Rhode Island Election-It is stated in
another column that nothing farther was
known as 10 the result Of the Rhode Island
election. After that paragraph was in
type, we received the Newport, Rhode
Island Mercury OF last Saturday, con-
tanning the report of the comnitte appoint

it appears that the Administration party
have elected the Governor and too Sena.

the Lieut.. Governor. and four Senators
In four of the districts there has been no
election. A new election in these Districts
will therefore we presume, at once be
held flea. Ga=.

The arrival of several political persons in the
City, from the North well as the South reminds
US OF the approach Of the grand Presidential Bal
timore Convention. Those from the North have
come probably for the purpose of consultation and
advice III regard TO certain points of difficulty
which are expected TO arise in the Convention.
The first is whether both, and if not both, which
set OF the Pennsy lvania Delegates-those of the
Wolf or those of the Nuremberg division of "the
party" shall be recognized BY the Conv cntion.
This difficulty will probably be adjusted by ad
hitting both sets to seats, and giving them joint
ly single vote.
The second difficulty likely to present itself to
the Convention is one which will be less easily
reconciled, If il do not seriously menace its har-
mony. We allude to the conflicting claims for
the Vice Presidency the first office there
of course will not be dissenting voice unless il
be raised for effect. But coming "fresh from the
people," it is supposed the members may enter.

in the Convention, and it is ticklish question TO
decide, which Of them il will be most for the ad
vantage Of "the party TO select. The pros and
cons in either case are numerous. They will be
settled. if settled at all, in private caucus and

JoHs II. COOKE. OF vrRaINIA.--Mr C's high

mercifully, and he defended them manfully. Ey

render. His enemies must applaud his high tai :
ents and courtesy; and his political friends will
assuredly acknowledge that he urged their cause
with all the strength Of requirement and persua-
sive cloquence for which he is so justly celebra-
ted, His speech on the 18th ultimo in Martins
burg, drew tears from the Oldest aud hardest
men among his hearers, and overheard more
than one, as the crowd left the Court House, ex-
pressing wonder that, on q subject so hackney ed
as the politics OF the day, any man could be pa
hetieaiiy eloquent. He spoke again at Charles
town on the Goth, the day ofelection, and new
er heard more powerful, a more bitter inv ectye
Every sentence bore nduseous truth on its face.
1t will be a long while before forget the sarcas-
tic GOODNESS with which he held up the resem
blance between Van Buren's well known words:
" II is glory enough for me to have served under
such cheif," and the crngng speech is
honor enough for me to have served my beloved
Tiberius,-of Scjanus, the most despicable min
ion that ever licked the dust from the feet Of a
dcspot. The Speaker bent forward and sncered
wtheringly His own honorable independence
apparent in every word-contrasted strongly
with the contemplate picture, upon which he
was dwelling. Thunders Of applause followed
this chit"
Mr.. G. as an orator, would win a footing on
the same soil with the very best of our Amcr-
can Statesman. With an Imagination strikingly
bold, and an admirable fancy, he scars high and
well. His judgment too, could scarcely be more
discriminating and in word, with the right
heGdedness TO select fiji course, no man could
better convice others Of its fitness skill
fully entce others after him. And yet this great
mana man who furthermore has spent years of
his prime in struggling for the people-in extern
ding the rights of these his fellow ctizens-fnds
hostility where gratitude should have place, and
