nr5 IL ia an unexampled defeat Nh

% It's an unexamPled defeat that
the Wings have suffered, and yet if n
few IN this city who voted against their
party out Of petty spite, and under mo-
meniary impulse had not sacrificed their
principles 10 their bitterness, 1t would
have been an unexampled victory
Tie change Of n hundred Wing votes
lost us the thirteen delegates from this
city, and lis indirect influence will
doubtless lose us others.
This illustrates most s,rkingly the
value Of single vote, so often dweIt
upon by the newspaIe Iers, on the eve Of
every election. - Proc. Journal.

To the Electors Of Newport in Town
Meeting assembled, April g. 1853.
The Committee appointed at the last
Town Meeting. TO consider the eXpedi.
ency OF making some provision for the
better safety and convenience Of the
Town Records, and to report snch
measures as they may deem il exI edert
for the Town to adopt, have considered
the subject entrusted to them, and beg
leave respectfully TO Report
That in our opinion the present Town
Clerks Office is wholly inadequate TO
the purpose for which it is used, being
too small, inconveniently arranged, and
altogether unsafe as TO danger Of fire
and other casualties.
That our Record Office is yearly in
creasing in importance, and that the
public safety and convenience require
imm .dia,e and prompt action in this
emergency.
Your Committee are further o! opin-
ion that convenient and fire-prooi
building for Town Clerk and Prob'te
Offices, and offices for Assessors and
Collector OF Taxes and Town Treasu-
rer should be the property OF the Town,
and that the Brick Market which
now produces gross rent oil abo' {
$l20, only, should be SO altered and ar.
ranged as 10 be made convenient aud
safe Tor these purposes, which by AN
estimate by us made, will not exceed III
