TaE LETTER OF Mn. SpRAGUE TO
JAMES D'WoLr.-As if to crown the glo-
rious anticipations of victory which the
wings have revelled in, this evidence of the
triumph of interest over principle appears.
Although the last, it is not the least of the
omens from which they draw their uugures
OF success. The man, who for years past
has acted with the administration, who
pledged himself to sustain its measures,
and who in return has been cordially sup
ported and fully confded in by the demo-
cracy Of the state, turns from them, when
the clouds are gathering and the storm inn
pending, to seek for other allies and friends.
Until this letter appeared, we entertained
for Mr.. Sprague unqualified regard. We
did not know, until this precious docu-
ment was given to the world, that to
revenge themselves upon the wings, the
antimasons had united themselves to n
party with which they had no poitic-
al sympathies, and supported men and
measures at war with their principles.
Shall Mr.. Sprague be credited when he as
serts that this coalition with the friends of
the administration was " union of men and
not Of principles" We cannot but helieve
that the great body of the antlmasons
hold this assertion of Mr.. Sprague to be a
libel upon their party, and him, by whom it
was made, TO be no longer worthy Of their
confidence.
BY this admission, Mr.. Sgrague has
placed himself in the unenviabe position ol
one, who acted in opposition to his prlnci-
Piles when he might have sustained them
with perfect safety to himsclf-for if he and
his party were in truth opposed to the
measures Of the administration, he NIGH
have manifested that opposition by his votes
in Congress, and trusted for reelection
to the united suff'ragcs of the wings ant
an,imasons. Surely it cannot be in thu
power of Mr.. Sprague to carry over will
him to the enemy, one honest man belong
ing to either party with which he hal
been associated, and to whose confidence
and kindness he owes all the distinction Ia,
has enjoyed.
! Thus have we given true and righteou
statement of matters most relied on by our op
ponents to weaken our chances Of success
If in them, they eau find sufficient reason t
hatter themselves with the hope that th
triumph in the coming election will b
theirs, we willingly leave to them all tn
joys of anticipation.

DEMocRArIc FREEMEN OF RnoDE-IsLANp
On Tuesday next, the 29th Instant, you are
to decide, by the free and unbiased exer-
else of one of tho most important prcroga-
tives of freemen, on the merits of the sever
al candidates brought forward for your suf-
frages as Representatives to the 25th Con-
gress. We beleve.you to be generally in
tolIisent and honest, and wish neither to
excite your prejudiccs, nor inflame your
passions; but simply to address you as REA-
soNAmE men, desirous of discharging this
important duty in such maner as shall
best promote the interests of the state, and
secure, at the same time, the honor, welfare,
and happiness, of our common country. In
the exercise, therefore, of this responsible
duty, we ardently hope that personal con-
tests, antipathies, and jealousies of every
kind, may he laid aside, and that oil may
come up to the polls, with the noble and
PATRIOTIC PURPOSE, of acting solely for the
GENERAL GOOD.
With the proud bearing then of men who
know their rights, and appreciate the priv
ileges they enjoy,-with the spirit and de-
termination of RuopE-lsLAND rREEMEN,-
come ye boldly to the polls, and choose, on
that day, not whom ye shall serre,' but men
who are to be YOUR SERVANTS; aud who
possess both the ability and disposition
faithfully and cheerfully,to discharge all such
duties ms may devolve on the responsible
station to which your suffrages have called
them.
With a unanimity scarcely eyer before
parallelcd in the political history Of this, o
any other state, your convention have re-
commended Messrs PEARCE and HOW
ARD as suitable candidates to represen
you in the 25,h Congress; and as ever,
way qualified to discharge, with zeal an'
fidelity, the various duties devolying upol
them, a. representatives of free people.
They were brought forward by the con
vention, and recommended for your sup
port,-because, in the opinion Of the con
vention, they are just such men as your owl
interests, and the general welfare of th'
country, require should be placed in tn
councils Of the nation and to whom, not
withstanding the unholy efforts Of disor
ganiziug ia ction of monopolists, speculaiors
aud .pendthrifis, we have no doubt, yon
sufrragcs will he chccrfully given. OF th'
character, claims, and services, Of one o
the candidates, it is unnecessary for us t,
speak; in this important station you al
have known him as public man, for tn,
last twelve years and that he has served
you with uo less fidelity than ability snc

for the purpose Of making arrangements to

FROM FLoRIDA.-By a slip from the Sa-
vannah Georgian, we have advices from
Black Creek &c. to the llth inst. The
Indians were beginning to come in, at Fort
King aud other posts, with words of peace
upon their lips.
John Hicks, noted chief, came in on
the Sd, said he expected to find the other
chiefs, who were al. coming, Oseola and
all. Says the Indians are sick and suffer-
ing from want.
Two other chiefs came in on the 9th,
bringing similar tidings, and assurances
that the Indians will consent to the removal
in the fall.
Six Of Oseola's Indians came in on the
same day they said that the Micasahuy
chiefs were coming, &c,

will be bitterly disappointed. The admin

ders are in truth, sly dogs; and no cherlo-
tan, whether of Steam or Rain water mem-
ory, ever knew better how to take the adyan-
tage of, and practice upon, the gulibility of
their followers. There has been Of late a
mighty deal of chuckling among them at an
alleged detection, which it has been taunt-
ingly asserted, has taken place IN our ranks,
IN consequence OF Mr.. Spragues letter.
But let them chuckle. We are perfectly
willing they should draw all the consolation n
therefron which it can possibly afford them.
They ought to have something to keep up
their spirits, even If it be nothing more
than catching at straws, like drowning
man; which so far from being an augury
of success, shows the desperate character of
their situation. But is it really supposed
that the knowing ones among our oppo-
nents dream of success, by attempting to
catch the freemen of r. Island with such
chaff as this = They know better; they
cannot be quite so infatuated. The object
of that letter, and of Gov. Fenner's TO that
SrAUNcH REPUBLICAN & PATRIOTIC WING,
X. Potter, is too well understood to deceive
a single freeman, or even the boys, who
nightly congregate to applaud the silly
speeches of new whig converts. The free
men are perfectly aware of your game, gem
tlemen, aud these very letters, of which you
affect to be so proud, will increase the
democratic majority against you more than
one hundred rotes As they have been got
up for the occasion, however, we hope no
pains will be spared to give them an extern
sve circulation, that these gentlemen mo-
nopolists and specuIators, may have one
more convincing proof that the freemen OF
X. Island are not so easily gulled out of the
privilege of thinking and acting for them
selves, by such electionering games, as are
now attempted 10 be played upon them.

democracy of the state in the approaching
contest. Panic and deception, threats
and corruption, betting and boasting have
been resortcd to, beyond all former prece-

their fears, the ignorant assailed with mis-
representation, the venal courted through
every avenue of interest, and all the arts
attempted by which selfshness or ambition
can hope for success. Yet, in despite of
all these efforts, the democracy will'preval,
