THE ELECTION.

Our readers are aware that the friends
of good order and constitutional govern.
ment-the Wing party in Rhode Island
have not agreed upon any prox for
State officers for the present politics al
year. 1t is unnecessary at present to
state the reasons which induced the
Wings to adopt this policy. Many Of
those reasons, however, must be obvious
to every one. We think every good cit
izen will deem it to be his duty TO visit
the polls on Wednesday next, if for no
other purpose than to vote for Wing Rep
resentatives to the General Assembly.
Let other towns do as they please, New
port should hold fast her integrity. Let
her be represented in the General AS
sen'bl!v as she has been during the whole
reign o! Jackson despotism, by men true
to her intcrest-men who feel themselves
elevated above the vulgar, mean, cring-
ing spirit That actuale the great body of
the tory party, who arc now seen truck
ling and iawning and doing all manner
of servile homage to the powers that he,
in order that they may stand at Wash
ington high on the roll Of begging, hum.
bled supplicants for office.
There is another reason that should
induce the Wings TO attend the polls on
that day. 1t is well known that the Suiss
troops of the tory party-the political
.8nt'mdsons-a endeavoring by trick
ery,to run in one of their.vassals, George
Turner, as Secretary Of State against
HENRY Bowen, Esq one of the best
officers that ever filled that situation.-
Mr.. Bowen has always kept himself
aloof from political squabbles. Long
and well as we have known this gentle
man, we can declare with truth that we
know not what his politics are-that we
never heard him express any opinion
whatever on political subjects or party
politics. In olden times, it is true, Mr..
Bowen was Of the old JcfTersonian par
ty-but since his first election to the Of
flee he now holds, an Office decidedly
more important than any other in the gift
Of the State, be has devoted himself
wholly to the faithful and conscientious
discharge Of its duties. The CHARACTER
Of Henry Bowen, both public and pri-
rate, is,of itself an ample and satisfactory
guarantee for the faithful and impartial
discharge Of the duties Of that important
and responsible Office. Why should
such man be removed from such an
Office to make room for George Turner?
Is It because Turner is true Jack son
man ol many years standing' Is it be-
cause he was nominated by the Admin
'siration Convention? No, surely not
for that Convention nominated MIR Bow
en-. Less than four years ago, Turner
publicly declared i'm what was then call.

VIZ uC AuS
chanics Society in this place not long
since invited the Rev. Mr.. FARLEY, of
Providence, to deliver before them one
or more lectures upon Education. In
pursuance Of that request, this gentleman
recently delivered two lectures on that
subject in the Unitarian Church in this
town-the first on Saturday evening, and
the other on Monday evening last. Both
these lectures were listened TO by the
Society, at whose solicitation they we're
delivered, and by large, respectable
and attentive audience with profound and
thrilling interest. We acknowledge our
inability to do any thing like justice to
the matter or manner Of the lecturer
In The first lecture, the Rev. gentleman
gave a detailed and luminous view of
the magnificent system Of public educa-
ton now in full and successful operation
throughout the whole kingdom of Prussia.
From the very nature Of this lecture but
little more could have been expected
from any one than dry detail of facts,
lily calculated to engage for any length
OF time the close attention of mixed au-
ditory. But such was the Righteousness
Of stylc-the systematic accuracy in the
arrangement Of facts-the direct single
ness Of purpose in the use made of those
facts-the irresistible power and perfect
aptness of language, and the impressive
manner Of the lecturer, that he was ena-
bled to hold the whole audience, for
nearly two hours, in yielding an almost
breathless silence. Although Mr.. Far
ley fully admitted the inapplic ability Of
the Prussian system of education to the
peculiar situation and circumstances Of
our own country, yet he ingeniously
seized upon the fact, and cited as evil
dence in favor Of his positions the ano-
malous and extraordinary phenomena,
that government, perfectly and abso-
lutely despotic in all its forms and ac-
tion, had with great care and wisdom,
devised system Of education which is
Pre-cminently calculated, nay, which
compels the entire mass Of the popula-
ton throughout the nation, from the
meanest peasant to the noblemen that
surround the throne, to educate their
chlldlen, and thereby prepare them for
usefulness.
In the lecture on Monday evening,
MIR. Farley took general and compre-
hensive view Of the plan, or rather vari-
Gus modes of education pursued at pres
ent in our country, and pointed out with
great power the manifold imreriections
that pervnde the various plans adopted
in many of the States for educating the
people, and gave his own views of the
means to be used in order gradually to
introduce throughout the republic per-
feet system Of education suited to our
peculiar circumstances and habits.
In this branch Of his subject, Mr.. F.
gave clear and indubitable evidence that
he had read and thought much and
deeply upon the peculiar structure of our
governmcni-that he rightly estin ated
our free institutions; their cost, their in
es'inabIc value, and the price the peo-
pie must pay in order to sustain and
transmit them, pure and uninjured, to
remote generations. lie was peculiarly
happy and powerful IN pressing home
upon the minds of his hearers the great
aud paramount duty Of the citizens Of

From the Georgetown, ID. G.. Metropolitan

An interesting trial took place on Tuesday,
the 4th inst. in our circuit court, in a case In
which the celebrated Mrs. Ann Royal was a
party concerned. Mr.. Barney Parsons was
indicted by the grand jury for taking snn,ma.
ry satisfaction on the fair lady, for sundry
caustc applications Of the pen editorial, in
the Paul Pry, paper conducted lately by
Mrs. X. Mr. Barney not having the tear Of
the press before his eyes, and being some
what intoxicated, did, with most gallant style,
approach the sacred person of the editress,
and did, not having the fear Of the costs Of
suit and various other legal liabilities before
his conscience, but only seeing his Roysl
critic before his twinkling orbs. raise an arti-
Gle Of BLUSH hue and plant body, denomina-
tod c0wskin, for the purpose bought, over
the head Of the fair Ann, and apply in the
most scientific manner, the aforesaid weapon
To her shoulders.
The learned counsel for the plaintiff re-
marked, with philosophical precision, ,ihat Mr.
Barney Parsons should, for the future, bear
in mind that excellent old English ballad sung
by old people 10 children:-
"i'arney leave the girls alone "
This interesting and important trial WIS
not conducted amidst the tcurs Of the audi
encc, and Mrs. Royal sat apart, perfectly un.
concerned; and like her mother, Eve. ate up
Piles, while Barney Parsons, who in vain en-.
denvored to make an eloquent speech, had to
undergo, like Adam oi old, the punishment
OF the iao Of the land Barney was sem
fenced to pay a fine Of five dollars; but wc
learn that he will be recomrne nded to mercy.

The subject Of purchasing two new

ton of the meeting. Some difference
Of opinion was expressed as to the con-
di,ion Of our Engines and the nece ssity
of purchasing any new ores at the pre-
sent time.
Mr.. VIM. James TiIley stated 10 the
meeting, that he was correctly informed
our Engines, generally, were very much
out of order, and not to be relied on
with any degree Of certainty in case Of
fire. He was Of opinion that somc ex-
pcrienced person, well acquainted with
their construction, ought to be appointed

kept in good order and fit for immediate

Mr.. Geo. Engs thought there was no
necessity for any such appointment, as
he was quite confident that our Engines

Mr.. Adam S. Coe expressed similar
