An adjourned meeting Of the Wing
Freemen of this town, was held at the
State House on Monday Evening last
JOSHUA SAVER, Esq. Chairman, James
Atkinson, Secretary. The meeting was
addressed by Gov. ENGs, and several
other gentlemen. After which the fol-
lowing Resolutions were unanimously
approved Of and adopted
Resolued, That in the opinion of the Wing
Freemen of this town, the election Of Repre-
fourth Congress, which is to be held on the
last Tuesday Of August next, is a subject Of
great interest to the people of Rhode Island;
not only in the view Of securing strong and
influential delegation in the popular branch
of the United States Government, but from
the fact, now almost reduced to a certainty,
that this State may be called upon, in the
election Of a President, TO exercise one Of
the highest Of its sovereign and constitution
al rights, through agents to be elected to the
U. s. House of Representatives.
Resotvcd, That i'll forming the compromise
which lies at the foundation of the Federal
Constitution, and without which none of the
smaller States would have acceded to that
Instrument, it was one Of its most sacred
and fundamental stipulations, that in the
event of failure Of the election of 4 Prcsi-
dent by the people, the States, in their sovc-
reign capacity, should each be entitled to
one vote in the House of Representatives, in
the choice Of that oficer-thc small States
standing in this particular on their original
and perfect equality with the largest in the
Union.
Resolved, That it is Of the utmost conse-
quence to the people of this State, that this
high and inestimable prcrogstive, almost the
last remnant of their old and independent
authority should be so secured, by the choice
Of able and incorruptibe agents, as that the
clear and well known sentiments of the State
may be distinctly expressed; and in no event
be traflicked away for the rewards of power,
or lost by division Of opinion between the
agents we elect.
Rcsolued, That We have the utmost conf
dencc in the abilities and integrity of TRIs-
TAM BuRers, one ofour late Representatives
in the 23d Congress-; and, in common with
our Wing brethren in every part of the UD-
ion, feel an honest pride in his manly and
courageous resistance to the encroachments
and usurpations Of Executive power, and its
corrupt system Of purchase by Office. 1t

Mas. .HEMASs.--Felicia Dorothea Browne
was born in Liverpool, in a small quaint
looking house, in ST. Anne street, now stand
ing, old fashioned aud desoate, in the midst
of newer buildings.by which it is surround
ed. Her father was a native Of Ireland, her
mother German lady, Miss Wagner, but
descended from or connected with. some
Venetian family, circumstance which she
would playfully mention, as accounting for
the strong tinge Of romance and poetry
which pervaded her character from her earli-
est childhood. Our abstaining from any at
tempt mnutely to trace her history, requires
10 apology; it is enough to say, that when
she was very young, her family removed
from Liverpool to the nelghborhoed Of ST.
Asaph, i'm North Wales; that she married at
a very early age, that her married life, after
the birth of five sons, was clouded by the es-
trsngement of her husband; that on the
death of her mother with whom she had re-
sided, she broke up her establishment in
Wales, and removed TO Wuvertrce, IN the
neighborhood of Liverpool, ffoin whence, af-
ter a residence of about three years, she
again removed to Dublin, her last resting
