Where are we Whai b. the p? s.ut
position Of the Wing party in IipI,
Island By what means, and through
whose agency has tie Wing Huy
hcen thrown into the most extra rtlHUy
position which i, now occupies 2 Ttvsr
are grave imterrogator!es which at Il
future time, we shal answer and dir
cuss with IA Freedom which fhall know
| no restraint or reserve save what
TRUTH alone shall impose
lftie aavice which we gave in .u
article published ou the 22d oi Oclub,r
las, Iust previous 10 the then cn'u'r-
session of the Legislature had been + /
lowed true Wing would have been
elected Instead Of the locoioco Charles
\ Il. James.
We repullish below. the article TO
which we have referred us our text for
! subsequent discussion -
C-The General Assembly will con-
vene ut East Greenwich on Tuesday
next. 29th inst, at 10 O'Clock A NJ.
1t is hardly probable that there Will be
much business transacted. at The coming
session, cxceptthe election OF IA Senator
to serve in Congress for SIX years from
the fourth Of March. l,5l. when the
term for which Cen. Greene was elected
will expire The election OF L. >.
Senator is at all times highly important,
and never more so than now. TINS Tact
must be apparent TO every one who
keeps an eye upon the movements OF the
politicians abroad in the country. or even
upon those within the borders ofour own
State. Whenever any pcope shall
voluntarily or ncgIigen'ly surrender the
management OF their public affairs to
professional politicians, that people at
once and by that act, become guilty OF
great offence against civil liberty ana the
purity of sell government But II is not
our purpose, at present. TO write an eN-
tended article on the subject, although
we are not quite sure that il is not our
duty to 90 more tally into the matter
than we at present feel inclined TO,
We have heard, very recently, that
there is a scheme in operation TO post
rome the election OF Senator TO the Jan
uary session and then further It. post
pone ii to the May session. We are
hardly prepared to credit any such ru-
NOR inasmuch, among other reasons, as
we have not seen any lntima'ion OF, or
allusion TO- anything Of the kind, in the
Wing papers, and especially the Prov
iIence Journal Sill, it may all be so
and as no harm can result to any one
from our thus calling the attention Of the
Wing parry to the matter, we do so the
more readily.
Can any Wing member of the Gener-
al Assembly be in favor Of putting the
election OF Senator over TO tn January
session. and from that TO the May ses-
sion =? Why should it be postponed p
WHO are they that are trying to accom-
pl.h this scheme2 What can the peo-
pie and especially the true men Of the
Wing party gain by such manGuvre (!
Nothing, nothing in the world, except
additional elements with which mis-
chievous men, united secretly and openly
with the avowed opponents OF the wing
party may the more successfully increase
the difficulties which selfish and un-
SQUAD men VIII always create in every
party to which they attach themselves,
