We cannot too earnestly impress on
our Wing fellow-citizens the importance
of an EARLY and PUNCTUAL at
tendance at the Polls, at this important
Election. In a few hours it will be set
tied, whether the character of RHODE
ISLAND for consistency, integrity, and
honor, and straightforward support Of
sound principles in the administration of
the National Government is 10 be main
tanned or not. IF WE DO OUR DU-
TY, and rally like MEN at the ballot
box in the support of our Wing candi-
dates, and in the maintenance Of firm,
uncompromising principle, all may yet
be safe. TO THE POLLS, then,

that NEwpoRT-OLD WHIG NEW

EXTENSIVE BANK ROBBERY

The most extensive Bank Robbery
which has occurred in New England
within our recollection, was Perpetrated
in this city, upon the Merchants Bank,
between Saturday night last and Mon
day morning. The officers OF the In
stiiution, left every thing as they thought
secure. Yesterday morning when the
Bank was opened, it was discovered that
the vault had been entered and robbed
of nearly TWO HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS, and' a package
from Boston, probably containing larg"
amount. The rogues obtained admis-
sion by means of false keys. As tho
steamer Massachusetts left this city on
Sunday afternoon, it is not improbable
that the robbers were among the passen-
gers. The Merchants Bank does an
immense business, and receives upon
deposit the bills of all the Banks in tho
State. This is the reason why the rob-
bers preferred il to others, and why they
were able TO secure So large mn amount
of current money. The Bank Offers
reward Of SIC, 600 for The apprehension "t'
the williams, and the recovery OF the mo
ney, or in like proportion for any pat OF

been paid-and Congress having found il
impossible TO reduce the revenue within the
wants of the government, people, recol-
lcctinp the recomme ndation Of the President,
made when he frs, came into office, are be-
ginning to ask for its adoption. Resolutions
10 this effect have been adopted by several
State legislatures, and the people, in their
primary meetings, are in all directions pass
Ing resolutions Of the same import. The
treasury IS filed to repletion-the money is
collected from the people, and as il is not
disbursed a. formerly, it is literally with
drawn from circulation, thereby reducing the
the amount of the circulating medium, and
creating a pressure in the money market at
the very moment Of high commercial pros
pcrity. The evil is universally seen and felt;
and the people think, as the President felt, or
at least said, when he first came into Office,
that the distribution Of this surplus among
the States, is exactly the ''plan. which will re-
,oncile the diversified interests Of the States,
and strengthens the bonds which unite
them" Under this view of the case, and IN
pursuance of the recommendation OF the Pre-
sident Jackson, we perceive with satisfaction
that Mr.. Bradsh has offered preamble and
resolutions, requesting our Senators and Re.
personalities in Congress, to vote for law
providing for the distribution of the proceeds
Of the sales ofpubllc lands among the sever
al States.
II is rather surprising, considering the
source of the recommendation, that the
House should have opposed the printing of
the proposition. We presume, however, that
it did not occur to the members, at first
blush, whence the recommendation proceed
ed and we doubt not that they will feel
greatly obliged to US for bringing this origi-
nal Recommendation, from such distinguish
ed source, to their recollection. The editor
of the Argus, too, (the organ OF Jacksonlsm
in Albany,-forgetting in the multiplicity OF
his avocations, General Jackson's recommen-
dation in lS29-has unadvisedly come out in
opposition to Mr.. Bradish's resolution. But
us he was in favor Of the project when first
proposed by "our venerated President" and
as in this very article now before US. he de-
clares in so many words that "principles ARE
uYcHASGEABLE," we trust that by the return
mail we shall receive his recantation of his
present error, and his explicit reaffirmance of
the sound and patriotic principles avowed by
the President in 1899, Of which the Argus
then so warmly APPROVED.

Letter from Wr. Burgess.

The following letter from Mr.. BUR-
GEs, will at once put at rest the unfound-
ed statements which have been SO indus
triousIy circulated in relation to his re-
marks before the Legislature of Massa-
'chusetts, on the petition to establish
Rail Road intersecting with the Boston
and Providence Rail Road.
To the Editor of the Providence Journal:
SIR-Since my return from Boston,
where l have been on business, for the
last two weeks, have seen 10 the Her
aid, published in Providence on the 10th
of April, instant: most singular mis-
statement OF an argument made by me
on Wednesday, the 9th of this month,
before the Joint Committee on Railways
and Canals, of the General Court of
Massachusetts,. This statement repre-
sents me as saying before that Commit
tee, that the jurisdiction Of Massachusetts
extends to the middle of Seekonk river.
l assure you, Sir, and all the people Of
Rhode Island, that this statement has
not the least foundation in fact On the
contrary, l said repeatedly in that argu-
ment, that the jurisdiction Of Rhode-s-
land, on that river, extended, on the east
side Of it 10 high paier mark.
\ That you and the people Of the State,
may fully understand this matter, permit
me in few words to state the case, and
that part Of my argument which is mis-
represented. l, with others, was pc
iitioner to the General Court of Massa-
chusetts at their last session in Boston
We petitioned for branch to the great
Boston and Providence Railroad: and
we requested that this branch might ter

on Lyon farm, at high water mark; and
at another place on said farm called old
wharf, also at high water mark, the
boundary line between the two States.
AS | am the owner Of that part Of the
Lyon farm where these two points Of
termination are, and Of the flats below
that mark and in Rhode-Islsnd, it was
my purpose to convince the Committee,
that could, by deed, convey this upland

EWrite your names
at length, on the back
of your proxies, or
your votes may not
be counted by the
Grand Committee.

