Rhode Island American And Gazette

THE STATE ELECTION.—Enough has transpired to enable us to say, that Lemuel H. Arnold is elected Governor over James Fenner by a triumphant majority, altogether beyond the most sanguine anticipations of his friends. He will come in, from present appearances by ONE THOUSAND MAJORITY. Fennerism and Jacksonism are down forever in the resolute little State of Rhode Island, and the vile calumniators of private character, have been taught a lesson by the indignant Freemen that will be remembered as long as slander and detraction have an existence.

Providence has nobly sustained the reputation of her slandered fellow citizen. The largest vote, and the largest majority ever given on any occasion in this town, stands recorded for Mr. Arnold and correct principles. In 1821 the whole number of votes was 833. The result yesterday in this town was,

Whole number of votes, 951

For L. H. Arnold, 831

For James Fenner, 120

Majority for Arnold, 711

The polls closed at 12 o'clock.
