ONE AND ALL!

The Citizens Of NEWPORT and its vi
cinity, friendly to the election Of the
Hon. BYRON DIMAN as Governor, and
Of the gentlemen associated with him in
the Rhode lslard Prox, are respectfully
reminded, that their meeting, in sup
port of that ticket, stands adjourned to
THIS EVENING, at o'clock, on the
lower f1oor of the State House. Inter-
esting business will come before the
meeting, and report will then be made
by the Nominating Committee Of suia
BILE candidates for Senator and Repre-
sentatives from this town to the General
Assembly. We are gra,iied to state
also, that the meeting, at the request of
many citizens, will be addressed by tho
Hon. JONI WHIPpLE, of Providence
An early and punctual attendance is re-
quested of all citizens friendly TO the
good cause.

the citizens Of Newport, whenever they
choose to undertake il. Let us have
then, on an occasion like this,-so i'm
por,aM To the safety Of the good ship Of
State, in which all have embarked their
dearest earthly hopes and interests, "a
full hearty ,old-iashioned meeting, which
viii sound out, IN tones not be mis,ak-
en, the determination of NEWPORT t.
maintain her old conservative character
and rs Governor ENGs advised US, al
the commencement of the contest, $50
do our duty, and nothing less than ou'
whole duty, to our honored State"
Herald of the times, and Rhode Islander. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1846-1849, 1846-03-31

II is unnecessary, we presume, to call
the attention of our citizens To The notice
at the head Of our editorial column, of
the very important meeting to be held at
the State House, THIS EVENING.
This is the last opportunity, Of which the
friends of Law aud Order in this town
can avail themselves for an interchange
Of sentiment, aud for perfecting their
necessary business arrangements, previ-
Gus to the great struggle OF tomorrow -
This, of itself, would be a sufficient in
ducement, we think, to bring out, in full
ranks, the good men and true Of the Con-
servalive party, who never fail, in this
town n, least, TO rally at the decisive mo-
ment, and when the weight Of their mum
bers and influence is sure to be le, with
irresistible force. In addition TO the
foregoing, there will be n strong a,trac-
tion to our citizens in the character OF
the speaking with which the meeting
will be favored. At the request of many
OF our townsmen, to whom his powers
are familiar, though at much personal
and professional Inconvenience The Hon.
JouN WinrPLE, of Providence, has con-
sented TO address the meeting on the
character of the election and the interests
depending on il. Though not as well
known to many Of us in the political
arena, as in higher forum, Mr.. Whp.
pies great powers as a debaier and rea-
soner are universally conceded and,
on tho present occasion, he brings a
hearty good will 10 the subject, and fund
OF Information to elucida,e il, which his
position at Washington and elsewhere
has enabled hi'n better than any ether
man 10 accumulate. We trust, that
some Of our own citizens, also, will be in
Juced 10 take part in the discussions of
the evening. IT, not as distinguished as
we ought To be for the number Of our
public speakers, and though the practice
OF public speaking is greatly neglected
here, there is no set of men within TIE
range Of our acquaintance, who can
speak more peiiioenily and effectively
on topics Of general public interest than

HERALD AND RHODE-lSLANDER.

Represe natives for the People, at the
shortest notice, Of tho precise calibre,
weight and complexion most agreeable
to the gentlemen patenlees, one Of whom
has patrioticalIy lef, his seat in Con-
gress, at very critical moment, to su-
perntend the working of this extraordi-
nary, if not complex rnachinery.
We have the greatest possible respect
for the ingenuity and modest assurance
of the distinguished inventors, but we
confess we have strong doubts, whether
the good people of Providence will be
entirely Of their opinion as to the quality
Of the article presented to them for ac-
ceptance, or the expediency Of alto
gether giving up their old propose ssions
in favor Of having some sort of control
of the machinery which produces it.
Both the paten,ees, We are told, count
largely on The reputation gained by them
some years ago, for certain excellen,
con,rivanccs introduced by thom into the
present State Constitution for the pre-
veniion OF fraudulent voting. These
were admirable inventions certainly, and
reflect great credit on the sagacity Of
their authors. But the present Genera
tor appears TO he an entirely different
political instrument, aud, as is suspected ,
rather adapted to blow up the Coustitu-
tion than to do il any service.
We repeat, that our impression is, that
the citizens Of Providence will be very
apt 10 think, and act for themselves in
this matter and that these disintercsled d
politicians and patentees will, in all
probability, have their labor for their
pains. X.

For the Herald ofihe Times.

