NdS.rhusrhs Ekrtion.-From the
Boston Centipel of the 18th, we observe,
that IN 3 towns heard from, the Fede-
ralists have gaiaedl2 additional MEM
bers, and the democrats have lost =,
making a difference in our favour of Is.
By the same paper we observe that the
Hon. Eldridge Gerry has bid farewell to
his democratic friends, and not only vo-
ted for the federal ticket, but attended
their meeting preparatory to the election.
1t is with pleasure we learn that the
election in Rhode Island has termin ated
in favor of correct principles. The fe-
deralists have majority of three in the
senate, and four in the assembly.
Our State Election.-We understand,
that some of the worthy Office holders in
this city will not believe in the reported
success of sound principles in the middle
and northern parts of this state. 1t is
otherwise with their favorite editor. He
acknowledges the truth in the following
language Of despair -.. -
mo additional returns Of the election
were yesterday received, but reports,
which are entitled to some credit, are
very unfavorable. In the Middle and
Eastern districts, federalism Is trium-
plant. I am disposed to cherish hope
Of something favorable to repnblicanism
from the Western district, but cannot.
The Anti-EmBarso current is irresistas
bic. his state is in all probability gone.
My alarms are for the PRLsIDENCY-
NNew. Jersey, Pennsvlvaaia,a and Mary
land follow the scandalous example OF
this state, who can say, extraordinary
aud astonishing as il may seem, that our
next president will not be FederdHst
