Rhode Island is about one or fzuo hundred !!
In several elections in the state within few
years, the fcderalists have carried larger
majority than this. Both parties have for
several years past, supported Gov. Fenncr

the state legislature, the members of Con-

MASSACHUSETTS REPRESENTATIVES

The federal faction in the state of Massa-
chusetts, finding themselves completely de-
feated IN their nciarious attempt 10 place IN
the executive and senatorial department men
who are professedly the advocates OF the fact
anchored Isie," are now exer,ing their utmost
efforts to embarrass and clog the wheels OF
government, by electing federal, alias tory
majority in the House of Representatives.
Should they prevail, which may Heaven and
the People avert, it will not be mere local
disadvantage, but the other States will be G.
quail sufferers as the Senate of the United
States might still be dsgraced by the pres
ence of the celebrated PICKERING. Every
real American must fervcbtly hope that the
pending election will add another sprig 10 the
laurel already acquired, and that the intrigues,
and Vaccinations of an aspiring faction will,
together with their hopes, be humbled in the
dust. We shall endeavour to give the earli.

which, we are confident, will prove propitious
to the cause Of genuine RepubIicanism.

NEWPORT:
WED.NESDAY, SEPT. A, 1911.

Az the recent election of representatives
to serve at the ensuing October and teoraa-
ny sessions OF the general assembly no change
was expected in favour of the Repub!ican
cause, consequently we were not much dls-
appointed at The election of JOSEPH oTAVN-
roN, Jun. who is now federal grog g-scller IN
che town of Charlestown, and the farhcafar
friend of Elisha r. Potter. We understand
Mr. Staunton was elected by majority OF
one vote Thus much for united excr;lons
of those two great worthies, Staunson and
Potter.
We wore induced to behevc that the Re-
publicans would not generally attend the Au
gust town meeting, from the consideration
that the time of the legislature at the ensu-
ing sessions would be principally taken up in
che trial of private petitions and other local
matters, and as no important advantage could
result from partial change, it was lhoughs
cxpedicnt 10 let them finish their political
year, at the expiration OF which every good
citizen will unite in dispacing men who have
so shamefuIy abused the publick confidence,
aud whose whole aim has been the subyersion
Of order and good government.
