Since the development OF the affair OF the steamer

lily OF the country exhibited by the cabinet in that affair."
the effect Of which, only, TO assure the despos oil
Europe that the people struggling for liberty should have
no encouragement from the government OF this country
the minions of the cabinet making great parade
about the sympathy OF the cabinet and the wing party
for the popular movements Europe That such dis
play Of regard for the popular in Europe is all al
ecaton every one knows who ecolects the character
and history Of the federal party in this country From the
origin Of the the present day it has been
hostile to the extension OF popular liberty The leaders
Of federalism now of whigery, have always sneered at
the capacity Of the people for sefgovernment. They
have always opposed the extension Of the right Of suf
frage and always favored the policy Of granting privileges
to the few at the expense OF the many They have al.
ways legslaed for capital and oppressed labor while at
the same time they have been enough to affect
hypocrtca regard for the interests OF the working man.
Now because the popular tide runs strongly in favor OF
the struggling Of Europe. and the enthusiasm for
the progress OF liberty abroad is high among people
these real conemners OF the people, and haters Of popu
lar liberty pretend to sympahize with and favor the
movements in Europe; which, il successful, will end
in prostratng the privileged classes not only OF Eu.
rope but Of this country, and introducing the reign
of pure representative democracy, rather the preya
ence Of EQUAL RIGHTS But, while these hypocrites in
the wing ranks affecting such great interest in the
success OF the popular movements in Europe, we would
respectfully ask them if they now ready to admit
that the people Of Rhode Island under the lead Of Tho
mas w. Don, were correct in principle, and justified
by the state Of things then existing in that State Tho
mas w. DoT although malgned and sandered by every
Z" conservative" wing (aas tory press in the United
States is Of the purest morals in private life and
one Of the most highly cultivated inteects. He
invited by the people Of his native State, twothrds Of
whom then had no voice in the government under
which they lived than the serfs of Russia, place
himself at their head, in struggle for the ertea-
sion Of Tie right Of sufrage-the very principle for
which the people Of Europe are now resorng to reyou
tons and overturRing thrones. The only difference in
the two cases is, that he acted upon welknown prn-
cple solemnly proclaimed in the Declaration OF lnde-
pendence as the brthright of American freemen. He
claimed il as peaceful right with which existing an
thorty had no right nerfere whereas, Europe the
people, although claiming the natural right TO change
their forms of government, had way to assert il but
by forcible revolution. But the two identical
in abstract principles and ask OF the organs Of
the administration who affect such sympathy for the
people of Europe, if they are ready to admit that
Thomas w. Dorr was correct, and his Algerne OPP
pressors, who still refuse him the civil rights Of
citizen, were wrong Until they make these conces-
sons, and thus in part atone for their wicked and
licous persecution OF who engaged in pa
triotc cause Kossuth himself, the people OF this
country viii be very quick to give them the credit
Of sincerity On the contrary their hypocrisy will be-
come palpabe, undeniabie and culpabe. At this day
the poor irhte man Rhode Island taIed one dollar
for the right Of suffrage, whid he must pay before he
pote whereas in France, every man, poor as well
as rich, vote without the payment of arthing.
The right OF suffrage free in France than in Rhode
Island Are the leaders OF the wing party ready to con-
denim this iIlibeality practised by the wing State OF
Rhode Island II not they should say nothing OF their
sympahes for the struggles Of the people Of Europe 10
for themselves the very rights denied to the people
OF Rhode Island.
