all he can to keep the peace, and suffer no
bad man to advise him to the contrary. Amt

NEWPORT,
Thursday, Oct. 2B, 1891.

I THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY of this State
will convene in Providence on Tuesday next,
the 2Sth inst. The situation of the nation at
this moment, is of a character so intensely
and fcarfully interesting, that no man who
loves his country and duly estimates the value
of the infinite and unnumbered blessings that
have been hitherto scattered in all its path
way, can anticipate the transactions of our
Legislature at the coming session, without
sending upward to the Throne of Mercy deep
and spirit-stirring prayer that the members Of
that body may correctly estimate the vast re-
sponsbility which rests upon any every indi-
vidual member. We need not stop to ex-
plain how it may happen that upon the cleo
ton of Senator to fill the place Of Gov.
Knight, may hang the future wel-being and
the final destiny of this republic. This truth
must be apparent to all-for at this moment
the SENATE of the United States ALONE
is the sole remaining obstacle that prevents
Gen. Jackson from exercising absolute, un-
controlled and uncomfortable power through
out the length and breadth of this once hap
py land. Let there be in the Senate of the
United States majority in favor of this mis-
cradle old mans folly and wickedness, and
then will come the end of republican govern
ments; then will it have been demonstrated
that the illustrious band of patriots who toilcd
and blcd, and died in our revolutionary strug-
Gle, toiled and bled and died for no higher OBJ
ject than simply to set in motion an expert
ment, an unsuccessful experiment of sclfgo-
vernment-then will it be seen and fell and
realized, that our government was but rope
of sand-then, too, will it be seen that this
generation of men are left the degenerate
sons of pure and patriotic sires-the "mclan-
choly ghosts of dead renown." But we WILL
NOT despair of the republic. Move will
yet little longer cherish the fond hope that
this nation shall be redeemed from its present
low and degraded stuation-that the great
national chastisements which are now sus-
pended over us, shall pass away from us for
ever Let the members Of our present Legis-
lature act wisely, let them act with prudence
and decision, land without decision of cha
racter they cannot act prudcntly) and Rhode
Island will then continue to hold the enviable
situation which she has hitherto maintained
among her sister States.

A CHINESE LADY.--The ship Washington,
from Canton, which arrived at New York on
Saturday last, brought n Chinese lady-the
first ever in America. She has been import
cd purposely for exhibtion--to show her it,
lie feet. The process by which the feet of
these oriental damsels are kept in nfante
dminutyeness all their lives, appears to be
most inhuman. At n very early age, (says the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiscr,) "the toes Of
the foot, excepting the principal, or "big toe"
are forced underneath the sole; and the foot
itself is so compressed and bound as to pre-
vent its growth. The great toe is the only
one visible, when arrived at womanhood and
ifthe sweet creature is ve,y beautiful, she is
left to twaddle about all her life, on pair of
feet scarcely large enough for some Of the
bronze ladies who stand upon the mante pie
ces of our dining rooms, holding lamps in
their hands to light up the eyes ofthe ladies',
and enable them to eat their ices and sweet
meats"

NEw-JERsEY ELEcTIoN.-As nearly rs It
can be ascertalned, the Jackson majority in
New jersey is 1892 in 1882, it was 5Il.-
In 1893, it was 6732. Increase since 1880
!554. Dimnution since last year, 5000. In
the Legislature, last yenr, there were but
eight Wing members. There will now be
twcnty-eight. The Tories have elected thr-
ty-six Misunderstanding majority of eight,
in joint ballot. The Wings, as Whigs, have
done well. The Jackson ma jorities, in those
counties where they have been accustomed
to obtain them, have been either reversed, or
greatly reduced. But deep game, unknown
to us, has been playing in the lower counties,
where the Friends mostly reside, the result
of which has given the State again to the
Tories. In New-Jersey, as elsewhere, the
sect of the Friends having become divided
parties, known as IIicksites and Orthodox,
controversies in regard to the Socictys pro.
pcrty have arisen, which have been carried
into the Courts of Law. In one of these, tho
able and accomplished FRELINGHUYsES, was
retained us counsel for the Orthodox party
and by way of furnishing him-not for the
purpose of supporting the Tory party,-it is

We copy the following paragraph, frol
from Noah's Evening STAR
MASKS OFF.

We never saw party so overloycd as the
Tory concern at their victory in New Jersey;
they were actually beside themselves, and IN
the fulness of their transport, honestly ad-
mtted that snow they had hopes of carrying
New York." No you don't, my jewels. N.
York depends on no other State for victory,
for examples-or for precedence. She is HER
SELF ALONE and the result in New Jersey
will only stimulate the Wings to make great
er efforts to Sape the Country and tie Consti-
tuition. New York, we repeat, is safe-the
City and the State are safe. These little to-
ry dashes of triumph are to us like drops OF
water thrown OH the cataract of Niagara.

