We leern from a gentleman who resides among
the Seminoles, that they are well pleased with
the country they have lately removed to ; and are
clearing large farms ready lor cultivation the en

rapidly advance and improve, as they evince a
disposition to cultivate the soil, and depend upon
their labor, and net upon the chase for subsistence.

The Michigan Railroad sale bill has finally
passed the Senate by a vote of 16 to 2, with one
important amendment, which gives the legisla.
ture power to alter or repeal the charter after
thirty years, but provides that the company shall
be recompensed for any damages susiained by
such alteration or repeal. In the original bill it
was fifty years, This amendment is said 1o be
acceptable to the bondholders, and will in all
wobability be eonenrred in by the House. The

PROVIDENCE,
Saturday, April 4, 1846,
RESULT OF THE ELECTION.—DEFEA T
OF THE STATE REFORM AND RL S.
TORATION TICKET.
We regret not to be able to present to o ur
readers a more favorable report of the State elec
tion of Weduesday last, and to be obliged to re
cord the defeat of the candidates of the party by
a swall majority. The Jeurnal has spread befo; e
the public the returus of the votes, as collecte d
by express. The snm total of the votes in allthe
towns, stand as follows : for Governor, Jacksoy ,
(Reform and Restoration) 7407 —=Disay, (““Lav/
and Order"') 7460—Scattering, 160. Plarality o [
Diman over Jackson, 62 Maujority of Diwan
and Scattering over Jackson, 222. Majority «of
Jackson and Secattering over Diman, 95, Coii
sequently there is no election by the people.
The Algerine candidates for Attorney Geners.l
and General Treasurer are, we think, elected by
a very small majority by the people. The votes
for Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State,
do not differ materially from those for Governor;
and the election of these officers will devolve on
the grand commitiee of the two Houses of the
General Aseenmbly, at their session in Newpor,
on the Hih of May next. ‘l'he “Law and Order”
or Algerine party, haviog & majority in both
branches, their minority candidates will without
doubt be elected.
Our friends will notiee, notwithstanding the
excitements of our political eampaigns, the grad
nal and steady diminution of the sum total of the
annual votes toward the Old Charter standard,
while the population has considerably increased.
The greatest vote ever given under the old char
ter system was about 8600 at the Presidential
election in 1340, At the Siate election in April
1843, the first under the present constitution, the
vote was 16,505 ; that ia April 1344 was 15 563 ;
this year it has fallen te 15,077 ; and our oppo
nents predict, that, as the registration tax be
comes more and more onerous to our party,
through the failure of excitement, the vote will
gradually recede to about 12,000 ; and that we
shall come back to the minerity government un
der which the State so long groaned for deliver
ance. The whole male population of citizens of
this, (also citizens of the United States,) over the
age of 21 years, exceeds 24,000,
The falling off this year has been dispropor
tionately on our own side. The vote for Jack
son has diminished 600, and Diman has 326 less
than Fenner last year—making Jackson's greater
loss, 274, In several towns the registration fees
of democratic voters were not paid, and hundreds
were thus left off the liste; and hundreds more
have not come to the polls, as they ought to have
done. lad they turned out in mass our Ticket
would have been, beyond doubt, elected by a
large majority ; and, with proper exertions, one
branch of the legislature, the Senate certainly,
wight have been gained. The Algerines met
With but few losses in the way of registration,
being prompt to pay up all the head money on
those who were willing 1o come out on their
side ; and they did their best in all directiona.
It thus seems, from all the particulars that we
can gather, that, if rux Democrarsor Tiis Srars
WILL coMr FORTH, even under the present urjust
and resirictive system of suffrage, THey cax cane
kY THE Sta Te. There is encouragement in this
view for future exertions. But how long the
party can stand under the onerous pressure of
this annual taxation to make voters, we do not
venture to predict. Fully appreciating the diffi
culty, we were the more anxious that every man
should do his duty now, at the present time, not
trusting to future possibilities.
In Providence, where the Democrats are sube
jected to the severest stricture of the money pow
er, it is no more than justice to say, that while
some faitered and fell away, the great body of
themn behaved worthily of the objects of their ex
ertions, and came up in the right spirit to record
their names in the faces of their oppressors. To
the surprise of ull, it was discovered that the
friends of Gov. Jackson had greatly overrated the
support that was expected to his own and to the
city icket from seceding law and order men.—
The vote castfor “Reform’ &e. in this city, was
alnost entirely democratic; and many Demo
crots, finding, in the afternoon, that the city was
lost, withheld their votes. But, notwithstanding
this untoward turn of affairs, the total vote in this
city is but 79 short of what it was last year.
The total vote for Governor in this city last
year was 3921. This year 3911. Loss 10.—
Last year Fenner's majority here over Jackson
was 145 : majority of Diman (then Lt. Gov.) over
Jackson 219. Majority of Diman (Gov.) over
Jackeon, this year, 301. Diman has received in
this city three more votes then he did last year.
Itis worthy of notice, and excites reflection, that,
although Gov. Jackson was the first to propose
in the Law and Order Convention, that framed
‘lho existing Constitution, the admission of the
‘colored population to the right of saffrage, near.
ly all the colored electors in this city (at least),
several huudreds in number—manifested their
consideration for his services by voting against
him.

