ouch Is tne contrast between the sentence Of
Mr. Dorr and Mr.. O'connell!s Republican Rhode
lsand-antii Nonarchical Great Britain! And
the people of Rhode Island who voted for the Peo.
PIES Constitution and elected Mr.. Dorr, Governor
under It, put their hands upon their mouths and
their mouths in the dust. and dare not. so far as
Swecan learn, even squirm like the worm that is
trodden upon. U, for Il revival of the spirit of

dare to maintain them! Where are The fourteen
thousand men that voted for the Peoples Consti.
tuition! Where are the Seren thousand who called
MIR. Dorr from retirement which he loved, and
only left that the "peoples cause might no, suf.
fer, for the Office of chief magistrate? Where
are the members of the Peoples Legislature the
House and the Senate, and the cfIirers of those
bodies! Can they thus see their leader made the
victim of hearlless oppression, and be dumb and
naclive? Then they are recrennt traitors! mis-.
cradle cownrds Wilthey shrink from respon-
sibility which they urged upon Mr.. Dorr? Then.
let them live and die slaves. The ground conse.
Grated to liberty should never be desecratcd by
! their oot-prints-the air of freedom should never
be polluted by their breath. Let Rhode Island
keep her own-her tyrants and her slaves-krr
bondmen and her freemen. Let them live and die
together, a melancholy instance of high ma nded
oppression and cowardly submission. The I'M
prlsonment Of Thomas W. DoRR will vet be
avenged. Whether in prison or out of prison.
Rhode Island cannot, will not hold him. He be-
