Rhode Island.-We copy the following
extract from the Providence Journal.
at is very gratifying to learn that the
Wings, throughout the State, have general
" turned out in good strength ut the late e.
lection. The result has been that, in many
towns, where the Loco Focos had made
preparations to dispute the election Of Rep
resentatives. they were alarmed at the strong
appearance Of the Wings, and made no op-
position. Such was the case in Warwick,
in %Smith6eld, and in Johnson. There have
been some few changes-the majority in
the House will be increased, and the Wing
majority in Grand Committee, will not vary
much from thirty"
The General Assembly will meet in Prov.
idence on the last Monday Of October when
il is probable a Wing Senator will be elected
to represent the State for six years from the
4th Of March next.

RHODE ISLAND STRONG IN THE
FAITH.
The Loco Focos have been beaten more
than ever in this gallant Iiitle State. Last
spring they elected lwenty.eighl members OF
the House of Assembly-now but twenty

VIRGINIA.
The state OF parties in joint ballot is as
certained to be as follows: true wings, S3-
loco focos, So conservatives, 81. As a
conservative cannot necessarily vote with
his quondam friends. the whig majority may
gina is one OF The redeemed states. ""
THE NEWS FROMiLLINOIS.-BET
TER YET.
The Loco Focos lie rather hard in Hi
nois, but it looks to-day very much as il
they must die. Their %laurels ave turning
rapidly into cypress.
The returns OF the vote for Gov. which
we subjoin, pretty nearly settle the question
that the Hos. CyRUs EDWARDS OF Alton.
has been chosen Governor. We have &C.
curaie accounts from siNly-hve counties in
the State, and the Loco Foco candidate
leads him only 200 votes. The counties OF
Edwards, Iroqnois, Champaign. Clay, Ell
hngham aud Whileside, are TO be heard from.
but as it is known that The three first have
chosen Wing representatives, there can be
little doub, that they have given mniorities
for Edwards. Clay and Efhngham are
small counties. which will give Carlin but a
lean majority, II any al all. The following
letter from Springfield, a central point OF in.
ielligence. communicates the latest informa.
ton on the subject. We copy ii from the
