"Messrs. Pearce and Sprague nave been
unanimously nominated for reelection to
Congress, by both the Antimasonic and
Administration Conventions last week held
at Newport These nominations we think
must give entire satisfaction to the united
democracy of Rhode Island, and their sue
cess ensure faithful representation of the
best interests Of the State. IL the farmers
of Rhode Island have not come to the con-
clusion to surrender the control Of their in
terests to spectators, and to prefer depre-
ciated paper money to healthy constitu-
tionnl currency, the candidates of the de-
mocracy will be elected.
Messrs Pearcs and Sprague are tried SER
wants and are known to be faithful. Mr..
Pearce is one Of the Oldest members Of the
House of Representatives and has but few
equals in point of talents and influence up
on that floor. His assiduity to the inter-
ests of his constituents is unsurpassed. He
has done more, and is able to do more for
the State of Rhode Island than any other
man she can send into the councils Of the
nation.

1t is said that a Convention will be held
at Washington, during the extra session,
for the ostensible purpose Of agreeing upon
some plan for the resumption Of specie pay
ments, but in reality, it is spprehended,
with view Of enabling the representatives
of the State banks to intrigue with the mem.
hers of Congress, and to restore and strenih-
en- the connection between bank and State.

journal, says the majority for Mr.. Naylor,
though large enough, falls short of the ma
jority for Col. Watmough, over Mr.. Miller,
in 1890; and over DR.. Burden and DR..
Lewis united, in 1892. in the same district.
His majority over Mr.. Miller was 672 and
over Drs. Burden a nd Lewis 93l. The per-
sonal popularity Of General Ash and Mr..
Harper. subsequen tiy, produced a different
result. These facts show clearly, that the
Third Distrc, has been. for some years past,
one of the most unstable in the com mon

Gen. JACKSON has addressed the public
through the Nashville Union of the 18th
inst, in reference to the testimony given
by Judge White before the committee of
which Mr.. Wise was chairman. This COM
snittee, it will I've recollected, was raised at
the instance Of Wise, Bell, Pcyton & Co.,
to examine into the corruptons and viola
tions of official duty on the part Of Execu-
tive officers, so often reiterated on the floor
of the Ii. of II. by these pnrtizans and their
associates in the Senate chamber. Judge
White, it will also be remembered was one
of the principal assailants, in vague and
general terms, Of the administration and
executive officers, and was one of the prin-
cipal witnesses relied upon by the Wise
fnciion, to substantiate their charges. His
testimony before the committee has been ex-
tensively published in the wing organs, and
drew from Gen. Jackson, at the time, a
brief correction of the leading accusation
which it was the design Of that evidence to
establish, accompanied with the profpise to
follow it up, al some future day, with the
more minute review and exposure of its
fnlacies and contradictions, which is now
before US. 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that as matter of Standardization, it is
and conclusive, and places
Judge White and his political associates
and abcuors before the public in light at
once awkward and disgraceful. Ib.

We can tell the Herald why the demo-
cratic party wero unwilling to alter the time
of the election, so tha, il should take place
in July, instead of August. For years past
the wings have hsd no other mode Of elec-
tioneering than by panic. When times
were good, they got a panic-when times
were bad, they set their wits to work to per-
suade the people they were worse. Rain
or shine, panic was their watchword-their
talisman. A month ago they had, by their
clamor and QUERY, frightened many into
the belief that the country was completely
ruined and that it was all owing to the gov
ernment Bot people are getting their eyes
open-the fog raised by the wings is passing
"wny-and in the latter part Of August the
treemcn Of Rhodc-Island will be able IN ace

