MR.. DILLINGHAM; ON ANNEXATION.

In his published speech, Mr.. Dillingham; does
not condcscend even to allude to annexation and
when, subsequently to that, in meeting of the To-
cofocos in this village, he was questioned on this
subject, lie fagled and gave satisfactory answer.
Now we cannot permit him to keep in the dark on
this subject; for on this momentous question, he
has once put on the party harness and drawn in the
traces Of the anneXationsts Freemen of the

THE LoCoFoCo MASS CONVENTION

This Convention came off, as the phrase is, at
Danyille on Thursday of last week. After a
months drumming up Of recruits from Vermont
and New Hampshire, and the unqualified pledge OF
distinguished orators from abroad, the ocos sue
cceded in getting a very large assemby-just
about equal Counting Wings, boys and ALL to
the Wing District Convention in the same place.
Unfortunately, however, the weather chilly
several of the distinguished speakers" didn't
come-some who did speak were great shakes,
and on the whole 1t is represented TO us an up
hill sort of an affair, many being disappointed, and
some being absolutely Disguised with the perform
ances of the day.
B After the huge Locofoco cutlery against music,
banners, professions, &c. the reader will be pleas
ed to learn that this Convention undertook to
"take the shine" out of the Wings in all these
respects. They attempted these demonstrations of
enthusiasm, and made bad work Of it. We must

the remainder of his speech being an argument in
reference to Messrs. Clay's and Folks positions
an argument which has been so often demolished
in our columns that we shall not repeat the opera
ton here. In all the particular points made by
Mr.. D. we think that we have shown that the facts
warrant conclusions very different from his own
and that the course he has pursued is far from being
candid fair and ingenious. And what reasons
has Mr.. Dillingham; shown why either himself or
his party deserves the support of the friends Of
protection? Has he done anything to deserve that
support? He shows nothng during the entire
session we are not aware that he uttered word in
behalf of that great cause. GAS a sheep before
her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth"
But he voted, perhaps, for the patry addition to the
duty on coarse wool and certainly he voted with
the Wings against McKay's bill. Yes-as Thad
Stevens said of similar votes-he so voted by per-

wise he could not hope for reelection he was
permitted to go against the party this question,
as the only means Of Keeping him there to vote
,Oith the party on all other questions. We pre-
sumo that if reelected he would not dare to give a
direct vote against protection-yet by opposing
distribution, by voting for the sub-trcasury and
probably for annexation also, and by giving all his
influence to support party whose hostility to pro-
lection is deadly, he would prove enemy to the
cause OF protection and to the interests of his con-
stitucnts, quite as much to be dreaded as those
who more openly and more fairly exhibit the black
flag of Free Trade and Texas.

GOV. DORR AND THE PATRIOT.

We observe that the Patriot has of late been fill
ling its readers with gross misrepresentation in
reference to Dorr and the government of Rhode
Island. What are the real facts? He has been
found guilty of treason under the laws of Rhode
Island, and thus has incurred the consequences
which he knew perfectly well must follow if he
failed in his revolution. He voluntarily run that
risk For this treason he is punishcd-not with
death, the same crime is elsewhere punished
but by Imprisonment and confinement to the light
and pleasant labor of painting fans. The charges
of "Algerinc cruelty" with which the Patriot
teens, are pronounced utterly false by the Rhode
papers. And what more? Why, The government
of Rhode Island is noio ready, and has been ready
at any moment since DORIS conviction, to give him
a full and free pardon on the simple condition of
acknowledging the government of the state as
now established and recognized by the people of
Rhode Island DORIS father and family are anx
ious for him to accept the terms, but he piH not
Is this hard? is it cruel? We think not, though
our own opinion is that the government would be
wise to release Dorr Internationally, simply de-
barring him the rights Of citizenship until he ac
knowledges himself to be citizen of the state
To this even Dorr cannot object. But what if all
the Patriots positions are true Pin the name Of
common sense, what has this TO do with the politics
of Vermont ,-what can we do but sympathize with
him? The government of ermont cannot restore
the Dorr constitution release him from imprison
ment. If the present government of Rhode Island
is wrong, or DORIS trial and conviction wrong, the
questions can be carried to the proper tribunal
the Supreme Court Of the United States; and to lis
decision the whole people viii undoubtedly bow
with perfect submission. Let us leave the business
where it belongs
