the most favorable light. We, the abuse consists in
the clear and papabe violation Of our constitutional
rights rather than in the number of dollars and cents
taken from our pockets, and appropriated TO the sup
port Of slavery.
The Constitution has been vioated and these vio
lations have become so frequent, to create alarm
among our patriots and sages. wide Mr.. Adams
late speech at Brantree) The writer, however, con-
sders The most alarming circumstance TO be the per-
feet silence Of our northern press and northern
statesman and politicians, under the nhc,ion ofthose
abuses and violation of the Constitution and of our
rights and interests. We have submitted 10 them so
long, and 80 patiently that many of our people begin
TO entertain the opinion that we are ccnstitu ionally
bound to contribute portion of substance, nccu.
mulalcd by our toll and labor, to enable the snvehold
ers OF the south TO keep their slaves in sui Secon.--
Sir this supneness of the northern press mud north
srn men, is unworthy Of the descendants Of our
utionary fathers. Further abuses should he resist
ed. While we pny all possible difference 10 the rights
Of the slave States, surely ought TO maintain or
own. We should stand upon the siiic, line Of the
Cons uon. We ought not TO permit our southern
brethren to invade our rights while We should be
equally careful not to encroach upon theirs.

Vroom's address to the jury is described in

THE TRIUMPH.

The gallant Wings of Rhode Island have
won mos, briIIian, victory. Their State
election took place on Wednesday Of last
week, and was unques,ionably one Of the
most important political contests that have
ever been decided in tins country. Il in.
volved principles which lie at the very foun.
da'ion Of civil society and good govern.
men'. II was emphaticaly a contest be.
tween the friends Of Law and regulated
Liberty on the one hand, and the worst spe.
cles of Loco Foco radcalsm and agra.
rianism on the other. And although every
Kind at defamation, and innan,atory appeal
which could either banisl, the reason or ex.
cite the passions was freely INDUCED in BY tho
Dor faction yet the good sense and sober
Judgment of the People have prevailed
against the arts Of demagogues and the
wicked plots Of desperate and abandoned
men, We know no, when VIC have felt
more qualification a, the result of an cleo.
ton. With the Providence Journal We do
no, regard it in the light Of mere party
triumph. We look upon It as u triumph Of
the right and of rational freedom over every
thing that is bad. poisonous, and pestilent
in civil government.
The m,j'ri,y is as decisive as tho victory
is gratifying. The entire vote was larger
by several thousand than was ever before
cast in the State, reaching nearly to 10000.
The majority for FENNER, the Law and or.
der candidate, Is SEVENTEEN HUN.
DRIED AND FORTY.SlX! The House Of
Representatives stands 40 Whigs,to "a Dor.
rites The Senate contains 10 Wings, to 2
Dorrites. This result will probably satisfy
the friends of Thomas w. Dorr in this
State that the Freemen Of Rhode Island arc
capable Of managing their own affairs with.
out any interference from abroad. Tho
following is the state Of the vote by eoun.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION,

The election for State officers took place

the result is there has been no choice Of Gov.

Tho conS rva,ive vote at tho last election
was between two and three thousand. This
year the conservatives have all voted the Lo.
co ticket, and yet the Locos are beaten on
the State officers. The Hartford Courant
Of las, Saturday gives full returns from all
the towns in the State cxcep, two. These
towns give for BALDWIN (Whig) 24.2l6. for
