
assaled and aspersed the character Of
Mr.. Lowell behind his back, and The me-
mory Of his friend in the grave. What
other man can it be (? Where is there
another such man? Surely one such
enemy s enough. BY this enemy Mr..
Lowell has long been envied, hated and
feared. Envied, for his superior talents
and virtues-hated, because injured by
because he despiscd and
had power to expose all selfish, unprnci-
pied politicians; all traitors to their friends
and party.

TRISTAN BURGEs. The Providence
Journal of Friday contains an Address
to the people of Rhode Island, by Mr..
Burgess, in which he vindicates himself
from the accusations Of the Republican
Herald, which alleges that he had abus-
ed the franking privilege. The follow
ing is an extract
"Nlorc than 5000 copies Of the Pres
ldent's Protest, printed at the Globe
office, were folded and covered by the
Messengers of the Ilonse; and an equal
number by those Of the Senate. 1t n
probable, that not less thnn 5000 ofthese
fell to the allotment of Rhode Island. -
II was said, at ashington, by way of a
pleasant joke, that the whole State had
been covered twice over with this kind
Of manure; and was told, when it WAS
found, by the April election, that the
State seemed to grow less and less fer
tile IN the crop Of Jackson politics, that I
ought, as the rubbish was then plouphed
in, to give the land a top dressing with
something more congeniai TO the soil, and
more suitable to the habits of cultivation
