RHODE ISLAND ELECTION. We perceive
with much pleasure that the Hon. Dutee J.
Pearce and William Sprague have received
the nominations of the Antimasonic and
Democratic Conventions both by unanimous
votes, for reelection to Congress. This
unanimity among their friends of all shades
of opinion renders their success nearly GER
tain. No exertion, however, should be
spared. The Federalists are endeavoring g
to take advantage Of The present financial
diiiculties, which lave been occssioned BY
their over extravagant spec ulations as mer-
chants aud bankers, to overtur n the admin
istration. They may, perhaps, delude a
few dupes, but the mas of the people must
come forward in their strength and set the
matter right.
We take this occasion to render our fee
bic tribute of appreciation and gratitude to
Mr.. Pearce for his valuable labors for the
country. The most important service which
any public man can render to the People,
at this moment, especially in New England,
is to encounter with fearless independence
the indignant faction which but recently
prevailed in Rhode Island and still retains
its hold by small majority upon the
Government of this Commonwealth. The
prost:ation of this faction, which may prop
efly he described as pould-be- -paper-mon-
ey-arisfocrocy, in Rhodc-lsland, is owing
in no small degree to the firmness, perse-
vcrance and address Of ID. J. Pearce. His
services in Congress are not less valuable.
There are few members of the House of
Representatives who display more activity
and talent or enjoy more influence. The
republicans of Rhode-IsIand owe it TO the
government and the country, as well as to
their own honor to give him triumphant
re- election
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1837-07-04

more comfortable we should be by our fire :
side, than in such crowd as must be en-
countercd at Mrs. Parker's. For myself
the society of my wife is my highest en-
joy .nent, and of her conversation never
grow weary"
"Thank you f,r the compliment, dear
said Mrs. Cunningham. and we will set
tie the business AT another time"
One Of the first persons Julia distinguish
amid the company, ms she entered Mrs.
Parker's drawing room, was Mrs. Cunning
ham who gave her a nod and an exulting
smile, as much as To say" You see ] have
carried the day !" Julia had endeavored
to arm herself for this evenings trial, should
Miss EIdon make one Of the company ; and
accordingly she was not surprised, and not
much moved, when she saw her husband,
conversing with that young lady. She was
too delicate in feeling, too refind in manner
to watch them, even long enough to catch
the expression of Mr.. Westbury's face {; but
resolntely turning her eyes another way,
she endeavOred to enter into conversation
with the persons near her.
To be Continued.

From the Providence Herald.

"The wings have plumed themselves n
good deal on supposed extensive defec-
ton and division in our ranks, and have
calculated largely upon it as the means by
which we were to defeat ourselves. They
have merely been dreaming, aud while they
were chuckling over division fatal to our
cause. behold-our nomination was made
by the UNANIMOUS vote of a convention COM
posed OF delegates fran suery topn in the
state. This does not look much like a rery
great detection. We advise our opponents
not to calculate too sanguinely on a triumph
originating in such n cause. A few may
probably step aside from our ranks, but
they will not take up arms for the wings |;
and we will venture the assertion, that the
loss from the whig ranks will more than
equal our own. The democratic party,
will face the works in solid phalanx, in-
tent on victory and they will gain it, if
the people are true to themselves.
Mark what we say, We, of the Journal.
It is too late in the day for the democratic
freemen of Rhode Island to be.
d" Pleased rifh rattle, tieksed with a
sfrdr."

resented in Congress by their last delega-
ton their interests, and the interests Of
their country have been cared for by ,her,
the sound principles of the true democratic
republican school have been maintained by
them, and Rhode Island has recovered ,ha,
degree Of influence, and respect, among
the States Of the Union, to which, though
small she be, she was justly entitled. and
Of which she had been deprived.-The free
men well know the fatal consequences Of
a change and they will still sustain the
men who have won their confidence by
strict fidelity to their trust"

THE New YoRK MIRRoR.-A new volume
OF this popular periodical commenced with
the number issued last week, which is or
namcnted with fine engraving on wood
presented as specimen Of the perfection to
which the art has been brought in this coun-
try. The cost of this plate is said to be FIVE
hundred dollars. We mention this as show
ing the liberality Of the proprietor in provid-
ing the ornamental part of the publication.
The embellishments of the Mirror for the
last volume were got up Mt an expense ex-
ceedIng jfre thousand dollars! Some of
them are equal to the finest engravings we
have ever seen-hardly excepting those in
the most expensive English ANNALS. The
proprietor in fulfilling this pnrt of his en-
gagcments, 1t is generally acknowledged,
has done all and more than was expected.
Nor is it only in the embellishments that
Col. Morris has evinced his liberalty, and
determination to redeem his pledges; the
sblest writer's in the country are engaged
to render the Mirror the most attractive Pc
riodical Of its class. In addition to Messrs.
Willis and Fay-both of whom have for
some years been associate editors-engage-
men,s have recently been made with other
popular writers. Mr.. C. F. Hoffman, late
of'he American Monthly Magazine, has
been employed ms co-editor, and the
present volume is to be favored with the
Of Capt. Marrya,,-,he most
popular writer Of tho day-who has been
engaged to write exclusively for il during
his stay in this country. Last weeks num-
ber contains the commencement of tale by
him.

through correspondence with the banks.
IN the commercial cities, with q view TO
speedy resumption Of specie payments.
This 's,ire Ell. II. proposes to make the
subject OF q conference among the several
banks IN the commercial cities, at con-
vent'on to be held at Philadelphia on the
second Monday in August next-lhat the
resumption when agreed upon, may be sim
uiisneous throughout the Union.-Gen. ii.
is explicit and candid as to the causes Of
'he present embarrassments in this country
and in England. They are, he saws,
Identical evils, resulting from identical
causes-over trading, extravagant spec
ulation and paper money" In this res
peot, he furnishes a ready answer to the
sinister attempts of the opposition to charge
upon the Government and the acts of the
administration evils which have their orig ia
altogether in other sources, aud which those
acts were calculated 10 arrest aud check
rather than stimulate or produce: and he
admits that a national bank would only
have yielded to the prevalent impulse to-
wards expansion, and thus have augmented
the existing embarrassments I; for the truth
OF which he appeals to the Z" course of
events" in Mr.. Biddle's own bank in Phila-
delphia as affordng +" the strongest expon-
ent." The remedy proposed BY Gen. II.
IS gradual diminution of bank capital in
the United States, by the falling in of char
tiers, until it shall reach point to be fixed
by some safe ratio amongst the states-an
amendment OF the constitution giving Con-
gress the power to charter national bank
and to regulate the denominations of bills
to be issued by the state banks.
