LATE ER0M HAYTI.

BY the brig Hayti we have Port Republican
papers to the 29th Of December. The state OF
affairs continued unaltered, the whole attention Of
the government appearing to be directed TO the
interests OF education.
The papers contain copies of decree recently
published, which puts in the power OF the president
the appointment of council Of State, the tenure
of whose office depends upon his will alone, and
who can convene only upon his order. BY this
it appears that the authority Of Guerrier is wei
established Journal Of Commerce.

''shoot that goose!' The Hdos'er lev

The following, from the Albany At
las, shows the tyranny federalism
would bring upon this country. The
Rhode Island inquisition torture Gov
ernor Dorr - compel him to renounce
the convictions of his understanding.
Not content to disfranchise him, it is
insisted that he shall disgrace himself
by denouncing his principles.-Globe.
The CASE OF DoRR.-The legislature
of Rhode Island have consented to the
Liberation of Thomas w. Dorr, without,
however, restoring him to those civic
rights Of which his original sentence
deprived HIM, and on condition that he
recognise and swear allegiance to the
government and constitution now in
operation in the State.
The contest in Rhode Island, of
which MIR. Dorr is the victim, has been
one Of opinion as to the validity Of that
constitution TO which they require him
to assent. He and majority of the
people ofthe State regarded the instru-
ment as invalid and superseded by the
peoples constitution. Neither he nor
a majority Of the people would now
oppose, except by peaceable and con-
stltutional agitation, the government
de facio of Rhode Island. 1t is true it
is government founded on force and
in violation of opnion, yet the consti-
tuition has left open means for the re-
form Of government more available
than force. But that Mr.. Dorr vii.
consent formally to surrender his past
OPINIONS for the sake of regaining his
liberty, we do not believe. The very
fact that such condition is annexed
TO his liberation, shows the tyranny of
the extreme and unnecessary punish
ment that has been inflicted on him.
1t is confession that he suffers fo
opinions sake, and that the sacrifice OF
opinion will purchase the cessation OF
punishment.

JACKSON MONUMENT.

Our readers will doubtless remember that
we noticed the meeting that was held in
Washington City for the purpose of taking
steps towards the erection Of monument to
perpetuate the name and fame of the ilustri-
Gus Jackson. This meeting det' rmined that
the monument should be a colossal equestrian
statue, executed in imperishable bronze. A
committee was also appointed by the meeting
to solicit subscriptions for the enterprise. and
also to superintrnd the erection Of the monu-
ment. This committee, consisting Of thirteen
members, comprise the following distinguish
ed gentlemen CAVE JOHNSON, Chairman !;
Francis P. BLAIR, Thomas RlTcHIE, AMOS
KENDALL, JOHN p. VAN Ness, John G. RIvEs,
WILLIAM A. HARRIS, JESSE E. Dow, BENJA-
MIN B. FRENCH, JOHN W. MAURY, CHARLES
X. GARDNER, JAMES HOBAN, and CHARLES p.
SENoEsrACK. Francis z. Blair was selected
Treasurer. The committee thus appointed,
now appeal 10 the citizens Of the Union. with
out distinction of party, for aid in carrying out
the great and patriotic work confded to their
care. They have by letter, signed with their
own autographs, appointed agents in various
parts Of tho Onion, for the purpose of receiv-
ing and soliciting subscriptions. William c.
BettencouIt. Esq, has been TINS appointed
agent Cor Wilmington. We have seen his
letter of appointment. and he desires us thus
publicly to appeal to all those who desire to
see erected alasting monument 90 the memory
Of the sage and the soldier, to step forward
and give whatever their circumstances will
warrant. And surely there is no one, what
ever his political creed may be, who would
not feel proud to be numbered amongst those
who will contribute to this great national tri-
butte Of respect and gratitude, to departed
greatness. Indeed, there are many who, We
feel convinced, will think it an honor and a
privilege, thus to be numbered.
UJMr. Bettencourt, at the Post Office in
this place, will receive subscriptions and give
receipts for the same in the name Of The Cen
trail Conmittee.LO
