IN the immediate control of the Execu-
tive Of the United States, in violation of
the spirit Of our institutions, we are dri-
ven to the conclusion, that it had its orr
g'n in motives directly the opposite Of
patriotism, and is resorted TO as the for
iorn hope of an expiring panty, endeav-
oring to sustain itselfin power, by means
OF the public treasure.
Resolved, That the bill introduced in.
10 the Senate of the United States, by a
Senator from South Carolina, to cede to
the new States the Public Lands within
the limits Of each of said States, is a
wanton attempt TO sacrifice the interest
of the old States for some party or polit-
cal purpose, and ought to be resisted by
all honorable men in Congress-, from ev-
cry quarter Of the Union.
Resoired, That these resolutions be
signed by the Chairman and Secretary,
and forwarded to our Senators and Re-
2resentatives in Congress.

FROM THE FRONTIER.

BY recent accounts from the frontier,
new troubles are springing up, insornuch
as to cause the speedy action Of Com
grcss, as will be seen, Tor the prescrva-
tion OF our neutrality. General Scott
arrived in New York on Saturday even
ing, and finding dispatches there which
should have met him at Albany, set of
for Buffalo again by express on Sunday,
intending to proceed without delay to the
Michigan frontier.
The patriots, it is stated, are gather
ing in various numbers, with arms and
ammunition, all along the frontier, par
ticularly about Sandusky and Toledo,
Ohio. ST. Clair, above Detroit, is sup
posed to be the point Of rendezvous.
1t is reported that 4 of the 800 regu-
lar troops from London, lately arrived at
Halifax, pcrished from the cold on their
way TO Canada.

WARWICK, January %, 1895

WARWICK, JaHualy 80, IC'o.
Gcntlemen-You favor Of the l lth inst, in.
forming me that the Wing Convention had
nominated me as candidate for Governor,
was duly received. The cares Of an active
private business, urge SO many claims upon
my time and attention, as to leave me but
little leisure to devote to the consideration of
public measures, or, to the discharge of pub
lie duties. Were 7, therefore, to consult my
feelings, my incinations or my interest mere
lv, should, without the least hesitation, de-
cline the nomination of the Convention.
But if ever there were period in the po-
litical and pecuniary affairs Of the Country,
when mere personal considerations of every
kind should be sacrificed upon the altar OF
patriotism, that period is the present one
We have suffered and are still suffering un-
der the accumulated and accumulating evils
OF misrulc and misgovernment. The meas
uree Of the late administration, from its un-
iustifiable attack upon the Bank OF the Uni
ted States, aud through that, upon the credit
and currency of the Country, down to the Is
sue Of the Specie Circular, have reduced US
from a state of unprecedented prosperity to
one of almost universal bankruptcy. There
is scarcely a branch of business but which IS
laboring under the most runous emoarrass-
mcnts and what is more to be dep0red, IN
the originating and prosecution OF these
measures, the Fundamental principles OF our
government have been and are still violated.
The President and executive officer. whose
ospecial duty it was to execute the laws rs
made by the Legislative branch OF the gov
crpment. assumed the functions OF that body
"a himself. II is true the Constitution clothed
him with n veto power, but when this power
was employed SO as TO defeat tie will OF the
pcople, distinctly and emphatically expressed
'bv their representatives, and 10 enforce meas.
uy.s ,chich Mey disapprored, 1t was exercised
cen,rary TO the spirit of the Constitution, and
in derogation of the principles upon which
our government is founded.
While we wore rcaping tho bitter fruits oi
measures thus forced upon us, the present
administration came into power. For mo-
mont. a generous and coDfiding people en-
tertaincd and cherished the hope, that It
would profit by the errors Of the one which
nreccded il, and attempt at least, to alleviate,
,f il did not remove, the evils under which
thov suffered. Tho hope, however, proved
r,llscious. and was abandoned almost as soon
=. !, was entertained. In the announcement
of the Sub.Treasury System, the present
Administration declared to us that the reign
of experiments was not over; that the evlls
we endured were but preparatory to those. "
nossible. crester ones, which were TO DO IN

