A WAR WITH BRITAIN.

less, fraudulent claims 10 our own, add that
in this reckless spirit Of acquisition, we

portion Of our population. Both Of these
portions are, in some degree, under Bril-

still owing allegiance 70 their native land,
and others are under The influence OF con.

order quashing the injunctions and infor.
nations in the two other cases, Nos. 1919
and 1911, is incorrect, and should be re.
versed and the causes remanded. The
result is thar, in the two cases which e
affirmed, the injunctions will have to stand
until the quo carrdnto is determined. In
the two which are reversed, a similar con-
sequence follows--as no two Of the Judges
concur in the opinion reversed, that they
should be quashed."
We shall endeavor next week to pub.
fish the opinions of one--perhaps two
members of the Court; and the week fol.
lowing TO present the remainder of them.
In presenting the foregoing synopsis, we
cannot refrain from feicitating ourselves
upon the success Of this great measure.
The Mississippian has from the first given
the most ardent support to the "BRIscoE
BILL" One Of the editors of this paper
opposed a wing majority Of 300 in Kinds
CO., and losing few selfish democratic
votes, was elected to the legislature, on
this very question. We congratulate the
country upon this magnificent triumph Of
law and justice over the banks. When
the legislature again meets the present
emasculated skeleton of the " BRIscoE
BILL" will be transformed into its origi-
nal shape, and then, and not till then, will
the triumph be complete. Mississippidn.

Fiscal AFFAIRS OF MIssIss1PPl The

large sum in gold and silver will be leii
in The treasury, after all the warrants, is

not in possession Of facts sufficient to fur
nish at this time, full statement Of the
fiscal condition Of the government. Co
vernon Brown, we understand, intends
shortly to cause full reports Of The public
Offices, at the Capitol, to be laid before
the country. The information will be
highly acceptable to the people; and espe-
cially SO, because there is no session Of
the Legislature the present year. in 1910
the Treasury became unable, by the rea-
son Of the worthlessness of the bank pa
per which had been paid into it, to redeem
the, Auditors warrants as they were issu-
ed; and from that time until this, The pub
lie creditors have had 10 sell their claims
at prices varying from 30 to rs cents on
the dollar. The officers of State have
borne this great hardship, continuing in
the public service, when larger profits
were to be won in any other VOCATION
This remark applies with peculiar force TO
the Judiciary and Executive Departments.
The labor 10 the Auditors office has here
tofore been immense; and when we con.
slider the great number Of warrants which
have been issued,we must conclude that the
State has been fortunate in losing so little
by the rascality Of counterfeiiers. The
Pagaud counterfeits amount to but a few
thousand dollars; and it is believed that
those were the only spurious warrants in
circulation.
When the Legislature meets again. we
presume the present heavy taxes can be,
and will be reduced to suit the wants oil
the government. The sherifi's whom we
have conversed with from the various
counties, all agree that the people will de.
mand reduction Of the burthens they now
sustain.-[ Mississippian.

