From the Neso Bedford Gazette.

Hon. DUTEE ]. PEARCE has been nominated for
reelection 10 Congress by the Democrats and An
tmasonS Of Rhode Island and again consents if il
be the wish Of his constituents-to be the servant OF
the State in the National Legislature. He was
nominated by Two distinct ConvenionS-and thd,
of the Administration party which took place at
Newport is said to have been the largest ever held
in the State. Every town was representative
meeting was spirited-and the most perfect har-
mony and unanimity characterized their proceed
ings.
Few men have had a more bitter opposition to
contend with than Mr.. Pearce. Indetatigable in
every thing he undertakes,-fast in friendship
and nfexible in integrity-he is ever in the front
rank for the defence Of popular rights His con-
spicuousness as the advocate Of free principles has
made him a convenient target for the barbed ar
rows of whig envy, federal malice and remorse-
less SANDER. The party opposed to the present
administration attemptto traduce his character not
because they believe him an incompetent representa-
tive ofthe sovereign peope--but because they know
his power and fear his influence. Oflate they have
been unusually industrious in promulgating false re-
ports, respecting him. Hoping to prevent his re.
nomination, they published to the world that his
friends had lost all confidence in hn-tha he had de-
serted them--weuld be trusted by no party-and in
tended TO "run on his own hook" To prove that
these were real whig misrepresentation it is only
necessary to refer the public TO the unanimity with
which he has been nominated Here then he has al
ready achieved signal triumph over his assaiants-
and trust thatb virtue Of "t that wooden sceptre
of the people sovereignty" he will be vaantly de-
Tended, and crowned with the trumphal laurels of
bloodless victory.
Dir. Pearce stands fair with the people Of Rhode
Island. His standing at Washington is equally un-
exceptonable. tie deserves the united support of
the independent ycomanry ofhis State, and doubt
he will received IT,

The KINGsToN.--We are sorry to hear
that for wan, of sufficient support, this fine
boat is to be withdrawn from our waters
until the Pier now building on the Nara
gansett shore is completed, which will be,
probobly, in September. She has been
chartered, we understand, to run between
Boston and Nahant, where good boat is
wanted. If speed and safety are qualities
which will please them, she will soon be a
favorte of the Bostonians-they will no
doubt take a notion" to her.

IcOluiDns, commencing on our Hrst page
will be found an abstract of the proceedings
ofthe Assembly at their late session, which
we have selected from the reports published
in the Providence Courier, aud Journal
The new act in relation to Banks, and the
report Of the Bank Commissioners, we have
also inserted.
The Assembly adjourned about 9 O'Clock
on Sunday morning, to meet at South
Kingstown on the 2S,h of October next.
The proceedings of the Democratic Re-
publican Convention, which assembled last
week for the purpose of selecting candidates
for Congress, resulted in the UNANIMOUS RE-
SOLVE to recommend DUTEE J. PEARCE
and WILLIAM SPRAGUE to the sup
port of the people Of this State. Their
nomination we venture to assert, will receive
the united and cordial concurrence Of the
Democracy.
MIR. PEARcE has long and faithfully rep
resented Rbode-Isand in Congress, and
has the strongest claims upon the conf
dence and suffrages of her citizens. His
great experience in public affairs, his well
known zeal and activity in promoting the
best interests of the State, his industry, abil-
ity, and superior qualifications, all point to
him as a candidate highly acceptable to The
friends of the administration, MS one who
will receive their warmest support.
The prudence, discrimination and sound
judgment of MIR. SrxAGUE, no man can
doubt who knows him well, or has observed |
his public conduct. Should he consent from |
patriotic motives to sacrifice personal con-
sidera,ions and to suffer himself to stand
a candidate for reelection, the votes of the
state will triumphantly tell in what estima-
lion he is held among us. With these names
Inscribed upon their banner, the Democracy
Of Rhode Island will march 10 the conflict
confident of victory.
The republican party will cordially sus-
ain the nominations Of the Convention.
The time has come when their united ef-
orts are necessary to maintain their ascen-
fancy IN the State. Tho contest into which
hey are entering is not for men, but for
principles Of vital intcrest-of vast in,por-
ance. The times call for active and en- !
rge,c action. No considerations, but
hose of public character, should be suf-
cred to influence the votes of any, who are
'rh us IN principle. Every where through
ut the country, doctrines essentially re-
nblican are gaining ground. Men of pow :
rful minds, hitherto strangers to the strife il
politics, have come forward to expound
le true causes of our national embarrass-
tents, aud to show the folly Of those who .
ave sought 10 charge them upon the policy Il
the government. v
What cause then exists for us q, this time
despond, or doubt Of success. Each pass y
8 day brings strength to US on the wings of Il
quiry, aud damps the hopes Of our oppo- SC
nts. Let but the causes Of our national fr

