our principles in forgelfulness, and might have
been overcome by our willy foe, had not the peO-I

We have endeavored to cherish aud TO promul-

been heard the glorious name of democracy, it
has been coupled with the name OF DorT. Your
good deeds, and your sufferings in the peoples
cause, are not known alone TO us, but throughout
the length and breadthof our great country, the
name of Dorr has been upon the lips of every
Iphilanthropist, and it has been sounded in notes
of praise from the tongue of every lover of his
Icountry--it has been lored, too, by every Amer
ican soul of sufficient magnitude TO entertain a
wish for liberty.
at is my belief, in common with the belief Of
millions, that had not the principles of our faith
been sounded in connexion with your name, at
this day our common country would have been in
the hands of rulers, whose prolessed principles
are opposed to our Institutions, and whose rule
would have tended to enslave the people. lean
with pride inform you that your name has been a
watchwordfor the democracy, whose champion
we claim you yet to be-
owe feel assured that you will rejoice with us
when inform you that we have made such use
of the principles for which you have SO long and
so nobly abored, as to place within the chair of
state at Washington a man whose heart is filled
with patriotism, and who lives to be blessing to
his country. mean the pure democrat and peo-
ple's friend, James X, Polk, President Of the
United STATES.
"Tbe result Of this day has shown to you that
ii was not in vain that you appealed TO the peo-
pile of the State and of the nation TO reverse the
unholy sentence passed upon you. The people
of the nation did reverse that sentence in the
last Presidential election; and the people of this
State have accomplished it now.
81 fear, in your present feeble state, that shall
inhict painif proceed to address you farther and
will close by wishing you, in behalfo of your many
friends, long life, health, and happiness. May
your future life be as peaceful and happy, as your
past and present has been, and is, useful, bright
and glorious. May the pathway of your life be
strewn with flowers, and be oyershadowed by the
love which now fills the hearts of yonr grateful

Gov. Dorr would reply, the air was literally rent
with shouting.
Gov. Dorr, though very feeble, addressed the
audience for few moments, in reply TO Mr. Por-
ter, and was listened to with breathess attention.
He thanked the people for their kindness, and sta
ted that he adhered firmly to his principles; there
could be no compromise of them; that. however
much his enemies might have attempted TO tram
pie him under their feet, he believed his head
and heart were still in the right place.
His words were greeted with an incessant
cheering In fact, the very sound of his well
known voice seemed to possess charm which
filled all who heard it with the most unbounded
enthusiasm.
After Gov. Dorr retired, Welcome B. Sayes,
esq, our valued postmaster, was called out, and
delivered one of the happiest addresses we ever
heard.
We cannot refrain from here expressing our
Joys at Governor DORIS discharge an event which
we have bent our whole energies to aid in ac-
complishing--never, we may say, with much
confidence or hope. He is free; and, though he
comes among us shorn of his rights, yet we re-
peat he is still free; and thank God for that!
