THOU VAST NOT THERE.

I stood within brilliant hail.
Among the young and gay,
And joyous was the festival,
And loud the revery.
Why was my spirit dark and dull,
Where all seem'd free from caref-
Why was my heart so sorowful'
Thou vast not there.
Another sang that simple song,
! oft had heard from thee,
And merry voices mid the throng
Reoall'd thy notes of glee.
I could not listen to that strain,
That mirtb IcouId not share,
The song, the glee, alike were vain
Thou vast not there
Around me fitted many form
In graceful movement light,
Their cheeks with youlh's pure bushes warm.
Their eyes with rapture bright.
thought Of one as light as they,
As exquisitely fair,
And turned in bitterness away
Thou vast not there.
Can Spicnd1 to the aching heart
For vanish'd friends atone
Can pleasure charm us, when we part
From those we loved alone
Oh no the hunblest cot ON earth
With thee I'd rather share,
Than dwell in courts, if mid their mrth
Thou vast not there.

Of the right Of suffrage. Let the reader
compare them, and notice ho,c ,reH they
chime with each other.
s'The exercise Of the elective fran
chise is always subject Of importance

cies bequeathed by his patriotic sires.--

The state Of Connecticut it appears has
gone for Jackson. The tories in their loud
Civilizations seem to have forgotten that it is
nothing new for toryism to be uppermost in
Conneclicut.-Shc had a Jackson Governor
two years ago, but was beaten last year by
the exertions of the wings, and would have
been beaten again this year, if they had not
relied too much upon their own strength,
without making use of it. Let the wings of
Rhode Island take warning at the apathy of
their Connecticut brethren, and to man be
punctual at the polls, ready to do their duty!

ADJOURNED UItIG .lIEETLNG.

The meeting last evening, which was held
by adjournment in the Representatives Cham
Der Of the State House, was by far the most
numcrously attended, and in every respect
the most spirited, which has yet been conven-
ed in this place by the WmG PARTY. Tfthe
feeling which was manifested last night by
this crowded assemblage, is in any degree an
index of the tone of public sentiment in 9TH
er parts of the county, and through the State
generally, as we arc confident it will prove
to be, there can be little doubt we think of
decided, though it prove hard won triumph.
The meeting was addressed in the strongest
appeals to the good sense and patriotism Of
the freemen, by r. X. Randolph, George G..
King, and II. Y. Cranston, Esqrs. and by Mr..
Benz. Mumford, which were received with
loud and repeated applauses. A wish hav-
ing been expressed by the freemcn that our
candidate for Lieut.. Governor, GEO. ENGs,
Esq. who was present at the meeting, should
express his sentiments to his fellow citizens,
Mr.. T.. arose, and in manly and unpretend-
! ing manner gave utterance to as strong and
clear view Of the great question at stake in
the pending election, and of the motives
which should operate OH every pure and in
teligent citizen, as We ever recolect to have
heard. We only wish that our friends in
other towns could have been as fortunate as
ourselves-it would be new motive to stim-
ulate them in the performance of thoir duty.
/ After the addresses were concluded, and
the old list Of Representatives nominated, the
following committees, among others were ap-
pointed:

people, have turned them out, and taken
possession of il for themselves. He knew
very well what effect this insolence
would have upon the free spirited people
Of Rhode Island; bu, he knew also that
with them he had nothing TO lose, having
already forfeited their confidence iorev-
er. He knew that his last election was
obtained by cringing, crawling, fawning,
begging and promising; and by arts and
tricks which could not Il second time be
played He knew that, after all, he did
not have the votes Of more than one
quarter part Of the frecmen Of the State,
and that he would lave been beaten
three to one by any candidate free from
the prejudices under which the candi-
date who then run against him, laborcd !;
and who, but for those prejudices, would
have sunk the leahy ressel, which as it
was could hardly be kept anoat by con-
stant pumping. His only resource there
fore was TO curry favor with Amos Ken
dali, and this he thought he could do by
putting on high airs, and holding himself
out as man of Importance and influence
at home; and at the same time declaring
his own unconditional and unlimited sub
mission and devotedncss to the will of the
cabinet. Never was such abject servil-
ity displayed but by born slave Of the
African race, who lchs the foot Of his
master, or of the negro driver set over
him. His inimation that he should de-
cline being candidate for the U. S. Sc
nate because he lives in the same part Of
the State with MIR. Robbins, is most
laughable. Ii both the Senatorial Sc is
were now vacant, he could not get a no.
minntion for either of them; and if he
could, there arc not five members in the
General Assembly who would vote for
him.
