\ Nh. EDIToR-As several communications
On this subject, have appeared IN your pa
per, will you do me the favor to add word
OF caution, or at least explanation, in regard
to them. There seems to be an impression
abroad, that all the gentlemen, whose names
are given as having witnessed the expert
ments at Pawtucket, are fully satisfied in re-
gard TO them, and willing, publicly, to vouch
for the truth of the science, &c. Now it may
be seen by any one who reads these commu.
nications, that no 81, ch intention or feeling is
expressed; that the witnesses themselves say
not u word in regard to the case, or their o.
pinion Of the subject. They have simply
consented that true account should be Civ
en- of what they did see. What they think is
another matter. with which they have no
thought of troubling the public. TO be sure,
| speak as only one Of them, and that without
the knowledge Of the others But | am con-
ident give the opinions of all, when | say
that we wish only to be understood as having
been eye and ear witnesses of certain seem
ing facts-that we saw no reason then; and
know no reason now, to suppose those facts
deceptions-that we are not capable of re-
ceiving stronger evidence than was then and
there addressed to our watchful and suspic-
ious senses; that if any one else can detect
fraud, we shall be very glad to have it done,
and that this is the chief reason of our allow
ing our names to be used that attention may
be called to it,and the truth discovered what
ever it be.
We do not need to be told, that the facts
are too extraordinaryto to be taken upon trust,
or from the testimony of any individual, or
the experiments of any one case. No one
should, no one can believe, without full, per-
sonal, repeated, sItted. irresistible evidence
We care not how much people shake their
heads and call it hnmbug; nor do we wonder
ut their doing it, until they have seen, and
even then they will probably be more willing
to keep the head still and the mind open;--
they should not believe until they have seen
again and again, and others have seen, and
the trial has been made upon every variety
! of subjects, and in all possible circumsta nc es,
with all possible guards and proofs. II, then,

A MINORITY PRESIDENT AND
THE PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION.

Mr.. VAN BUREN's PRosPEcTs.-We
commend to our readers the following
very able article from the Boston Atlas
of Saturday, which we copy at length,
touching the course TO be adopted by all
true friends to the Constitution, should
the country be saddled with a AIINoRI-
Tr President. The suggestions it Of
fers are too cogent and feasible net 10
make strong impression on all who Pc
ruse it.
The unexpected surrender of the Wings in
North Carolina renders it almost certain that
Mr.. Van Buren, will succeed to the Presiden-
cy-by a small majority Of the Electoral Col
lege-and in ve,y small minority Of primary
votes. 1t is, after all, surprising that the
People have borne up so nobly under all the
appliances that have been employed to crush
them. The Presidents dictation-the Pre-.
sident's patronage-the Public Revenue
the Pet Banks-and a pensioned Press-with
the undisgused and une&led efforts Of
ono hundred thousand Office -holders-all this
has been unable to rally under Mr.. Van Bu-
ren's standard one half Of this great nation.
The numerical strength is in opposition
The People are in opposition. The De-
nOcRAcY are in opposition. The MANY are
in opposition. Let us hear no more from the
subsidized presses Of the adminisira ration, that
the FEW are making war against the MANY
All this is reversed. Accidental circumstan-
ces, the particular location Of very small mi
norities-may have given Mr.. Van Buren
the vote Of the Electoral College-but he
will go into tho Presidency with minority
of the States-and with minority of Popu-
lar Votes.
Under these circumstances, Mr.. Van Bu-
rens administration must be controlled BY
the LEGISLATURE. As the Wings have now
a majority Of the States, they must Ultimate
ly get command Of the Senate. Meanwhile
the presidency Of the Senate must have been
filed either by Colonel Johnson or Mr..
Granger. Either event will work against
Mr.. Van Buren. IF ffactious psrtizaDs in the
Senate should be resolved so far to disgrace
themselves and degrade the country, as to
roise the Kentucky amalgamstionist to the
Vice Presidency-his personal infamy and
mental imbecility must bring into just con-
tempt and derision the men who shall have
set him up for a ruler. IL MIR. Granger
should be elected-his high character, his
commanding address, and his political ability
must challenge the respect Of all parties, and
augment in corresponding degree the in
iuence and authority Of the Wings.
The Wings too, in all probability, will OBJ
tain command Of the House Of Representa-
tives. The Tory majority In the House has
been already cut down from thirty to twelve.
The next elections are 10 take place In the

which no reliance can be placed.

