The following article we find in the Proui-

ly the view of Mr.. Ennis unfortunate posi-
ton that we have entertained, and which, we
are certain, very many Of his friends in this
place, olso entertain, at this time.
! One Of the resolutions passed by The Con-
vcnllon which met in this city aud assumed
the name "democraiic," denounced cestsin
officers under the General Govcrnmcn, for
having borne arms IN defence OF the SiMe
and against Thomas w. Dorr, whom the
same convention, by another resolution, do
clarcd to be- the legal and rightml Governor.
Both these resolutions were passed unani-
mously. We Of course have no rivh, TO be
surprised at any thing which the insurgents
may do; but It does seem To US a monstrous
stretch Of impudcnce, n wonderful disregard
ot all proprlciy, and on utter abandonment of
all consistency, that man who had himself
