The SUPREME CouRT OF this State,
is now in session in this towr.

We copy the following from the Prov
idence Journal Of Tuesday. Various
rumors have been for several days
naoat that the Dorrites intend to attempt
the liberation of Dorr at their Mass
meeting in Providence, ,on the 4th Sept,
in other words, to open the prison doors,
and if necessary, rescue him by force;
and, as matter of course, cloihe him
with the robes of Office, and place him
in the Gubernatorial chair. We do
not think it worth while, however, to
be much alarmed at these rumors, nei-
ther should we recommend our friends
to be excited over much in regard to
them. There arc those among the
Dorrites, who are without doubt bad
enough to do any thing that their cour-
age would let them, but The leaders, we
are satisfied, are by no means anxious
for the liberation Of Dorr, notwithstand-
ing their sympathetic professions and
lamentations. His righteous inca'ce-
ration enables them to keep up an ex-
ctement-were he at liberty, their
political capital would be reduced more
Than one half 1t is therefore mere pre-
tence, their desire TO effect his liberation
From the Providence Journal of Tuesday
ANOTHER ALGERINE LAw.-We un-
ders,and that handbills are posted in
New York, announcing that steamboat
has been chartered to bring passengers
to Providence to attend the meeting for
the liberation Of Dorr on the 4th of Sep
tember. 1t is well that captains and
owners Of steamboats,, and of other public
conveyances, should understand the re-
sponsiblites which they incur in bring
ing into this State such men as compose
the Empire Club, the Spartan Band,
and the other patriots who, acting under
influence Of tho gentlemen Jacobins"
Of New York, seem disposed to make
another rally under the banner Of "the
banks and the beauty of Providence. -
The following extract from the laws OF
this State, An Act for the Relief, Elm
ployment and Removal of the Poor
Sec. l6-Digest Of 1914, p. 348) may
convey important information to some
people in New York
"If any master or other person having
charge of any vessel, shall bring into and
land, or suffer to be Landed in any place
within this State, any person before thai
time convicted in any other State, or II
any foreign country, Of any infamous
crime, or of any crime for which he hath
been sentenced to transportation, know
ing of such Conviction or having reason
20 suspect 1t or any person OF a notor'
nusly dlssolute, infamous and abandoned
life and character, knowing him to b'
such, he shall for every such offence
pay as fine the sum of four hundred
dollars, to and for the use OF the State
90 be recovered by indictment before an
court of competent jurlsdicton."
We have not the data by which to es
timate what portion of the Empire Clu|
and the Spartan Band come under ih
first clause, or what portion come unde
the second but every one knows who
was the character of the men who cam
here with Dorr when he encomped q
Acote's I'LL, aud the common sense
every man will Inform hlm of the proba
bio character of the men who will CON
on such an errand again. That ther
may be no mistake in the consiruct'o
ofthe section which we have copied, "
