RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.

The result in Rhode Island is, the election Of a
ticket entirely Wing. The State officers elected are
all Whigs and also the two Congress men. The law
and order party which has carried the day there for
several years past made up Of men of both par
ties and their candidates for office were about equal
y distributed between the Wings and Locos Gov.
Fenner was loco, so was Potter, Of the members
Of Congress, while the It. Governor was n whg and
also Cranson the other member OF Congress Fem

RHODE ISLAND. We have returns from all but
one town OF this State, indicating tho following re-
suit
Charles Jackson, Wing and Law and Order, but in
favor of the unconditional liberation of Dorr is cho-
sen Governor by about so majority over james Fem
ner, the Democratic law and order incumbent " no j.
opposed to the liberation of Dorr Jackson's clear
majority will be about 1875 votes.
Lieut. Gov. DimRn, and all the rest Of the law and
order State ticket reelected the candidates

one law and order.
Gov FenneT and Congressman Potter defeated
BY the sory,tr or faise. that they uniai:hfu
tothe sentiment fRhode Island in regard to the
Texns iniquity. Gov. F. accused of Withholding
the Resolutions Of the Legislature against Annexa-
ton at an importan, crisis; and Mr. Potter once voted
with the Annexutionists on preliminary question:
is said by mistake. We think he has been hardly
dealt with. Mr. Potter, though uniform Jackson
and Van Buren, mar, voted for Clay last fall Mr. Fen
ner, we understand, did not at all, and never
protested TO be in any way Wing. The Governor
elect is thorough Clay Wing, all the success
full candidates for State Officers Both the Congress-
men elect are Wings and law and order men of the
most thorough stamp, but Gov. Arnold, like Gov
Jackson, is understood hold that no good can result
from keeping DOR longer in prison.
tI@The Portland Bulletin and Eastern Argus, in
stead of meeting the various points Of superiority urg-
ed by the friends ofthe Concord r. route over those
OF the Portland route in open and manly way, let
no occasion pass withou, INDUCING in low jess and
pontess sarcasms upon the advocates of the Concord
route In doing this they but show the weakness of
their own case They resort to this for want
OF better-good grounds of defence. Their readers
must SO it, And if they think they hur, those a.
gainst whom they aim their tremendous saes Of wit
they are sadly mistaken. Their paper bullets wont
beat down the Dxville notch, nor dram the swamps,
or level the forests found up toward the north pole in
N, Hampshre-nor make the barren waste of $50
miles OF their proposed route "as wa,ered garden"
When they have accomplished this much it will be
ample time Tor them to throw mud upon the friends
of the Concord route.
