and thus call upon YOU to abandon all your long
cherished republican principles.
THE NEXT HOUSE OF REPRESENT |
ATlNES
The Fedcralists are continually Boosting of
| their majority ia this body. This We all know is
done for effect. The umid boy as he passes
near the grave yard, Whistles to keep good his
courage. The Fedeml,sts are welcome TO this. |
their day Of glory they may whistle and hgurse
TO keep their spirits N tiIm, and to spur their
menlas on to battle to their hearts content We
know how we stand and are fully satisfied as To
the general issue. Tho UN house Will show a !
| clear majority in favor Of the Administration
/ Aside from that which we have already gwen,
| and we have ciyeu the truth, the whole truth and
/ nothing but The TRUTH we have seen letters from
gentleman of great ABILITY, decided "Nhg,"
who has resided several years at the seat OF Gov.
eminent, which saws that the President will be
sustained, and his popularity Is rapidly advancing,
both among those who have heretofore been luke
warm IN their attachments, and those whose hos
| tty has been open and even violent We have
evidence of this fact from the West and South
" L. Era.
GEN. BRowN.-Ne learn that this gentleman
addressed large audience at Lexington the
other day, where he made most favorable I'M
! preston, as well as IN every place where he has
visited We are confident that this gentleman
will leave favorable impress wherever be goes.
| lie is a much superior man to either OF his com
pettors. He has completely used up DAVIS
wherever they have met In truth, at NckSburg
| the crowd nearly all went off and lief, DAVIS, al
though Brown had previously been received IN
the most enthusiastic manner. DAVIS complained
most bitterly Of his reception there.
We see some of the wings persist in saying
that Brown voted for the post notes. The Jour
mails prove that, at the last session Brown voted
against the post note measure 1t Is SINGULAR
that the wing press should propagate so shallow a
! lalsehood, as that Gen. Brown voted for the is
sue of pest notes by the Union bank-the truth is
not in hun who asserts IT, We have quoted The
journal once, and dsproyed IT. .Missssippion
RnopE IsLAND.-lt is by no means matter
| Of surprise tina, with such system OF laws as ex-
lists in Rhode Island there should be majority
in favor of the Wings. On the contrary, It may
be regarded os matter OF surprise that theie IS
not a larger majority. Ii is a system exactly
suited 10 the taste Of the Wings, and calculated
TO give the control to men who are hostile 70 the
principles u equal laws anu equal rights. Ii
the first place, none bit property holders are per-
mitled TO vote, which reduces much the larger
u,utiuu e Lo people 10 a.. condition or mere
slaves, who are subjected to the operation oil laws
which they have no voice 10 making, and which,
however oppressive, they can have no hope OF hav-
ing changed We are wrong. There Is, II seems,
an exception N favor Of particular class which,
If possible, renders the system still more odous.
The Oldest sons Of lreeholders are permitted to
VOTE though having no iIeehold OF their OWL
We were not before aware that provision 80 en-
iirely English, existed in any State IN the Union,
and the fact that ii does is disgrace to the coun-
try, and is at war with the profession Of republic
cansm. While II is retained, Rhode Island, al
though one Of the States Of the Union, cannot be
called Republican State
T With all these advantages however, in favor OF
I the Wings, ii was only by means of what looks
, very much like the grossest corruption that they
we're enabled to elect then candidates. Wing
J in tina. State, wiring TO the editors OF the Ne"
5 York Journal oi Commerce, says "Oui victory
il is manly owing TO the great influence exercised
f by Governor Sprague and his brother. These
: gentlemen, us you know, are very extensively
= engaged in manufactures and are popular and III
e fuental in many towns. For example, PRIOR t'
i the election OF members Of Congress in 1897
|. Warwick, the residence Of Gov. Sprague, wa
e accustomed 10 give Loco Foco majority Of 81
IL votes Ii now gives Wing majority Of 100
e Cranston, the residence Of Amos Sprague, ESQ
g which formerly cast Loco Foco majority Of n
81 votes, yesterday elected Mr.. Sprague 10 the As
;. sembly by 22 majoriy''
le Here IS beautiful confession, and made to-
ID by way of boast. A Governor Of State, no
70 only enters the political arena, with his official u
to fluence, but beln5 the most wealthy man m III
a. State, employs the influence which that wealth Ell
l. abIes him to exercise, IN the election OF member
ut TO Congress; and he and his brother by thes
r. means, are admitted to have made difference :
es Two towns only Of $50 votes. Where shall W
e. 10 for an instance Of corruption and official N
nv fluence more palpabe or more extensive tina
or this We are at a loss 10 name it. And ye
to the Wings SO far from being ashamed Of II, max
id an open boast Of il Oh shame, where is ih
he blushl But for The exercise OF this influence, III
n Wing candidates would have been defeated. An
oh this is the victory about which the Wings hay
he boosted and are Boosting so loudly. II this B
on not sufficient 10 disgust every honest and honor
he BILE man, and drive him from the support OF tn
is Wing cause, surely nothing can be. II is a cau'
re- which rests only on corruption, and a consia
NO display of ourages against the rights Of the PEI

all that The news from the Western elections has pr
