was the most respectable, as to numbers,
that we recollect Of seeing in Newport
for several years. 1t was formed in
front of the Custom House, and pro
cecdcd up Thames-street, according to
the order published in our last, to Zion
Church. Included in the pr ocession
and which contributed in no small de-
gree, to the sho,c, at least, were about
thirty little girls, from 10 to l2 years
of age, dressed in white, with wre eaths
of evergreen on their heads, bearing
the banners and emblems Of the old
Tammany Society, which has long been
extinct in this place.

have not time or room to speak OF tho
Grafton as it deserves, and must there

few general and appropriate remarks
upon the return of the day, he dwelt at
length upon the Revolution and its ac-

struggle Cor ireedom-spoke Of the et-
fects of the revolution in this country,
and its effects not only on all Europe,
but tho whole world alluded in Il pa
thetic manner, to the treatment the In
dams had received at our hands. He
finally urged upon his auditors public
Uiriue, as being the only barrier against
tyranny and dospotism, without which
our fair Republic must fall-and in con-
c!usion he said that "Amcrica must
remain free-on the last page of time

tho artillery company, and cutter Vigi-

nounced the measure as an infringe
ment OF the rights Of the States. and
declared their determination to make
common cause with us. The popular
indignation has been expressed in ma
ny places, and by large assemblies of
the People in various parts Of the I'm
ION; but | recur with special gratifica-
ton TO the solemn protest Of fifty thou
sand of the intelligent lreemen of New
England recently assembled at Bunker
Hill. We protest. says the DecIar-
alton put forth on that occasion, a
gainst the conduct of the House of
Representatives in the case of the New
Jersey election.-This is not a local,
but a general question. In the Union
OF the States, on whatever link the
blow ofinjustice or usurpation falls, it
IS felt, and ought to be felt, throughout
the whole chain. The cause of New
Jersey is the cause Of every State, and
every State is therefore bound to vim
dictate it,
but, while we duly appreciate
these grateful expressions ofsympathy,
let me remind you, gentlemen, that
we have a solemn duty to perform.
! To us, as citizens Of New Jersey, is
committed in special manner the vim
dication of her rights, and it becomes
every Jerseyman to embrace the only
mode prescribed by the Constitution
to express his honest indignation anc
assert the sovereignty ofhis State. The
citizen who could passively consent tt
see the seal of his State, which is th,
emblem of her sovereignty, prostrateC
in the dust, may justly be pronounced
unworthy TO enjoy the protection which
it ensures. 1t is gratifying to believ
that those who have thus violated on
rights are likely to be deprived of tn
power to inAict further wounds on tn
Union; but, should a like encroach
> ment be attempted under any Admin
istration Of this Government, it wi
! become the duty of the Legislature t
convene an assembly Of the People t
consider measures Of security and pro
lection"

every quarter of the land, Of the same
spirit which achieved the victories of
those two memorable days at Sarato-
ga and Yorktown.
From the first organization of the
Government of the United States un-
der their present Constitution until We
ry recently, a sense of decorum uni
versally prevailing has forbidden Pre-
sident of the United States from all ac-
tive or evenindirect canvassing of votes
for himself, and has alike interdicted
the exercise ofinfluence by any prece-
ding President upon the election of
his successor. l have not myself at
liberty to depart from this rule, and
therefore have abstained from attend
ing at any of the public meetings held
within the Iastt welve months, with re-
ference to the approaching President
al election.-Ihave deem ed it my du-
ty to leave the People of this Union to
make up their own minds upon whom
they will confer the honor and impose
the burden of their Chief Magistracy,
and in puruance of the same obligation
[ have RETAINED from addressing my
constituents, even by letter, as had
occasionally done before, but which
could not have failed at this time to bt
attributed to the desire Of influencing
the election of President, or even to ;
motive still more selfish and sordid
1t is a source of satisfaction to me tt
perceive that the People i'll all parts o
the Union have made up their minds
without needing exortation or solicita
ton from me.

A DIsCovERY.-Some three or
four weeks since a party of farmers as
sembled together at mound on the
premises of DR.. Huges, for the pur-
pose of digging into the same mound,
and asceraining what it contained
They accordingly commenced opera
tons, and after digging some three feet
below the surface Of the mound, they
came to layer of hard earth, similar
to brick. On breaking through this
layer, they were little surprised to
find large roll of"Continental Bills"
neatly inveloped in an untanned Buffa-
10 skin. On farther search a number
of ancient coins were found, composed
chiefly ofzinc, brass, copper, and pew
ter. But what is most remarkable,
an iron time piece was found nearly al
the bottom of the mound. This watch
or time piece was marked on the out
side "Pela Fourch, Patre 1300," ant
on the back of it was engraved "bor
vivant." The watch weighs twenty.
eight ounces, and is somewhat rusted
The works are composed of brass anC
steel, and it is similar in style and make
to the English hunters watch of thi
day. Several other articles were foun,
the names of which our informant dit
not recollect.-Cin. Ledger.

fair, but wrinkled, her eyes small, yet
black and pleasant (; her nose a little
hooked; her lips narrow, and her teeth
black IA defect the English seem sub
ject to, from too great use Of sugar:)
she had in her ears two pearls, with
rich drops; she wore false hair, and
that red; upon her head she had a
small crown, reported to be made oil
some of the gold of the celebrated
Lunebourg Table. Her bosom was
uncovered, as all the English have il
till they marry; and she had on a neck
lace ofexceeding fine jewels ; her hand
were small, her fingers long, and hel
statue neither tall nor low ; her air wa:
stately, her manner of speaking milo
and obliging. That day she wa.
dressed in white silk, bordered will
pearls of the size of beans, and over i
a mantle Of black silk, shot with silve
