The result of the election which took place in Rhode Island, two days since, is as singular as it is gratifying and encouraging to the friends of the Union and the constitution throughout the whole couttry. The election of Mr. James as United States Senator, pledged, though a whig, to oppose the further progress of the anti-slavery, revolution- ary and socialist sentiments of the day, has been nor, @ democratic Lieutenant Governor, a demo- | cratic Secretary of State, | General, a demccratic Treasurer, and a majority of | the democratic candidates for both houses of the State Legislature—all of whom are national and nnti-sectional in their feelings, their sentiments, and their policy. But in this respect the triumph of the democrats is only nominally a triumph for the democracy. It is higher—it is a conservative triumph. We do | not know that the whigs of Rhode Island are abo- | litionists, or that they are opposed to the further | oe of the slavery question, or even hostile to the compromise measures passed during the last | session of Congress. Indeed, we are sure they are | not. The result of the recent election may, never- | theless, be considered as favorable to the continued peace and prosperity of the whole nation. Rhode Island is a manufacturing State. Its territory is | small, but its industry is great ; its intelligence is of a purely practical character, and its material interests are well understood and properly appre- ciated by the great body of the people, whigs and democrats. Its rise, growth and present pros perity are all intimately connected with the city | of New York, and with the Southern States; and | to agreat extent the sentiment of both New York | and the South is the sentiment of Rhode Island. In consequence of its intimate relations with , the sound sections of the country, the fanati- cism which has infected Massachusetts, New | Hampshire, western New York, and northern Ohio, | has not spread its poison so far nor penetrated so | | deeply in Rhode Island, as ithas in other New Eng- l States. Two or three years ago, the anti- | slavery agitator of Kinderhook endeavored to | indoctrinate the democratic party of Rhode Island with his satanic malevolence towards the South, probably out of gratitude to that very South for having made him once President of the United | States. The practical democrats of that State, however, revolted at both the intrigue and the in- | triguer. Van Buren received = meagre vote in 1848. About a year ago, the other leading satanic agitator of New York, William H. Seward, en- | deavored, through bis instruments in Rhode Island, and particularly through the whig Governor and his organ, the Providence Journal, and perhaps through some other mediums, to do the same | thing with the whigs of that State, and to instil into them the fanaticiem, the socialism, and the | other wicked follies with which he is identified, and | which are so prevalent in western New York and | the infected districts of New England. But the | whige of Rhode Island—conservative and practical | —were proof against the tempter and the tempter’s | agents, and spurned them alike. They understood | their interests and their duty to the constitution | | and to the Union, and acted as the democracy had done a year previously, so that both parties reject- ed the influence and projects of both Van Buren | and Seward alike, and that glorious little State, | with a heart large enough for half a continent, stands erect in its fidelity to the constitution of the United States, and to the principles of the revolu- } tion. olitieal bate on legitimate principles only, eare- | fully eschewing and avoiding the demoniac tendon cies of abolitioniam and socialiam, wh h th agitators of the day—Seward and sought to instil into their minds, | b. | result of the recent election in Rhode Island, with its antecedents for two years preceding. We look upon both as favorable indications of the times. We care not for either whigs or democrats asa party, or ebout any of their old isucs. The country is in a new condition, and is threatened by dangers far greater and more fatal than any that could arise, of a purely political or party character, | of the old sort. The country is in a state of transi- tion—a state that has been forced upon us by the | abolition and socialist intriguers of New Yo Wa. Il. Seward and Martin Van Buren—a transi that will end in civil war, disruption, and dissola- tion, to this fair fubrie of government, if the de- signs of these abolitionists and the socialists be not | frustrated. Khode Island, or elsewhere, succeed in putting | down agitators and agitation, we will bail them with brotherly affection; and if the democrats per- form the same service to the country, we will meet them and greet them with the same foclings | of fraternization. Such being our explanation of the reult of the recent election in Khode Island, we would now ask bot winige and democrats in this city, and through- | it the State, who are oppored to the dangeroas | pd destructive doctrines of Seward and Van Buren, | whether it is not time to move—to take time by | the forelock, to prepare for the next election—to | organize committees, not only in this metropolis, but in every county and town in the State, from New York to Buffalo, and to gird on their armor for one of the mightiest contests that ever took place in the great State of New York—a contest on whieh will depend the preservation or ultimate | destruction of thie great Union? ' | Witxes, te Foernve prom Jesrick.—We an- derstand that the Governor of New Jersey hae not yet made up his mind to deliver ap, in compliance with the requisition from this State, and a, ‘reeably to the constitution, the fagitive Wilkes, who haa taken up his quarters, out of the reach of the law, in that State. Meanwhile, it is curious to observe | They have got together, and have formed them- selves into a posse of democrats. In a petition to the New Jersey Governor, they ask that dignitary to refuse the surrender of the offender. This is a curious democratic movement—stool pigeons claiming to be democrats, to influenee the decision of a democratic Governor. All that need be eaid of the reeult, if succosefal, is this—that the detmoerate will all be branded with the same burning iron Still, we are not eure that it will not be best for followed up by the election of a democratic Gover- | a democratic Attorney | | Inver | nate.

