Mr. Editor—My object in sending you for insertion, in the columns of the Republican Herald, my communication of the 3d inst. was to call the attention of the Republican party in this State, to the Convention that was then to be holden in the State House in Providence, on the 15th, for the purpose of selecting candidates to be recommended to the citizens of this State, for State officers the ensuing year; and I then thought it a very proper time to remind that party of the very confused condition they were in, and hoped that an effort would be made to rescue it from its thraldom, and to place it upon the permanent basis on which it rested up to 1821. In the course of my remarks, I asserted that the broken state of the party was owing to the duplicity of the man, who holds the office of President of the United States, and to his intrigues and corruption; and I also stated that he is now, and always has been, a noted FEDERALIST; and these statements I am able to substantiate to the satisfaction of every candid and intelligent mind. By your remarks in the Herald of Saturday last, it seems that the Editor of a Warren paper had attacked me, for accusing Mr. Adams of Federalism, and "comes out with the marvellous news, that Mr. Adams is not a Federalist." Now as regards the Warren paper or its Editor, I had never heard of either previous to last Saturday: but notwithstanding, if the article in question, attacking me, ever falls under my eye, and appears at all plausible, I will teach that Editor, that such impositions will not go down with the yeomanry of Rhode Island.

Mr. Editor
Main Argument
the republican party's confusion stems from president adams' duplicity, intrigues, corruption, and lifelong federalism, which the writer aims to substantiate; he dismisses critics from a warren paper and vows to counter their attacks on rhode island's yeomanry.