The town-meetlng which takes place
this day is one Of great importance to
the feemen of Newport. There are
interests at stake, which no independent
whig will feel himself at liberty to lose
sight Of Upon the efforts which may
this day be made by the whig freemen
of Newport, may depend the final sue
cess of the Wing ticket. This town,
Throughout Gen. Jackson's seven years
steady and unlaltering march to supreme
dominion, has nobly resisted his progress,
and refused submission TO bis ambitious
claims. The recollection Of the ress-
tance made by Rhode-lsland, to the un-
holy designs upon her liberties, which
the enemies of the country near the per-
son Of Jackson have made him the in
strument of assaing, will hereafter be
among the proudest "reminiscences of the
patriot. Is this the time, then, for FREE
MEN to faIter-to look back, or cast
about themselves for excuses 10 shun
their duty Is this the time to listen 10
the ensnaring devices Of the enemies OF
the Country, the sold slaves to power:
Is this the time to sicken and grow wea-
ry in the righteous struggle to rescue the
bargained Republic from the grasp of an
army Of ofice-holders, more dangerous
to free nation than an immense army Of
soldiers No.-Far otherwise. This
is the hour, the precise hour, for every
man, who rightly estimates the value Of
our beloved country, calmly, but fear.
lessly to come up to the work himself,
and to beseech his neighbors and friends
to 60 with him. The Polls, yes, the
Polls-that is the place where it may
still be said, all men meet upon the same
level.-We would conjure every man,
then, to remember this great truth when
he goes to the Polls to-day. Ifany poor
man should there be besct by some inn
pudent but wealthy demagogue, and
urged to vote against the dictates Of his
own judgment-or if he should be AS
sailed, or threatened ,riih the loss of pub
lie employment by some plant instrument
already subdued by the love of wealth
himself-let that poor man remember the
dignity of his own nature, the high worth
Of his elective franchise, and spurn from
his presence the great and the little ruf-
fans who shall thus dare to sport with
his rights and his honor. Let such a
spirit fire every mans bosom and our tri-
umph will be complete. Let every free
man be at the Polls at the opening of the
meeting. Our political enemies are ac-
tive, sehemy, and unprincipled. BE at
the polls, then, at the ringing oftbe bell,
and protect the deep interests you have
at stake.

Troubles miM The hdiam.-I.ctters from
Washington under date of April l4lh, states:
awhile we have nothing OF importance
from the scene Of war in Florida, VIC have
advlccs from other quarters well calculated IL
excite alarm. Dispatches have been received
in this city, brought by express to Fort
Mitchell, which sliews the Greeks 10 be up in
arms, and that the Inhabitants are daily f,ar-
ing a re-enactncnt Of all the scenes Of blood,
which followed in such quick succession in
Florida. 1t is thought to be the fixed deter.
minaton of several of the tribes to make n
desperate struggle ere they relinquish their
lands and emigrate west Of the Mississippi.
The express stated that the Indians had as
sembled, under arms, some twenty miles be-
low Fort Mitchell, and were committing dep
relations on the property Of the whites, Of a
most serious nature. 1t stated also that the
lives of several families who had rendered
themselves OBJ oxions to the Indians, had been
threatened, and were only preserved from
massacre by the timely warning of friendly
Indians.
Such has been the alarm excited on this
occasion, that the Governor Of Alabama has
asked the President TO call out the Militia
This however, | understand, the President
refused, unless there was something more 10
Justify the act In this he is doubtless. righi.
If there were a regiment of disciplined reg.
ulars to send TO the scene of action il might
be well, but to let loose careless and undisci-
pined militia on tho Indians, would only be
to provoke them into long and protrncted
war, and make them guilty of nets Of ves-
geance which they may not at this time even
contemplate.

NEW YURK CITY ELECTIoN.-The most
quiet, orderly and respectable political con
test within our experience, has resulted some
what more favorable tnan we anticipated; not
that we had doubt of our own strength. but
because we knew the balance Of zeal and ac
Itivity to be IN favor Of our opponents. A
majority of the Aldermen and Assistants
have unquesronably been elected by Wing
votes, and our party clnims a majority nlso IN
the board of Aldermen and in JOINT ballot
The administration men contend that there IL
tie. The result may be fairly stated thus:
we claim the victory; our antagonists assert
that they are not defeated. The question
turns on the political conduct of Mr. Water
bury, Alderman elect Of the eleventh Ward.
II he is with us, we have nine ont of the six
teen; if he is against us, we stand eight To
eight in the board Of Aldermen. In tho
board of Assistants there is no uncertainty.
that board is equally divided. So that ~
Joint ballot we stand sixteen to sixteen, or
seventeen to fifteen, rs it may happen. At
all events, our friends felt SO much confidence
that they illuminated. last night, and Tum-
many looked rather blue.