It appears that evo Bristol Bill, who was one of Wilkes’ own agents in the conspiracy against the Drurys, hopes that the stool pigeon editor will be sent to the priv on where he suffers, for he would take pleasure ip seeing him ata useful occupation by his side. Thus, even in prison, Bristol Bill has a fraternal feeling, which induces him to wish Wilkes all the | for half ounce letters under three thousand miles, | haypiness that he himself enjoys. It is, indeed, curious. Tur Leeistative Brack-Man, Oreratiox— ‘Tue Rerorr or tHe Sevecr Commrrrer.—We published, yesterday, the report of the select committee of three, who were appointed by the Senate of this State to investigate and report on the charge made directly against Mr. Bull, the Sexjeant-at-Arms of that body, and, indi- rectly, against Messrs. Johnson, Stone and Ro- binson, three of its members, of attempting to levy black mail on certain parties in New York, and to stifle legislation thereby. The excite- ment and indignation caused by the publica- tion of this serious charge, have not been in the least allayed by this report, or by the recommenda- tion of the committee, which it contains. The | charge against Mr. Bull, and indirectly against the three members named, was oue of unusual atrocity, being nothing less than an attempt to ex- tort black mail from the proprietors of certain gain- bling houses, the consideration to be given for the money demanded, being the stifling of a bill before the Legislature, for the more effectual suppression of gambling. ‘The charge is equal in enormity to that made against Kemble and Bishop some years ago, and which cause d equal excitement throughout the whole State, when it was made public, together with the expulsion of the Senators implicated. The report of the committee was very good as far it goes; but it did not go half far enough. Their recommendation to the Senate as to how they should act towards both Mr. Bull and the three members, was not enough. The committee were entirely too | delicate and mealy-mouthed towards Messrs. John- son, Robinson aud Stone. What business had these gentlemen to-put their pens to paper, and in answer to a letter from Mr. Bull, dated from the Astor House, write to him onthe same day and from the same house, “ that other business pressing upon the time of the Senate, will (would) prevent any report or further action upon the bill” in ques- tion?’ Why should they write any such letter at | such a time, or at all?’ Why should they say that there would be no report upon that bill? And what business had they to assume that no further action would be taken upon it by the Senate during the | present session? If they had determined not to take any action upon it themselves, for reasons best known to themselves, they might certainly assume that no further action would be taken upon it; but under no other circumstances could they speak for the whole Senate, of which they are members. The committee, in their milk-and-water report, very properly remark that the letter of these gentlemen to Mr. Bull was not a mere expression of opinion, but was tantamount to a stipulation that the bill would not be reported. It certainly was, | for they had the power in their own hands to report or not upon it, as they pleased. They say, too, that these gentlemen could not but have known that many bills are introduced and passed every | session of the Legislature, after the twenty-fourth of March—the date of the letter to Mr. Bull. | No matter how charitably disposed the public may | betowurds Messrs. Johnson, Robinson and Stone,the | opinion cannot but be that the committee should have reported that the case of those gentlemen looked as black, almost, as that of Mr. Bull himself. If those gentlemen were innocent of the charge of being concerned with Bull in this skilfully arranged | black mail operation, indirectly made against them, why did they refuse to be examined separately, and one atatime? Does innocence depend upon punctilio, or etiquette, or parliamentary or lega! forms, for its vindication? Will it not rather court enquiry when assuiled, and cast to the winds all forms and all technicalities? And why did the committee who investigated this disgraceful trans-action decline to exercise the power which they said they possessed, to allow them to be examined separately? They refused to accord that privilege to the accusing party, and the result was, the three Senators were not examined | atall, Is this a vindication that will exonerate Both whigs and democrats fought their last | the gentlemen of participation in this black mail peration, or clear them ofimputation, in the opi- nion of the people of New York? We should think not; and if the gentlemen themselves are satisfied 1 Luren— | with getting out of the diffisulty by resting on technicalities, the public will at the same time en- | ‘This is our explanation of the singular and mixed | tertain their own