THE ELECTION.

Gov. Lieutenant Gov. and Senate. TIL,
same parties. with nearly the same can
dida,es as in April last, but with increas
ed nrdour especially in the Republican
cause.
The weather was favorable for travel
ling, and in every respect such as all hat
prpfesseh to desire. The Nationals, Sc
called from their being composed ofmen
representing the views of almost every
nation on earth except their own. Goths'
Vandals, Scytheans, Britains, Germans,
Turks, Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, Ethio-
peans &C.; and most of their prominent
leaders attached 10 some one or other of
the principles and policy of almost every
government and country on Earth, but
theif.own. There were the Empireites,
the Iyrdnites, the Monarchites, the Iris
tocites, and the OHgarchifcs, with the
Lapyerites, and the Pedantites,-the
Bnkites, the Spindleifes, the NnADfies,
the white .Slaueites, the Caktoxaifcs, the
Clayites, and IVe5sterites, all packed to-
gether under the general naras Of Anti
Jackson:tes.. This Formidable array was
met and defeated by the spirit VI Rhode-
Island Republicanism. BY the same
spirit which reused the National virtue
in 1776. That spirit which enabled Il
Washington to rear, and Jackson to
sustain, Government, and Country,
against foreign foes and domestic trea-
son.
The votes were 40 divided between the
three cscandidates for Governor that no
choice Of my of the aforesaid Officers
has been effected and the consequences
must be, to. throw upon the last years
Governor and Senate, the fenrfui respon-
sibility of shel,ering themselves under
their own famous psrpctuation act. Those
Nationals have outraged the rights OF
republican Rhode-Island abused the
great Republican American family, and
the constitution and governments of their
choice, and spread prosecutions throusl
the State, measured only by the limits of
their power. 500 freemen who were in
duced, by their syren song, to trust them
in 1881, have been by them, ,raduced,
abused, defied and insulted-In 1882
having grown to 695 they have turned
their arms against them. by which they
arc reduced to contemplate faction.
Tho Nationals put forth their whole
strength unkennelled their great packs
and their little packs nothing was heard
through the land, but their discordanl

Nearly all. the, COTTON Manufacturers in
the State, we are led to believe, submit
ted to tax, of one and quarter cents
on the Spindle in aid of the Grand
National electioneering fund, out Of
which five dollars each was appropriated
to purchase every doubtful vote in the
State. The manufacturers of wool
proved refractory, in consequences of the
last resolutions ofthe General Assembly
respecting the Tariff.
