Cook, who was recently kicked ont OF
the orthodox church in Boothbay, for
rudeness, we believe to the women, has
recently been settled over a society of
restoration universalists in Massachusetts,
This fashionable vice ofrudeness TO tho
women, seems to grow upon the clergy
of late (; but we hope that it is not true
that the uuiversalists harbor such fellows.
The cruelest action a man can be
guilty. Of, is the robbing a young woman
Of her affections, with no other design
than wantonly to abandon her.

ANDREW JACKSON AND THE DEMOC-
RACY OF ENGLAND

Mr.. Cox, of this town, who last week returned
from England, aud who has most intimate acquain-
tance with the political principles of the working
classes in that country, informs us that the most
lively interest is taken by them in the present
urcs of Andrew Jackson towards the bank, and that
10 a man they rejoice at his determination to put II
down. They view it altogether as contest beticeeR
the People and the arisocrdcy: and say that on its
issue depends whether we are to be free RcpubLc,
or eventually to be as ensaved the old countries
of Europe-The inhabitants of Manchester have
prepared an ADDRESS TO ANDREW JACKSON, approv-
ing ofhis stand against the Arstocracy, aud tender
ing their thanks for his services in the cause of"The
People and Liberty This address was to have
been brought over by Mr. Cox for presentation but
so unanimous was the wish to sign it, that the Com
mittec could not get it ready by Mr. Cs departure.
If any proof were wanting that The Bank party of
this country. and the arisocracy of England, are the
same in principe-or that the sef-styled Wigs
are in very deed the genuine Tories it may be found
in the facts connected with the aforementioned ad-
dress The Democracy of Manchester IT was who
first awakened the Aristocracy ofEngand from their
long sleep ofsccurlty-who first raised their voice a.
ginst the long rule foppres who first shed blood
i'm the cause of rcform-who have determined never
to relax in their cxertions until their proud oppres-
sors. the canker-worms of their country, shall be
subdued and the flag of liberty float triumphan,ly
in the breeze These are the men, who, viewing a
similar contest going in this country. would cheer
us on in the battc-these are the men who hail IN
drclc Jackson the great Hero Of liberty who re-
gard him the Champion Of the People, and who
thank him for the services he has rendered the go
Sjous cause they advocate. bv the heroic hrmness
with which he maintains the Peoples ghis against

RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
NEWPORT, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER -, 1884.

The Gen. Assembly Of this state will meet in
Providence on Monday next. A senator in Con-
eress to supply the place of Mr.. Knight will proba-
bly then be chosen. We shall therefore have
an opportunity of satisfying ourselves, which are the
stronger, the friends of the present national Admin
istraon or their opponents. 1t will be recollected
that both parties claimed the victory after the Aug
Elections We have never doubted however, that
the former have clear majority in grand committee
of at least five. OF course it depends solely upon
union among ourselves, to choose an administration
man to succeed Mr.. Knight in the twenty fourth
Congress. We sincerely hope our friends will bear
in mind the important fact that enough has been
already done by the Administration party in the
several states to give the majority in the Senate
the next congress. We are sure Of one in Maine,
NewHampshire, New-Jersey, and Misslsippi-in
all four which taken from one side and added to the
other. makes difference Of eight, which with one
from r. Island in place of an opposition man. Will
make ten The opposition IN the present Senate
made up as they Of Banhites, Nuihers and
IIartrJid CUmeudoites, cannot muster II greater
majority than six to seven therefore have rea-
son to look for better times in the next congress
Especially when we consider that the House Of
Representative will support the Administration IN
the next Session by a majority more than double
that which it now possesses.
Alas for the pic-bald party of Nationals, Null
hfiers Banllitcs, Tory Wings, Hartford Convention
ties and Rcnegades where will yc be found on the
first Monday in December 1885! Echo viii answer
ed where We answer, buried in the tomb of all the

ANDREW JACKSON RECOGNISED BY
THE DEMOCRACY ABROAD.

1t must be gratifying to the democracy of the Uni
ted States to perceive that the laboring classes be-
yond the Atlanc-those who sigh for liberty-who
pray for the privilege ofturning their own toll to their
own advantage, instead of having their substance
devoured by lords, pensioners and public creditors
look to the American Patriot President as the
champion of those principles, through the propaga-
ton of which, under his auspices, they indulge the
hope of deverancc torthemselves and their children
The progress oflibera principles in England is such
for the last few years. that think the expectations
of the friends of free Goyernment-of justice and
humanity, may well look forward to the ultimate
redemption of the People of England and Ireland
Gfnot ofhe Contnent) from the thraldom of grasp
ing corrupt arristocracy-which is to a nation, what
the lion, the tiger, the leopard with the ackall, and
the other lesser depredaons are to the denizens of

Curious Coincidence.-W the Kent East In
dlaman was on fire in the Bay of Biscav the second
in command, the present Lieuenant-C Colonel NJ
Gregor when all hope ofreliefhad expired, wrote a
letter describing their situation, which he enclosed
in bottle, and committed to the deep. Soon after
his proyidenhal escape, and return to England, he.
was appointed to the command Of the 03d Iiichlan-
ders, Ihen stationed at Barbados, to which place he
proceeded Immediately Before his arrival, or soon
after it, the identical bottle was picked up by one
of the men of 93rd on the coast of the island, and
It's contents brought to the very man who had writ
ten them.

Great Discorery.-Nc,o time piece curious
piece of machinery to measure time has been nven-
ted by Mr.. Andrew Syminton, watchmaker at Kettle

its construction than the common cigh-dly clock,

and being quite silent in its movement, will he adj

the pendulum and scapement are done away with,
and simple eflicacious substitute is applied to the
crown wheel as deten which only allows It to re-

motion without producing the slightest vibration on
the machinery. Another important part fthe Dis

albany and 1roy.-Some idea of the business Of
the cities of Albany and Troy and of the intercourse
between them, may be formed from the astonishing
number OF persons who travel by the public stages
from one TO the other. 1t is mentioned in the Troy
Budget, that the hourly line of Troy aud Albany
stages carried ten thousand eight hundred and thirty
five passengers during the month of September just
past. The fare is % cents which gives S270S and
upwards as the income of the line for one month.
In addition to the hourly line there six or
daily line of stages running from Albany through
Troy north and east. And there are two steam
boats running constantly between the two cities,
