THE RHODE ISLAND DIFFICULTY

THE RHODE ISLAND DIFFICULTY.
Rumor, we perceive, has been uttering its
thousand falsehoods in relation to the probable
action of the Federal Government, in connection
with the unfortunate difficulty in Rhode Island
The extremes of parties have been guilty of ex-
treme folly. The ultra leaders in politics have
taken ultra ground. The Abolition Clay Bank
Wings (of which the N. Y. American is the
principal organ) denounce the Suffrage party as
rebels, and would have them all hung up, with
out the benefit of clergy. They are secuted at
as if they were not American citizens They
are denounced, as if they were not freemen-
On the other hand, the ultra Democrats seem to
regard the Charter party as SO many royalists,
invading our soil, and would have them dealt
with accordingly They, too, forget that these
are Americans and freemen.
For our part, we believe that Justice stands
about midW ay between them. Let them meet
upon this medium ground, and Justice will take
each party by the hand and settle all their diff
cultes amicably.
The President is Republican, in the full
sense of the word. He must carry out the
provisions of the Constitution He cannot set
tie the internal difficulties Of States. Hence
his reply to Gov. King. Would not any man who
has affected to blame him, been called upon by
the obligations of his oath and his prescribed
duty, had he been President, to do the same
thng2 He discharged his duty. This he will
ever do. But there is no danger that he will
ever order any portion of his fellow citizens to
be ''put to the sword" as some Of the agitators
intimate. He is sincerely DESTROYS to see tn e
whole matter amicably and satisfactorily ad-
justed And 1t doubtless wiH be.
We have reason to think there is plan on
foot which will soon settle the whole matter
We predict that no more arrests will be made.
and we are impressed with the belief that those
arrested will be set at liberty at once 1t has
been intimated to US that every appearance of
hostility will be suspended, and another conven-
ton agreed upon by the parties. An election of
delegates chosen by the whole people of the State,
all parties minging together the polls is spoken
of. The Convention will adopt Constitution
which all parties will recognize. This, in our
opinion, is the way the difficulties will be set
tied. We hope the politicians will not inter-
nose IN nrevent snch conSummation

From the Philadelphia Inquire,
FAITH AND ENERGY.

In the course of conversation few days since
upon the necessity of faith and energy in the pursuits
of life, Of our most respectable citizens cited his
own case. He said that in the early part of his ca
reer, and when he had been married but few years,
favorite child was taken i'll, and angushed for
some time. The and expense connected with
the misfortune, narrowed his pecuniary very
much, and to crown the temporary disaster, the
geon who employed on the occasion, sent in
bill for 5000 1t was paid, but in efecting the object
our friend compelled to sell the horse with which
he carried on his business "You may well imagine y
he remarked, 'atfars looked gloomy enough in pc
cuniary point of view, about this time. But was
young enjoyed good health, and possessed both faith
and energy. The world was cross and shadowy for
WHILE but still pushed on with as light heart as
possible, and now, thank Providence, after having
brought up large family feel myself perfectly in
dependent and hope TO continue so for the rest Of my
days" The citizen alluded to, is by an old
man. has already enjoyed the confidence of the COM
munity in an eminent degree and may be referred to
as an apt illustration Of the results of FAITH ENER-
Gy and UPRIGHT MORAL CONDUCT, in the progress of
man through civilized life.

penses Of the Government knocked the Clay Wings
into pi the printers would say The Intelligencer
(Clay) exhors the friends Of its Magnus Apollo to
hold fast and stand by the Distribution BILL under all
circumstances. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, on the
receipt ofthe sessage pronounced the awful sentence
that the Tyler men and Clay were separated by
an impossible gulf in consequences of this course on
the part of Mr.. Tyler All this is well We now
know where we stand. Our enemies are before US.
They are the enemies of the country, and the coun-
try will deal with them they deserve. Mr.. Tyler
has thrown aside all feelings of party pride, in the
matter of the Land Distribution law. The necess-

view and il will be with the people Let the Clay
partlsans refuse to suspend this law, and il will only
be another nail in their political coffin.

THE DO-NOTHINGS-AND A SUFFERING,
INSULTED COUNTRY.

