The Rhode Island State election took place on
Wednesday OF last week. We have no returns as
yet. There Is no strictly party question involved;
but there is that nvo"ed in this issue, which deeply
interests every man who, in the words of Bancroft,
"has ANYTHING warm under his left breast"
1t IS the question Of the liberation of THOMAS
w. DoRR, held in prison by The dominant faction in
Rhode Island, from motives Of mere revenge,-perse-
cu'ed Tor opinions sake, from mere mantonness
and malice. The democrats have, for his sake
for The sake Of mercy, humanity and freedom
thrown aside all other issues but that, and they
have raised flag with but one mVtio,-the uucondi-
tionat liberation Of Dou Aided bv some gallant and
generous whg-, they have formed party for the
single object Of The liberation Of Dsrr, and this par
ty lns nominated for Governor CHARLES JACKSON,
il wing Of high character. Nth him. in this generous
cause, are JAMES F. simmons, one of the wing
Senators in Congress, JAMES F. Dixos, the hate
Senator. Ex-Governor ARNOLD. and other me ubers
Of the wing party, who have revoed from the mean,
yrannous and prosecuting spirit that regns the
counsels OF the bulk Of the wing party, and OPP
posing the regular whig tickets with all their might.
We have before rs an extract from a speech made
by Mr.. SIMMONS, in favor OF the liberation Of DoRR,
whicA is full Of manly and yirluous sentiments, the
oulpourInss OF generous heart, indignant at the
spirit OF cruel,, exhibited towards IA n,aH, honest,
patriotic and pure, when, in Mr. Simmons opin-
ion, most in error.
In that speech. Mr.. Simmons repudiaies the con-
Struction which has been current with wing papers
elsewhere that Dorr may come out of prison freely
upon taking the oath Of allegiance to the existing
Constitution of Rhode Island. He may, 1t is true,
obtain his discharge from confinement, but will be
without civil rights more than negro in Alabama !;
nay, hardly much.

The ruling wings Of Rhode Island resent the de-
fection Of Mr. SIMMONS and Others, from the sup
port Of the Regular Ticket, with great hit,erness
