OF DORR.

The sentence of imprisonment against

Thursday of last week, when Mr.. Dorr was
brought from Newport to Providence in the
Iolas steamer, and committed 10 the State
prison. Mr.. Sheriff Potter, the sheriff of
Newport county, and two or three political
officers, accompanied him to the prison.
Mr.. Dorr walked fran the boat to the hack,
accompanied by Walter Burgess, Esq, who
entered the carriage and took a seat beside
him. After Dorr arrived at the prison, some
Of the members OF his family called upon
him and advised and entreated him to petit

persisted in his refusal to do so, or to allow
any exertions 10 be made by his friends in
his favor. The Transcript adds:
"He arrived at the prison just two years,
to a day and an hour, from the day and hour
that he left Chepachet, oil his flight from

a reward offered for his apprehension.
"The last time we saw him previous to his
landing from the boat last evening was a lit

from New York, and marched in triumphal
procession through the streets, escorted by
armed men with loaded muskets and brist-

HILADELPHIA
The Inquirer of Thursday 11th says:

The Inquirer of Thursday 1lth says:
A startling development was made yester-
day by Gov. Porter. While in independence
Hall he exhibited a sort of small "infernal
machines" consisting of a slow match and
some combustible materials, which had been
found by some of the officers, on the Colum-
bia Rail Road Bridge. 1t had been placed
in a manner TO set fire to the bridge, when
ignited, and to allow the incendiary TO be
some distance off before the conflagration
could take place. The object, it is believed,
was to burn the bridge, and SO 10 prevent
the country troops from reaching the city.
The Philadelphia American, of same date,
says:
The city continues tranquil, so far as &C.
ton is concerned, but we cannot say that
excitement has abated. Troops from the
country continue to arrive and the vicini.
ty of their Head Quarters is crowded with
curious people. Nothing is divulged o.
the intentions of the Governor, or his advi
sers.
A subscription was started in P~hiladelphi:
on Thursday, Tor the relief OF the families o
the killed and wounded among the military
during the recent riots, and in a few hours up
wards of $2700 were subscribed.

of cotton mills IN the United States; and as

And these prouds Britons cannot compete

Let them induce their government to let the
raw material into England free. That done
we will strive to manufacture so cheap by
the use of machinery, and under the protec
of our own Tariff, that we can not only com.

NATURALIZATION.

naturalized foreigners against the Wings by
the unblushing allegation, that Whigs were
striving to require 81 years residence before
naturalization, Nothing can be more I'M

in favor ofsuch application and suppress all
else. How stand the facts? OF four petit

DR.. RowLEs, the Locofoco candidate for
elector in this district, according to appoint
ment, addressed a very small number of the
people at this place on Monday. 1t was we'll
enough that SO few of his party thought it
worth while TO attend his appointment, for
we can assure the absent that their friends
present were not only much mortified at the
complete victory obtnined over him by his
competitor Mr.. Breckenridge, but disgust
ed also with his own palpable and utter inef
fciency.
The DR.. is said to be,and we have no doubt
is, very clever fellow. but the truth is she
don't know nothin." He is utterly incapa-
BILE of understanding a single measure he
talks about. He would talk for an hour
against "Protection," attempting TO show the
great evil in his opinion resulting from the
''odious doctrine, TO the people of the West
and especially the farmers, and then wheI
Mr.. Breckenridge in reply convinced him O
his mistake that the protective policy, in
stead of being an injury, was of incalcuabl
benefit to the farmer,and the true democrat

swear that both he and Col. Polk were in ia

WHO is GEORGE M. DALLAS.

WHO is GEORGE M. DALLAS.
This question is we'll answered in the fol-
lowing extract from the N. Y. Courier and
Enquirer:
When the notorious Monroe Edwards was
caught, a large part of the money which he
had obtained by his forgeries was found in
his trunk. This was attached under legal
proceedings instituted by the parties who
had been robbed. And the forger had been
tried, convicted, and it had beer clea rly es-
tablished that the money found in his pos
session was the actual proceeds of the check,
&c. ,out of which he had ~swindled the Messrs
Browns & Corrie, these gentlemen reioiced
that their troubles were over and that the
anxiety and expense which they had suffer
ed had resulted in the conviction of a great
criminal, and would restore to them what
was left of their property. 1t was true that
the forms of law required the attachment
suits TO be put an end to, either by consent
or by trial, before the money would be taken
from the custody of the court; but in their
simplicity, they anticipated that the lawyers
employed by Edwards, in Philadelphia,
would not only render every aid in their
power, but would express some regret at
having been in any way instrumental in
helping SC great a rogue in keeping honest
men out of their property.
Great was their surprise when they met
with an unexpected obstacle, and were told
that they should not get the money withouta
fight, unless they paid what these learned
gentlemen pleased to call a fee.
The owners of the money had their choice
then, either to incur the trouble and ex.
pense of two more trials in Philadelphia re-
curing the attendance of witnesses from
New York, Maryland, and Virginia, opposed
by lawyers, whose principles were clearly
enough displayed by the demand they made
or submit to tie imposition.
They concluded 10 take the latter course
and entered into a negotiation which result
ed in their paying n thousand five hundred
dollars, and then all necessary consent wa:
freely given, the victims of Edwards took
possession of the wreck of their properly ,ano
the counsel retir ed to Divide their fee they
had so honorably earned.
The leader of these high-minded gentle
men was George NJ. Dallas.
How unequal the result of human action!
Edwards is sentenced as a felon. Dallas is
nominated as Vice President. 1t should be
added that none of the counsel who made SC
respectable an addition to their professional
income belong TO this city, and, that after the
conviction of Edwards, under testimony
which left no doubt of his guilt, the gentle
men whom he had retained as counsel in
New York, without hesitation and without
any attempt at extortion, at once gave all
} consent requisite TO put an end TO various
suits instituted by Edwards in order still farth-
; er 10 harrass his victims.
