far from feeling any unwillingness to express
IN opinion upon this subject, as one Of the
sworn conservators Of The peace, feel it 10
be duty. Nor IN doing so do feel that
am improperly anticipating any question that
can come judicialy before me under any cir
cunslances. For 1t is essentially question
of allegiance, which every individual mnsl

he discharge of any official duty. !Ie, as a
private citizen, must come to n determination
whether he will swear 10 support the legal or
the illegal Constitution, before he can accept
an Office. or perform any net under either
My opinion of the lllegal,y of the so called
Peoples Constitution, remains unchanged in
any particular, and every wish Of my heart is

dopted the Constitution of the United States.
and which, under God, has come down 10 us
IN nnlmpared inheritance. to which The good
people Of this State will still adhere. The
heart Of every true Rhode Island man must

The Con stitutiOIl.

The FARMERS Of our State, in an
especial manner, should bear in re-
membrance, that failure on the part
of the people to adopt the Constitution
now presented to them, will forever
after subject them, in all popular elec-
tons, to the mercy of foreigners, large
majority Of whom come among us with
no feelings Of regard for the welfare or
the permanency of our Institutions
Think Of this, Farmers ofRhode- Island
and come, one and all, to the ballot box
on the 2lst, 22d and Odd inst. and re-
cord your vote for the legal Consii-
tuition.
