land is cheering omen. Not since the
Dorr rebellion has there been 50 much poll
tical excitement in the little State. The ad.
ministraton men were determined that
Rhode Island should not slip through their
fingers az did New Hampshire. Thirty
thousand dollars was sent from Washington.
it is stated by Senator James, (who after all
will lose his scat by the result Of the cleo
tion) for electioncering purposes, week be-
fore election and the Providence Journal
says that as high as fifteen doVars apiece
was paid for democratic votes. The result
is IL bitter disappointment to the Admins
tration party. The American Republicans
have elected their State ticket by about 5000
majority, and have large majority in both
branches of the Legislature which will send
a Republican Senator to Washington.
The Cleveland Herald names Col. joins

for the next Presidency. 1t feels authorized
to say, that,
Col. Fremont docs not acquicscc in the kansas

inquity of defeating the law thus substituted, by
force, when it discovered that it would not sub
/ serve the purposes of the enemies of irCCdum-aHd
! the crime of the government in UNFOLDING that
usurpation, the most tyrannical in its avs Of any

fora avowal of his principles and purposes the

will express them without reserve.
There will be some curious features in the
campaign if Fremont and Douglas shall
provo to Ie the nominees. Each is now -
years Of age Douglas the representative Of
the pro-slayery interest, is native of Yer
mont, the most anti-slavery State while
| Fremont, the representative Of the anti
slavery cause, is native OF South Carolina,
the most pro-slayery State
The Boston Atlas closes an able article on
the choice of "A candidate for the Republican
party as follows. 1t means Fremont, unless
we are mistaken
We think (and we would state our opinion with
all proper dinidcncc) that the interests and success
OF the Republican party depend in great measure
upon the selection of candidate whose maine Is not
connected with the political struggles Of the pl,t;
whose popularity has been in other than p0liti-
cal fields; whose career, while associated with the
giant strides OF the country towards greatness las
not been merely partisan career. We want a can
