We suppose it will not be disputed that The
friends Of liberty in Europe and in this countr,
hold that Charles [. was tyrant depressing his
subjects under color of law, and that the men
like HamPden, who resisted him with arms il
their haads, Were patriots who deserve the last
ing gratitude Of mankind That James was a
tyrant, whose acts, under the same act of law
threatened the subversion Of the liberties Of En-
gland, and that the people, in exercising then
inherent rights OF sovereignty, and driving him
from the country, and eftcctng the "glorious re-
Foiution" of 1888, committed no crime, but, on
the contrary, did duty that is now the touch
stone of all true Engshmen to commend; and
that the same principles that justified Hampden
and Sidney, and Russell, justified also the men
OF our revolution. The latter resisted tyranny
on the same grounds their ancestors did before
them. They held, in the words of Judge VIII
ton, that the people had a right to institute 90
Ternment, chcHeCer, 1chcreuer, and hoic a5ey
pleased; or in the thought of the declaration of
independence, that when form OF government
failed TO protect their rights It was their duty TO
form new government, suca as should seem to
them most fitted to secure their happiness. Here
are the landmarks Of liberty. Great men have
set them up, and for doing it have lost their
heads on the scaGolds that tyranny have erected 4;
but the people have ratified their work and now
glory in their memories. All that tyranny did 10
Sidney, Russell, and their compeers, so far from
making of them criminals, but raised them high
er In the esteem Of wise and good. These are
facts that cannot be rubbed out
On the other hand British tories and European
legltmatists, the defenders Of the divine right Of
Kings and of the doctrines Of the holy alliance,
hold that the revolutions of 1912, of 1888, and
of IT'S, were great rebeIions; that IIampdon
and Sidney and Russell were "iafamous pgot-
terS 1--WE use the very words Of the tories against
law, and Of course, that the men of our revolu-
ton were no better than was Sidney, and should
have shared his fate. That no government can
be changed without crime, but by the peralis-
sion Of the eriStiag government. This 49, in
brief, toryism; such as may be found in any tory
work or tory speech; such as Sidney, Locke,
Macintosh, and our own patriots Of l775, wrote
against and acted against. II is no doctrine for
free America; il is a doctrine for despots alone
We have not space to write out in full the par
allel to the British and American revolutions
that otirtime has furnished in Rhode Island; or
the parallel TO the rank toryism the discussion of
this same cause has also furnished It is moi
needed. The suffrage men for years, all know,
had been struggling for their rights; for years
they had been denied their rights At length
they resored 10 the doctrines Of the patriots of
l642, Of 1858, and Of l775. They were unsuc-
cossfuI The leader in the work of establishing
selfgoyenlneit is now in the hands Of his ma
licious enemies. A packed jury has tried him,
and now he is sentenced to STATE PRISON.
FOR LIFE
The news Of the sentence of Thomas ".
Dor is received here with expressions Of indg-
nation that, VIC are glad TO say, are not confined
to the infamous. Tie guilt Of Mr.. Dor is his
fnnness in living up 10 the doctrines of the Dec
laratiOn of Independence; it is Of the same
stamp with the guilt Of Joha Hancock and Sam
