The boss.ed New Engk'tid phalanx of rte.
publicanism is hroken and fits prestige one.
Sectionalism is driven from its stronghold
and the flig .of the tiliepressible conflict"
trails in; the OA, while the standard of Na

contest in Rhotin I , and

election of Cal. William Sprague, tho Demo
' eratic eapdidste for Governor, by fifteen hun
dred majority, and a Democratic nisjurity in
_ both branches of the State Legislature. Fre
mont carried the State in 1846 by the sweep
iog,majority of 4787.
This campaign has beeu the most desper
ate end exciting - ever si•nessed, in Rhode Is
land, and the vote polled is tinparalelled. The
Republicans pat fott't their utmost - exertions.
They called to their aid the beat speakers of
their party in the country, including Tom
Corwin, Abe - Lincoln, Senator Wil.,on; Dr.
Phelps; John L. Swift, and many others.—
The Desnoctrats,-onthe contrary, depended al
most exclusively upon home talent. Nut
wittistaraling„all their endeavors the Repub

is wit-tied td the ing.r it4ble fate which awaits
. it in the opening Presidential contest.
In this result all iiatiOnal - men ' frill gleat
