WooNsoCKET, March Z, lS45.
Woonsockst- Scenery Womsn- Morals Manners.
My DEAR SIR,-


The place at which my letter is dated is empha-
tically the "head quarters of democracy" il Rhode
Island-the great New England emporium of
fashion, literature, and the arts--the Paradise Lost
Of America-in short, sir, it is the jumpng-of place
of the north. The editor pro. tenn. of the Gazette
(who, by the way, is an old correspondent OF yours)
very Justly remarks:-" Rhode Island, without
Woonsocket, would be asintolerabe as the Dismal
Swamp" And the same happy but partial writer
adds-with what truth it becomes not the writer
hereof to say-that Woonsocket without an
"X: Y. r." would soon become wilderness.
Suffice II Tor your obedient servant to affirm, that
fair-halred girl at his elbow declares that "thems
her sentiments" exactly.


Wen, then, our village, in point OF rich and va
rled scenery, s the most beautiful spot the face
of the earth-a perfect Garden Of Eden. II is the
nucleus of sundry other villages, which line the
waters OF the Blackstone. 1t is located in The two
towns of Cumberland and Smiihfeld. But il is
not my. purpose to give geogrsphtcal description
OF the place. would rather spesk of the manners
and customs OF its inhabitants. OF our women, It
is enough to say that they are the "beautlfuest'

mainly democrats-stauBch, true hearted demo-

to smoking. Hence, any fair day, you may see
small kacts OF them congregated on Post Office
square, putting their pure p,incp-s, splitting here
and there, and discussing the political affairs of the
country. Che moral character of our inhabitants,
male and female, is beyond reproach. We have
two or three public houses licensed TO retail ardent
spirits, bat they are frequented oaly by the tempe
rance portion OF the community. "drunken
man" is never seen in our streets. Our "hells are
not bona tide establishments, and are rarely visit

inhabitants are perfectly ignorant of the use of
cards, dice. &c; TO use homely phrase, they

ours is church-golng people, whose habits are
entirely domestic. The two sexes unite in mar
riage, generally, at the age Of thirteen or fourteen,
and fathers OF sixteen, and mothers OF fifteen,
as plenty here blackberres in August. Time
will not permit me to indulge in further details at
the present moment. My principal object, sir, in
writing these few lines, has been to call your at
tention to our village, and TO induce you If posi-
BILE, to pay visit. In another letter. if agree
able to you, will enlighten you and your readers
