Rhode Island Election Reflections and State Ticket Outcome
The Rhode Island vote on the 2d inst. leaves Comp ton Shoreham and Exeter still to be heard. The Law and Order anti-Dorr party secure an overwhelming legislature majority and appear to sweep the state ticket except Gov Fenner. Charles Jackson is elected governor with anti Texas Whig firmness. James F Simmons opposed Fenner, denouncing him as a Saraface for delaying Texas resolutions, while Henry Y Cranston wins eastern district Congress seat, and ex Gov Arnold takes western district.
