THE ELECTION.

The result OF the election in this Stale,
for Members OF Congress, must be truly
gratifying to the Rhode Island Party.
Ihe vote is small, comparing it with that
OF last April, but the minority in favor
Of the Law and Order party is some hun
dr-sS larger.
The best part Of the election is the
fact, that the result seems 10 please all
parties. The Rhode Island Party, as
IA matter Of course, rejoice in the success
Of their candidates, as the great princi-
pies for which they contend have been
triumphant. The old Democrats who
did not vote, rejoice 10 the result, as
they say i, viii serve as caution TO iu-
ture Conventions processing 70 be demo
cratic, to beware of "coon skins" and
"hard cider" Some of those who call
themselves Dorr,es, rejoice in the re-
suit, because, they say, thei, candidate
tried to make 1t appear, IN certain quar-
ters, that he was not zone ofthem," and
also because of his professions of friend
ship for the President. The friends ol
Mr.. Tyler, also rejoice in the defeat OF
Mr.. Wccdcp, because of his vacilllating
course, and for publishing on the eve o.
the election, a letter wherein he denlec
his attachment to the present adminls'ra.
ton. SO il seems, that for once, al
parties are satisfied. - Warren Star.

Dutch Island Light House.

1t will be rccollecied by our readers
that Mr.. Robert Dennis, Of this town,
who was appointed keeper of the above
named Light House, by Tyler, about
four months ago, was removed from
Office few weeks since, without the
slightest cause and a connection of
the Collector Of Providence appoint cd
in his place. Mr.. Dennis had written
10 tho Secretary Of the Treasury, and
been assured by him that he should not
be removed, and consequently made
extensive improvements on the Island
at his own expense. After his removal,
he had al interview with Mr.. w. r..
Watson, the Collector Of Providence,
relative 10 the matter, and he state d
10 Mr.. w. that his father, Mr.. Den
mis-, Senior, was very sick and in
firm, and could not be removed, and
asked Of the Government, as great
favor, that he might remain only till his
father was better or died. Mr. Watson
told him to remain at his post, and keep
perfectly Spiet. and every thing should
be made satisfactory to him conse-
quently Mr.. Dennis returned home,
having confidence in the integrity OF
Mr.. Watson, well assured that he would
not be disturbed until some change took
place in his aged father, for better or
worse. He saw Mr.. Watson on Tues
day last, and was informed by him that
he must leave the Light House at the
end of the quarter, at all erenis Mr.
Dennis reminded Mr.. w. OF his former
promise, and told him that his father
was now at the point of death, and could
not be removed, unless at the positive
sacrifice of his life. To this Mr. Wat
son replied that there was no help, and
he musl leare. Mr.. ID. told Watson that
he asked no favors Of the Government, =,
other than that the life Of his aged father
might not be sacrificed to crafty party
spirit. Thus the matter ended. Mr.
Dennis, Senior, has been the keeper Of
the Light House ip question, for great
number Of yenrs, and is now more than
50 years Of age he was master Of n
Ship, and was in London, at the time of
the Tea excitement in Boston harbor;
hearing of that, he gave up the com
mand of his ship, returned to his native
land and fought most bravely and gal
lantly during the whole of the Revolu-
tionary war, and now such hero must
be sacrificed while at the point ofdeath,
and his departure to another world pre-
maturely hastened. to CRAFTY the ami
mostly Of party spirit.
p. S. Since writing the above, we
nre informed that the newly appointed
keeper, Mr.. Weeden, took possession
of the Light on Tuesday last, while Mr..
Dennis was absent to SEQ Mr.. collector
Watson, soliciting tho favor Of remain
ing on the Island as long as his father
lived; and thu, during Mr.. ID. S absence,
his father died
