Pope who, he thought, must have contemplated
such a scene as thiS:-
Lo earth receives him from the bending skies;
Sink down ye mountains, and ye valleys rise
With heads declined, ye ccdsrs homage pay;
Be smooth, ye rocks ye rapid floods give way.
The Savior comes by ancient bards foretoldi
Hear him. ye deaf! and all ye blind behold
He from thick Aims shall purge the visual ray;
And on the sightless ey eball pour the day
'ris he the obstruoied paths ofground shall clear
And bid new music charm the unfolding car.
The dumb shall sing, the lame his crutch iorego
And leap exung like the bounding
No sigh, no murmur, the wide world shall hear;
From every face he wipes off every tear.
In adamantine chains shall death be bound,
And heli's grim tyrant feel the eternal wound,

Letter from the President.
To the Governor Of the State Of Rhode Island.
ctfLr WASHINGTON CITY, May I, 1872.
SIR-Your letter Of the 4th instant, transmitting
Resolutions OF the Legisl ature of Rhode Island, in
forming me that there existed in that State "certan
lawless assembages of portion of the people" for
the purpose of subverng the laws and overthrowing
the existing Government, and calling upon the Exc
cutve " forthwith to nterpose the power and autho-
rlty OF the United States to suppress such insurrec
tionary and lawess assemblages, and to support the
existing government and laws, and protect the State
from domestic Violence was handed me .yester-
day, by Messrs Randolph and Potter.
have to inform your Excelency in reply, that
my opinions to the duties OF this Government to
protect the State of Rhode Island against domestic
violence, remain unchanged. Yet, from informa-
ton received by the Executive since your dispatches
assemblages to which reference is made, has already
dispersed, and that the danger of domestic violence
IS hourly diminishing, if i has not wholly disap-
any time TO believe, that violence would be resored
to, or an exigency arise, which the unaded power of
the State could not meet; especially as have from
well others associated with yourself in the admin
lstratlon OF the government, would exhibit tenn
per OF Cancellation as well as of energy and deci-
sion To the insurgents themselves it ought to be
obvious, when the excitement of the moment shall
have passed away, that changes achieved by regu-
lar, and, II necessary, repeated appeals to the con-
stltuted authorities, in a country much under |
the influence OF public opinion, and by recourse to
argument and remonstrance, are more likely to
ensure lasting blessings than those accomplished
by violence and boodshed on one day, and liable
10 overthrow by similar agents on another freely
confess that should experience great reluctance in
employing military power Of this Government
against any portion of the people but, however
painful the duty have to assure your Excellency,
that II resistance Is made to the execution of the
laws of Rhode Island, by such force the cip posse
shall be unable to overcome, it will be the duty of
this Government to enforce the constitutional guar
antec-a guarantee given and adopted mutually by
all the original States, of which number Rhode
Island was one, and which, in the same way, has
been given and adopted by each of the States since
admitted into the Union. And if an exigencv of
lawless violence shall actually arise the Executive
Government of the United States on the application
of your Exccllency, under the authority of the Re-
solutions of the Legislature already submitted will
stand ready 10 succor the authorities of the State in
their efforts TO maintain due respect for the laws
l sincerely hope, however, that no such exigency
may occur, and that every citizen of Rhode Island
will manifest his love of peace and good order by
submitting to the laws, and seeking redress of
grievances by other means than intestine commo.

Il tender to your Excelency assurances of my
distinguished consideration.
