In presenting TO our feilow-ircemen, the
eboyo named candidates for their suffragts,
We consider il wholly unnecessary to prefix
an elaborate Recommendation OF their quail
iics,ions, or former services TO the cause Of
Republicanism. They are gentlemen here
tofore repeatedly honored aud elevated by
the party 10 which it Is their pride to belong,
and of which they have ever been prominent
membsTs In selecting them, the Conven-
ton believed il would execute tho trust de-
volvcd on it, most satisfactorily TO its con-
s,ituents and we are most happy TO learn,
that the selection is unanimously approved
While We congratulate tho supporters of Re-
pub,icani>m in Rhode-Island, on tho nnsni-
unity and harmony which characterized the
proceedings Of their Delegates, on Wednes.
day evening last, we msy be sllowed TO ex-
press oui confidence, that that unonimily md
harmony will be powerfully seconded by a be-
commiDg goal on the dav of, election. On
no occasion can q jealous discharge Of all the
political duties Of freeman be more com
mcndable, than whom engaged in supporting
The election Of such men TO an Office so ims
por,snt as that which IL will be their duty to
execute. The choice Of Electors Of Chief
Magistrate Of this great nation, rs at All
times, certainly, matter Of high import TO
Republicans (; but at the present, surely no
one VINO prizs our inc.,imablc Institutions, San
hesitate 10 exert mis- best faculties in striving
TO reward those distinguished servants Of the
Republic, whose whole lives have been occu.
pied IN advancing her interest, and the vel
fare Of her people. The pomioa,ion Of Mes
srs MoSxoE and ToMPKras TO The Piesi-
dencv and Vice Presidency Of tho United
Staies, was made a. an early period by
General Republican Convention IN this State
10 cary that nomination into effect, so far as
depends og Us, . subsequent Convention has
designated four persons, IN whom the people
may confide 1, remains for the people TO
bes,ov their soF ages on the gentleman
thus designated, and by so doing award
the need which none but noble minds can
Justly confer, and which none bu, the bene-
lac'op Of their county Con truly appreciate.
Whether our political opponents intend
running On Electoral ticket, We are YET igno.
rant bat Republicans should no, be inlusn
ced by any consideration hsyiag reference to
their determination. IL is our duty 10 give
10 our own candidates all the support in our
power and VIC trust, that every Republican
freeman in the Stetc will devote the 2sth Of
November, and whatever of the intervening
uTc FCln tnio Gay 70 tnat, Vhicb ne Can pos
sibly spare from his usual ayocu,ions, TO the
grea, purpose Of displaying commanding
vote in this important cleciIen. Let no one
sb,ent himself from tho polls, especially, as
on ooo may depend The success Of our worthy
and highly respectable cendidaIes.--Prcu. p.
We understand that no Federal Republican
Candidates for Electors Of Prcsidcn, and Vice.
President, will be named in this State.
