Ruonr lstA.p.-We have at length received nfor-
nation in regard to the transactions OF the last week
which can be fully and implicitly relied upon. We
have before statement OF facts eliciied by a mi.
mute and thorough investigation mace upon the ground
da,;ved from sources which forbid the idea that there
can be any mistake about them But we have no room
10 enter into details Suffice it to say they do not ma.
eray contradict any of the facts stated by US on Sa
turday; but regret that they make some additions
10 those facts which are alike painful and disgraceful,
and which will in all probability produce less fortunate
results than anticipated.
1t is true, that the people were most soemny ana
repeaie div assured that compromise had been agreed
upon securing to them substantially every thing that
thew had contended for. But compelled TO add,
and we do with sorrow at the weakness and depra-
yiy which caused it, that these assurances were shame
fully treocherous and false They were made pfinc'-
pally by burlington Anthony who had been foremost
in the Suffrage cause; who had accepted the office OF
Sheriff under The Constitutions who had voluntarily
opened his house be the home and headquarters OF
Gov Dorr hut who in the hour oil trial betrayed ooth
his guest and the people.
In this piece of teachery, which has but one paral.
Iel in our history he was aided by some half dozen
others in whom The people had conhded as leaders, and
whose pus;lIanimity is disgrace 10 human nature
The result is the complete ruin OF the Suffrage cause
the overthrow of The Consttuton-the restoration OF
the King and his charterthe subecting OF betrayed
and nsued people to the taunts jeers and contumely
ped upon them by their triumphant and nsolent OPP
ponents But for all this, if the people remain true 10
themselves, day of reckoning and righteous re,rleu'
ton will surely come
Our readers will be amused TO hear that to such an
extent was this dastardly deception carried that me
peo pie were actually told when Gov. King approached
Them that he coming solely for the purpose OF as
surne the person Of the terms ocompromse agreed
upon Under this belief, they promptly and voluntarily
opened passage for him, and even cheered him as ne
passed Such tricks the resorts OF knaves ana
towards. If the people Of Rhode Island submit TO
them they will show the whole world that they are

the amendment giving additional Representative

construction of the Constitution was sanctioned by
Washington, Jefferson and Madison. 1t simply re-
