A STATE PREsERvED.---It affords US
great qualification to announce the result
of the Rhode-lsland election, for il is an
auspicious result, and goes very fur to-
wards settling the political aspect of the
whole country. The victory is complete
and decisive, and places the whole pow
er of the State in Wing hands. The
Tories have got Governor, aud let
them make the most Of him-he has
been elected by u magnificent ma jority
Of one hundred and two votes, hut the
Legislature is Wing in both branches,
and OF course the election Of Wing
Senator to Congress is placed beyond
jeopardy. This is of exceeding impor-
tance in the present position Of The cOun-
try, and will, we trust ensure safety to
the nation. We are indebted to the ut
tention of the editors Of the Herald Of
the Times, at Newport, and of the Jour
nal at Providence, for the details Of this
pleasing event. The Legislature met
with serious preliminary difficulties in
ascertaining the precise state Of the
votes, ard the committee appointed for
that purpose, found it so difficult to pro-
ceed in the arduou, task imposed upon
it, that the aspect really looked ut ono
time like revolution. The danger, how
ever, Of throwing the State into utter an
archy and confusion appears TO have
been felt by both parties, and spirit
was aroused which has not only saved
the State from that calamity, but placed
her upon high ground, and ensured safe
ty and stability we hope, TO the constitu-
ton and laws

DErAMATloN.-The r. 7. Republican of
last week, claimed and boasted of the Hon.
James DWolf as the Jackson candidate for
U. s. Senator. Mr.. D'Wolf having rcpcled
and given the lie to this slander upon his
character, by his vote and support of the
Wing candidate, Mr.. knight, the same paper
instead of apologsing Cor their slander OF
that gentleman, has this week assailed him in
the most vulgar and scurrilous manner, for
having shown himself to be a true and con-
sistent Wing. We shall only further express
our hope that the two articles alluded to in
that paper, will be generally read by the
freemen.

WIG SENATOR ELECTED IN RHODE
JsLAND.--We learn by the steamboat
President, arrived yesterday morning
from Providence, that Nehemiah H.
Knight has been reelected a Senator of
the United States, for six years from the
4th Of March last. MIR. Knights ma
jority over the Kitchen candidate, MIR.

This is gratifying result, for though
there was no doubt Of decided Wing
majority in the Legislature, We were APP
prehensive of some difficulty among the
friends of the different Wing gentle emen
who had been proposed as candidates
Convinced, however, Of the Importance
Of electng an opponent Of the present
unprincipIed administration, our friends
had the patriotism and good sense to
concentrate upon MIR. Knight, and the
result is as We have stated. We con-
graduate the State Of Rhode Island, md

RHODE ISLAND SILK. A few months since,
we gave some accouD, of the operations of
the Valentine Silk Company, in this city,
They were at that time just getting their
plantation Of Mulberry trees under way, and
had commenced operating some machinery
by way OF experiment. Since that time they,
have manufactured a considerable Qnantity of
rich and beautiful goods, and have been SO
fully satisfied with the result Of their expert
ment, that they have fitted up, in the vicinity
Of the Steam Cotton Factory, in this city, a
building, thirty feet by ninety, three stories
high, with basement, to be devoted hereaf-
ter to the manufacture of Silk. An engine
of six horse power, is already up, and the
machinery will be in operation, in the course
of the ensuing week. Thus as Rhode-lsland
led the way in the manufacture of Cotton, SO
does she lead in the manufacture Of Silk
and we do not doubt that the latter cnterprze
Will prove to be even more beneficial to New
England, than the former has ever been.
The plantation of this Company, now con-
tains about 10000 trees, from four to five
years old, and from six to eight feet high.--
One OF the oldest and most eminent silk cul-
turists IN the United States, on examining
this plantation few days since, expressed
the opinion that, for the next five years, its
products would average half pound of silk
to tree. The silk, when wound upon the
spool, IS worth five dollars per pound. At
this estimate, the whole product of the plan
tation would amount to the incredible sun, Of
$4,000 per year. But admtting-and il is
admitted on all hands-that the trees for the
next five years will average onc-eighth of
pound each, the products of the plantation
will amount to upwards of $4,000 per year.
1t is to be hoped that extensive prepara-
tions will be made during the present scasoa,
to extend the growth, Of what promises TO
become in few years, the great staple of
New England. 1t is a staple too, thut will
require as little protection against foreign
competition, as the cotton Of tie South. and
promises to relieve us more than any thing
else, from the necessity of calling for the
revival OF the protecting policy, after tho Pc
rlod Of its Limitation shall expire.

The PACKED CoNvENTIoN.-Thc Van Bu-
rem packed Convention was to take place in
Baltimore yesterday, to ratify Gen. Jackson's
selection of his successor to the Presidency.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of Sa-
turday last, in reference to this Convention,
says-"The political autonlata from the north
and east are vending their way thither; and
that all liability to mistakes should be remov-
ed, the Grand Regency Sanhcdrim has been
for several days in session in this city to in
spect the condition of their machines. In 9TH
er words, the delegates will doubtless be
picked up on their transit through the city
and passed in review before the grand coun-
Gil. Their collars will be examined, remark
ed and adjusted, and they will then be sent
on their errand to the monumental city. We
trust our Baltimore friends will deal kindly
by them, and when they have redeemed their
pledges, see that the country members take
the right direction in attempting to get
home."

FRoM WAsHINGT0N.-The following letter
Is from casual correspondent at Washington, to
whom we have heretofore been frequently indebt-
ed, and whose information has always proved
to be correct His letter communicated the first
rumor of the contemplated appointment Of Mr..
Kendall as Post Master General, and was copied
by most Of the papers. We have no doubt that
his present statements in regard to the intention
Of Mr.. Forsyth to resign, the appointnicn. Of Mr.
Woodbury. in his place, and the sentiments and
intentions OF MIR. Kendall, are alike correct.
Should Amos Kendall, pursue the course here
indicated, it will not only DO to his own advan-
tage, but greatly to the public interests. lie has
capacity and industry, and if he have also the
disposition TO correct the gross abuses which have
been perpetrated in the Post Office Department
he will deserve well-and especially if he refuse
to permit that department to DO connected will

shall not be an electioneering machine for the
benefit Of Van Buren,. The Van Buren, men don't
know exactly how to take it. Some laugh and
hint that il is all moonsline, and that Kendall is
merely playing game to conciliate the opposi-

however, who look grave, and shake their heads,
and say that there is no dependence on him, and
that If he finds that he can gain more 10 himself
by confning the department to its legitimate iunc-
tons, he will do so. The matter, therefore, is TO
satisfy Kendall that this is not the case; that he
has nothing to expect from being honest and that
even if he should do as he declares he will do,
he will get no credit for it, and that he will lose
ON one side without gaining on the other So
