} In the District,

In Jcssamine county, one of the be-
fore named districts, Mr.. Blackburn,
;Whig) has been elected to the Senate
of that State, by a majority of 279 over
Mr.. Lewis, his Jackson competitor, and
Mr.. Mitchell, (Whig) n member of the
House Of Representatives by ma ority
over Mr.. Trotter, the Jackson candidate
! of o5G.
In Madison county, the Wing candi-
date for The Senate has been chosen by
a majority of 3l3, and the Whig men,
bers of the House by average majori-
ties oro7l. The Wings also have sue
ceeded in Fayette county, by about The
like maiorities. In the counties Of Gal
latin, Bulli,t, Franklin, Woodford, Bour-
bon, Montgomery, Mason, Bath, SPen-
Ger, Shelby and Henry counties, the
Wing tickets have prevailed, and the
only counties, so far as we can learn, in
which the Tories have been successful
are Scott and Hanover, and there by
small and diminished majorities.
INDIANA.-So far as returns have
been received from this State, they are
decidedly favorable to the ascendancy
of the good cause.
/ The Louisiana Journal Of the 9th inst
says-"We came yesterday from Indi-
ana, and we know the result in that state
as far as asccrtaned, surprised both par
ties. The wings are carrying all before
them! "Victory" is every where the
shout. No one doubts that Governor
Noble, Notwithstanding the personal pop
ulariiy Of his competitor, is reelected by
a ma jority of several thousands"
Even the Louisville Advertiser, a
strong Jackson paper, admits that Noble
is seven hundred and twenty-one votes
ahead of Read.

the Polls early on TUESDAY NEXT,
to aid in the election Of the WING repre-
sentatives, selected by yourselves

We regret to learn that our friends
Clarke, Holloway, and Case, who were
mentioned in our last paper as being
stationed at Block-Island for political
purposes, have supposed that we intend
ed to do them personal injury, as the OBJ
ject for which they remained on the is
land (as we have since understood from
them, and particular friend Of theirs
who called upon us,) was entirely differ
ent from what we stated. While we
wholly disclaim any design to do them
the least injury whatever, we at the same
time add that the Information was fur
nished us by a gentleman Of The first re-
spcctabili,y.-If he was mistaken, and
it would seem that he was, we very rea-
dily make the correction, and hope Mes
srs. Clarke, Holloway and Case will not
consider that ws intended them any in
justice.

We have received from the Hon. Mr.
Lowell some remarks upon Dutee j..
Pearce's second libel, published in the
Rhode Island Republican last week; but
as they were written before Mr.. J.. could
have got our last paper, in which that IL
bel was refnted and exposed to the en-
tire conviction Of every one, We have ta-
ken the liberty TO postpone the publIca-
ton Of Mr.. Lowell's remarks until we
shall hear further from him. 1t is Mr.
Us desire, we doubt not, to take no more
notice of Dutce Pearce, than is ncccssa-
!ry for his own vindcatiOn. That fav-
ing been already fully accomplished, he
will we trust, be satisfied with one course
In an article in the II. ]. Republican Of
Yesterday, Pcarce, or somebody just like
him, says, "ome smr,ring member Of The
Hartford Conrention has had an inter-
view with Mr.. Potter, expressly VITA a
view to persuade mr.. Potter to disa7ow
what had been stated as derived from
him, but it was wholly without success.
MIR. Potter did not dsavow it nor one tit
tie of it," Supposing b. Hazard, Esq.
to have been meant by this, VIC have
shown the paragraph to him. and he au-
thoriscs us to stute that there is nc! one
word oftruth in any part of it. The same
writer goes on to say, Mr.. Potter will
not disavow it, because, as he says, in
his leier Of August Sd, 1884, the same
statement had been made 10 sereral ciii-
-ens of the STATE" This is admirable.
MIR. Potter's statement and letter to Jas.
Rhodes have been published but few
days past in almost all the newspapers in
the State, and every body has seen in
them, especially in the letter, a complete
refutation of Pcarce's story nay, what
amounts fully to a fat and direct contra
diction Of that story, MIR. Potter saying,
|" THey that is those in Massachusetts
who got up the Convention appear 10
hare no particular object in riep by The
proposed Contention" So completely
does he cast from him Pearce's i'm
putaton Of his having furnished him
with his libellous story, and in the
face of all this, he has the eflron-
terry to insult the public by making the
above quoted gross assertion.

TOWN MEETING.

Every freeman must or ought to be n
ware Of the importance Of the approach
ing election. The character and the in
terest Of this State are both deeply and
vitally interested in the result of that cleo
ton. The tories are every where max
ing the most desperate efforts to have
such men elected to the Assembly, as
will vote for Elisha r. Potter to be Sen
ator in Congress. They persuade and
threaten, and lavish their money in great
prolusion to accomplish their object.
Freemen Of Rhode Island-feemen OF
Newport-see 10 this matter-be diligent
and faithful, ul,-give your attendance at
the polls on Tuesday next, and vote for
the Wing candidates, and ull will be well.
If you neglect this, all is lost-Elsha X.
Potter, the devoted supporter OF General
Jackson's mad s. mschievous measures,
the friend Of Dutee J. Pcarce and Of A
mos Kendall, may be elected to the u.
S. Senate.

CAMBRIDGE.--Considerable interest
was felt in Cambridge on Tuesday eve
ming, for the security of the Colleges
and the Divinity School. A corps of
volunteers from the city, under command
of Franklin Dexter, Esq. kept watch
near the College Library during the
night, but no attempt was made, as had
been feared, by the Catholic population,
to avcnge the ferocious attack on the
Convent. This is to be attributed in a
great degree TO the advice and authority
of the Reverend Bishop of the Catholic
Church.
