There has been no outbreak in Rhode Island
yet. All, however, are expecting one of some kind
very soon 1t appearsby the following, that great
excitement prevails there, and it would require no
great exertion to turn the smoke, now curling up
beautifully in the horizon from the Providence

Mr. Dorr remains at the house of burlington An
thony. The house guarded by soldiers, and a can
non is placed by the side of it. At about O'Clock
the signal of alarm was given, and according to
ders, some two or three hundred men assembled. A
portion OF them were armed. The alarm was given
in consequence of report that the sheriff was about
TO arrest Dorr. The crowd was very much excited
Burlington Anthony addressed them and declared
that Dor should never be taken from that house
alive. A voice in the crowd demanded to be led on
TO the attack of the arsenal, and several responded
to it but the orator cautioned them against CON-
hitting any covert act" What an idea of govern
ment is this-that government, which they say is
legally established, can commit an overt act -
Mr.. Dorr ordered the military to meet them in the
afternoon &C prepared for action"

The Claims Of Wyoming against Connec-

We see that the Wyoming people have renewed
their petition before the Connecticut Assem-
Will they get any thing therefroml II justice, -
honor, or policy have any weight, there can be no
doubt about il. How can the State avoid max
ing an appropriation The following facts we un-
derstand to be distinctly made out:-Wyoming was
planted by Come ccut to set up her standard, and
assert her charter rights west of New York. This
was between l76O and 70. In l774 the Yankee
emigrants having got firm footing, Connecticut es-
tablished town there and attached il to Ltchfeld
county. Members of Assembly went regularly to
Hartford or New Haven. Militia musers were
established-a regiment organized, and officers COM
mssioned by Connecticut. Town meetings were
warned-tthing -men-select-men and all the Off
GERS Of other towns were chosen. More than all
this, assessments were made, and taxes-heavy
ones, too, for so young and poor settlement-col-
lected, and sent off TO the Treasury at Hartford
Then came the war and the grievous wrong.
Two hundred men were raised under pretence that
they should be kept at Wyoming for its defence,
while any danger existed. Sad to tell, two COM
panes, so raised, were instantly ordered away, in
corporated by Connecticut in her line of the army,
making up part of her quota. OF course the settle
Hieht was leIt WnOuy ueIenceleSS. SavageS came
down on them, cruelty butchered two hundred, and
spread desolation and ashes over one OF the most
beauitulscenes in creation. Other towns, destroyed
in Connecticut, were paid out of the Western Re-
serve; but Wyoming, the deepest sufferer of all, was
over looked, and never was paid dollar
The old people Of Wyoming have lately recovered
their long lost records, which establish all these
facts. Now, they ask small sum to help finish a
monument, decently to bury the Connecticut people
who fell in the Give them that, and they
will be satisfied. How can the Assembly hesitate
If they are mean and unjust enough to refuse it,
ought not the Wyoming people to make out full
account against Connecticut, and demand, not as
favor, but a right, equal indemnity for losses
with the other towns, sixty or seventy thousand
dollars. The Assembly of Connecticut may prove
| to be penny wise and pound foolish and whilst
they refuse remuneration, justice, supported by pub
lie opinion, may compel them TO pay most amply
and they lose, with bad grace, twenty-fold more
than now would save their honor, and satisfy the
| whole people of Wyoming.
