says:
"a gentleman, just arrived from Ohio, state,
that it is the intention of the democratic party
in that State 10 install Weller as Governor. in
consequence of an illegality which they assert
exists in the election of Ford. 1t appears thar,
by the present constitution, it is necessary
that the cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland and
Columbus, should register their votes previous
to the election. This clause of the constitu-
ton was not complied with, and Wellers
friends contend that all tho votes of those cit
les are consequently void, and that Ford is lc-

"a The Providence Journal speaks of "the

Committee, and commends the conduct of Sen

We-are satisfied, toe, that the bill reported
by that Committee has been grossly misreprc-

that editors, and public men generally, have

bill was hunted down, than 10 acquaint them

we state it as our sincere belief, that the Rhode