Mr.. ATKINSON

Mr.. ATKINSON
/ understand that by the request Of the
First Baptist Church in this town, the
Pastor of that Church has prepared a
discourse to be delivered before them on
the completion of the Second Century
since the settlement Of this Island, com
prising the civil and religious history of
the State for the last hundred years, in
continuation Of the discourse delivered d
by Mr.. CalIander, in 1888.
l would suggest the propriety of this
towns taking an interest in the discourse
alluded to, by appointing committee to
make suitable arrangements, on the part
of the town. Soon after the Cenlennia al
celebration in Providence, in 1886, it
was thought by many Of our citizens that
the people. of Newport would have en-
tered into some arrangements, in their
corporate capacity, to celebrate the ap-
preaching occasion, but as no such thing
has been done as yet, and the 10Th Of
next month being the time for the cele-
bration, would it not be well for our in
habitants, by an act Of the town, to par
ticipQe in the interesting event
We agree with the writer Of the fore
going, and hope the Town will, in due
season, adopt some measures TO manifest
a proper and becoming interest in the
celebration.

MR.. GRUNDY'S LETTER.

The Hon. Felix Grundy has address
cd long letter to the Legislature of
Tennessee, acknowledging that he has
always been an advocate for the right Of
instruction, and that he shall vote against
the Sub-Trsasury system of finance, as
directed by their resolutions.-M G..
then goes on with long, labored argu-
ment, endeavoring to show that his in
struciions are wrong, aud that he yields
very reluctant to what he acknowledge
es TO be his duty under existing circum-
stances. But from his own argument, it
must be obvious to the understanding Of
every candid, rehecting person, who
reads Mr.. Grundy's communication, that
all the complicated evils which the coun-
try now suffer from the arrangement Of
the currency, have grown out of the war
declared by the Government az ainst the
late Bank Oft United States, and that
this has been the great procuring cause
of the unprecedented embarrassing nts
and distress, which now pervade all clas-
ses of business men throughout our coun-
try.

ExPEDlENT.-The ilouse of Assembly held
an extra sitting in the afternoon and evening
of Tuesday of last week, for the purpose Of
discussing the resolutions of Mr.. Holey, in
opposition to the executive project, by means
Of the sub-Treasury scheme, to obtain The

revenue. 1t was the determination Of the
Wing members to sit until the question
should be taken. or course, the small squad
of dcmagogues, led by Mann and Perkins
King, did all in their power to defeat that
purpose. But the Wings were inflexible.-
They met to proclaim the voice of the peo-
pie; and at half-past one on Wednesday

Ii falls to our lot to record most pain
Gul event which transpired in this place,
about o'clock, on Friday evening last.
Samuel Tuell and Stephen Deblois, Jr.
were in company with several others at
store in Thames-street, and as we learn
had been thoughtlcssly and imprudently
triilng with each other for some time,
when Tuell seized butchers knife from
the counter and inflicted wound upon
Deblois, in the abdomen, which most un-
fortunately caused his death in about 81
hours after. We will not take upon our
selves to say, that the act was intention
al, or premeditated, on the part of Tuell
he has been fully committed for trial,
and the proper tribunal should alone de-
eide upon that point.
The Providence and other papers,
which have stated that Deblois caused
the death Of Tuell, will Of course correct
the error, the facts being as above men
toned.

1t will be seen that AIR. Sprague expresses
his opinion, of the ruinous measures Of the

causes which produced the distress under
which all classes are now laboring, and Of the
only etiectual means whereby credit can be
restored, business revived, and prosperity and
happiness be brought again to smile upon US,
in clear, strong, and unequivocal terms
There is not sentiment contained or ground
assumed in the letter, to which every true
Wing who is influenced and guided by the
right views and feelings cannot yield sim
cere assent and hearty support.
We commend his remarks to the attention
of every member of the Wing party, and say
to him, perusc it, then Danish all animosi,ies,
of whatsoever name or nature they may be,
as they are of minor importance in compar-
son with the great principles for which we
