Suffrage Convention ct Rhode Island met at Prov
dence, and counted the votes given for the Const-
tuition which framed for the State by that Con-
venton, a. substitute for the Royal Charter under
which the government as existed. The votes
amounted to nearly Ii 600, large majority of those
over Il years OF aye. The convention accordingly
adopted the following resolutions
whereas, 1t satisfactorily appears that the cit-
zens OF this State n their Original and en-
pacity, have ratified and adopted said constitution by
large majority and the viii the people thus dec-
sively made known, ought to be implicitly obeycd,
and faithfully executed; and we do therefore
Resolve and Declare, That SAID Constituti on
rghtiuiy ought to be and is the paramount law and
Constitution Of the State Of Rhode Island and Prov.
dence Plantations.
And we do further Resolve and Declare for our
selves and IN behalf the people whom we represent,
that VIII establish such constitution, and sustain
and defend the same by all necessary means.
The Convention directed the proclamation to be
published, and that delegates be chosen to assemble

A DIG IN THE VITALS.

The Richmond Enquirer digs the pipe-layers' or
gan, with his keen weapon, as follows;
"The Baltimore Patriot is decent enough to ask
us what editor it was who forgave President Jackson
for denouncing him as " the greatest scoundrel in
America ?" We know not--certanly II was not the
editor of the Enquirer. Many years ago when the
Wing presses started such libel, we investigated
the story through a friend at Washington, who was
the intimate friend of General Jackson-and, upon
his authorized statement, we then nailed the whole
story to the counter as a lalsehood. Will the editor

The difference between President Tyler and the

this-Congress demands that Tariff and Distribution
GO together that while the Government collects

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

The following letter written to committee of
gentlemen in North Carolina in answer TO an inquiry
referring to statement eby DR.. Hill, will be
below. The President need scarcely reiterate,
attempt to prove the consistency of his opposition
to United States bank for that familiar to the
people is the inconsistency of the present idol of
the Federal party. But we like to see thrust into the
face of the Federaliss, testimony and circumstances
like those referred to in the subjoned letter. Here
the President not only viudicaes his own character
for consistency but he exposes the reachery and by
pocrisy of those who used his to purpose, only
for his well-known aversion to this and other
situtional and anti-republican measures, and who
are now striving to excite prejudice against that OFF,
Ger, by gross misrepresentation and fasehood. In
this communication the President also efiectually re-
flutes the charge preferred against him of not acting
on this question as General Harrison would have
acted, had he lived The late President, by his acts
as well his declarations, showed that his course
would not have differed in the least from that of his
successor And all the hopes that the bankites could
have had from his administration are, that unlike Mr..
Tyler, he could have been induced to succomb to the
dictation opportunities of Henry Clay, and the
supple Charles. But to the letter
Here the Budget copies the letter, which we
are glad to see going the rounds very generally !

The yergennes ycrmonter speaking of President
Tyler's veto says
"There is a great deal of nonsense uttered and
printed about the Presidents disregarding the opini-
ons and wishes of Congress. Ths Constitution makes
him part of the Legislative Department, IF the law
making power, and by his oath of office he is as
much obliged to be guided by his own honest convic-
tons of duty in giving refusing his assent to a BILL
as any member OF Congress in Voting upon it, He is
to act independently for corrupt disregard of his
duty, he is liable to impeachment and by the prov-
sons of the Constitution either House might with as
much propriey be called upon to submit to his opin-
on as he to theirs.r

From the st. Laurence IN. T. Republican.

The Wing majority in Congress seem determined
to sacrifice every thing to their desire to head Captain
Tyler. They have spent more time at Washington,
and drawn more money as wages from the public
Treasury since the election of 1910, than any Con-
gress has done in the time since the foun-
dation of the Government; and they have done no.
thing, literally nothing for the public good. What
wise useful law have they enacted' not one. What
practical or beneficial reform have they accomplish
ed none, unless the removal of some three thousand
democrats and the appointment to office of the same
number of federal wings should be regarded as re-
form if so, it is reform that has not had any in
huence in making the times better, for the markets
have not improved-labor does not find higher wages
nor more certain employment than formerly. The
public credit is snking-Siate debts repudiated
and individual debts are discharged by bankrupt
act-money s,scarce-commerce and manufactures
languish, and agriculture finds no ready market for
its productions-ye Congress, neglectu of the pub
lie interests is spending all its time in political brawls
and party schemng. The wing majority in Congress
rules with a rigorous sway and bends every thing to
the two great objects of the wing politicians-the
one the putting down of President Tyler; the other,
the putting up Of Henry Clay the next President.

The United States Gazette asks if Mr.. Tyler
cepted nomination from the Wings, when he knew
he was opposed to the principles of the Wings
The true answer to this question is, that the Wings,
for the sake of getting the of Mr. Tyler, and
those that agreed with him in principle, publicly
abandoned all principles party except the single
oneif principle it may be called-df ." a change of
rulers
The only acknowledged Wing principle having
been change" and Mr.. Tyler not having been OPP
posed to a change, Of not opposed to the
avowed principles of the Wing party. If they had
principles which they attempt to conceal, it would
have been dishonorable in Mr.. Tyler TO be party to
this conceament, and to have participated in asking
the votes of Democrats and States-rght men, under
a false pretence, and with view to betray them
1t is for refusing to play the rogue, for acting the
honest man, for adherng TO the public professions
under which he elected, that John Tyler is now
hunted down by the Wings.
