THOMAS W. DORR.

MR.. EDITOR: Certain wing presses IN our couh
try, whose ill.disgused hostility to free prnc piles
betrays itself in open and unreenting hatred and
persecution toward the incorrup,ibe and much
injured patriot whose name have placed at the
head Of this article, have been unceasng in their
efforts to deprive him Of the just sympathes Of his
countrymen, by endeavoring 20 make it appeal
that his own unreasonable obstinacy was all that
stood in the way Of his release from what-no one
Is now hardy enough to deny--is cruel, uni ust
and vindictive imprisonment.
The following extract from the criminal code Of
Rhode Island will convince any candid man thai
the effect of the late MEgcruL and MAGNAy ylMoUs
ACT Of the legislature Of iha, State will only be to
eriend his prison limits and that if he should
avnil himself Of that offer, he would only subject
himself to insult. Tho law under which he would
go out puts badge of nfamy on him, which would
authorize all his IcrsoUutor, 10 execute their ven-
gance more effclualIy out Of jail than in it. The
following extract from Boston paper sets this
matter in its true light.
at is u matter Of wonder with MANY, why, when
tho Legislature of Of Rhode Island has offered to
liberate Mr.. Dorr, on his taking the oath Of acgi

The following extract from the criminal code OF

"That any person who shall be sentenced under
any provisions of this act to Je imprisoned for life,

Mr. Dorr, it should be remembered. was engng-
ed to be good, by granting an extension of suffrage

just object. That he should, for that cause, bel

A STARTLING PROPOSITION.

In the late second edition Of the Hartford Con.
vention, held in the federal city Of Boston, son
OF John Quincy Adams boldly advocated the
policy of making the slavery question the ,es, il,
all elections hereafter in tho FREQ S,a,es This is
clear indication that the abolitonists now feel
their own power, and that they intend 10 have tha,
power felt in future political contests. Id tho
late contest they cast 65 900 votes for Mr.. Brney,
and they were so distributed as to show that thew
held the balance Of powerin most Of the Northern
States. The proposition Of the younger Adams
shows that they intend to exert their power in
controlling the elections in these States. To this
state Of things we have looked with fearful appre.
tensions. The anti-slayery feeling has resolved
to rule or dissolve the Union. 1t becomes tho
Southern people to look closely into this state of
things. There is danger that the an,i.slayery
influence will sweep over the whole north
Hitherto the democracy has presented the onv
barrier to It's progress. But how long they will
continue 10 breast the popular current in view of
the indifference manifested towards the subject in

out against the local influences constantly brought

movements, when southern wings show no dispo.
sllon to rebuke such proceedings as have lately
taken place in Massachusetts,. Is it not strange
that Southern politicians can look on with silence
at such assemblages as that in Boston, and that
southern whig editors can pass them by with
scarcely passing noiicei If we are to meet this
crisis successfully we must meet it with undivided

her down, and, though much burnt himself in the

Medical assistance was Immediately procured, and
it was at one time hoped that tho poor girl would

evening until the Succeeding Tuesday morning., she
expired. Miss Webster'was only 81 years of age
In tho course of the inquest on tho body, it was
