pit his neighbors 10 jine him. and some on sem
did, bu. father, and Jeroshy 3 father. Mr.. Per-
kins. would mt agree to it, and so he couldn't
annoy the Gaping no more that way.
Al last he went TO poor, miserable, idle
Teller, that owed him more'n his own farm was
worth. and told him that il he'd go and insult
tho Gaping, spit in his face, and take away
some Of his sheep or turkies, and refuse to give
'em up. so'st to get the Gaping TO take the law
on him, he'd forgive him his debt, and see him
safe outer thesscrape. The poor devil didn't
da'.st to refuse, and so he did as old Polzy told
him.
This was rnore'n the good hearted but sper-
tied old Gaping could stan, and SO he turned
tn, one day, and Civ old Pulzy SIGH larrupin
that the old rascal couldn't rise from his bed
for three munce afterwards, and then he took
the law on him. and raked up all the old scores
for himself and injured eighbors, and afore l,e
got through with him, he suipped old Pulzy
Of every foot Of land he had in the world, ex.
cep: the swamp farm he begun on.
That's jist the way, my dear Pic, that we
ought to serve John Bull. If Gaping Potter
had let old Pulzy gene on five years longer
he'd been spider-web'd and ruin'd himself |;
but he saved himself and righted his neighbors,
BY turning upon his oil enemy in time. Noau
is the time for Us to lick John Bull, and turn
him back to his swamp farm-mind what tell
you, now! Your friend for ever.

outrage party contend that theirs is the illegal

so6faee party contend that theirs is the illegal
constitution"
Against these proceedings the iandholders
and their eldest sons have protested, and have
warned the people that the only way to obtain
another form Of government is through the
ballot box, according to the laws as they now
exist. Ia reply to this, the suffrage party say
none but land holders and their eldest sons
can approach the ballot box, and Of course a
great majority Of whom they call the legal
people, are excluded from voting and If they
submit to this they must have government
in just such form and upon just such terms as
the landholders please. To this they will not
consent, and they have recently rejected, by
handsome majority, constitution made by a
Iandholder's convention, for this reason, among
others: The suffrage party are now prepar-
ing to carry into effect, by all the means ne.
csssasy for such an undertaking, che ooDs.itu-
tion which they themselves have made
They now throw themselves upon their con-
ven,ional rights, such as are guaranteed to
them by the Constitution Of the United States.
They boldly affirm that a government by land
holders and their eldest sons, is not a :. repub-
icaa form Of government" within the meaning
Of the constitution Of the United States. To
conclude, and 10 sum up the greart contest in a
word, the landholders deny the right Of the
people to make constitution without the
'torms Of law" and the people deny the pow.
er Of the landholders TO call convention for
that purpose, inasmuch as they constitute only
small portion Of the people. How the con-
test will end time must determine.

Thes NeM Ycf1 Amna makes ~ iSllossinx
fenarks upon the prospects, Of war between
this country and England. the boundary ases.
ton, the right Of search, and the Creole case =
"CoMMERcr AND TRADE.-The Great Yves.
tern, which was TO sail from Bristol on the Cd
instant, may be expected this week. Her ar
rivalis anxionsly looked for, as she will proba-
bly, bring highly important news, beAh Of =
political snd a mercantile nature. There is
not the least ground for the apprehension Of
war between the two countries. The bounda-
~ question will be amicabie settled tho right
Of search will be waived BY England. If Fraace
remains firm in her opposition to it. The Gre
ole case. then. is the only question which could
create any difficulty at present; hut since the
excitement which it produced has aba,ed, the
opinion has become prevalent that it will be
settled to the satisfaction Of both countries.
We do not wish to argue the merits Of the
question, but we are convinced that the Eng
lish government could not surrender these ne
groes without violating her own laws, although
we do regret that such laws exist, which may
come in contact with ours. The commercial
interests Of both countries are too closely con-
nected and both nations too civilized, to allow
snch causes as those now pending to disturb
their prosperous intercourse. England's en-
croachmen.s upon our rights ought to be repu-
sed with frmness, but without any rancorous
feelings on our part; the rapid increase Of her
power we cannot prevent, but we can follow
her example, and strengthen our position. How
far Lord Ashburton's mission will aid the final
settlement of the pending difficulties, is impos-
sible to anticipate.

