Dom MEETING IN Nsw ORLEANs.-There
ting in favor of Dorrism in New Orleans, last
week. After drumming up all the sympa-
,hizers, the great Dorr meeting came of Oh
Tuesday night, the 30,h Of July, and one hun.
dredand fifty persons attended it one.thlrd of
whom were Wings, who wen. 10 see the
show. The Tropc says: 1.-THE whole affair
was broad farce. Dorrism does not flourish
10 Louisiana. The Texas hobby has been
ridden dead lame, and a movement cannot be
got out Of Dor1ism. What will the locolocos
do next? ~
Here we find an admission that the Wings
nave no sympathy with Gov. Dorr. and that
while the Democrats, though few in number,
were assembled TO express their disapproba-
ton of his unrighteous imprisonment, the
wings are ridiculng their movements.
Every school boy in the country, Of ten
years of age. is familiar with the case OF Mr.
Dorr. we therefore consider it unnecessary TO
enter into particulars concerning II, and will
refer 10 it as a case well understocd-merely
remarking that what is conceived to be crime
ia him, for which he was sentenced to impris-
onment for life, is lauded as virue-as pa
the heroes Of the Ievolu,ion.-
Bnt what was patriotism with the dead, is
treason in the living, in the Imagination of
great portion of the wings. We appeal to
the republican-to the christian portion Of the
wing party, and ask them if they can ap
prove a sentence go unjust, SO oppressive. SO

pious christians on that great day for which
ell other days were made ! According to their
own confessions. they would be hurled into
the gulf Of dark despair for their hypocrisy in
confessing guilt, if not for their sins Of COM
sion and omlssion. If the Great Judge deals
out justice as the couris.of Rhode Island, uni

the Penitentiary, who has held that Office for
sixteen years. that such is the rigor Of prison

These being facts, is it any wonder that the
Algerines Of that State have thought proper