These particulars embrace, we believe, oil
the facts of the case, without colorlng or par
tialty. The scene altogether was most as
graceful to the country. The houses de-
stroyed were the property of an unofiendlng

dustry. His loss will probably not fall short
of 5000. NJ.
The annexed paragraph is from the ma
tional Gazette. 1t is temperate and judi
cious -
We have heard much respectable testimo-
ny on the subject, and have come TO the con
ciusion that the Wings were not the aggres-'
sors; but we leave the question to the )udg-
ment of the impartial. Happily, no disorders
occurred yesterday; and it may be expected
that legal inquiries and process will be allow
ed to take place without further violence or
tumult. of which the result is always sheer
evil. The cry of Bank ruffians, Bank assas-
sins, Bank stipcndiaries, raised whenever an
afiray happens, is lawless and slanderous I'D
the highest degree. 1t cannot be that any
man of sense snpposes the institution to have
had share or interest in riots or outrages OF
any description. Such an Imagination wou'd
be not only gratuitous, but positively absurd
beyond the privilege Of partisan credullty.

FROM OUR CoRREsPONDENT,
Zanes,alle, Ohio, Oct. 18th, 1884.

You requested me to inform you OF the re-
suit of our elections, as soon as 1t should
transpire. The battle has been fought, and
the Wings are triumpha mngly,
glorously triumphant. The average majority
for the Wing ticket, in this county, is about
1900. In 1882, the majority for Lucas in this
(Muskingum) county, was 152--and now
Findlay beats him I300 IIowcll's (Whg)
majority over Mitchell, ivan BUREN, is about
the same. Mitchell's majority over Stanbcr-
nv in 1882, was 100, in this county. This
difference is rather more than the most san
guine anticipated. The People have literally
rushed /" to the rescue"
| The intelligence from the neighboring
counties, is also of the most cheering char
acter In Perry county, where 500 or 600
majority for Lucas was anticipated, Findlay
has 2G5 majority. In Morgan, which | be-
lieve, gave Lucas a respectable majority in
1882, Findlay beats him about $50. In
Washington county, the votes are about 3 to
|, against the ofiice-holders. In Guernsey,
and Belmont also, the good cause has sue
ceeded: by what majoritles | have not yet
learned. So we do things in Ohio! Heaven
grant that your city and State may go and
do likewise.
Two years ago, when we demonstrated n
ganst the corruptions and abuses in the pub
lie Offices of this neighborhood; and gave the
Commissioner of the General Land Office to
understand that we could not continue to sup
port the Administration, if it continued to
countenance the frauds in the Land Office,
we were told scornfuly that they "did not
care for ,tew potes in .M,skingum."
That disregard of public opinion, and the
revolving corruptions which Mr.. Van Buren,
and the Kitchen Cabinet sanctioned, drove
off the original and most efficient supporters
of General Jackson, and Muskingnm stands
regenerated. For the contumely of arrogant
and upstart public fnnctionaries, we give the
strong voice of an outraged, insulted, and op-
pressed Pe0pLe.

or the purpose of sustaining their idol in his
unhallowed designs upon the liberties Of the
country. Aware of the fact that the wings
have decided majority in grand committee

CoysEcTIcUT ELEcTIoN.-The tories are
every where loudly boasting of their great
gain in Connecticut at the recent election
If an increase of bare fifty votes, with such
efforts and devices as were resorted to by
them in Connecticut, causes them so much
Joy, what rejoicing should the wings not feel
and express when hundreds if not thousands
are daily quitting the tory ranks in all parts
of the country. But let us take look at this
great tory gain, by comparing the result of
the late election with that of the Spring cleo
ton for Governor, in that State.

NEW.JERSEY ELECTION.

| What have the tories gained, too, in New
Jersey, that they should shout so vehcmently
ut this time. Let us also, take look at New
IJcrsey.-The following from the Ncw-York
Courier and Enquirer, will explain the whole
niatter:-
New-Jersey in 1899, declared in favor of
Jackson and msrule, and elected her eight
Jackson electors, six members to Congress, a
majority of the Legislature and Council, and
| IGovernor-all Jackson! BY the most ex-
traordinary use OF the Post Office money and
other unforeseen circumstances in the western
section Of the State, they have succeeded in
counteracting the change in public opinion,
which every where exhibited itself in the
eastern counties, and behold the State remains
as 1t ,eas-chained to the car of Van Buren,
ism, Jacksonism, and Toryism. And for this
the Tories of New York are in ccstacics -
For this they fired salute Of one hundred
guns, marched in procession to Tammany
Hall, and there, under the influence of this
small favor, held great public meeting of
congratulation
That they should rejoice so excessively at
preserving New Jersey from the general ruin
which is sweeping from the land every ves-
| tige Of Torypsm, ought not be a subject of
wonder; but our friends should properly un-
derstand the grounds of this rejoicing, and
the additional confidence it is calculated to
give then in the success of our cause. When
we see party which one year ago number
ed in its ranks sepen-eighHs of the freemen of
the United States, rejoicing so unboundedly,
not that they have added another State to
their numbers, but that by combination of
circumstances and resort the most open and
palpable bribery they have sared the little
State Of New Jersey, and prevented her fol-
lowing in the footsteps of Virginia, Louisia-
ma, North Carolina, kentucky, Illinois, India
ma and Maryland, it is indeed calculated to
cheer the friends Of the Constitution, and urge
them on in the great cause for which they arc
struggling. Let them rejoice say we; but in
the meantime, let us examine their account
current Of victories and defeats.
In looking at their balance sheet made out
on the 1st Of April last, only seven months
since, we find the following Standing to the
credit of the Tory Jackson and Fan Buren,
Party; viz:
Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Ken
tucky, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, New Jer-
sey, Maine, Ohio, New York, One County in
Delaware.
