THE Coon CAUSE.-THE Richmond
Compiler says -" For weeks past, there
has been in progress in this city Rel.
gious Revival that has embraced nearly
all the Churches, and under the influence
of which great numbers OF persons have
made a profession Of Religion. This
movement of the public mind, so interest
ing 10 the religious community, has at
tracted hitler many eminent Ministers OF
the Gospel, whose eloquence and jealous
efforts have given increased impetus to
the movement Of the day. So deeply has
it engaged the attention and feelings OF
the different congregations, that the sane.
tuary has been, as il were, kept always
open. The sacred desk has been occu-
pied day after day, and night after night /;
and the pews have been with like regular.
ity well filed with attentive audiences.
A revival like this is one of the most re-
markable, and to the irreligious, one OF
the most unaccountable Of moral phenom-
ena."

DEMoCRATIc AFFECTION FOR THE Ap.

new organization in the political hemis-

unsettled, and not unirequently tremulous-
ly turned towards Captain Tyler--indec d
the editor OF the MadisonaE often ex-
pressed himself Us though he thought it
fixed towards the White House. But it
appears that after dancing for some time
between several points North and the
"Wes; end" il has suddenly settled down
due North. The following signs are put
together By the Alexandra Gazette.
The Globe makes the following decla.
ration: 1.-THE Government of the Union
never approached, under any administra-
tion, the DEGRADATION which seem emf

The Globe also publishes in advance,
an extract from forthcoming speech OF
of Mr.. Buchanan, in which that Senator
declares that the present Administration
is attempting to consolidate all political
power in the federal government and 10
destroy the rights of the states.
Mr.. Benton, it is well known, declares
that thus administration is the weakest and
the meanest the country has ever had.

RHODE ISLAND.
WASHINGTON, Nav Is, 1912.

II will be interesting to our readers TO
know that the Rhode Island qucstion came
up in the Senate yesterday, another at
tempt by Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, to back the
insurgent party, by resolution, which
he proposed, accompanied by violent
and infammatory speech, denying the
right of the General Government to inter.
fere to suppress the insurrection against
the existing Government Of Rhode Island,
which he denounced as not being republic
can, SC. Every friend Of the interests
aud fame Of Rhode Island must have re-
loiced in the occasion which thus called
up AIR. Simmons, one Of the Senators from
that State, in an off-hand speech n reply
not exceeded either in power or pathos
by any ever delivered IN that body. 1t
was glorious speech! Its effect was
visible on every countenance. and nine-
tenths of the Senators and auditors pre-
sent would have loudly cheered it, if pro-
priety had permitted il. Well did he de-
fend the gallant lit,lo State. which, under
this slsndered Charter Constitution OF
hers, entered into the first Confederation,
aud afterwards into the Union; contribu
ted freely her blood by land and sea in the
War Of Independence and N the wars
which followed it; whose Greens on the
land and Perrys on the seas have contri.
buted their full portion to the national de-
fence and the national glory, &C. wind

just eulogy on the principles OF civil and

hundred years ago, engrafted in that old
Charter Of Rhode Island, and have from
that beginning branched out and spread
wide their fruit over all the world VI civ
iliza;ion and freedom.
The debate did not go further, being
out Of order from the beginning but, a
motion having been made to print the re-
solutions, which motion MIR. Critenden
promptly declared his intention TO oppose,
the motion was laid over till tod > and
to day a debate may, we presume, be ex.
pected on the subject.
