RHODE IsLAsD.-This little spot bids fair to be a
competitor with New York in rows and riots. The
election of the revolutionary or suffrage party takes
place next Monday and THAT Of the anti. revolu.
tionary party comes of next Wednesday. The ex.
citement is tremendous; and in the opinion of some
of the Rhode islanders, a civil war will follow and
blood will flow. 1t is our opinion that beer and
brandy will flow first and in largest quantities.

TARIFF AND TEMPERANcE.-The tariff movement
is a humbug, but temperance is a sober reality. If
men are temperate, they will be industrious-if in.
dustrious they will be economical-if economical
they will save money-if they save money, they will
have the wherewithal on a rainy day land if they
have the wnerewithalo on a rainy day, including econ.
omy, industry, and temperance, the exports and i'm
ports will always regulate themselves whatever the
revenue laws be.
The tariff excitement.is started.by hypecrites-one
half spectators. the other half politicians. Stick to
clear cold water, and kick the spectators and
politicians to the devil.

ELECTION REsULrs.-We see il stated in several
OF the city prints, that blunder at almost every thing
they undertake TO write about, that notwithstand-
ing the returns made by the canvassers OF the Sixth
Ward, Clarkson Crolius, the whig candidate for
Alderman, and Mr.. Atwll, the assistant, will take
their seats in the Boards, and " at al haz ards, be
sustained there" Now the law is, that no person
can claim a seat in either Of the Boards of Alder
men, unless they present full and legal credentials
to the clerk of each Board, recognised by the
Ward Canvassers and lie seal of the County Clerk
The Ward Cauvassers having refused to make
a return, owing to the destruction of the ballots, no
legal credentials can be given by the counsy clerk,
to either of the candidates ballottsd for in that
ward, at the recent election. This not only applies
to the above officers, but also to the collector, as
SCISSORS and constables. 1t is further stated, that
the wing candidates intend to be sworn in by the
Recorder, or one OF the Justices of the Superior
Court. Such a course will not be legal, as the 24th
section OF the amesded charter Of the city reads as
follows -
each board shall hold It's first meeting for the
purpose OF organising, on the second Tuesday Of
May in each year. at which time the Mayor or
Clerk of the Common Council shall attend, by
trh0m the oath Of office shall be administered 10 the
members elected. In the absence OF the Mayor and
Clerk, such oath may be administered by the Re-
corder or First Judge of The city, or by any Of the
Justices OF the Superior CouIt."
1t will thus be seen, that neither the Judges of the
Superior Court, nor the Recorder, can administes
the oath of office TO any member, claiming a seat,
unless both the Mayor and Clerk of the Common
Council are absent, which it is very improbable to
suppose will be the case at such an important cri-
sis. The result will, therefore be, as stated in the
Herald yesterday. The new Common Council yill
be compelled to order a new election before the diff
ficulty can be legally settled.
The statement that MIR. Allerton, who is elected
on the wing ticket for Assistant Alderman Of the
Twelfth Ware, is a resident of the Sixteenth, is con-
frmed by such evidence as will render him incapa.
bic Of taking his seal. This will give the demo-
Gratis a majority Of one in joint ballot, as Osgood
will be entitled to his seat.

in Perote; . 900 in Puebla; 500 in Vera Crdz; l,2oO

papers, to see what negros are therein advertised as
having run away. And as fast as they find out, they
write on to the owners, stating that the negro in
question has arrived in New York, and that the wri.
ter can catch him.. But first the master must remit
the writer twenty dollars, to pay preliminary ex-
penses, and afterwards remit one hundred dollars to
clear the account. The writer impudently adds that
he has a good deal of trouble with these things, and
a multiplicity Of business on his hands, and that if
the owner is not disposed to go through with the
thing, and prosecute it to the utmost, he need nj
trouble the writer at all. Now, generally, the bait
is taken, and the money RENTED; and the master
finds too late that the negro has never been off his
plantation, or at most not out Of the county. We
wish, therefore, to warn our Southern friends against
this new system of finance that has been resorted to
in these dull times to shave them OUT of a little sur
