n-For the FIRST time, we feel a SINGER,
regret IN announcing the election Of whig
officer over Loeofoco In the triumph oI
tir Charles Jackson. in tho recent election
for Governor in Rhode Island, over III,
present democratic Governor ofthAt State
Mr. Fenner though the former be a Wing

cause prc.en, modification and lead us to
look with deep solicnude to the future. We
arc aware :ha, the efforts Of somo Of the
strongest Wings OF Rhode Island, and many
too who have long stood firm as the uncom
promising focs of the ograrian md revolu-
ionary spirit OF Dorrism, have been freely
given to bring about thi. result; and ye,
we cannot but doubt tho policy Of TINT ne
ton. which gives even the appearance Of a
defeat to the law and order party. But,
SAYS the Boston Atlas -"Mr Jackson is n
Wing and hn' always been with the Law
and Order Parry cxcep, that he differs
with them rs TO the cxpcdicncy Of further
retaining Thomas w. Dorr in prison, or
requiring, a, n condition Of his release, the
taking Of the oath TO support the Consti,u'
! ton" This to our mind, should hive been
sufficient to deter any may from voting for
him. We look upon Dorrism MS the con.
contrntrd essence Of Locofoc oism;-ils bit.
