"UNIoN, HARMONY, SELP-DENIAL, CONCESSION
EVERY THING FOR THE CAUSE, NOTHING FOR MEN

The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1836-02-17

Gas the subject of the defence and security OF
the maritime frontier of the United States is now
before the nation, we hope the importance of the
harbor of Newport will not be overlooked or ne
elected. We are pleased to find that Mr.. Benton
of the Senate has introduced into his bill an appro-
priation for the Fort on Rose Island; this will be a
new work, and in our opinion very important one,
as it lies directly in front of the passage into the
harbor.
The importance of this harbor to the nation even
in time Of peace has been found very great in tho
winter season, aordng shelter TO distressed vessels
ou the western coast they can enter this harbor
with the prevailing cold winds of winter, and with
certainty of finding it open in the coolest weather
but Of much greater importance would it be, if thi.
country should be engaged in war, being so easy
Of access for men of war, merchantmen, priya,eer,
aud prizes.
In looking over some old Boston papers we find
in the Post Boy +" Of May 18th, l7l6, sta,emen,
Of the number Of prizes taken by the English in the
year 1875 to have been five hundred and sis,r-Gvc
and the number taken from the English five hundred

WHERE ARE THE New Proxies ?-Three or foul
political conventions have been holden in Provi.
dence during the the past month, for the purpose o.
nominating Proxies for general officers for the COM
ing year but nothing has yet transpired except the
nomination by the Constitutional Party of Gov. Col
lins, &c. The two parties that were in the field
last spring, We believe are playing boo, peep. We
are frequently asked who to lie the candidates
of the Republican, Administration, and Van Buren,
party, but unable to answer the question, as
yet. Doubtless Gov. Francis will stand at the head
and in the fullness of time we expect to be able to
add his associates also.
Our readers will doubtless think we have express
ed ignorance enough OH this subject already-but
no. we are still more puzzled with the following in
terrogatory When is the Poney Pror to make its
appearance9 We ought to be excus ed from an
swering question, it should be supposed, we know
but little about.-All we do know is, that Mr.
Knights friends extremely anxious for Mr.. Bur-
ges to be nominated for Governor, and Mr.. Burgess
friends are as determined to urge the claims of Mr
Knight They are both as civil to each other as
two sailors over can of grog; each insisting that
the other shall drink first. Whether either will con-
sent to disoblge the other by obIiging themselves,
remains to be seen.

From the Baltimore Patriot.
MARYLAND ERECT.


With sincere qualification we TO day an
nounce to our readers, that the gloomy re-
ports and anticipations Of the two precc-
ding days, touching wing discontinue, and
the success of Van Burensm throughout
the State, were premature, in all their i'm
portant features, and have not been borne
out by the facts. On the contrary, so far
from having, MS was feared, through su-
pineness and apathy, suffered IL total defeat,
and in consequence lost the control of the
State Government by the loss of the Sen
atorial body, the Wings have in very truth
gained the victory at the polls on Monday,
and thus in very truth maintained the pre-
dominance of their cause in old Maryland.
We tender our hearty congratulations to
the friends of the cause, upon this glorious
reversal of the first reports and though
the contest has been close--lcaying but
little aggregate majority on either side--our
friends may, nevertheless, rely with perfect
confidence on the fact now proclaimed, that
the majority is on the side Of the WhigS, and
the State is therefore sufe.
The satisfaction of our friends here, at
this glorious result, may he easily anticipa-
ted, after the unpleasant rumors of defeat
from almost every quarter of the State
The victory is not the less welcome, nor
the triumph the less cheering, or important
in its attributes 1T will readily be believed
from having been totally unexpected, ut
the moment the glad tidings were borne
in upon us from the distant breeze. From
Monday evening until Wednesday after
noon, scarcely doubt was entertained from
any quarter, that the defeat of the Wings
was both certain and signal. Though such
result appeared to be but the necessary
consequence of the apathy that had pre-
vailed so extensively among our friends in
! the city, il was not the more palatcabe OH
that account to the Wings of baltimore,
nor the less grateful 10 their opponents
! The change that has come over both, by
the substitute of the glorious reality of to-
dry, for the pigments of yesterday, may, as
the nOveiists say, he more easily conceived
! than described. And it is not perhaps the
very least of the Notifying circumstances
connected with the case, To our adversaries
| that public opinion was set right in regard
to the result, and the Wings were assured
Of having gained the victory, ut the very
! moment that the Van Buren, party were
/ parading our streets, in long drawn pro.
cession, with joyous music and streaming
banner, in honor of their supposed triumph
Alas, that party bliss should ever prove Sc
evanescent aud that tho facilities of mod
ern travel--the steamboats, and rail roaC
cars, nurtured by the improvement Bill
hould bring the means Of dashng the cuI
ON the lips, in the hour of high enjoy