to the breasts of real demacrats. Weadd nothing.
The two Houses of the Ggneral Assembly re.
main very much as before. We [*ave gained a
Senator in 8. Kingstown and one in Chalestown,
and a representative also in the latter place ; and
lost a senator and one representative in New
Shorebam, and two in N. Kingstown, through
dissensions amnong our friends.
The Seuate stands 12 Democrats, 19 Alger
ines,~last year 10 Dewmocrate, 21 Algerines
To the House we have elected 25 members and
our opponents 43—no choice in Hopkinton
(one member.) Last year we had 27 Democrats
1o 42 Algerines.
The hopes that were entertained ot effecting
some important measures of political reform, and
of restoring our friend Gov. Dorr have thus been
disappointed. The Democratic Convention of
February last, recommended to the suffrages of
the democracy a ticket composed of Whig reced
ers from the * Law and Order” organization, a!-
ready in the field, who were honorably commit
ted 1o render their aid in promoting these re
forms, as specified by the Convention (among
which not the least important was a [ree ballot, di
vested of the signature of the voter.) T'he objects
intended being openly avowed (and our readers
will bear us witness that our colors have been die.
played at the head of the mast) and the measures
of reform being in themselves democratic and in
dipensable, every democratcould honorably vote
for the reforin ticket of candidates, knowing that
in doing so, he was not so much voting for Whigs
as for the principles and prosperity of his party,
which, it was «incerely believed, conld not be o
well sustained at ihis time by any other mode of
action. But the expected sccession of strength
from Gov. Jackson's friends was not received ;
nor have all the democrats sustained the recom
mendation of the Convention; and the resalt is
now on record,
For onrselves we will briefly add, that onr
course ia plain. Having failed of success in a
’ mode which a siringent neccssity only conld have
compelled Democrats to adopt, we are not dis
heartened ; but, remembering that democracy is
not the affuir of a day, that its principles are vital
and enduring, and thattrath and right eannot for
~ever be beaten down, evon in this citadel of »
moneyed aristocracy, and being enlisted for the
war, we once more gird ourselves to the work of
redeeming the Siate, AND TAKE OUR STAND UPON
THE OLD PLATFORM OF Jerrersoviay Democracy,
unfarling the standard of Popular Sovereignty,
Equal Rights, State Reform, and the Restoration
of our Friend—and inviting once more a general
co-operation in wur jnst and righteous canse.
Our motto is [ DEMOCRACY BEST UN.

Govervon Down.—This patriot's case has, for

with ecountenance, of the whig party, generally,
“we batled for him with hearty gom{will. as did