A letter from New Orleans in the N.
Y. Courier and Enquirer, one day later
than the accounts in the newspapers,
states, that the news recei, ed on the 10Th
from the Florida parishes, heretofore
strong for Jackson, was of a cheering
character. Nothing definite respecting
the result in the State could be ascertain
ed until advices were received from the
parishes in the western section, in which
the wings confidently counted upon ma
jorities.
ALABAMA.-But two counties have
been heard from in this State, which give
Van Buren n small maturity.
ILLINOIS The Cincinnati Wing Of the
2lst instant states, that passengers in the
steam boats and letters from the interior
of Illinois aver that the State has gone
decidedly for Harrison. 1t is certain that,
many Of the counties, heretofore strong
ly Jackson, have given large and unex-
pecied majorities for H., and bets in St.
Louis were strong in our favor.
MIssouRI.-We have but few returns
from Missouri. The county Of St. Louis
gives the Harrison ticket from $50 to
200 majority. There are rumors, which
arc favorable to the success of the tick
but it will be week before any thing
decisive is known.
Later.-The New Orleans Bee fur
nishes returns from 81 parishes in Loui-
siana, which give Van Buren, 422 ma
jority. The Bee, which is Van Bu-
rem paper, says the contest will be the
closest ever had in that State. The is
sue depends upon the third Congression-
al District, in which the Bee complains
that treachery has been employed to de-
feat Van Buren,.
Georgia Election.-A slip from the
Augusta Constitutionalist contains re-
turns from 80 counties out Of 80. The
editor says, s,enough is asce'tained to rem
der it certain the White ticket has sue
ceeded by 1000 majority.
TENNEssEE.-Reiurns from al coun-
ties give the following aggregate-for
White 27,lOl, Van Buren, 2O,sl3-ma-
jority for White 6,288.
Nothing decisive received from either
Illinois, Missouri, NJ Mississippi or AIaba-
ma.
For the substance Of the above alb
stract we are indebted to the Boston At
las Of Monday and Tuesday.
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1836-12-01

We expressed the opinion in our last,
that in consequence Of the unexpected
detection Of the State Of North Carolina
from the whig cause Mr.. Van Buren,
would probably attain the Presidency by
a very small majority Of the Electoral
votes, though in decided minority ofthe
votes Of the People. We founded our
opinion on the belief that the White E.
lectOral ticket would succeed in Geor-
gia, as appearances indicated; that the
same ticket would probably prevail IN
Alabama, Mississippi, and louisiana
whilst we conceded to Mr.. " b. the
votes of Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas,
the first Of which might be considered
doubtful. Though we adhere to the O.
pinion, that the Presidents nominee has
probably succeeded by few Electoral
votes against clearly ascertained ma
jority Of the PEorLE, it is far from being
such matter Of certainty, as his friends
and obsequious retainers would vaunt.-
We have information from 68 counties
i'm Georgia, which is decisive of our sue
cess in that important and influential
State. The vote in those counties stands
for White 90 ,3l3-Van Buren, 10 1856.
Whites majority 1858. Only twenty
two counties remain to be heard from;
and the returns from these counties can
not affect the result.
In Louisiana, where the Globe had
the modesty not week since to claim a
majority Of 600 for Van Buren,, the pros
poets Of the wings are far from discourag-
ing. The city Of New Orleans, which has
heretofore given majority Of from $50
to $50 votes for the Jackson ticket, has
redeemed itself, and given a small ma.
jority for Judge White. The New Or
leans True American says-"In Jeffer-
son in two districts, Lafayette and Car
rolton, the vote is for Van Buren, 26; for
White 40; and the best district to be
heard from.
We have news from St. Tammany,
Livingston, and Washington, and ST.
Helena, heretofore strong Jackson par
ishes, that have in measure gone for us
ut least their nIajorties are so dimin-
ished, that we may without boasting,
claim at least an equal victory with the
one achieved in New Orleans.
IL La Fourche, St. Laundry, St. Ma.
ry, and lberville, turn out, I'VE have gain
ed the State" .. .'' .
The counties Of St. Tsmmany, Wash
ington, St. Helena, and Livingston, form
Gen. Ripley's Congressional District,
and have always been the heaviest Jack
son counties in the State. In 1884 they
gave Dawson, the Jackson candidate
for Governor, 667 majority; snd yet, at
that election, White the whig candidate,
prevailed through the State, by msjori-
ty Of 1917.
The Globe still claims the State but il
has no other information than a letter
from Columbus in Georgia, which is
evidently based on the Mobile story,
