with treason against the said State of Rhode
Island and Providence Plantations, is fu-
gltlve from justice, and supposed to be now

cellency Chauncey F. Cleveland, Governor
OF said State of Connecticut, for the appre-
hension and delivery of said Thomas Viii
son Dorr, according to the constitution and
law OF the United States in such case made

HENRY BOWEN, Secretary of State.
LEGISLATIVE APPOINTMENTS.
The imbecility of the officers appointed
by our Legislature at its present session, is
notorious. For Judge of the Superior Court,
an obscure country pettifogger is chosen,
who never had his talents sufficiently priced
by his fellow-citizens to bring him before
the Chief Justice as their counsel, in the
same Court in which he is now placed upon
the Bench!
For our Probate Judges, such men are Sc
lected as John Russell in Hartford Henry
A. Mitchell in Stamford! s. s. Hoskins in
Simsbury and host of others equally tai.
ented! In regard to Mr.. Russell, his incom-
potency was admitted by the appointing
power, but such objections were silenced
by the suggestion that he could appoint
Clerk tcho soould be able to perform the duties!
such is the ability, talent, efficiency, and
Independence of the Judiciary which Loco
iocolsm would impose upon the people
Lovers OF justice and equality, how do you
like 1t What say you to such fragrant
abuse of the appointing power! Will the
people sustain agents who not only disre-
gard their wishes, but trifle with their dear.
est rights! The freemen Of Hartford coun.
ty at least. the first opportunity the ballot
box presents, will answer in voice Of thun.

Under the Tariff Of lS25, the ship building almost

under the growing imitation, it fell off in le36-75 10

PAPER imitation and the high Tara, threw tie business
into the foreign bottoms, because under those crcum.

Of the North of Europe, more especially the llanse

sequence of this absence OF taxation, vessels are built,
and sailed from those pafts, much cheaper than from

that The only whose vessels have an undue pro-

The new Tariff has cut off the trade which we car.
red on with the British provinces, in great number
Of articles imported from foreign countries With the
moderate duties which the merchant lately paid, he
could afford to import these articles, pass them through
our cus,omhouse 10 the great advantage OF our reTe-
nee, and forward them to the Canadian market. A
high Tariff and cash duties hare put an end to this
branch of our commerce and source OF public revenue
Several days since, a memorial was drawn up and
put in circulation asking Congress for repeal Of the
Tariff in this respect 1t prays, that for the future when
foreign merchandise, upon which duty haa been paid is
exported to Canada, the duties may be returned 10 the

Tariff, we presume will meet with no objection from
