RHODE ISLAND.


The exciting state Of things in Rhode
Island seem 70 be approaching = close.
Gov. Dorr has fed. and most Of the OFF,
GERS Of The spurious government have re-
signed.
After DORIS visit 10 Washington city,
on his return home he visited New York,
where he received promises Of assistance
from Alexander Ming, Abraham j. Cas-
tro, and others Of the ultra Locos Of that
city. Returning 10 his own state, he
made a formal entry into Providence,
with considerable military display; pa
raded the streets, made a furious inflam-
maiory speech, declaring his readiness to
die in the cause, in which he had sacri-
feed every thing but his life; and then
dismissed the military, with orders to
hold themselves in readiness at an hours
notice. He afterwards issued a procla-
nation as Governor, in which he avows
his determination TO oppose by force any
interference by the United States SOL
diery, and gives assurance Of the most
ample aid from the city Of New York and
other places; and directs the military to
organize, and hold themselves in readi-
ness for immediate seryiee-to preyent
farther arrests under the law Of pains and
penalties, and also 10 relieve those alrea-
dy under arrest.
On the 18th, after taking possession Of
five or six pieces Of artillery, Gov. Don
located himself at Darlington Anthony's
house. and collected around him several
volunteer companies and determined to
attack the arsenal. But the citizens de-
termined TO turn out and protect the pro-
periy, which they did; and Gov. King
ordered out the militia, which could be
depended on. Dorr and his military de-
manded the arsenal; but they were told
that it would be defended. This was
about two o'clock on the morning of
the 18th. Their cannon were brought
TO bear; but the Attack Uas mol made.
In the morning the citizens mustered in
large force, and one hundred men came
from Newport and other places, with two
small cannon. They marched to Gov.
DORIS headquarters and took possession
of them--thc cannon pointing in their
faces--but the bird had flown. Gov.
Dorr fed in the early part Of the morn
ing out of the state. The whole of his
three or four hundred muskets in the
course of the day cleared out; some thir-
ty or forty men only remaining with the
cannon, most Of whom were drunk and
would not have given up without being
fired upon. Gov. King wisely and hui
namely took the promise Of Mr.. Anthony
and some others, that when these men
got sober the guns should be placed where
they were taken from. And thus the af-
fair appears to be settled, for the present
at least, without any shedding of blood;
aud we hope so much good feeling will
prevail as forever 10 prevent any actual
hoslililies in the settlement of matter
which can be better adjusted in the coun.
ell room.

Notwithstanding The perfection Of this
instrument, portion Of The people have
been for several years desirOus Of form
ing written constitution, similar 10 The
other states Of the Union; and this desire
has increased until il now appears TO b
general. Two parties, however, have
sprung up, each forming constitution
which they presented to The people; ons
without any pretence Of law. which, BY
permitting every white male inhabiian
over twenty-one years Of age 70 vote, ant
those who could not be present At th'
polls to send their ballots, was reporleC
to have a majority Of The votes. Th'
other was submitted 10 the people by III,
regular authority Of the Legislature, bu
was rejected, il is said, in consequence o
gross misrepresentation.
Both parties then proceeded to cleo
their state officers, the one under the con
sii.uiion thus irregularly obtained. tn
other under the regulations Of the consii
tuiional charter, under which they Ia,
prospered FOR nearly two centuries. Tn,
former elected their officers by near 81,
thousand votes. there being Of course n
opposition; the other party elected their
BY over seven thousand voies, being
clear majority Of upwards Of one thou
sand. And thus was produced the ARA,
which has caused the unhappy disturb
ance.
Much sympathy has been excited il
behalf Of the reyolutionisis, by the pre-
tence that they are contending for the ex
tension of suffrage. But il appears iha
they are coniending for no such thing
The constitution submitted to the pcopl
by the legal authorities accorded uniyer
sal suffrage to every citizen of the state
except naturalized foreigners; and 1

state and nominal property qualification
