 99,o1g ffesmsa u atteazaaee.
 h Muanee of the cali of the Suffrage Committee ol Rhode Island, an immense Democratic Mass Meeting assembled near Providence on the 4lh inst, numbering at the best calculation OVER THIRTY THOU SAND Democrats, ',fsiendly 10 the election ef Polk and Dallas, and the constitutional liberation of Gov. Dorr.n True to the des- perata, though eowardIy proceedings which have thus fur characterized the course oi.the Algefiaea of that State, Gov Fenner had or defed the entire military force of Proyidenes to be in readiness for action at the sound of the alarm bells of tle city This exhibition of rnock-feFeisa did not have the desired effect of intimidating the friends of constitu tional liberty from assembling within the borders of Rhode Island Though degraded by the supporters and defenders of a Britist C6q9ter, t Is yet American soil, and the re- suit of the recent Mass Nesting has shown that as Americans, the people are yet deter mlned to discuss the principles oi universal s0ilIage within it's borders. Tie State Pri- son, (Which, by the by, contains more true patriotism in the person of THOMAS ". Dom, incafcerated there, than is 10 be found in the whole Siate) was strongly garrisoned by armed soldiers, in mock anticipation of all attack upon the prison Gov. Fenner's residence Was also guarded by the Algernes during the day and night Of the 4th---thus exhibiting to the world that this official dig nitY feared to submit his official conduct to the ordeal of Pablie opinion.
 While these eoWafdiy demonstrations Of Seif-3eftate were in progress within the ely, the Democracy were moving III solid columns to theif place Of meeting, more than q milo distant from them. where they unani- moHsiy resolved. agfeeabiY b the original design Of the meeting, to resort 10 no other 1 than constitutional measures, free discussion, and lawful means for the liberation of the peoples perseculed patriot. The delegations l from other States constituted the bone and muscle of New England. With tiihe of 1 the physical force combined in this vast De- noealie legion, had fheY been disposed, tiie l pusIaaimoUs weapons of Algefine tyranny would have been scattered Ike ehaI before i the wind. But the force af this great meet l ing will advance the cause of free sulirage, and expedite the release of Gos. Dorr, with q moral force more potent than physical strength. Fhe giant strength of the Demo- cracy was there. The People themselves were there in council, regarding the demons strations of the Algefnes only with contempt.
 Ne regret that our limits will not permit Is to give more extended account of the proceedings. New Hampshire was repre- sen!ed by strong delegation. ExGovern- or Hubbard was one of inc principal speak CTS. He did not hesitate to defend the cause of Gov. DoFf in Rhode island as he had pre- vioasly defended his person within the bor- ders of New Hampshire. The coTespond- ent of the Boston Post, after giving sketch of his speech in previous letter. gives the following incident in letter dated on the 5th instatt:-
 "3lg letter of yesterday closed with stating that Gov. Hubbard was succeeded in his re- ina k by Alexander Wells. Esq, Of New i ! ofk. t.ne neseat, winch occurred while ] Gov. Hubbard was addressing tie meeting, was particularly interesting. 5fme patriotic ladies Ha1 prepared magnificent boqnet for i Gov. Dofr, n9t knowing that he would not I be allowed to fereiye il. As soon as the fact was aseeeaine It was determined by the flt patriots that fine hoqgei should be presented 10 Gov Hubbard, whohad shelter ! ell G0y.

Hab- f bard, at the close of the first division of his speech. In accepting it. lie eloqpently apos- tfophised tie zeal and patriotism of the suii- rage ladies, which imparted 10 their gift all mspeakable value in his eyes. After saving he should cherish tire hoquet while flower
 remained on 1t, on account of its interesting associations, he added, quoting from one of [ the banners borne by the ladies-..if this be treason, make the most ofit.n