by express, contains several items Of inior-
nation in relation to Texas, the adoption of
the constitution &c. We give the following
extracts:
The first Monday in September has been
appointed by the President, with the consent
OF the Council, for the Election Of President
Vice President, Senators and Representa-
tives to Congress. The number of Repre-
seutatives is 81; Senators, ii.
Congress was to meet the LIST Monday in
October in the town of Columbia. The
army 1900 strong is ut Colet, near Copano /;
its numbers have been considerably redu-
ced in consequence of many Of the Texans
having returned to the cultivation of their
farms. 1t is understood that the expedition
to Matamoras has been abandoned, as thus
there is 10 prospect of meeting of the two
armies until winter. Santa Anna has heen
sent to the plantation Of Col. Phelps, under
strong guard.
The Texas Telegraph of the I'd August
contains the following extraordinary para.
graph.
"The consuinmation SO dcvoutly TO DO
wished, is arrived; in the splendid intelli-
gencc of the recognition of our indepen-
dcnce, by the sanction of president Jackson
to the bill passed OH that subject, in the
Congress of the United States. Let the
gratitude of Texas be excited by this proof
Of maternal regard from her natural and

From the EmancipAtnr.

The editor of the New Hampshire OBJ
server has found out that Mr.. Garrison is
rather Quukerish in his notions about the
Sabbath, and lac sounds the alarm most
Justify. He thinks that the effect of Mr. G.'s
remarks on the subject, IN his review OF Or.
Beecher, is direct TO the destruction of the
holy day of the Lord Vastly more di-
rect probably, than that system of slavery
which annIhilates the Bible, Sabbath, and
all, TO one-sixth of our entire population
Now we trust that we love the Sabbath,
and dissent from Mr.. G.'s views on the sub
iect as much ms the editor OF that paper, but
what then? Nay, Iutif he were through
out thorough Quaker? Must therefore
allure his sentiments on the subject ofabo-
lition, or temperance, or any similar question
and refuse to co-opurate with and sustain
him in their PRONUNCIATION? Nonsense.
Such views and feelings are tho qulnes-
sence of mean, narrowminded, seclatiah
bigotry, and from our nnost soul we to1ue
them, and say, every man who cherisies
them, he, emphatically, sees things through
disordered medium and is one, whom
lit is not safe to follow ono inch.
We regret that Mr.. G. should weaken
the force Of his rebuke of DIR. Is. by turning
aside TO the discussion Of the Sabbath ques-
ton. We think il was mistake, and we
regret that he did it. But as It il, we now
say that when the editor of the observer
will ALLURE all colleges, which adopt Paley
as n iaXt book, and depose all ministers VINO
teach Pnley's notions on certain other
equally important topics, we will then, per-
haps, reconsider the question OF abJur'ng

Greeting.

UTeetHg.
YBNIIE Subscribers hereby give notice that
4 they have purchased OF Richsld pIke,
ol Wilton. in the County oil Fairfield, ana
State Of Commerce.. the exclusive r'gh' OF
using and vending his Patent - "
Machine for coloring ard cooling hats, in
and throughout the States ni New Hamp-
shire and Vermont, during the term OF said
Patent.
The Block or Machine is an open Cylin-
der Or framed hat block made of wood or
metal. The cylinder is first made open,
and is a simple cylinder frame. 1t can be
better used by covering it with thin cover
OF wood or metal perforated with numerous
holes in such manner that the air and the
coloring matter can pass freely through the
hat AMI block, either when the hat is
immersed or exposed TO the air to be cooled.
Tne advantage OF this framed or oren block
above the solid one is, that either with, or
without the perforated covering, the liquor
and air pass more rapidly and freely through
the hat, so that the same is cooled and col
oTed more thoroughly and Quicker, in
better manner and with less expense than
can be done on tie solid blocks now used.
And the subscribers, from long expert
ence in the use OF said block or Machine,
do most confidently recommend il IA great
anduseiul improvement. They will sell
the same to companies or individuals on
very eaSonabe terms.

shockingly burned, together with his barn
and five stacks of hay adjoining. The cir
culnstances were these: Mr. Burnham and
man had Just unloaded II load of hay which
finished his harvesting labors, and were at
the time of The accident standing upon the
barn floor about feet from the door. A
son of Mir Burnham, about II years of age,
was nj the time standing in the door, and
three other children of Mr. i. were by
The boy who was standing in the door
saws he saw a ball of fire descend, and his
father stagger aud fall ; at the same time
his cap was blown from his head out of
the DOR. As he turned from picking up
his cap, he for the first time saw Kelley
living on the floor bleeding with his bowels
gushed out. The barn hy this time was in
a state of ignition, and before the bodies
could be got out of the barn, the head Of
Mr. Burnham and the feet of Kelley We're
burned off. When; The lifeless remains
were taken out and examined, it was found
that nearly every bone in Kelley's body
was broken; his thigh bone and from his
knec downwards, split through the centre
so that the marrow dropped out, and his
side was torn apen and his bowels hanging