friend OF truth, is daily diminisb;rr ,h.;r

Anti-bank Meeting.-Thc Cincinnati
Phenlx contains the proceedings ofa large
meeting Of the democratic electors Of Ham
ilton county, Ohio, held on the 18th instant
occupying no less than four coluns Of that
paper. The preamble and resolutions were
read to the meeting by General r. L. Lyle
and unanimously adopted. They were to
the effect that the Constitution confers no
powers on Congress to charter any Bank;
that gold and silver is the only safe circula-
ting medium {; that the papsr credit banking
system is unsafe and productive of incalcu-
liable evil that the present administration
IS entitled to our confidence, and hat they
viii uphold the executive in carrying out the
principles of the constitution. The suspen-
sion ot specie pay meDts by the banks, is de-
nounced in no measured terms, and the leg
islature of Ohio, is requested to take early
measures to compel them to resume or an
nul their charters; that the legalizing of the
suspension is in effect imparing the obliga-
ton of contracts, and there is no reason
why banks should be more entitled to the
favor of government than individuals.
In a letter recently addressed by Mr..
Benton, TO one of his friends, in which he
the State of Missouri on be-
ing without bank, the following passage
occurs:
Hard money has done for us what it has
done for Holland and France-given US
solid, permanent and diffused wealth, with
happiness and prosperity; paper money
has given to the other parts Of The U. States
what it has heen giving to England for the
last fifty years,-pressure, distress, bank
ruptcy, the ruin Of fortunes and the destruc-
,ion of happiness"

NEWPORT.
TUESDAY, JULY A, 1887.

The sixty-6rst anniversary of our Ma
tional Independence is this day celebrated
throughout the Union. The arrangements
made to honor the day have, in many p!a-
ces, been unusually spirited. In Provi-
dcnce, in addition to the usual ceremonies,
they are to have most brilliant display Of
Fireworks in the evening; judging from
the description published in the papers they
must be very splendid and well worth see
ing.
The Herald Of the Times speaks Of
Messrs. TIlinghast and Cranston, the whig
candidates for Congress, rs well and fa-
vorably known to the freemen of the State"
We shall endeavour TO avoid all personali-
ties in the present canvass but we shall
suffer no man opposed to US in politics to
pass for more than his real value with the
people, five can help it. Now we ask the
Herald what Mr.. Robert B. Cranston has
said, or done, or written, that should make
him so very popular with the freemen of this
State Some years ngo he was sheriff Of
the county of Ncwport--nfterwards post
master here; and he is now employed as
cashier of u Bank in this town.
When Governor Jones was in office, Mr..
Cranston, being then subaltern in the Ar
tilIery Company, ordered the music bclong-
ing to a detachment under his command
when the Governor landed on the day be-
fore election, to play the "rogues march,
Mr.. c. was, at that time, Of the democratic
party-but we doubt whether that party ap-
proved then, any more than it would now,
Of a gratuitous insult TO the chief ma gistrate
of the State. A year or two since, Mr.
Cranston subscribed his name with those of
Mr.. Il. Hazard and one or two others, to an
address and resolutions in relation to slavery
agreed to in town meeting, when not
quarter Of the freemen of Newport were pre-
sent; which address pronounced the African
race to have been born for servi,ude and in
capable OF enjoying rational freedom, and
went within hairs breadth of DENYING that
they were human beings. We shall never
forget the effect produced upon us on hear
ing such sentiments avowed and approved
'mong us-athough we then were, as now
opposed to intermcddling with slave proper
y in the Southern and Western states. We
cmember that the second reading of the
address was called for, objected to, and the |
esolutions passed without an opportunity for
election being allowed to those who heard
hem for the first time. But it in town
,eeting we were pained to witness the un-
ecessary sacrifice of New England princi-
les and feelings to conciliats Southern ap-
rotation, we remember with pride that no
'ember of the General Assembly, to this
ay, has called for report oftho commi t.
&c of the House to whom, after reading,
ley were referred. That committee was the
rave of the address and its accompanying
solutions.

Mr.. Sprague has declined the nomina-
ton for Congress rendered to him by the
Democratic pnrty, on account ofprivate af-
fairs which require his attention at home.
The nominating committee met yester-
day in Providence: and ere our next num-
Der is published, will no doubt have selec-
ted n candidate who will be sustained to
a man, by the republican freemen of the
state.