opinions on the subject. View this matter as we may, we have arrived at the deliberate conclusion that the Committee of tion in this case, should have reported unanimously that the circumstances implicating Mesers. Robinson, Stone and Johnson, in this transaction, were of such a character as to justify them in recommending their expulsion from the Se- They owed it to themselves and to the cha- racter of the Senate, to make such a recommenda- tion. But as the Senate have concurred ia the re- port made by the committee, and decline to take | any action in the matter, except dismissing Mr. Bull, the Sergeant-at-Arms, and declaring “that | Senators Johnson, Robinson and Stone, though they have acted with imprudence, have not forfeited vnate, in their honer and in- fagrity as Senators and as men,” they have placed themeelves on a par with them—planted themselves in the box with these worthies, and identified themselyes with them in this “fair business tra: action.” Well, be it so. In truth we did not ex- pect any other reeult, from what we have seen of both branches of the present Legislature. To usy however, the matter i+ clear. The Senators in ques- tion must have understood thy view with which Mr. Bull addressed them in reference to the anti- gambling bill, and the cautious manner in which they replied to that letter confirms it. They in- tended not to commit themselves; but the cloten | foot is apparent nevertheless. It ig our firm opinion, and we are certatn the public generally coin- cide in it, that there three Senators should be — promptly expelled from the Senate. Poor Bull | was the mere agent of the reet—and is the most | innocent of the four concerned.

She is thirty years of age, and rather well looking. She was married to a person named Clarke, who went to Baltimore five years ago, and she had not heard of him since. She was born in Yorkville, and her maiden name is Mobson.— The story of Fletcher is rather different. He sta that he first became acquainted with the woman on | Chirtmas last. He met her in the street, when she en- quired her way from him, A conversation followed. | ‘The heart of Fletcher was caught, The woman told him she had come from a house of a certain description in Jackson street. and that she had some wearing apparel in | pawn which she wished to out, but had not the money. Fletcher advanced her the cash, on condition that he should have use of the article—a handkerchief. She gave it to him, but afterwards came to him for it whether before or after the “change came o'er the spirit of his dream’? does not appear, (Mrs, Clarke alleges the | handkerchief was a love token betweensthem.) At all — events, Fletcher, it seems, was greatly annoyed by her virits to his ch-house, and drove her away. Ile re- cently sent the handkerehief; but she refused to take it. On Saturday night she came to the couch house in Twenty-second street, where Fletcher sleeps, accom- panicd by some young men, who knocked at the gates and broke a window. He got up, and coming down stairs a stone was thrown at him through the window. He fired a pistol over the heads of the crowd 0 seare them. The police were attracted by the noise, but Fletcher not wishing to prefer a charge against the woman, she was allowed to go at large, at the same time swearing | that she would have his life. Fletcher has been nine | years in this country. Boanp or Evvcation.—There was no business of impor- tance before the Board on Wednesday evening. and they remained in session but a few minutes.

Mr. Coox inquired whether the other two Senators, (Mesérs, Johnson and Robinson.) had not, also, desired to be sworn before the committee, Mr. MonGan—They did so desire.

There were no sales of Edgeworth; but holders are asking an advance on pre- ¥ious rates, There has been considerable inquiry: lately about this stock, and it appears to be little known here. It is a land company, whose property is about as near the centre of Boston as Union square: is to: Wall street, and the last report made out the stook: to be worth about fifty per cent more than it is now selling at. This report was made on the Ist of Janu- ary, 1860, fifteen months since. Improvements have been progressing rapidly, and the probability is,that the value of the company’s property has much increased. State stocks and railroad bonds were in demand, to-day, Morris Canal is dull and depressed. The canal will open in a few days, and we shail be able, in « few weeks, to tell some thing about the prospects of the company for the present sea- son. Harlem is taking the course we predicted. It has been a matter of astonishment to us, that this stock Jhas been kept down so long. Canton Company is advancing steudily. It appears to be in judicious hands, and it would not surprise us, to see it go much higher. It is possible @ little excitement may be created in Erie, in anticipation of the opening of the road to Dunkirk, sometime in May next.
