The first business wns 10 choose the

The following articles, extracted
from several Of the leading papers in
the country, in relation to the result of
the late election in this State, breathe
forth the true sentiment and feeling
every where expressed, as to the char
acter and importance of that result.
From the Providence Journal
The election which terminated last We'd
nesday in the complete success of the Law
and Order ticket, is one Of the most impor
tan, events in the history Of the State, and
its influence will be felt for good, long after
the men who participated in its ,riumphs.
have passed away. 1t is no party triumph.
II is triumph OF law and order aud reguia-
Ted liberty over anarchy and violence and
mob law. IT ia q triumph Of which all parIeS
will share the benefits. and which will be
looked back 10 with just and honest pride by
every irne hearted Rhode Islander. The de-
lusions which have possessed the minds Of
many honest and well meaning men. among
our opponents, cannot last. The truth is too
strong To be slut out. aud ,hese men will
soon rcjnice in the defeat Of the principles
for which they have blindIy commended.
As to the leaders, the mon who, for their
own selfish purposes. have plunged the cily
INTO violent and continued agitation we leave
them to the men whom they have deceived
and betrayed. whose time and whose sub.
stance they have wasted in vain attempts u,
a revolu,ion. which, had it been successful
would have ended IN their own ruin. II such
men can again deceive their followers, We
shall think there are no limits to humun Gre
dnlity.

mark, that in jfue Of the seven towns which
The Dorritcs have carried. the foreign and
floating population hold more than the bal

the real. substantial, home bred population.