THE SUFFRAGE PARTY OF RHODE
ISLAND

|
The relase of Governor Dorr from the
tyrannfcal Imprisonment which he is suf-
lering in the cause of liberty and of equal
rights, depends upon the success of this
party in the spring election, which takes
place in April. Under the present con-
stilulon of that State, which was wrung
from the charter party by fears of Mr..
Dorr, suffrage is so widely extended, that
the liberal party, who go for the release
Of Mr. Dorr, might, IT would seem, pre-
vail, if there were thorough rousing Of
the people to manly exercise eff indie
pendence. At the South and West, where
no man dare threaten another out of an
independent exercise of his franchise, il
is difficult to understand how the system
Of industrial .Jedcralism' operates UNI
der high tariff, The great corpofators
and employers become the feeders of
the lahoring classes, and they unblush-
ingly claim the same right TO their votes
as TO their labor. Before an election they
are given TO understand that, if they vote
against their employer, he has no more
work for them. pent up in factories, they
have, or they think they have, no resource
for independent labor, and are thus led 10
submit! to this tyranny over the mind--a
species of slavery worse than that which
reaches only the body. If the laboring
classes Of the North would but appreciate
their own elevated scale of usefulness in
society--lt they would reflect that the
employer depends more on them than
they on him, aud that they earn Ten times
what they consume they would soon bring
the arrogant usurper over their freedom
Of mind TO terms, and assert and maintain
their just independence. But great allow
ance is to be made for man who gets,
for his daily toll of twelve hours, but bare
~ enough Tor the daily wants of his fam
lily, and who cannot lose a week in seek
ing new employment, without being put
just so far behind in his means of subss.
tence. He has TO decide between submis-
sion TO his employer, and an act of pa.
triotism and independence in casting his
vote as he wishes, at the expense Of taxi
'hN piNau iiOiii WIG huu NIllluIeu.
This is the worst feature in the tariff
system. Ii makes slaves OF freemen, and
changes the Independent yeomanry into
men with votes iii their hands, which be-
long TO themselves, but must be given to
their employers. Extend such system
over this country, and ancient federalism
in its worst form did not put power into
the hands Of the few more directly than
this modern industrial federalism, thus a.
bused, will accomplish.
These considerations should moi be for
gotten in estimating the difficulties Of the
democratic party in Rhode Island but to
deserve the strong sympaihis they have
reused in the nation, they should make d
determined effort to throw of their felters,
and show that they are men, and not will
ing slaves TO arbitaiy and unjust power.

THE YOUNG HARTFORD CONVENTION

| THE YOUNG HARTFORD CONVENTION
"The combinations Of the recent con.
vention, held at Boston, and its relation to
its parent stock, the Hartford convention
will best be seen by the political afFinities
of the principal performers in this first acl
of the federal drama Of "the Union dis
solved"
The President of the Convention was
Hon. John M. Williams, late Chief Jus.
tlce Of the Common Pleas, who resigned
his Office because the democrats reduced
his salary in 1913. He is of the Hart
ford convention school, was a member of
the convention school, was a member Of
the Massachusetts legislature, from New
Bedford, in 1914, and voted for the Hart
ford convention, and subsequently approx.
ed its doings.
-Four of the vice presidents were also
prominent survivors Of the Hartford con-
ventlon conspiracy, viz: Judge White of
Salem, who was a federal senator Of the
Massachusetts senate in 1913, protested
against the war, and voted against giving
any aid or cooperation TO the general 90
vernment. He was one Of the thirteen
senators who voted against the resolution
in the senate TO equip ship Of war 10 be
employed by Presiden, Madison during
the war.
George Grinnel, another vice president,
was a member Of the rebel convention of
federalisis of Hampshire and Franklin
counties, 1912, and one Of the committee
of safety appointed to aid the British and
oppose the war.
John Reed, another vice president, now
wing Lieutenant Governor Of Massachu.
sets, was member of the Barnstable
county rebel convention in 1912, and as
federal member Of congress ia 1913 voted
against every measure to carry on the
war, and violently denounced Madison and
Jefferson. Last summer, he published a
letter avowing that the annexation Of Tex
as would be the dissolution Of the Union,
and that Massachusetts would never sub.
nit to it.
Daniel Wilder, fourth vice president
was one Of the signers Of the protest OF
federal members Of the Massachusetts leg
islature, in 1914, against the war. The
protest was denounced by the democratic
members as Illuminating to US, and mean
~ submissive 10 Great Britain" w. Sui
Ivan, one Of the ambassadors Of the Hart
ford convention 10 demand of President
Madison a separation Of New England,
affirmed Of this protest that il was "much
superior 10 the declaration Of indepen-
dence.r See bis familiar letters, page 31S.
Here are FIVE of the chief officers of
this disunion convention, taken directly
from the surviving band Of Hartford com
venfion disunionisis!
Henry Hubbard (who was the most
prominent debater in the convention, the
abolition Ambassadors sent by Gov. Briggs
10 Louisiana, from which mission be has
recently 'escaped) voted for the Hartford
convention, in the Massachusetts legisla-
ture, in 1914, and for two days debated
in support Of that infamous measure.
