meeting in April last, Committee was appointed
to investigate the condition Of the towns poor, and
report at the adjourned meeting, May I'd, when
they made the following
REPORT:
The subscribers, who were appointed Com
mittec, 10 visit the Towns Asylum for the Poor,
and to inquire into the situation of the house and
circumstances of its inmates, herewith beg leave
to Report That according to our appointment,
we attended AT tho house on Monday last, and on
examination Of every part found tito be cleanly
throughout and every thing within to be apparent
ly in good order. Our next ecl was to ascer-
tain whether its inmates were treated, in regard to
food and other convenences, according TO the pro-
visions Of the o,erseers, and the expectations Of
the Town: we made separate inquiries Of all who
are capable Of understanding the subject, and their
uniform reply was that they were perfectly satisf-
ed with their living, that they had daily sufficient in
quantity that the quality was perfectly satisfactory
and that they desired nothing better. We inquired
also particularly in regard TO the management and
discipline Of the Family who now have charge, and
they uniformly answered, that there had been an
Improvement in their comfort and accomnloda-
tions, with which they appeared much pleased
and we as committee think they have no reason to
be dissatisfied, being convinced, SO far as we have
had opportunity to investigate, that the present
arrangement, promises, under fair and faithful ex-
pertinent to result in an increase of the comfort
Of the Poor, and TO the satisfaction and Ultimate
benefit Of the Town.
We beg leave in addition, TO sugg, st the propri-
ETY. of having the Chambers of the new building
plastered, which will tend to add much to the
comfort of the sleeping rooms in winter and think,
upona cursory examination, it can be done at an
expense, varying, not materially, from twenty
dollars. Should this be done, the interior of the
House will, we think, be in good order, and very
comfortable. J. SMITH.

We understand inquiry was made previous to
the Election, and when the Jackson men claimed d
the victory, by a member ofthe Jackson party in
Providence, Whether the Justices of the Peace in
Warren, voted for the Jackson Prox On being
answered in the negative, he ntimated, as near
as looks could, that they would receive their re-
Ward. Now we will take the responsibility" to
inform that gentleman and all others concerned,
that whenever they take it into their heads to give
our Justices a " walking ticket" they will have
to import lot from some other town. for our
citizens are not willing to be burdened with such
an Office.

"The Antimasons of Rhode Island, still
hold the balance Of power, and ,c'N retain
it., for they were never more resoluie and
united on Antimasonry, than al this mo-
ment."
"The Wings and Democrats will be
about balanced, and the antimasons, if
they do their duty, will command thirteen
or fourteen votes. No Senator, therTore,
can be elected without their votes.-April

set down to the Jackson party by amy

"The result in Rhode Island is SO very
close, that it cannot be arrived at with
certainty, till the official canvass in May
next. ."-April l8.

number Of Wings in the House, at 81

that the WHICH Senate is elected, we ap-
prehend will prove as uniounded as the
|express news Of the election Of Mr. knight
The House will stand 36 to SO. We
caution those who belle, the former sto-
ries Of the Journal, as to Knights cleo
ton, not to give credence TO the intima-
tion respecting the Senate. The most
probable result is, that the Senate will
consist Of one Wing, five Antimasons and
five Democrats, giving majority ofsevtn
against the Wings In Grand Committee"

masons. In Grand Committee the Wings

extracts from the Boston Advocate, edited
by Benjamin Franklin Hallett. These
extracts are not made with view to be-
little that gentleman in the opinion of your
readers, but only to show the public with
arhat spirit OF prophecy he is gifted. 1t
may likewise serve to deter him hereafter
from meddIing with that, he has shown
wonderful degree of ignorance and con-
sumate impudence. Imay send you some

this Office and paid for his commission the sum Of
one dollar /; and at the close Of the year he had
received for services rendered, the enormous
sum Of hoeipe and half cents, leaving him mi
nus in the sum Of eighfy-seuen and h"!f cent
We rccollect very well the course Of proscript-
ion used at the time we speak Of, as we were an
eye witness to the proceedings. One Thomas
Cory. Jr. gentleman who held the responsible
Office of Senator, was made the cats paw" for
the Jackson and Antmasonic parties, and took upou
himself the responsibility" of nominating officers
for the whole County Of Newport and when a
motion was made TO " add" a National Republi-
can to the list handed in by him, he would imme-
diately move TO !" 0dd no more" This oiIic-
iousness is the cause of his being dubbed with the
title Of" Add-no-more Cory"
! Each town ought to be capable ofselecting their
own officers ofjus,ice, and Military Officers, be
they Wings or Tories,- and any interference by
members from another town, we look upon as un-
fair, ungentlemany, and in the highest degree de-
serving of the severest rebuke. We care not
which party is guilty-the guilt is the same. We
know the late administration begun the play have
had their going'S in, and are now the runners,
but we hope the present administration will be
more liberal, as we observe they have been, in
number of instances-for number Of the most
violent Jackson men have been re-appointed, al
though in direct violation Of the doctrine held up
by the cabal. Ifthe rules laid down by Mr.. ID.
J. Pearce, were adhered to by the Wings, every
Jackson man, and every Antimason in the State,
would have been removed at once. Some Of the
opposition acknowledged that it would be fair play
to do so, 1.-THE Wings were more generous, they
did not believe in the q" whole hog' doctrine, and
thus they elected number Of their opponents.
So far as County Officers are concerned, how
ever, we hope the Grand Committee will give a
" walking ticket to every Jackson man and An
timason, agreeably to the rules laid down by the
Commanders-in-chief of the ship Amalgamation.
