FORTIFICATION BILL.

Ofall the impudent assumptions Of the
Tory party in this place, for the purpose
of affecting the coming election, the
most bare faced is one put forward, in
their yesterdays paper, which in mud
dy and confused way, undertakes 10
charge the Wing members Of Congress
with the shameful delay, which has at
tended the bill in the House Of Repre-
senta,ivcs for this years appropriation" lor
FoRTIFIcArloNs. They have the modes
ty TO put forth this charge on the minori-
.ty Of that body, when it must be palra-
BILE to every one, who has given the least
heed to Congressional proceedings, that
the whole difficulty lies in the miserable
incompetency Of the Chairman Of the
Committee Of Ways and Means-C. G.
Cambreleng-and C in the entire want Of
regularity and efficiency with which the
business of the House is conducted. IL
such man as Louis Nc Lane, or Geo.
Nc Duflic, had been n, the head Of that
Committee, even in SO disorderly body
as the pre- sent Jackson House Of Repre-
senta,ives, does the most bigoted ofthe
tools of the present Administration be-
lieve, that in the fourth month of the
session so important bill as the one ap-
propriaiing money for the ordinary forti-
.fications, would have been suffered to
sleep without even an attempt to act up
on it? Have they forgotten, that all the
important appropriation bills have been
put by this session-frst, to crafty the
vindictive resentments Of Mr.. Adams,
and then to carry through the Infamous
attempt to deprive the State Of North
Carolina OF its rightful vote in the House
in the election Of President? With a
majority Of nearly two to one in the poru-
lar branch of the Government, if the bu-
siness of the Country is not properly at
tended to, is the fault Of that neglect to
be charged to the minority' lfthe citi-
zens of Newport and its vicinity, ale the
sufferers by this neglect, to what cause,
we ask, will every candid minded man
in this community impute it?

Connecticut Election &.

The news received from Come cticut,
as far as it goes, is most cheering. The
cities Of Hartford and Ncw-Haven,h have
given greatly increased Wing majorities.
In Hartford, all the candidates for men,
bers Of the Assembly have been elected.
The Hon. WIN. w. Ellsworth, is elect
ed to the State Senate by $50 majority
in the First Senatorial District. This
District was represented last year by q
Jackson man. Though we have not
much to hope from Come ecticut, yet il

AN IDoL.-Thomas II. Benton is now the
idol Of repealers and expungers. lie is the
man who sat down gravely and wrote to the
editor of the Richmond Enquirer, an account
Of the gorgeous furniture Of the East Room
of the White House, when the room was to-
tally unfinished. He is the man who de-
clared that, if Andrew Jackson was elected
President, Congress would have to legislate
with drks and pistols in their bel,s-und
meany dsavowed it. Whether he is the
man to whom the following applies, We do not
assert. The extract is made from speech
delivered in the Virginia House Of Delegates,
by Mr.. Bolts. We commend it to the
consideration Of the worshippcrs Of Thomas
II. Benton.
"Sir, | am tod that there ,cas man named
Thomas II. Benton, some years ago a stu
dent at Chapel Hill college, North Carolina,
who was expelled for stealing a sum Of money
from the trunk Of one Of the present mem.
bers Of the General Court bench Of Virginia,
which was found wrapped in his cravat, and
tied around his neck. Mr.. Speaker, do you
know the Senator of Missouri? and can you
tell me whether this is the same man, or not?
Can you tell me whether this is the same

named Edward Bates published pamphlet

ing him at the same time with almost every
offence against decency, morality, and law, to
be found in the catalogue ofcrimes: and chal-
lenging him to place denial of the charges
in such form as to admit Of judicial investiga-
ton; which pamphlet has been recently re-
published. and is, am told, now to be found
on the table Of every member of Congress in
both Houses? Sir, is this the miserable crea-
turc to whose lead Virginia is called upon to
follow suit? Is it such Thing as this that We

