The EGoTisM OF MATRIMoNY.-Amonr the
marriage notices in our paper this morning. will
oetound aprotest of recently married pair against
the laws respecting the relations of husband and
wife, If we know anything of the laws of Mass
achusetts. these people are making themselves
unnecessarily miserable over imaginary wrongs /;
at any-rate, they display most woIul ignt rance
of the statutes of which they complain, as the
following extracts will show.
General Laos Of Massachusctts Chapter "a.

IL little fragment of the time that is wasted by
these fanatica GROWERS against existing laws, was

BORDER RUFFIANIsM IN RHODE Island
A very enthusiastic Fremont meeting came off in
Newport, Aug. 2Sth. The delegation from Provi-
dence numbered four hundred, ard that from Fall
River five hundred. The latter were accompanied
by glee club, band of music and military COM
pany, every man of which is for Fremont The
Providence Journal appends to its notice of this
meeting an account of most disgraceful attack
on these delegations by some rutfians in Newport
who met them with groans, and insults, and shouts
cheering for Fillmore, and bawling out opprobri.
Gus epithets, calling the strangers "Attleborough
peddlers," ''fTeedom shriekers, " "woolly heads,''
and denying their right to come to New
port. On their return they assaulted the Ere
mont men with eggs stones and other missiles -
Capt. Cole, the commander of the company, was
knocked down by stone, while standing on the
wharf at the steamer, and was taken on board in
sensible 1t was with great difficulty that the
men of his command could be prevented from
going on shore to ayenge his injuries The Jour
naI,in closing the account of this outrage, makes
the following just comments:
Freedom of speech has long since ceased
to be the right of an American citizen in any
portion of the Union south OF Mason and
Dixon's line, but we did not suppose that any
where in New England, men wonld be ston.
ed for their political opinions; still less did
we think it could be done in Rhode Island
We are sure that the respectable citizens of
Newport, Of all parties, will JOIN in condemn
ing this outrage, so dsgraceful to the charac
ter of the State, and so damaging to the par
ties in whose behalf it is done. 1t shows the
| debasing effect which the influx of summer
visitors has upon that portion OF the communi-
ty whs live by attending to the personal
wants and pleasures of strangers; for doubt
less these outrages were perpetrated by those
who black the boots, and hold the horses and
pick up the quarters of the Southern visitors,
and who think that in this way they can best
commend them selves to those upon whose
patronage they live. In no part Of the State
or the country are there more refined. intell-
gent, and cultivated people than in Newport :;
the old inhabitants of the city have long been
distinguished by all the qualities that grace
society and they win deeply feel and resent,
to whatever party they belong, this insult and
outrage upon peaceful visitors"
