our TOWN.

Once again do We have to call upon the
honorable body oftho Selectmen of Rodney
to make more strenuous and efficient exer-
tions than have been heretofore made, to-
wards cleansing our streets and wharf from
the immense mass of filth and decayed veg
etable matter which is at present engender-
ing, to a great and fearful extent, diseases,
the most virulent in their nature and fatal in
their results--as experience has already
shown.
Are those who remain here during the
summer and most sickly months of the year
to have their lives and those of their wives
and children placedin jeopardy merely from
tho want of prompt and energetic action
on the part Of those in whom they have re-
posed confdence2 Surely not. The citi-
zens, themselves, we venture to state, will
take the matter into their own hands, and as.
sumo the responsibility" of performing that
which the proper authorities have neglected
TO do,
We have been induced to make these re-
marks from the suggestions of number Of
onr townsmen-and, even should they have
failed to make such quest, tre, as a citi-
zen of Rodney, would have done so, believ-
ing it to be duty we owe, not only to our
selves, but to our fellow citizens, generally,
Therefore, we do most unequivocally and
decidedly say, that, unless the selectmen
Immediately order the removal of these muir
sances, the people Of Rodney would be
perfectly justi6able in acting without their
sanction.
p. S. Since the above was in type, VIC
find that efficient measures have been taken
to remedy the evils spoken of. A person
has been appointed to inspect all places
likely to contain any thing calculated to in
jure the health Of the place; and we hopt
that no pains nor expense will be spared t,
render the town, what it has ever been, on,
of the most healthy points on the river.

FOURTH OF JuLY.

The sixtieth anniversary Of our national
independence was celebrated in this place
in manner highly creditable to its citizens.
The day was quite unfavorable, but, ne
vertheless, the celebration went off in a very
pleasant and harmonious manner.
At the break Of day, the roll of the
"spirit-stirring drum and ear-piercing ffe,"
was heard, and the Rodney Guards . prompt
at the summons, (as we hope they may ever
be) assembled, and ushered in the natal day
Of our independence with a national salute.
AT noon, the company assembled at the
Union Hotel, where the Declaration of In
dependence was read by Mr.. A. L. RUSSELL,
and a very neatand appropriate address de-
liveFedbyG. Fl. Wilcox, Esq, both of which
brought forth with great enthusiasm the
heartfelt plaudits of the audience.
Nay the same holy spirit Ofliberty which
animated the bosoms of those present on that
day, and which burst forth mvoluntarily in
shouts of joy, be gamered up and treasured
there, until time shall be no more.
We learn, by the New Orleans CONNER.
cial Bulletin Of the I'd inst, that force Of
about 1000 Mexicans were on their march
to Texas to quell the "saucy rebels" who
dared TO make prisoner their president and
commander-in-chief. 1t is said, they feel
very sanguine of success. Poor dis! they
would find it more to their advantage and
comfort to remain at home, and pay the
priesthood who control them, than to wage
a war against the "Texasians." There
may be much contention for time; but
nevertheless, Texas must and riU be free!

The Philadelphia papers of this morning
are received. The United States ga
zette says
There can be no doubt Of the success
of the Harrison and Granger Electoral
Ticket, if the above reports should be
confirmed, or if indeed any considerable
approximation should be made thereto.
We assure ohr readers that we have no
reason TO disbelieve the reports-they
come to ns through the usual channel,
and several Of them are confirmed by
our private letters.

"We have every reason to believe
that Pennsylvania has given her electo-
raj vote TO the hero Of the Thames
Should this intelligence be confirmed I'VE

tions Of the Union, nine cheers for The

To Me Freemen of u. Island

Bat one icetk from io.dny is the time fixed
for you TO choose electors of President and
Vice President of the United States. Never,
since the formation Of the Constitution, has
more important election occurred. The
most cheering intelligence comes to us from
other States that they have rallied against
the march of corruption, and have resolved
to save the country from another Reign Of
terror. 1t is our imperative duty, if we Would
preserve the character Of Rhode Island for
consistency and patriotism, to begin now,
and make n strong and united effort for the
election Of the Harrison ticket. From Mar
tin Van Buren, we can gain nothing. He is
in opposition to our bolicy-against the Ia
riff Internal Improvements, the Land bill,
and just distribution of the surplus money
among the States. Elect him President, and
not one dollar of that surplus comes into the
Treasury of this State. 1t is time that the
towns were organizing. tits time the Wings
were aroused to just sense of their duties.
RHODE ISLAND CAN BE CARRIED for HARRI-
SON, and she must be. Never let her go for
Van Buren,, when it is known he is defeated.

The N. Y. Morning Courier s. Enquirer Of
Tue sday says, we venture to say that nothing
more absurd or more mendacious was ever
printed than statement contained in the
columns of tory paper of Monday. 1t says
"sufficient information has been received to
show that the following counties have given
majoritics for the Democratic ticket more
than equal to the October election" The
names of the counties that follow are no less
than 25, and among them many are on the
extreme western and northern line-Allegha-
ny, Bradford, Butler, Crawford, ,Fayettet Greene,
Venango, Warren, Westmoreland, and Nc
Kean, and better still some of them at the
October election gave no tory, but large whig
majorities. 1t needs but to cast an eye on
the map of Pennsylvania to see the utter r''r-
possibility that there can be word Of truth
in the tory statement.

glorious result:
From the Baltimore Chronicle Of Tuesday.
The election for electors OF president
and vice president took place yesterday
throughout the state Of Maryland. We
present below the result in the city Of
Baltimore, by which il will be seen thaf
the Van Buren, majority is only 1903. At
the election month ago it was 299, n d
at that in September l64I.
This result has completely confounded
our opponents and renders the success of

Gen. Harrison absolutely certain.

son had carried Pennsylvania. No
doubts were expressed Of this fact by
even the most sanguine in the cause of

The Tories give 2600 majority to Van
Buren, in Northampton county. But as they
published no returns from Lehigh, Montgom-
cry or Bu cks, which they must have heard
from, before they could have heard from
Northampton county, the account must be
incorrect. Besides this Northampton county
has never polled to exceed $500 votes, and
last October only 3l66 were polled when
the entire v. B. vote was only 2154, and now
they claim majority of $500! And BY ac-
tual returns Montgomery, it will be seen has
given them 900. We note this merely as an
illustration of The truth of Van Buren, re-
turns.

People look as though they had obtained
new leases OF their lives. Stocks and
business are secondary matters, while
the Whigs-the merchants-and all who
are engaged in business or have property
at stake, are shaking hands and mingling
their congratulations. The elections
are the absorbing topic and the pros
pect that the Government, instead Of
going TO pieces, is to be brought back to
its former sure and healthy aciion-thc
currency resiored-and the wrongs Of
Jacksonism righted-has diffused feel
ings among our citizens such as we
