DrThe editor Of the Prov,denc
Post cxpends great deal Of righteous
Indignation upon the Journal and News,
in consequence Of the ground which
these papers have taken in regard to
the residence OF Mr.. Lawrence, We
hope that the editor of the Post will
keep cool it appears to US that he would
not be quite so indignant if he was not
satisfied that the ground which we have
taken was well-iounded. He can talk
about meanness as much as he pleases;
the question of the residence of Mr..
Lawrence is n politi' al one entirely, and
as such We treat il. We Lave al
ready avowed our personal friendship
and respect for Mr.. Lawrence but, at
the same time, as "A political opponent of
that gentleman, and rs the editor of one
Of the Wing organs in the Stale, we
shall boldly and iearessly meet lhis
question on fair political grounds. We
do not think that Mr.. Lawrence has &C.
quired legal residence in Rhode Is
land and if we can satisfy the Board
of Canvasscrs and the people, of
this fact. we shall most certainly do 40
The generosity, the magnanimity and
the fairness olihe Post is most aston

tt We hear from Newport that many
Of the Wings Of that town are disgust
ed with the effort that has been made
in the newspapers to drive Mr.. Law
renee from the Democratic ticket, on
and that not few Of them will show
,heir scorn Of such litlleness when they
shall have opportunity. We shall own
ourselves much disappointed, if this lit
t!eness Is not properly rebuked by the
people of Newport, without regard to
party opinion and ieclings.-Pror. Post
Whoever gave the editor Of the Post
the above information either wilfully de-
cieved him, or else the correspondent
was exceedingly verdant in regard 10
public opinion in this town. There is
no, member Of the Wing party VIII,
wishes TO deprive Mr.. Lawrence Of any
Of the rights Of citizenship, if he has
gained legal residence in this town;
on the other hand, there is not Whig
who will not OF pose his. name being
placed on the Voting List, if it can bs
shown that Mr.. Lawrence has NOT gain
ed such residence. The editor OF the
Post manifests his ignorance of the char
acter of the Wings OF Newport when he
makes such fimp0y assertion IA hs
has in the above article, about their re-
setting the efforts TO prevent Mr.. Law
renee from being eligible 10. the. Office
Of Lieut. Governor. The truth Of the
matter is just this the Locoiocos were
so elatcd at the idea Of getting a gentle
man of Mr.. Lawrence's respectability,
talents and accomplishments into their
ranks, in this vicinity, that they became
wild with joy and without stopping TO
reflect upon the matter, or TO ascertain
whether Mr.. Lawrence had actually ac-
quired legal residence here, icy
manifested their frantic JOY, and gave
him evidence Of their pure and una.
duterated affection for him, by honor
ing him with the nomination Of Lieut..
Governor. The editor of the Post sees
the trouble, and fully comprehends the
dilemma in which his party is placed
but he declines, with much assumed
dignity, to discuss this question, and
valiantly talks about the smallness Of
the act of attempting TO disfrdnchise
Mr.. Lawrence ! He vents his indig-
nant spleen upon the Journal and News,
in no measured terms however, we
rather think that both papers will sur
vive the discharge of his Infantry. Wa
will give the Post some more stubborn
facts, in a few days.

delicate white color, and then roscatc

on the cheek Of beauty. Occasionally il
shot up rays at different points, and it
sometimes ascended nearly as high AS
the North Star. The Aurora Borcais

orbits. and the constellation of Gemini