We are now on the eve of tho most impor-
tunt election which has taken place in this
State for the las, twenty FIVE years.-On the
morrow, It is to be decided whether the people
Of Rhode.Isand, long noted for their sound
and conservative principles, shall maintain
their character and dignity, aud vindicate
those rights which they havo ever endeavorcd
to preserve inviolatc.
The people of this State are well aware of
the conduct Of some of its leading men, in
whom the Law and Order party once repos-
ed their confidence and unwavering trust:
these men, as is perfectly well known, have
bartered away the confidence, respect, and es-
tsem of their fellow citizens, for the paltry and
degrading object Of gratifying their unbrided
ambition. They have joined themselves with
the friends Of Dorr, and of course have thrown
their influence into the scale Of our opponents
The coalition was so sudden aud astonishing
that almost every man in the State wHs e!ec
trifed,-So unexpected was this change, that
many did not at first see through its object
But now, the people Of the State are well aware
Of the real designs Of these intriguing gentle
men-they know that they are pledged to Tho
friends of Dorr to secure to him the restoration
Of his pririieges as u citizen ito subver, the
Constitution Of this State, framed by the chief
Of these men, be it remembered, and who was
Paternally called by the people, the father of
their Constituion.-Thc People now see
through and understand u the mysterious
movements Of these men-that they aIo pledg-
ed to remove the Judges OF our Supreme Court,
for the reason that they sat on the bench when
Mr. Dorr was convicted Of Treason--to abolish
the Registry tax, x,-tho written ballot the free
hold qualification for foreigners to re-
pea the militia law.
Bnt among all the treacherous movements
Of the allies, no one of their recourses to infu.
cnce uniavorably the Rhode. Island prox, has
been mor6 pregnant with abuse and slapder,
than that infamous libel upon the character Of
our respected and venerable General Treasu.
rer,SrEpnEN CAuooSE. We appeal to tho ciii.
qens Of Newport, and ask them, if they will
suffer the spotloss integrity of their fellow
townsman TO be blackcncd with impunity, by
such nsinuations' We think they will not.
In conclusion, let US ask,-if the people Of
Rhode.Island can allow themselves to see that
mao restored 10 his prieiicgeS, as a citizen, who
armed himself and lighted the torch Of insur.
rcction throughout this whole State. VIII
the people OF Rhode Island look with indiiler.
encc upon the overthrow of their Constitution,
and their Supreme Court Certainly they will
not. They will rise in their might and show,
that now, as ever, they stand firm to that great
conservative principle, (Which alone can Sc
cure to State its permanent exisience,) LAW

The Duty-tO Vote.

IL the Importance Of aintaining the
Law and Order party in the Govern
mcnt OF this State were rs well under
stood as it ought to be, by our citizens,
we do not believe that any well disposed
person could be found, who had ever
acted with that party, who would on this
occasion withhold from il his vote. II
our citizens did well To turn out en- masse
in 1912, and TO peril life and estate in
support Of the principles they then pro-
Irssed, are those prime pies less dear to
them in 1916, or Of less value in their
estimation rs the basis OF every well or
dcrcd Government and State The
people of Rhode Island, at cost of more
than a hundred thousand dollars Of their
public money, at an immense sacrifice ot
business and profitable employment, and
10 the irreparable injury, in many in
stances, of their domestic peace, thought
it righ, TO put down fraudulent attempt
to impose on them Constitution Of
Government, to which neither in a legal,
nor informal manner, had they given
their assent. Are they willing to throw
away every advantage they gained in
that perilous contes, f? Are they willing
TO see the scenes Of l842, re-enacted at
their fresdcs, aud under circumstances
which must make the triumph Of Law and
Order in the apprehended contest, far
more difficult than that they have just
achieved /? The citizens of this State,
by the blessing Of Providence, are now
protected by a legal Consiituiion-ihe
work of their own hnnds--the result OF
wise and moderate counsels, and of the
exercise Of a liberal and conservative
spirit. The Government under il, is ad-
ministered by men Of their own choice,
and the prosperity Of the State alesls
how well they have fulfilled the trust
you have coniided to them. The people
are most deeply interested in the main
tenance of this state of things, and lei,
them look to it, that it is not wres,ed from
'hom by the arts of ambitious dena-
gogues, anxious only for the profits and
honors Of place. IL they would secure
The blessings they enjoy, under the
present state Of things, let them ac.
efficiently and promptly. Let them 20
like men, and while the plague Of revo-
luton and anarchy may yet be stayed,
lie! them seal its fate by ,esolute per-
formance Of their duty at the polls, a duty
they owe to their families and themselves.
no less than to their native or adopted
State.

eiIectually Whatever is expected from
it. In MiddletowD, our steady cOnserva-
tive neighbor, whose intelligent and hard
working population is AS true as steel in
alt difficult emergencies, we are assured
by our friends, they will maintain, if not
increase materially, their usual ascenden-
cy. In Portsmouth, there will be very
considerable increase Of tho conserva-
live majority. In Tivcr'on, we shall do
as well, or better, than on former occa-
sions and in Little Compton, notwiih-
standing tho immense eXeIlions of Mr..
Simmons to make this u question purely
personal, and thereby to give a direction
in his favor to the votes Of his native
town, we have great confidence, that the
Law and Order members Of the Assem-
bly, will be elected, and that the prox OF
our party will triumph. In jamestown,
from the existence Of family feuds, un-
fortunately of long duration, we have no
prospect Of any change for the better
| New ShoreLam is, of course, subject
of some speculation and interest to all
| who hold the contest in The State to be
doubtful. For ourselves, having nc
fears upon that point, we are willing to
wait for Thursdays boat to make up ouI
Judgment as to the issue.
/ The great turning point, however, in
the contest to which all eyes will be d.
recled, is the election of Senator and
Representatives from the City Of Provi-
dence. We have seen letters of a very
late date from the most reliable sources ia
that city, which make it certain to oar
minds, that the Law and Order Senator
and Representatives will be all chosen by
decided majorities. From the exccllen,
organization of our friends which exists
in the different wards OF the city, and
the fine spirit which prevails there, We
count confidently on 300 ma oriiy for
the Prox, and at least 80 for Senator
and Representatives The last we think
an underraled estimate.
Bristol county can hardly do better
than at the last State election. Our
letters from Warren assure us, that the
nomination of. Throop Child for Genor-
al Treasurer, which was thought to be a
great stroke of policy, that was to carry
confusion and dismay into one Of our
strongest towns, has entirely failed Of its
effect, Warren will maintain its old proud
character, as the banner town in the
Il Conservative ranks.
/ Our information from Kent and Wash
ington, derived mostly from well inform
ed friends in the north part OF the State,
Indicates full vote and favorable result S
in Kent, and better state of things in
Washington than we had been led to
expect