SMITHFIELD,
The Democrats of old Smithfield done up their
work on Weduesday, iu their usual good style,
and if all of their neighbors had done as well we
should bave to record a triumph where we now
lament a deleat.
WEteuTY worns.— The highest authority —Gen.
Washington, says the N. Y. Globe, wrote a cir
cular to the Governors of the several States of
the confederacy, calling for continued activity in
furnishing troops; and concluded with this in
structive paragraph :
““No nation ever suffered in treaty, by preparing,
even in the moment of nmegotiation, most rigorously
Jor the field.”
There can be no doubt of the propriety and
force of this position.
Ax moxoRABLE coNTßAsT.—Daniel Webster
duily receives from the British Isles the praises
of foreigners for what they call his noble stand
against the Awerican right to the Oregon Terri
tory. Mr. Polkisloaded with censure and conrse
vituperation from the same quarter of the world,
becanse hie contends for the entire American right,
and maintsing the integrity of the national do
wain. At home Mr. Webster Las also the voice
of the Federal pariy; Mr. Polk the approving
somence of the great mass of his countrymen.
Which of these rewards shonld be the most grate
ful to a patriot? And what Democrat does not
feel proud when he notices the honorable cone
trast between the federal champion and the dem.
ocratic President ?
Tue ovrsipe rßouTe —Those favorite boats of
the N. J. Transportation Co. the Mussachusetts,
and Rhode Island, now form an outside line ta
New York via Newport, leaving New York and.
Providence, daily, Sunduys excepted. We need
notsay one word in favor of these superior steam
vessels and their competent officers. The Rhode
Island is commanded by Capt, Manchester and
the Massachusetts by Cupt. Potter, both very ex
perienced and obliging wen, whose reputstion
as able pilots has been fairly earned by a long
experience on the waters of the Sound. With
such boats as the Rhode Island and Massachu
sette and such officers as manage their affaire, a
trip to New York via the pinat is not at all to be
dreaded.
Fox New York via Stoxivarox.—Those mag
nificent steamers the Oregon and Knickerbocker
have been placed on this route and leave cach
place daily Sundays excepted at the usual hour.
The Oregon is commanded by Capt, St. John
and Knickerboeker is under the directiBn of Capt.
Seth Thayer so well and favorably known to the
travelling public as the efficient commander of
the steamer Rhode Island. These two steamers
possess every accommodation to travellers, and
are exceedingly swilt sailers.
Grasp Concent.—The amateurs of masic and
the public generally we think will be gratified to
learn that Mr. Charles J. Weinz, favorably known
in this city as a musician of no ordinary powers,
will give a concert at Westminster Hall, on Wed
nesday evening next. Mr. W, has secured valu
able aid for the occasion—Miss Rosa Garcis, a
celebrated voealist, and Senor de Ribas, a very
talented performer on the Oboe and the English
Horn, being amongst those engaged to take part
in the entertainment. Mr. W's. eard may be
seen in another column, and we doubt not that
this arrey of talent will attract a large andience.
Tue Barker Faminy.—~These accomplished
and popular vocalists have, for the last two eve
nings, delighlc:‘l*grg. numbers with their musi
cal entertainments. On both oceasions they pro
duced a variety of charming songs, selected with
much taste, and executed in beautiful style. They
are justly esicemed for their vocal powers and
usical science, and wherever they go, they may
be sure of the applause of large and highly grat
ified suditories.
Sriars or Frowenrs.—A fine little boy, just
beginuing to go to school, was asked, the other
day, why heaven would be such a delightful
place. lle answered, because it was full of
“never-fading flowers”, as he had heard in Dr.
Watt's verse. Then pausing in thought, he ad

Tnesday evening about seveu o'clock, the Astor
House, in New York, was discovered to be on

and brought the fire under in about an honr.—
T'he dawmage done by the fige, and the water, is
estimated at $lO,OOO. The business of this grand |

Grear Freswer ix Maing.—The papers from

the most disastrous freshets that ever occurred
in that State, which was occasioned by heavy
rains and the breaking up of the ice in the East.

above all precedent, sweeping into ruin. from
that village, storehouses, dwelling houses, luwn

well a large part of the business sticet was un

dwelling houses were filled nearly to the second
story. At Augusta the water overflowed a con.
‘siderable part of the street, but did no serious

At Bangor, the Penobscot rose with great ra

A sLY TIP OF THE CREATURE.~One of our sub.
scribers, who happened to be in Newport last
summer, got down into the bar-room (not for
any thing wrong—by ne means) at a very early
hour, when there was no body but a boy in at
tendance; when 10, who should come in first but
a tall, well dressed, very solemn looking Quaker
gentleman (it was yearly meeting). He looked
about for a moment, and then, turning to the
boy—Dßoy, said he, does thee ever make any lem
onade ? Certninly, sir, a great deal every day,
Well, make me a glass—take that largest sized
tumbler. Boy mixes ingredients, and pours in
water, about half foll. Stop—leave a vacancy.
Has thee any old French brandy ? Yes, Sir.
Well, pour till Ltell thee to stop. Pours.—~Stop.
Has thes any good Jamaica rum? None, Sir.
Any Santa Cruz? Yes. Well, pour till I tell
thee to stop. Pours to the brim-—Stop.—Boy
mixes. And then our Quaker friend setting the
brim full, well seasoned beaker to his lips, pour
ed down, in one continuous stream, the whole
delightsome draught, without the interruption of
a breaih. Then, with that look of satisfaction to
the inner man, which on such occasions is seen
but not described, he sct down his glass and cal
led what's to pay. He paid and turned to go
away; but stopped, as if he had forgutten sowe
thing, just as he reached the door,and casting back
an eye to the (ountain of relreshment, where he
had imbibed the oxhilerating Leverage, he ex.
claimed: Lad, thee's a very small boy, but thee
