WIG NOMINATION..
THE WIG NOMINATION.

The candidates Of the Wing party
arc now fairly in the field, and it is
proper that the Wings should com
mence an immediate and thorough or
ganization of their force. The coming
contest is of an Importance as great as
any which has occurred in this State
for many years, and it is the duty of
every Wing who has the good of his
country at heart, to devote his best en-
erions TO maintain those great princi-
pies which have been triumphantly up
held in Rhode Island for the last two
years. We well know that the Wings
have clear majority of one thousand
votes in this State, but this will avail
nothing, unless the proper means are
taken to bring this majority fully out.
We may be assured that every thing
which our opponents can do, will be
accomplished they are even now at
work, and as soon as they have settled
amongst themselves their quarrels as to
who shall receive the nominations, they
wiirbend themselves TO the work, with
all the energy that their own resources,
aided by the patronage of the govern
mcnt and the gold Of the treasury can
bring out.
The election derives an immense i'm
portance from the fact that the Presi-
Dental election will take place while
the members now to be elected arc in
office, and should that election devolvc
upon the House of Representatives, the
vote of Rhode Island counts equal to
that of New York. We may rely upon
it that every possible excrtion will be
made by the Loco Focos to carry in
their men, and we call upon our friends
thus early not to slulnbcr at their posts.

New BEDroRD, June 90, 1889.
Respected friends-I have the pleasure to
inform you, that we have at last found a let
ter from the Comptroller of the Treasury,
dated Aug. 20, 1893, addressed to T.. Pope,
Collector, authorsing the granting of regis
ters to whaling vessels, in the following
words:
81 have received your letter dated July 4.
Your opinion is well founded, that the rcgu-
lations for enrolling and licensing vessels arc
not compulsory. Registered peSseis may law
fully be employed in the coasting trade and
fisheries. They WILL however, be subject to
the payment OF tonnage duties on entry, in
certain cases, and to other regulations from
which enrolled and licensed vessels are cx-
emptcd."
There is nothing in the circular dated Dec.
2S, lIo3, directing that vessels employed in
the whale fishery shall be enrolled and Ii.

morrow.

der of John Gray, an African, on board

Oh the coast Of Africa in February last,
was concluded before the u. S. Circu,

was very clear as to the guilt of the
prisoner, but in consideration Of his for
mer good character, the jury were main

JUDGE STORY accompanied the awful
sentence Of the law with very feeling
and solemn address, most ably adverting
to the enormity Of the crime for which
he stood convicted--assurng him that
the verdict of the jury was just such n
one as the Court themselves woulG have
found had they been placed in their seats.
Their recommendation 10 mercy would
undoubtedly, he remarked, be favora5ly
considered by the Executive, as in no
instance had similar recomme nd alton
from a jury been disregarded by him
during tho whole time he had presided in
that Court. lie could not, however,
assure him that his case would no, be
an exception, and therefore admonish-
ed him to "pre7arc for the worst."--
The Judges address, throughout, was
most appropriate and afl'ctng--repletc
with good advice and religious instruc-
tion--and was listened to by the prison
er, aiteniivcly, though with no uncom.
mon share Of composure.

/ VIRGINIA. The reluctance which is
manifested by the Globe, and other
Loco Foco presses, to acknowledge the
defeat Of their party in Virginia, is well
accounted for in the following paragraph,
from the n. York Courier & Enquirer.
"The truth is that the administration
has been thoroughly defeated in VlR-
GINA that this defeat is fatal to MIR.
VAN BUREN and therefore the Globe
will never admit the fact of defeat, until
it is proved by the meeting OF the Gen
eral Assembly, and the election of an
opposition Senator. 1t is but small
matter for the Globe to swear that white
is black, and black white; il is a part of
its vocation. Ii does not receive 5000,
900 por annum for public printing, with
out asserting to II liberal stretch Of con
scierce, and an equally liberal share Of
veracity. To protest that there is an
administration majority OH oint ballot !;
to prove il by the most commended
Loco Foco arithmetic; by extracts from
private letters, and siipendiary news
papers this will now be the gome Of
the Globe as long as the Congressional
corrass is going on in a single Siate.--
The lie will answer the purpose until
the close Of these elections; and its
A" moral effect" may aid the administra-
ton in gaining the sixteen members of
Congress, which it must gain to retain
minority Of the lower House.
The chagrn of the administration
at the result of the VIRGINIA election,
its disappointment and apprehension,
could not be better shown, than by its
shabby attempts to conceal and mystisy
the true state of the case. II it were an
ordinary election, and an ordinary de-
feat, the Globe would have been salts
fed with preserving silence; but silence
will not now answer IFS purpose, and re-
course must be had TO hard swearing and
silly falschood. We have no fear that
they will deceive the people"
