 The following account of an interview with MT. Dorr, is furnished by a gentlemen of Connecticut, of great worth and intelligence and one upon whose statements every reli. ance can be placed. ..
 'The opinion you express of fight, before your political difficulties are settled, be. lieve are entirely groundless. Travelling in New Hampshire, about two weeks since, GU. riosity prompted s0e 10 make little deviation from my direct route, for the purpose of cal. ling on man who has made so much trou- ble- the redonbtable Governor Dorr. I found him at Westmoreland, few miles west of Keene, the shire-town of the county of Cheshire. He was a: the house of Mir. Eras- tus Buffum, farmer who resides about a mile south of the Universalist Church, but was informed that he spent part of his time with Capt. Barker, who lives in the east village. MT. Buffum and his family appear cd to sympathize deeply with their guest, and were manifestly exerting themselves to make him as comfortable and happy as pos- sble.
 "Capt. Barker is the commanding officer of company of New Hampshire militia. mastering about one hundred. rank and file, all of whom he says, could he got out in an hour, should the safety of his distinguished visitor require it. He is also said to be one of Gov. Hubbard's aids, and, as his name in. dicates, loud SbGrker for Dorr, democracy, free suffrage, &c. ~a .
 "I spent an hour with Dorr in familiar conversation on his principles, plans, and prospects. and received the impression that he indulged but little hope of ultimate suc- cess. So far as I could judge, the result of his last campaigpshad disheartened him, and do not believe he has the remotest idea of making another hostile movement. He seemed disposed to attribute his late failure | at Chepachet to the cowardice of some of his prominent brethren, and expressed his deci- ded preference of honest opponents to trea- cherous friends. }a
 "I told him had, a few days previous, passed through the southern counties of your state, and found the people, with very few exceptions, in favor of q constitution with 8 l liberal extension of the right suffrage-but decidedly opposed to the measures he and | his friends had pursued, to force upon them the one of their illegal adoption. and under which, he claimed to be their rightful Cover. l nor; and that they were highly. incensed against Goverisor Cleveland for his refusal to deliver him,foR the reqqisition of Cover. nor King. ltl OfGov. Cleveland and his conduct in rela- ton 10 himself, he spoke with great freedom and considerable feeling-he said he had no confidence in him-that his first giving up Carter, and then expressing his great re. gret for so doing, together with several other acts of twaddleism, of which he had been guilty, had convinced him of his utter un. worthiness to fill the office he held, and ex pressed his hopes, with some warmth, that honest men of all parties in Connecticut would unite in displacing him from the Executive Chair at the next election.- From what he said, and the significant man. ner in which he said it, do not believe there is an individual in either state who entertains so contemptible an opinion of Cleveland as Dorr himself; and, certainly, he mani- fested no disposition to conceal it. A knowl- edge of this fact. should think, would rather mortify him. especially when he recol. lects that he has also forfeited the good opn. ion of the lovers of law and good order in both states.
