to the recent insurreciionary movements
of Dorr and Company, at Providence.
But the speech Of Mr.. Simmons, (Which,
by the way, is rich enough to make Up
for all other omissions and defects in
this number,) and the press Of other
matter, has placed it out of our power
to give more than the letter OF Mr..
Whipple at length. A correct idea OF
the contents Of Anthony's letter, may
however be gathered from the reply Of
Mr.. Whipplc. as he (Whipple) takes
up all the important parts of it, and cf-
ieclually disposes of them.
The letter Of j. S. Harris is partly
conGrmatory of the statement of Bur-
rington Anthony, and like Anthony's.
contains some statements which lack
truth to substania,e them, that is, if we
Il take the counter statements Of other
conspicuous gentlemen Of the same par
iy as evidence. Respecting "com-
PROMISE" Mr.. Harris does not pretend
that any was made-hc only thought one
would be In his alluson to Gov.
Kings proceeding to arrest Dorr at
Anthony's house on the morning Of the
18th, he attempts to convey an idea
that Gov. King, after making known
his intention to search the premises, and
discovering tho dissatisfaction of "he
| peoplc" within, left the house without
accomplishing his object. This needs
no correction at our hands.-Thc Pro-
vidence Journal pronounccs il wholly
false" and says "Gov. King and the
Sheriff went into the house by the front
door through the guard, who made no
opposition, and searched the house, and
only retired when they found that he
was not there" Mr. Harris also states
that "Gov King told Col. Wales that
if Dorr would go out Of town, he had
no doubt but this business would be
settled by compromise, The Journal,
By authority, (of course from Gov. King
hi,nself,) totally denies that Gov. King
even told Col. Wales anything Of the
kind. In regard to the correctness of
another part Of Mr.. Harris statement,
the letter of Thomas Greene, one of the
Executive Committee Of the Suffrage
Association, will speak for itself. We
publish it below, to show how admirably
it confirms the statement Of Harris
Hear what Greene says
To The Editor ofMe Journal:
have read statement by John S.
Harris, purporting to give an account
Of his participation in the scenes Of
"Wednesday the 18th, and especially Of
his agency in circulating the story
about compromise. AS have taken
an active part in the suffrage movement,
and have been a member Of tho EXccu-
tive Committee, the body to which the
party naturally look for information, |
feel il my duty to correct that statement
in very important particular. MIR.
Harris states that on the morning after
the attempt on the Arsenal he left MIR.
Dorr, and went down street to converse
with some of his friends I; that, on his
return, he found Mr. Anthony address,
ing the crowd from the chamber entry
window; that he soon got to The window
and found that Dorr had gone away
Now, stood near the carriage when
Dorr went away, and both burlington
Anthony and John s. Harris stood close
Jy me side of IL. After Dorr had gone
off, Mr.. Anthony observed TO Mr.. Har-
ris, "Had not better go up and make
speech to them" to which Harris re-
piled, "Pcrhaps you had better. -
They then went into the house, and !
went round to the front Of the house to
hear what was said, and | heard Mr..
Anthony say, that a compromise had
been agreed upon. My only object in
making this statement is to expose an
attempt to deceive and impose upon the
public. nm in favor of suffrage, but
| am not in favor Of false statements to
gain any point.
THOMAS GREENE.
Mr.. Greene subsequently addresses note
to the editor Of the Express, aud informs him
that he has been waited on by Mr.. Harris
and others since the above was published,
and that he "must have been mistaken in the
person."
The next letter that makes its appear
ance aud which follows the foregoing,
is that Of The Governor" Dorr himself,
under date Of May 2lst, but purporting
to come from no where in particular =
The statement Of Dorr completely gives
the lie TO Mcssrs. Anthony and Harris,
IN relation To Compromise aud
bears the impress Of truth upon il, as
reckless and desperate n character Ms
he has proved himself TO be. IN his
letter Dorr rclatps with fearless prc.