If it the settled and premeditated purpose of
the modern wing majority in Congress to bring our
beloved country into position to receive the most
wanton insults and wrongs fir m foreign nations they
could not possibly devise any method more promotive
of such reasonable design than is evnced in their
daily conduct the proceedings of these heartless
wanda to be taken as the true representation
of the character and principles of the people of this
Union, the respect which the civilized world has
heretofore exercised towards uswould inevitably go
into galoping decline.
Let us solemnly look at the case. In England we
have jealous and powerful rival, eager to en-
tangle us-and the crowned heads of all the earth
would rejoice to have it proclaimed throughout their
doninons that republican government had proved
failure in the United States of America. What friend
to the honor of the country to the continuance of
our form Of government view the present aspect
of affairs with unconcern' While dscord and dis
traction reign supremely in the legislative and exc
cutive depart ents of the government the treasury
IS empty and bankruptthe deficiency in the revenue
for the year officially declared to DE fourteen mil
lions Of dollars-and the credit of the government
sunk so low that money cannot be borrowed These
Illuminating truths are no secrets The eyes of the
world are constantly watching us-and our circum-
stances as well understood in London and Paris
as in New York or Philadelphia.

ferrsd that part of the Presidents Message and ac-
companying documents relating 10 naval srma'
ments as also the resolution Of the do ise of Repre-
sentatiyes " That the Committee on Naval AfaIs
beinstrucied 10 inquire into the expediency Of max
inc immediate provision for the defence Of the Chesa
peake bay by steam batteries" report
That they deem unnecessary at this time to dwell
on the Importance of guarding and of defend
ing the principal commercial avenues and naval esia
bshments Of the country from the danger Of INVASION
Whatever difference of opinion may have formerly ex-
listed as 10 the proper mode for accomplishing IL, all
must agree in the absolute necessity of speedy and
vigorous prosecution OF this great object II argu
ments were wanting to enforce this position, we would
refer u he unprotected condition of the United States
and the immense losses sustained by its citizens dur
ing the late war with Great Britain in consequence
of inefficient defences along our Atlantic fronter
and especially, at this critical juncture oil our
foreign affairs we would invite attention to the war
like preparations of that powerful nation, not only at
home, but in the West Indies, and in the immediate
vicinity of our shores She is sparing no pains or
expense in bringing her Navy to periecuon. NOT
satisfied with the immense physical force at her COM
mand the aid of science is called in, and she Is pre-
pared TO take advantage Of the great changes eieced
in naval warfare by the introduction OF steam and
other inventions. When the problem of ocean navi-
cation by steamers was solved, the difhcuity when
presented itself was the carrying sufficient guam
tity of fuel for long voyages. Hence the opinion
that armed steamships are not likely to supersede
other vessels but will be used chiefly as auxiiaries
Great Britain has, to great extent, so far as our
coast is concerned, overcome this difficulty; and al
though few of her steamers can carry fuel for more
than Is or 80 days this objection is obvated by the
formation Of large depots of coal at Bermuda and
other places.
Some idea may be formed Of the extent Of her
preparations by the following

EVANS.
Where at its mouth the Tagus laves
The ocean with its entering waves,
Prisoner of love, the Triton groans,
His grotto echoes to his means,
With coral decked, in sea weed dressed,
Down his long beard, and hairy breast,
The boiling tears unceasing flow,
Sad offspring of his ceaseless woe.
Leila the nymph produced his care,
Leila the nymph, disdainful fair,
Residing in neighbering grove,
He saw her through Il meadow rove.
Though cruel from his love she flies,
His fierce heart yielded to her eyes,
He leaves the bosom Of the deep,
Repining hangs along the steep
Complaining TO the laughing fair,
His amorous clamors fill the air,
Unpitied still, devoid of rest,
Long sorrows fill his ancient breast.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON-THE COURSE
OF THE PRESIDENT.

Congress has been in session upwards Of four
months, and little or no public business has been ac-
complished We not surprised at this The
situation of parties, the relations which they bear
towards each other and towards the Executive De-
partment of the Government, have never led us to
suppose that much harmony concert of action could
exist. The manner in which the extra session was
brought to close and the breaking up of the cabinet
formed by Gen. Har ison, was the precursor of the
long train of disastrous events which have follow