From the Boston Morning POST.
The Qsesl60a n Rhode xSlnad.

PROVIDENCE, April S, 1912. 2
DsAR SlR-As the contest now going on in
this State between the landholders and the suf-
frage party daes not seem TO be properly undef-
stood abroad, I ask the privilege Of placing in
the columns Of the Boston Post the following
statement.
In the FIRST place there is preliminary ques-
lion upon the point-"Who constitute the le-
gal people of Rhode Island - The landholders
say that they and their eldest sons constitute
the legal people, and that no extension of suf-
frage can righfully take place except what
originates with them, through the medium OF
the Legislature which is chosen by them.
The suffrage party contend that the Consti-
tuiion Of the United States, which is the SUI
preme law iusRhode Island, guarantee 10 ev-
cry State "a republican form of government; -
that the same instrument also recognizes no
distinctions between "ci,izens," but. pointing
TO the Declaration Of Independence, the princi-
pies Of which it was designed to carry into ef-
feet, it guarantees 10 all citizens equal prvi.
leges aud imnnities who are liable to equal du-
ties and burdens, and therefore, as necessary
consequence, the ..ciiizens Of the U. States, .
whose permanent residence is in Rhode Island,
are the illegal people" Of the State. Of course
you will understand males, in both cases, over
twenty one years Of age to be such illegal peo-
ple."

The VOTE OF cESsunE.-Much has been
said and much written, already, upon the con-
duct Of the House of Representatives in CEN
suring Mr.. Glddings for introducing his extra.
ordinary resolutions. As might reasonably
have been expected, some of each political
party condemn the course Of the House, and
some approve it. One Of his resolutions de-
cIared that the slaves Of the Creole '.violated
no law Of the United States, incurred no legal
penalty, and are justly liable to no punishment
In asking the House to pass that resolution, he
asks them to declare that the Southern people
have no right to hold slaves as property, and,
consequently he asks every member Of the
House to violate his oath to support the Con-
s,itution Of the the United States for that sa-
cred instrument expressly guarantees slavery
to the South. In asking the House TO pass
that resolution, he asks them to say that mutt
ny and murder are no crimes; tina. our laws
are not binding upon our own waters that our
laws do not protect the lives and property Of
the people Of all sections OF the country alike !;
that slaves are not liable 10 punishment, for
the commission of crimes, which all civilized
nations consider the most atrocious. He asks
Congress- 10 proclaim to the millions Of slaves,
that they maycomuit murder, Instruction and
mutIny, With Pesfanf irapnnify-. What nfher
meaning can be put upon the plain language
Of that resolution! Ii means that or it means
nothing.
We abhor slavery as much as Mr.. Giddings
or any other man can. We consider il great
moral evil, a great political sin. 1t is a foul
bio, upon the otherwise fair and bright escutll-
con Of our country's honor. The sin of slave
~ finds no apologist ia US. But this question
does not touch that matter. The question in
this case is, shall the National Legislature
sanction the basest crimes and the open viola
lion of constitutional rights! Shall Congress
invite the commissioned the bloody massacres
and indescribable horrors; of which St. Domipa
90 was the scene!
And when the whole nationis thAl
through their representatives1

TEA AND CoFFEe.-Mr. Clay, in his late
speech, proposed TO impose a tax of twenty
per cent. on these necessaries Of life, in order
to distribute the avails of the public lands. The
democrats propose to place tea and coffee a.
mong the free articles, and to restore the land
revenue to the Treasury. This is really the
only question there now is, as to the tariff.
Which is best for the people Of this State! Are
they willing TO pay as much for four pounds
Of tea and coffee as they now do for five
pounds, for the sake Of keeping up the land
distribution scheme; All consume tea and
coffee. and all will have to pay one-ffih more
for these articles. But who will be benefited
from the land distribution! Not cent will
ever find its way TO the pockets Of the people.
But Mr.. Clay proposes to raise the duty to
thirty per cent. Every family, therefore, who
lays out twenty dollars for tea and coffee, will
have 20 pay twenty six dollars those who now
expend forty dollars. will have to pay 6f,y-two
dollars. Few families purchase less of these
articles than the first sum- Here, then, will
be TAX Of from six to twelve dollars on ev-
cry family in the State, who will never receive
one cent from the IanG uisIributtou. THE will
be one Of the blessings of Wing REFORM
Hartford Times.
