Mr.. Aaron Lopez, who, before the Revo-
lutionary War, sustained the character OF
the first Merchant in Newport, having left
the town and resided in the country during
The time the Island was in the possession of
the enemy, was about returning to resume
his former business in Newport, when he
unfortunately lost his life by which cir
cunstance the town was deprived of a most
valuable man, and at "A time when such a
commercial character.
The circumstances Of his death, were
peculiarly distressing, not only to his own
fumily, but TO whole community, by
whom he was both beloved and respected.
We give the death of this excellent man
from the Newport Mercury of June l, 1882.
"On the 2S,h of last month was drown

Msssachusetts) to Newport, universally and
sincerely regretted, Mr.. AKRON LOPEZ,
who for number of years before the COM
mencement Of the present War was an in
habitan, of this town, deservedIy esteemed
both as worthy citizen, as we'll as a Mer-
chant Of the first eminence.
This unhappy and unexpected event was
occasioned, as we are told, by his driving
bis horse and carriage into the edge of a
fresh water pond adjoining the highway,
distant from Providence about five miles,
with a view, as tits said, Of watering his
horse, washing his carriage, &c, when, in
an instant, the sand gave way under the
horse, and Immediately enveloped horse,
carriage and rider, in such a depth Of water
as rendered abortive the most strenuous ex-
er'ions of his servant as we'll as relations
who were with him, in endeavorinr to rescue
him. In this unparalleled scene, our com
miseration is peculiarly heightened by ad.
verting to the unspeaksble grief and ankle.
ty which must have attended Mrs. Lopez,
without being able to administer any relief.
Assistance from the town of Providence
was obtained as soon as possible and up
on searching, the body was found-but a.
las 100 late to receive any aid from the
medical art.
On the 30th his remains were brought to
this town, and the funeral attended the
same day by a respectable number Of the
Inhabitants.
That there is kind Of veuera,ion, which
may be styled natural, due to the character
Of those most exalted for the practice Of vir-

BOND AND DUNCAN'S SPEECHES.
Mr. EplroR;-My neighbors have known me as
an administration man; and such confess has been
my character. But have witnessed the course
pursued by Mr. Van Buren, and his party in refer
ence to the currency, and have lamented his nfat-
uated and headong proceedings, yet my faith IN
him was not wholly shaken till read Mr. Bonds
speech setting forth the corruptions of the Govern
ment, and letting out the secret of its bankruptcy
AS had not read any other than Van Buren, pa
pers ignorant of the desperate condition into
which Van Buren, had sunk the Government by
its extravagance-they, the Van Buren, papers, have
kept these things secret, called them "federal
lies" ! was confounded at those disclosures, and
was prepared to doubt respecting them, and wait
ed to some reply, supposing some defence would
be set up by the Administration 1 grasped Dam
cans speech with eagerness, and perused it thor
oughy but my establishment was only equaled by
the feelings 1 experienced when read Bonds
"Duncan' S reply read through once and again
and what reply My doubts as to the truth of the
main points in Bonds speech were removed, and
l am now, Democratic Whig-for retrenchment
and reform, not in promises, but in practice. Dun
can is put forward as the cham on to combat Bond,
and he made his utmost efforts refute him; but
Bond official Documents to sustain his charges
could not be got over or travelled around; there
fore conclude, will every candid reader Of the
speeches, that the extravaganza of the administra-
ton cannot be defended Justified shall there
fore go against it. AS democrat holding to g.
economical administration of the Government, can.
not, and will not support such corruption, let it be
practced by Van Buren, any body else. My
neghbors agree with me that Duncans speech is
a lame one, and that it does not meet the garing
exposures of Bonds 1t is but nine years since 1t

eminent, but it now costs $33 900 900 per year

Vantes TO be the democratic party appears evident

Vermont il is well known, that of the prominent
men in political Offices in lS12-14 and so on, who
were in favor of the war, we now find them array
ed in the ranks of the Dem ocratic Wing party
while on the other hand, many of the leading fed
erasts of that day, are now foremost i'm 81 compose
the administration party Gov. Galusha, Hon.
Mark Richards, Hon. Isaiah Fisk, Gov. Butler,
Gov. Gratis and others, or are staunch Wings,
and Chittenden and his associates are now ranked
with the supporters of Martin Van Buren,. Anoth-
er fact-in 1914, thereabouts, the town of Burke
gave only some IA or l6 votes for the federal can
ddates;at the election last tall in that town, the
vote for the Democratic Wing candidate for Gov
ornor, was 1856, and for the Van Buren, candidate
81. Burke maintains its consistency, and will at
the next election, give larger Democratic Wing
majority than last year. What say, freemen of
Burke, will you not?

Mr.. Chadaoich,-An article in your last, furnishes
several hints as to the manner in which business
was cut and dried the Locotoco senatorial conven
ton, held in this county, in June last have heard
of some other things done and transacted on that
occasion, it is said which should like to inquire
into the truth of. AS you Printers find out, some
how or other, all about these matters, permit me
to ask question or two. Did the custom house
Dictator go on to Danvile with ticket all arrapg-
ed composed of one of the persons nominated and
the other certain renegade Wing, who belonged
to the old Federal party, and whose name is
ionay found attached to calls of Democratic Con-

drop his name and substitute that of another? Was

the banks, and their followers are duped and join
them, when the leaders reap the benefit, and the
dupes sell them their bills at discount, and
sent to be fooled twice. But it is all done in the
name OF modern democracy. Will not people soon
learn who cheating them by this cry against
banks. We have heard of boisterous gentleman
in the town Of p, in this county, who is large
stock holder in bank, and ocofoco, who gives
lectures to such fools will hear him, upon banks
against banks-and GO down with the banks" Now
if this could succeed by his party in breaking
down the bank in which he has stock, and when
broken buy up the bills at so pei cent. he, one
of the stock holders, would perhaps, as his share
OF the fruits of his GO down with he banks get
1000 dolars-this will pay him well for his la

DECEPTION The North Star says that the Wings
are IN extacies because they have elected q Wing
Governor in Louisiana, by a diminished majority
from last year, and this is all il condescends TO give
its hoodwinked readers relative the recent cleo
ton in that state, which resulted in victory of the
people over corrupt administration, as complete
and decisive as that in Conn. or Me. my What
will those think who depend on that print for cor
rect information, when they are informed that there
was election for Governor IN Louisiana last wear

has been none since July 1884, at which time, Gov.

"What think you, Of the democracy of Charles
Davis, Esq. the first candidate on their Senatorial
ticket for Caledonia county? He has opposed all
the Republican Administrations ever since he first
came into political life. Worth Star, Aug. A.

to one of the democratic Wing candidates for the

Of the Star? few years since Mr. Davis was
candidate for Representative for the town Of Dan

itor of the Star and Gov. Palmer. Who have chang
ed? The people know, and need not answer.
Mr. Davis supported Adams administration, OPP
posed Jackson and Van Buren,, as V. p, and so did
the Star Yet the Star in the same article says it
has supported all of the Republican administrations,
and that Mr. Davis has opposed them all Where
is the discrepancy? The readers of the Star know

article from which the above extract is taken Age
