Tie Legislature Of Rhode Islaud-nono but
ayoweJ Dorrites d.sseating-has passed u bill
erecting the Liberation Of Thomas ~. Dorr on
the sole condition OF si5 taking The usual oath oi
allegiance 10 the State. THIS is the condition
ON which Seth Luther and another insurgcnt
nave already been libc:ated. We presume -1F.
Dor, unless Influenced by false assurances from
without, will readily accept his liberty on the
condition proposed. He has slready and pub
ljcy admitted that tie present Government OF
Rhode Island is The iruo and nghtiul onc, and
he will hardly hesitate TO say as much TO ensure
his liberation.
The Providence Transcript says:
The House OF Representatives, passed an act this
morning, to liborste Thomas w. Dor, on contlon
that hs should 20 before the Supreme CoGrs and
take the oath o.! aliegiance 10 the State. The vat,
stood on the passage Of The sct-i9 in favor, 10
az eainst The Warden Of the Su;e Prison "as em-
powered by the act 10 communicate the act In the
prisoner, aad il he signifed his willingness 90 tgke
iha oaih, 10 conduct him before Inc Court.
The Supreme Court meets at Kingston on the Sd