This we consider one of Mr. James hap
piest efforts, and it will be read with ayidity
by all admirers of this fascinating species
Of writing.
He has selected for his present field, the
eventful period which Immediately preced-
ed that, when the Mistress of the World"
was shorn of her beams and the proud
Empire of Rome was shaken to its very
foundation. As the name indicates, the
snthor's intention j. to portray the charac-
ter and recount the exploits and military
achievements Of Attila, the Monarch fthe
Huns, who. if history speaks true, was not
inaptly styled the seomge of God.
1t abounds with passages of great power
and deep absorbing interest. His descrip-
tion of the earthquake which occurred at
Dalmatia, spreading ruin and desoation
around, overawing the startled spectators Of
the scene, aud putting to flight the house,
hold Of the palace of Diocetian and the in
habitants generally, the interview between
Attila and Leo the servant Of God, the Wis.,
ion and its Interpretation, are among the
passages that might be mention
ed, which cannot fail to rivet the attention

1t will appear that the amount of specie
was considerably increased between the
dates of May llth, and June oh, and it is
but justice to say that the increase is prin- !
cipal'y owing to purchases made by the

to be observed that the returns made on the

between deposte on intcrest and deposits

The Hon. Mr.. Peyton, Of Tennessee, in
one Of his late speeches in Congress, gives
the following humorous account Of the
parental guardianship exercised by the
President over Mr.. Van Buren,

know something of the conduct of those in
whose hands the public business is entrus-
ted, and who really administer the Gov

al Jackson long enough. | was present
when Mr. Van Buren, took his position
there. 1t was striking display Of that
paternal care which the President has ex-
tended owes Mr.. Van Buren,. In the
spring of 1884, the President, Mr.. Van
Buren,, and few other gentlemen, q
amongst the number, rode out to the
Washington course to witness trial of
speed, IAN amusement of which am very
fond, and for which the President had not
altogether lost his taste at that day. 1t
was trial run between the celebrated
Busiris and Emily. The horses were
brought on the course, all was calm and
quiet until the rider of Busirs mounted,
when the old courser, began to rear and
plunge; this seemed to stir the mettle Of
Old Hickory: he reared upon his stirrups
and took commands; "hold him." said he
to the boy, "don't let him run against the
fence. You must break him of that, sir,
Ito the trainer) could do it in an hour ~
Turning to me, he said, stake your stand
there" (pointing to position on the side
of the eourse,) "there is but one place
from which horse can be correctly tim.
ed" | took my station with lever in hand.
"Now," said he, "come up and give them
a fair start" AT this moment he discov-
cred the Vice President, who had come up
and taken. his position near me; he ex-
claimed with great emphasis and earnest
ness Of manner, as he flashed his eye from
the excited animals to the Vice President,
"Mr. Van Buren,, get behind me, they acill
run over you, sir" 1t would have done
you good to see how natural and easy il
was for Van to slope off behind the old
chief. And, sir, there he has been ever
since. Old Hickory would not get out OF
the way for us to run over him; fhe had
given US a fair chance, on any stretch or
turn during the whole race, we would
have run over him, or made him fly the
track. But sir, we have got him on the
repeat, the General will be out of the way
he is no game-horse, and we will make q
case of him on the repeat.