old ship, and for whom we are to discard our
old and faithful pilots, Watkins Leigh, and
John Yyler; men whose hearts and souls are
all Virginia's-whose interests are all idcnti-
fled with our own-whose friends and neigh
bors, whose relatives and families, are all with
us-are these fit subjects for sacrifice, Mr..
Speaker, in your own opinion? VIII you
lend your aid to destroy them? and can you
with confidence recommend to us the coun-
ellis of this Missouri Senator? Sir, the facts
do not charge, but they have been often
charged, thoroughly circulated, and unlver-
sally believed; and am satisfied are suscep-
tible of proof before any committee that might
lie raised for that purpose. Has he any friend
on tiis floor who viii deny the charge? ] un-
derstand however, that at the instance OF
gentleman with whom we had the pleasure to
associate on this floor two years ago, as a
member from the county of Halifax, the reso-
luton of expulsion which was regularly en-
tered or their journal, (where, by the bye, !
Imagine there was no constitutional authority
requiring it to be retained,) was cxpunged
from the Journal whether by obliteration, or
drawing black lines around it, have not as
certained: it was perhaps from this quarter
that the honorable Senator first borrowed his
notion of cxpunging. At all events, it fur
nishes another precedent to those that have
been already cited by the advocates Of tins
resolution, and quite as opposite as any that
, have been mentioned"

The SURPLUS RfvENuE.-lt is confident
ly believed at Washington, says the Balt'-
more Chronicle, that the government has be-
come convinced of its inability to retain pos.
session of the surplus revenue, in safety, ana
that it is anxiously casting about for means OF
disposing of it in some secure manner. One
of the plans proposed is to lend 10 the States
the entire surplus fund, with condition OF
reimbursement, whenever the government
may have occasion for it. Another IS to hand
over to the States or to companies inc"rpora-
ted by them proportion of the surplus, ac-
cording to some equitable plan, fnr the pur-
pose Of aiding in the construction OF ran.
roads, upon which, of course, the malls and
munitions of war will be carried, without cx-
pcnse to the government.
The latter plan, it is thought, will prevail.

TO TIE WIIGS OF RHODE ISLAND

The time is near at hand when you will be
called upon to give your votes for general Of
icers for the ensuing political year. 1t is al
ways a valuable privilege, and never should
be exercised without a full knowledge OF the
candidates, and q determination not TO sacri-
fee principles for personal objects. IL often
happens that men are put IN nomination, who
may from local prejndices be not acceptable
to every voter. In such case we deem it the
positive duty ofall citizens who would main
tain principles, to sink personal feeling, in
the higher and nobler ends Of patriotism.
The only question on such occasions, IS,
shall by my vote for this candidate subservo
the interests of my State and my country. 1t
is never possible TO present ticket accepta-
BILE to every Wing freeman. What may meet
the support of one section, if actuatedb by per-
sonal feelings, may be Objectionable to an
other. Unity of purpose, and faithful dis
charge of common duties, will terminate in
victory. This is the view which we would
impress upon the minds of the Wings of Il.
Island. Let them recollcct that we all have
but one end in sight, the defeat of the spoils
party. And to attain that, 10 sacrifice is too
great, no effort ought to be spared, no means
of useful accomplishment ought to be left un-
done. Hence, the positive necessity Of union
in the support of our candidates. Division
is to us inevitable defeat. In such battle
as this which we are fighting, the troops must
not alone be armed and equipped with the
panoply of TRUTH, but they must direct their
charge to one point, aim destructive fire
upon the enemy, and the triumph is secure
and glorious-for it is the triumph Of princi-
pie over unhalowed ambition. We would
say, then, to every Wing Of Rhode Island,
continue the firm bonds of your union, divide
not on any point go for the candidates Of the
party, and let no sinister designs swerve your
purposes. From what we know, and have
learned Of the state Of popular opinion, this
union and effort alone are requisite to sue
cess. Wings, consider this, and act as you
heretofore have done, and the ends Of your
union are accomplished.
/ I'm this connection, let it be remembered
that the ticket presented for our support was
formed with due consideration of the quail
fications Of the gentlemen named, and with n
studied desire to promote the great objects of
the party. We but speak the universal sen
timent, when we soy that for private and pub
lie reputation, for popular regard in the vari-
Gus sections Of the State, the VINO TICKET
is unexcep,ionoblc aud inyulneable. Even
