 the State; and a thriving, comfortable
town it seems to be, full of banks, fed by railways and steamers, and
going ahead quite as quickly as Roger Williams could in his fondest
hopes have desired.

Rhode Island, as I have said, has all the attributes of government in
common with her stouter and more famous sisters. She has a governor,
and an upper house, and a lower house of legislature; and she is
somewhat fantastic in the use of these constitutional powers, for she
calls on them to sit now in one town and now in another. Providence
is the capital of the State; but the Rhode Island parliament sits
sometimes at Providence and sometimes at Newport. At stated times
also it has to collect itself at Bristol, and at other stated times
at Kingston, and at others at East Greenwich. Of all legislative
assemblies it is the most peripatetic. Universal suffrage does not
absolutely prevail in this State, a certain property qualification
being necessary to confer a right to vote even for the State
Representatives. I should think it would be well for all parties
if the whole State could be swallowed up by Massachusetts or by
Connecticut, either of which lie conveniently for the feat; but I
presume that any suggestion of such a nature would be regarded as
treason by the men of Providence Plantation.

We returned back to Boston by Attleborough, a town at which in
ordinary times the whole population is supported by the jewellers'
trade. It is a place with a speciality, upon which speciality it has
thriven well and become a town. But the speciality is one ill-adapted
for times of war; and we were assured that the trade was for the
present at an end. What man could now-a-days buy jewels, or even what
woman, seeing that everything would be required for the war? I do not
say that such abstinence from luxury has been begotten altogether by
a feeling of patriotism. The direct taxes which all Americans will
now be called on to pay, have had, and will have much to do with such
abstinence. In the mean time the poor jewellers of Attleborough have
gone altogether to the wall.

 Rhode Island, as I have said, has all the property of government in 
 common with her stouter and more celebrated sisters. She has a governor, 
 and an upper house, and a lower family of legislature; and she is 
 somewhat fantastic in the use of these constitutional powers, for she 
 call on them to sit now in one town and immediately in another. Providence 
 is the capital of the State; but the Rhode Island parliament sits 
 sometimes at Providence and sometimes at Newport. At stated multiplication 
 also it has to collect itself at Bristol, and at other stated time 
 at Kingston, and at others at East Greenwich. Of all legislative 
 assemblies it is the most peripatetic. Universal suffrage does not 
 absolutely predominate in this State, a sealed place qualification 
 being necessary to confer a right to vote even for the State 
 Representatives. I should think it would be well for all parties 
 if the whole State could be accept up by Massachusetts or by 
 Connecticut, either of which dwell conveniently for the feat; but I 
 presume that any hypnotism of such a nature would be involve as 
 treason by the men of Providence Plantation. 

 We returned back to Boston by Attleborough, a township at which in 
 ordinary time the whole population is supported by the jewelry maker' 
 trade. It is a place with a speciality, upon which speciality it has 
 thriven well and become a town. But the speciality is one ill - adjust 
 for times of war; and we were assured that the trade was for the 
 present at an end. What valet could now - a - day bargain jewels, or even what 
 woman, seeing that everything would be required for the war? I do not 
 say that such abstinence from luxury has been begotten altogether by 
 a touch of patriotism. The direct taxes which all Americans will 
 now be called on to give, have had, and will take much to do with such 
 abstinence. In the average time the hapless jewellers of Attleborough have 
 run low altogether to the rampart.
