.Mr. litti\\w’B
PUOVII EXCE, R. I.
Mr. Chairman : 1 would ask il person*
not posseting one hundred and tidily l>u
dollars in soil, arc permitted to address ’hi»
meeting. If so, 1 wish to make a few rc
ranks. This community seem* to ba di
vided into two parties. N d Jackson me
and Clay men, not M isons and Auti-M >
sons, but Aristocracy and Democracy. Ihe
term Aristocracy denotes a privileged class
Although the Oo tslituiiun ul the United
Slates'acknowledges no he editary right,
yet there exis’s among us a class well tie
serving the name ol Aristocrats. 1 wd
menti m some of their privileges, They
claim the right of sneering at any, and ail
the rftVls made by the working men to im
prove iheir condition.
Have we not Sir, hen contending foil
m ruths to obtain die acknowledgment > t|
and u > lnubted*right, to wit : I'ne ng.ii
gel’ our • wii time in such quantities as we
deem expedient ? Have we not met wi h
cornu ucly anti rop'oach Irom the would-b:
Imds. Siy 'h’y “ these wot kies” can do,

Government r' ’ Bit we would say to tiiem,

vemmeilt get this power which they havej
gi y .0, and which you to misuse ? D.d
it not come from the people ? And the peo
ple can, ami will t..ko it from government
if th manufacturer continue his oppressive
measures. Have we not, Sir, while con
tending o the education ot the rising ge
neration, and for our own improvement,
seen tnc smile of contempt and the frown
of vengeance, ligh'ing up and darkening;
the c ran nance of our opptessoia. Sit,!
this aristocracy cf wealth claims the righl|
to shu up in the Cotton Mill the almost tn-j
fant child for 13 or 14 hours per diem, wiih
only 2) or 30 minutes lor each meal, that)
is, breakfast and dinner, thereby depriving'
them of Ihe best of all earthly go id, an edu
cation. If the M nuficlunr will put out!
our mental eyes, by keeping us grinding in
their prison houses, and then intend to hnng
us out to mike sp rt for the Bliillistiiies,
wo hope they will lead us to the pillars ol
the Temple, of their god, Dagon that we
may bow ourselves for tho last time, and
with one mighty elfitrl, fumble the vist fa
bic of ihe American System, falsely so
called, m one wide and desolate tuiti, ra
ther thin soli wit to om oppressors. Sir
the dominant potty in this 'own arc drive g
from their nr; k- many, very many m.-ti, by
their ovotbearing conduct, and the opposi

The steam boat Herald, Captain F!eish
man, in seventy-four hours from St. Louis
—a most extraordinary quick passage—
' brings us a proclamation from tho Governor
; »l Illinois io the citizens of that State, from
which it appears, that n bloody and success
• ful attack has been made by the hostile In
' dians up "i a detachment of mounted volun
-1 leers. We learn, by a private letter, that
1 fifty-two of the volunteers were killed, a
■ winng whom were Co). Crane, Col. Thomas,
Mnj or Morgan, and Capt. Bailey.
l i At the dare of the last accounts, Gen. At

“|situa lou —lle had sent out several ex

, It becomes my duty again'to call on you
for your services in defence of y.mr coun
try. The Slate is not only invaded by the
a| hostile Indians, but many of vour citizens
• | have been in battle. A detachment of Ihe
‘ mounted volunteers, commanded by Major
l|Stillman, ot about 275 in number, were ove.r-
Jipoweted by the hostile Indians on Syca
! more Creek, distant from this place about
.thirty mi'es, and a considerable number of
I thrm killed. This is an act of hostility
tj whi h cannot be misconstrued.
I am of opinion that the Poltawatamies
i and Winnebagoes have joined the Sacks and
F. xes t and a'l m;y be considered as waw
icg war agaimt the United Stales,
To subdue these Indians and drive them
| out of the Stale, it will require a force of at
j east two thousand mounted volunteers
mote, in addition to the troops all sady in

I have made (he necessary requisitions

A ‘ciions tint occurred at Montreal on
Monday 21st, ult. It grew o«i of an e'ec
tion canvass in one of lie Wards, v.l,icl\
commenced on Thursday previous, and on
Saturday morning was adjoinnod over t*»
Monday, ostensibly on account of the lain,
but really on account of the riotous conduct
;of them b. The opposing candidates *,vi :n
Mr Tracy, an “ultra liberal,” (withal A
newspaper Editor,) and a Mr. Bagg. A?
| (he time of the adjournment each had re>
ceived 680 votes. The siqttel of the Dfj
ry we subjoin, in the words of the Canadian
Record,
Monday Evening, 5 o’clock.
Awful effects resulting from the riotous
conduct of the mob—four men shot —set>-
eral wounded.
With the most painful feelings we have
; to state that from the riotous conduct mani
fes'ed by the lower of the Canadians and
1 1 i-h partisans on Saturday, the Poll was
adj mrned to this day, when the Magistral
cy and a large b uly of the Constables very
•properly attended. We have been inform
ed that throughout the day the most evident
syn p. oms of increasing insubordination and,
desire for riot was manifested, more espe
cial!'/ when any of those persons favorable
of Mr. Bigg presented themselves. To
wards evening the Constables were beaten
from their posls, and many of them most
scandalously ill-treated. It was at length
found necessary to order out the Military,
who promptly, attended, under the com
mand'of Col. M Itrlosh.
The Rio Act was then read. Orr our
arrival at the French square, v/e found a
i large number of pet sons collected, and eve
ry now anti then some person or other as
saulted and knocked down by (he "bullies”
jin attendance. On the pell closing for tha
day another indiscriminate attack was made
lon the Cons' ablest—and also ns we have
' been informed, upon Mr. Bugg himself—
who, if we are correct,.was shamefully mis
• used, as well as several others whom we ob
served cut and mangled very much. At
' leng'hthe Mi iiaiJ were called on to Oh-’
'ipe »e the mob—who were seen approaching
= towards the jl.ee were they were held in
: readiness shou iug and bellowing in tha
1 most, inlurii ed manner. Ou the approach
of the Military the in b fled down Sts
Jon s sheet, the Military taking the sama
di ociion, headed by their c< minandiog of
-5 ficer, Col. M. Aiiout this time the stones
•jegtiin began to fly from the mob in the mosS
dangerous manner, and as that part of tha
town has been recently macadamized, tha
i moo hud a plentiful supply of s.ones reader ;
- ft hand, which we lament to say,tiny useii
■ with di fbl diXtcrity. Col. M. ami seve
ral of tiie other officers and men were struck,
