WEDNESDAY, AUGTsT 10, 1886.

We copy the following article from the
Providence Herald of Saturday last, that
our readers and the people of this town and
vicinity may read and be astonished at the
unparalleled effrontery Of the writer. We
do not complain of this writer for torturing,
and gnrbling, and perverting the meaning
of the article in our last, it is no more than
should have been expected from one so
well versed in shutting, and fnesse, and in
dealing TO his own advantage.
He says having perused the Republican
of the 3d inst. for promised continuation of
the subject" &c. and has he any evidence
that there will not be /" continuation of the
subject"-that there will not be "more
anon, that we intend to drop the sub
ject" and let it sleep forever. We under
stand that another Captain has been order
ed by the Department to repair to this sta
ton and take command of the Gutter if so
and if he should be removed as others very
evidently have been removed, by intrigue
and unfair management, then, if he will a.
gain perusc our paper( for " the promised con-
rinuaiion of the subject we will guarantee
that he will not again be disappointed. One
thing, however, we have never yet required
the aid of mortal man to defend our char
acter-no mercenary scribbler, no associate
of the punch bOwI, or companion at the
gaming table has ever sullied our reputation
by attempting to defend it. Thus far We
have thought ourselves fully competent tc
defend our own reputation when attack:
upon it were made openly, and when we
shall have becemc SO misercrably helples.
as to be unable so to do, or when from con-
scous guilt we shrink from an investigation
of our conduct, then will we devoutly pray
for swift exit from this world of trouble
or Danish ours lives from the sight of man.

The New York Times gives the follow
ing epi,ome of Mr.. Harrison's exploits, for
which our neighbors of the Gazette think
that he should be chosen President of the
United States -
"Of his first battle, Tippecanoe, when
the Indians surprised him in his bed, aud
with an inferior force nearly cut of his
army, we hear nothing from his panesyr-
ists.-llls great battle AT the Thames was
won, without his orders or knowledge, by
johnson aud the other prominent success
obtained where he commanded. was ncbiey-
ed AGAINST his order. TIE defence of Fort
Stephenson by Col. Croghan, was not only
one of the most gallant, hut one of the mos,
important actions during the war. Blu, for
that defence, the whole frontier would hive
been abandoned to the enemy, our fleet ON
Lake Erie, and the magazines aud boats n,
cleveland. would have been DESTROYED.
aud our splendid naval victory, with its
great results, must have been prevented.
Harrison knew well how entirely these
great interests depended on maintaining his
position, andIdefendiug fort Stephenson. vet
he had actually prepared to retreat. and
commanded Col. Croghan to- abandon the
fort, and to Withdraw Ia head-ouer,ers
His orders were gloriously disobcyed, the
fort defended, the frontier and fleet saved.

lCOMMuNICATION.

1t was with mingled feelings of surprise
and regret, that we noticed in the X. |. Re-
publican of the 9Th ult. a severe attack
upon our estlmabie friend Lieut.. II. n.
Tracy of the Revenue Gutter VigiIant.
Our surprise was occasioned from the ap-
pearancc of these Objectionable structures in
the columns of that Republican paper,
which has been considered as the organ of
/ the democratic party for the Southern Sec
ton Of the State, and should be presumed
20 speak the sentiments Of that party; and
The SUBJECT of those structures, a gentleman,
10 whose active cxertions and acknowl-
edged influence, the party has been much
indebted, in political struggles, for many
years. We could not however believe that
the article referred TO did speak the scnii-
ments of the democratic party of Newport
or any considerable portion, or of any in
dividual save him who wrote and commune
Gated it to the paper. We know the stand
ing of Lt Tracy 10 Newport and wherever
else he is known, and are satisfied that he
commands the highest respect from his
polIt cal friends, as well us from all others,
with whom he has become officially or per-
sonal!y acquainted.
II was with great regret that we perused
the sweeping and unjust denunciatIons of
this highly respectable public officer, cal
cuated to injure him in his present official
standing, and to impede him in the progress
Of that promotion, the hope of which, it is
presumed is cherished by every young man,
who holds a subordinate station. Satisfied
that he had not forfeited the good opinion
of the Republican party, we could only as
cribe the structures To private resentment
and personal i'll will and having persued
the Republican of the Sd inst for promised
continuation of the subject, our suspicious
are now confirmed. The last paper referr-
ed TO says" II is the opinion of some of
the most influential members of the admin
istration," that in their first article eve
spoke not the feelings and the sentiments
of the democratic party" and the editor
further says, we spoke our own individual
opinion of the man."
We know not that private griefs may
have prompted the editor ofthe Republican
10 malign the character Of It. Tracy, but
from long and intimate acquaintance with
the latter, we can say with confidence. that
his fair fame rises proudly above such at
tacks, which must recoil severely upon the
assailant. JUSTICE.
