Never was there a time which called more
loudly for the the convened wisdom of the
wing party TO consult upon the selection of
suitable candidate for the state ticket, and
The adoption of energetic measures to secure
a wing Legislature then at the present mo-
ment. A full delegation representing the
wishes and predictions of every section of
the state is indispensable TO trust worthy
choice of a candidate for Governor, who
must concentrate upon himself the full
strength of the whig party to insure his sue.
cess. This alone promises remedy for
those dissenlions and distrusts, which last
year contributed so much to diminishing
the overwhelming majority Of the previous
election. Notwithstanding the able, &L. may
Justly be said the faultless administrati
of Gov. Paine heartburnings and jealousies
still prevade the public mind, manv of which
may be removed or allayed by better infor-
nation and fuller exposition from the rep
resentatives from different sections. Anoth-
er strong reason tor such rally at this time
as will thoroughly awaken the slumbering
energies of the wing party, is the vast i'm
portance of the questions which will come
before the legislature next fall. Que Uni
ted Senator is to be chosen, congressional
districts are to be carved out under the new
apportionment bill, the project for geolog.
ical survey the plan Of new system
of public instruction, and the reception OF
our share of the distribution will all probably
come under consideration. What wing
could lay his head upon his pillow in peace,
should his negligence subject all these ques-
tons to the whitening ordeal Of locofoco
legislation. Look at the state of New York
bleeing at every every pore, from the effects
of her fatal apathy;but at length thank heav'
en- arising with giant strength to overthrow
her oppressors at the coming election. Let
there then be great rally of the party
throughout the state. Let the cold touch
of apathy no longer freeze up the energies
of those who have the honor and welfare Of
the state,and of theunion at heart. In pur-
suit Of those great principles of policy which
alone can ensure our prosperity, we be
surpassed in vigor by rabid party who are
bent on bIighting all the hopes of the pres
ent generation. Let their energies for
mischief animate our efforts for good, and
speed US on to victory. Organizations union
and persevering effort will certainly ensure
success. Treachery and disaffection may

RHODE ISLAND. Judge Story at the o
pening of the Circuit Court ofthe United
States, at Newport on Wednesday. in his
charge to the Grand Jury, alluded TO the re-
cent events in that State. The Herald OF
the Times says. that he laid down the law
with great clearness in reference to the va.
rious crimes against the United States. and
defined particularly what constitutes the
crime oftreason. He passed high eulo-
gy upon the character of the state and its
institutions. and deeply regretted that any
event should have occurred TO tarnish the
reputation it had acquired for an attachment
TO law and order. The Rhode Island Bar
resolved, unanimonsv,to request of the lea'-
ned Judge a copy of the charge for publca-
tion.--Troy Wing.

The Royal cortege, when the pistol was
fired, was fortunately proceeding at a rate
more rapid than usual, and to that circum-
stance, it is supposed, her Majesty, in
great measure, owed the preservation of
her life. as Francis was seen by police
