Wing Divisions,

The recent election in Rhode Island af-

and discussions among Wings. The Provi-

of Whigs STAYED at home on election day, in
that city alone, TO have elected the Wing

election on sufficiently decided Anii.Slavcry

from several Wing papers, and given To

do not know the ground Of this change
but it IS lntImatcd that the ADMINISTERS

ced by proiessedly Wing journals. A.
mong those from which the publication
of the laws has been taken, art the At

But the noticeable fact in the premises
is this, as stated by the Washington Re-
public, viz" on inquiry, we learn that
in all these cases no change has been
made but in conformity with the recon-
