Relative to the election, the Providence journal
remarks:
"The Whigsi in this State are divided into oppos-
ing factions the leaders Of which regard each other
with greater hostility than they do the Democrats.
These divisions have been increasing for seven
years, during which time we have had four Scna-
toria elections, each dividing tho party moro and
more. While this state of things continues, il is
useless to look for SUCCESS. Whether tho defeat
which wo have sustained will be sufficient to bring
the party together we do not know. We doubt il;
we doubt IL the election could be taken over again
to-day with any better success, except perhaps in
the General Assembly,"
