Bedford, particularly, the contest was
warm and close one Tho whole

locos, aboitionists, sc.
The contest in Lowell was equally
close and spirited, and the Wings, with
ono exception, were victorious by an

The prospect Of saving the " Old
Bay State" has materially brig ghtencd
since our last. We arc now not with
out hopes that she will remain true to
: her principles.
The Republican Herald. of Provi-
dcncc, applies to the legal Constitution,
which has just been adopted, and which
goes into effect next Spring, IA number
Of very coarse and vulgar epilhcts,
such as "dcad carcass, sent out by the
Alscline Conveniion"-''the putrid
mass, -" wrctchcd bantling of a purse
proud aristocracy" miserable affair
Sc. SC. The object Of this is evil
dent enough-it is to keep alive the
foolish and deceptive idea, with those
who are ever ripe for anything and
every thing-that DORIS Constitution
will finally be established in Rhode
Island, and that the Constitution just
adopted is nothing more nor less than Il
"dead carcass" and will never go into
effect. This sort of political trickcry
may answer very well just now to make
capital for locolocois,n, but the eyes of
che people we trust have been opened
sufficiently, by past events, 10 admon'sh
them to be careful what illegal measures
they resort to in future to crafty the
selfish ends Of certain aspiring dcma-
gogues.
Let none be deceived by the false
idea, that tho Constitution, which has
jnsl been adopted is dead letter, and
will no, therefore go into operation ns
the paramount law Of Rhode Island -
That it mH go into full effect is irrcvo-
cably fixed and determined and we
very much doubt whether the number
ia the State who will deem it eXpcdicni
nr advisable to take measures to pre-
vent it, will be as large as was found to
cndcavor to prevent its adoption.
The Dorri,cs, styling themselves
democrats, held II convention in Prov
.dcncc on Tuesday afternoon at Frank
lin Hall. The meeting was called to
order by burlington Anthony, and
WiImarth n. Aldrich was chosen Prcsi,
dent. with several Vice Presidents ano
Secretaries. What was done at the
convention we cannot learn, rs the
doors were closed soon after they met
on motion Of Dutcc j. Pearcc, and al
"algcrinc" spectators were compelled
to withdraw. The Republican llcral'
promises Il full report OF! their donss OF
Saturday. We are curious to know
what their secret deliberations amounted
