Ridiculous.-The wing papers are quar-

they have to lie in, the better it will be for

Fellow Soldiers.-The soil of our State
has been invaded. One of our citizens,
while in the performance of duty required
by law, was arrested within the territory Of
Maine, and carried TO an adjacent foreign
province, where he now remains incarcer-
ated within the walls of prison. This is
but the repetition of former acts Of injustice
committed against our border inhabitants,
by officers acting under the authority
of the British province of New Brunswick.
The integrity of the state must BIO pre-
served.-Maine looks to the General Gov
eminent for redress.
Our citizens must be secure within
our limits, and it may be found neces.
sary to bring forth military power to
give that protection to which they arc en-.
titled.
The commander in Chief therefore, calls
upon the militia to hold themselves in rea-
diness to obey such orders as the security
of our citizens and the honor of the State
may require.

[For the Herald OF the Times

Five of the six delegates 10 the Van Bu-
rem Convention from this town, came out in
yesterdays Il. ]. Republican, over their own
signatures, and stated that Mr.. Pearce used
no such language in the Convention as "that
he was opposed to all Banks and Bank rags"
Now this is all subterfuge, and am surpris-
ed that men of their high standing in the com.
munity, should be willing, for party purposes,
to descend to the pitiful business of giving a
garbled statement Of the remarks of q gentle
man at whig meeting the other evening, and
putting their names to such a statement, for
the purpose Of shielding Dutee J. Pearce from
the charge Of fLoco-focOismt to which he stands
committed in its most odious form-a charge
fastened upon him by the leading Van Buren,
organ in this State, the Providence Herald
and charge which he, p. never has yet dar-
ed to deny. viz: shat he is opposed to Ma
fional Bank in ANY FORM" ] would ask these
gentlemen whether he was not obliged to
give assurances of his determined opposition
to the establishment of such an institution,
before he could obtain a nomination at all
and furthermore, whether a committee was
not appointed by that Convention to wait on
MIR. Sprague, with instructions to oblige him
to subscribe to the same doctrines, before he
could receive the unanimous support Of the
democratic" party OF this State. Let the
sir Delegates to the Van Buren, Convention
from this town, answer these questions fair
y, candidly, and explicitly, if they dare!
The Hon. c. G. Champin is the first slgner
to the certificate above alluded to. The 9th.
ers, except Major Bull, we think nothing Of.
But Mr.. Champlin has wrough; himself up to
give certificate intended 10 be in faror of Du-
tee J. Pearce. Now we unequvocally and
explicitly state, that Mr.. c. G. Champlin has
repeatedly declared that Dutee J. Pearce was
a vulea worthless, unpr;ncipled man and un-
worthy Of any confidence. We call serious
ly and loudly upon Mr.. Champln to deny this
if he can. 1t behooves him to deny il, if he
can; for if he cannot, he is endeavoring to
palm upon the people man in whom he him
self has no confidence, and believes to be q
man Of no principle.
We request the people to read again the
repeated declarations in the Republican Her.
aid, Of ofProvdence, that Dutee J. Pearce was
pledged to oppose a National Bank in any
shape, and then compare it with Mr.. Cham
plin's certificate. Do these gentlemen think
that the people are to be duped in this way?

The Kitchen Cabinet candidate for Rep.
resentative to the next Congress, has been
journeying through every town and village
in the State for some time past, pledging his
sacred honor, in some cases, that lie would
exert his mighty influence as a national leg
islator against all banks, and monopolcs Of
all sorts and kinds, and extolling the wisdom
of Jackson's EXPERIMENTS. In some other
cases, where he found those who had been
his friends doubling the cxpediency Of perse-
vering in experiments which had reduced
them from affluence to poverty, he advocated
the establishment Of a National Bank, and
gave them an intmntion that If they would
continue to favor him with their votes, he
would use his immense influence in favor Of
such an institution, and admitted it was ne
cessary for the purpose of restoring sound
currency and giving to the laboring man the
means of subsistence. We challenge this
octagon politician to come ont under his own
proper signature, and honestly tell the free
men of Rhode Island whether Inc is for or
against the establishment, by Congress, OF a

able to the success Of the Wing candidates
for Congress at the election, which is near at

quarters, which threaten the total defeat Of

tee J. Pearce can import some perjurcd vo-
lers from Washington, "under the conduct of

The Journal of Commerce Of yesterday
contained table professedly giving the re-
turns of the members Of the next Congress
in the above named States. The table, how
ever. is full of errors, and as was to be ex-
pected from the Journal, the errors are alto
rether against the Wings and in favor of Mr..
Van Buren,. For example, the journal gives
the Wings the entire Delegation OF New
Jersey in the last oath Congress; and when
the Journal knows, as does every oody else,
that the New Jersey Delegation IN the last
Congress was friendly to Mr.. Van Buren,
The Journal in its calculation also persists
in claiming Mr.. Turner of Maryland as n
Whip. when the Journal and every body
knows that he was Van Buren, man. In
the Journals calculation Mcssrs. Legare and
Rogers Of South Carolina are also put down
ms Van Burcn men, when the reverse IS the
fact. Mr.. Lcgnrc was elected in opposition
To Mr.. Pinckney only in consequence of MI
P's policy on the Abolition question. Mr.
Rogers is n Union man, and not Van Buren,
man.
In the above table we have made no cacn-
lation for the three vacancies in Alabama, or
for the three members to be chosen in Rhode
Island and Michigan. In the eight districts,
however, our chances are equal with those OF
our opponents. The Whig members must
be NJ their posts early. Mr.. Polk must not
be re selected Speaker Of the House; nor the

The Republican of yesterday, copied in a
