SENTENCEOF DEATH PRONOUNCED
UPON DO2RISN BY THE SU-
PREME COURT OF THE UNI

sion of the Supreme Court, in the Door cases
which were carrie up from the Circuit Court
I he Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
this mo ming, delivered an elaborate and able
report upon the Rhode Island Dor case.
affirming the Judgment Of the Circuit Coufi
of Rhode Island, The Court me, the question
in all lis forms, and are unanimous in the Judg-
,nent or condemnation in the Dorr rebellion.
Every point raised by the counsel Tor the
plaintiff has been overrued by the Court, and
every point, save one, by every Judge OF the
Court, MIR Woodbury. dissented Ut is his habit
to dissen, upon some point or other IN almost
every important question, and has made his
zeal most CONSPICUOUS thereby,) from the opin-
ion of the Court upon the question oil M'ruai
Law.
The Judges, save one, all affirm the right
or the State to prote itself in this form, but
Mr.. Woodbury. doubts, or rather non'concurs'
embodyiug his judgment in lengthy appeal
Much the respect which has hitherto been
attached TO the unity and opinions ot the court
is fast fading away, in consequence OF want
of unity of opinion among the Judges
Even wher- there is concurrence IN "pih-
ion there is often a dissent from the reasons o'
that opinion the effect OF which is often ''s1
of confidence, in law, law courts, Judicial decls-
ions. and the high tribunals of justice.
Mr. Woodbury. is the chief of sinners, IN
those Innovations, and he takes thereby much
more from the dignity and stability of the Bench
of which he is a member, than he adds to his
|ovn reputation from any opinion Of his, how
ever able.
