The Rhode Island Resol utions.
Toe following resolutions were adopted
by the late Democratic Convention of
be remembered nominated Gov. Sprague,
and he was re-elected without oppositiou:
. _ Resolved, That the Democracy of Rhode
. Island stand to-day upon their ancient piat
. form; that they are for the country and
nothing less than the country—for the Un
ion and the Coustitution, without conditions
or bigher law reservations—for peace with
. all men and all nations, when it eau be
. honorably secured or preserved, and fo:
war wheo peace is no longer consistent
with national dignity or the preservation
of the people's just rigbts—for a striet construction of the Constitution of the country,
and a eacred regard, at all t.mes and onder
all circumstances, by ruler as well as pee
ple, by servante as well as citizens, for all
its guarantees and provisiousfor the preservation of the freedom of speech and the
liberty of the press—for an bovest and economical administration of the Goverument,
the faitbful guardiansbip of the public cred:
it, and the prompt puvishinent of treasory
. Plunderers; and against all encroachments
}upou State or individual rights—ayainst
. the irresponsible exercise of public servants
. of power not delegated in the Constitution
against oppression of every description
against sectioualism ju all ite aspecta—
. —against underground railroads and John
. Brown raids—and finally and especially,
against all attempts by the Federal Gov
erument tu subjugate States ur divest pow. ers or privileges which they bave hereto
fore enjoyed,
Resolved, That the eo-called Right of Se
cession Claimed by many politiciuus aod citizens of States now in arms against our
Federal Government, is inconsisteut with
all government, and a denial of the funda
mental principle of all Democratic Repab
lice, It is just as faise to day as it was ou
ly a few years or mouths ago, when it was
claimed by Northern Abolitionists, and at
least one Northern Legislature, and should
be condemued aud opposed by ail good
meu, at all times, as tending to the abroga; War. And denying the right of Secession,
. Federal authority, and the attempt to over.
throw, by a resort to force, the best Govbotb unreasonable and criminal, and inde
. fensible violation of all the pledges which
. citizeuship implies, and such an outrage
. against humanity and civilization as even
. the aggressions aud menaces of Nortbero
. ful warfare upon Southera institutions,caanot justify or palliate,
Resolved, That while this civil war continues, it is our duty and the duty of all
loyal citizens to render to the Government
. acheerful and earvest support; to stand by
. it in the enforcement of all constitutional
meatures tending to the suppressiou of urm. ed rebellion; to give its officers. so far as
true to the trusts reposed iv them, the aid
avd comfort which may be derived from
our moral inflaence aud physical resources.
And thus we extend to those citizens of our
and otber States who have responded to the
call of the Government for that protection
which arms alone cao give, our hearty
commendation aod warmest sympathies,
We congratulate them apon the recent
brilliant victories which their valor has
achieved, and beepeak for them when their
work shall bave been accomplished and
their purpose consumated in the restoration
of the Union, the warm gratitude of all
. true patriots,
Resolved, That the effort now being
. made to divert this war from ite origina!

and Congress seven moaths ago—the maintenance of the Federal Constitution aud the
preservation of the Union's integrity—and

we mean no warfare upon their rights and
are actuated by bu spirit of revenge; to
disavow, in the language of Governor
Sprague, “any other wish than that of
bringing together these new belligerens
States, without the loss to any of them of a
single right or privilege which it heretofore
enjoyed;” to show, by our acts as well as
our professions, that our whole purpose is
to preserve our Government just as it came
to us from the bands of our fathers—to re.
gard all the guarantees of the Constitution,
whether to States or to the people of the
States—and to become once more a power

is the duty of the Vemocratic party, not only to preserve iis distinctive organization,
bat to demonstrate by bonorable and patrioie measures, both its determination and
its power to withstand and render barmless
the assaults of Northern sectionalists upon
coustitutional liberty.
Gey. PukLps.—A Ship Island correspondent notices some of the peculiarities of
Geo, Phelps, the autbor of a school boy essay ov slavery, called a proclamation:
General Phelps te a character, He is perfeetly democratic ia his habite, Mauy a
culonel aud even captain would do well to
follow bis simplicity of style, He lives in
# common tent, whieh is pitched close b
the sidewalk, with notaing to distingush it
but a sentinel who paves before it during
ouly the day time. Close by is what I eupposed for some time to bea traveling office.
He does not have a bed, but takes his blanket aud sleeps ov the floor, His food is common soldier's fare One of our lieutenants
heard him the otber day tell what a pice
dish of rice and moiasses he had for his
tupper the uight before. He dresses with
great plainvess, bas but one servant, and
does not even keep a borse, He takes only
his monthly pay from the Goveroment, and
all bis allowances he torus into the treasury, He says that extravagance is rulning
the Government, and be will got be a party
to it, Every officer be bolds vo a strict account, especially the quartermasters. No
oue can do anything that be does not bave
an oversight of. He has made the Zouaves
doff their showy trappings and don the regulation uniform, He puts the officers
through in great shape, and does vot hesitale to blow them up on parade when they
deserve it, To the men he is very kind and
lenient, and is mach beloved by them all.
He has a rich Yankee drawl in bis voice
which it makes one laugh to hear, This
model general honored me with a brief
speech on parade the otherday, to wit:
“Sergeant, turn about and stand perfectly
Don’t budge an inch.”
Starvation iv Vinainuu.—A Baltimore
. Abolitivniets, during thirty years of venge. dispatch of May 234, feys,
Surgical and Mechanical Dentists. . Two intelligent citizens from Petersburg
who fled that city to avoid the conseription,
arrived at Fortress Monroe to-day and lefi
immediately tor McClellan’s headquarters,
. for whom they have some iuformatiog
which has not beea made public, They rep
resent the condition of affairs at Petersburg
vud the surrouuding country in a most deplorable condition, The suffering of the
people seem almost beyond endurance
The scarcity of provisens is so great that
everything is eeized for the army, and even
the soldiers have been ou half rations for «
week, with no prospect of even this supply
continuing any great length of time. They
represent the rebel army, or a great por.
tion of it, demoralized and dispirited te
such an extent that they are only held to
gether by the most rigorous appliances of
military law. The work of conscriptios,
however, is progressing. The roads te
Richmood are thronged with unarmed men,
old and young, being driven along under
strong armed guards, They represent that
no people in modern times have euffered
more than tbe people of Virginia are now
suffering, every housebold being in mouraing, and goud prospect of approaching fam
ine.
SUFFERING IN InELAND.—The Galway Viaspeaking of the prevailing distress,
“That there is nowa wite spread
famine no one will be found audacious
enough to deny, From every part of the
country the ory reaches us that a sad ca
yrs ges There
is Ho gainwaying the fact. Itis fearful to
contemplate the sad ordeal that ie before
our poor people, If they had only to com
tend against the failure of the potato crop
their case would be melancholy enough, but
the want of fael adds considerably to thei:
hardships.’’ The Galway Express adds to
the above: “The destitation throughout
and Southwest of Ireland seems to
of the most melancholy description ia
ant of emplo
ment, want of food, and want of fuel have
left the population entirely dependent upos
physical sympathy.” Wang '
