senteHcc ol the supreme COurt III the
case Of Dorr, as our readers are aware
has passed both Houses OF the General
Assembly, and the sacred Record Of
the Court has been mutlated. We
are not surprised that many members Of
the Democratic party voted tor the Act
and its untruthiul Preamble, because
they have manifested determination to
do anything and everything, whether
legal and constitutional, or not, 10 gratl-
the two factions Of the party. But we
were UNIV iIling to believe that man
like Charles S Bradley, the Senator
from North Providence, who has always
been respected by all as a gentleman Of
great integrity Of character and high
legal attainments, could SO lar forget
himself, as to vote Tor this Act and
Preamble. When the question was
first before the Senate, Mr.. Brad
ley refused to vote for the Pre-
amble and it was stricken out; the
House amended the Bill by adding a
Preamble which is more objectionable
than. that which ::'was first proposed in
the Senate when the Act went back
amendment, Mr. Bradley not only voted
TO concur, but made long speech in
favor OF the. Preamble and Act. How
could he have thus suddenly changed
his mind in regard to SO important a
matter
The Preamble asserts, ampng other
things, that Dorr was wrongtulIy con-
victed now Mr.. Bradley by his vote,
acquIcsces IN this statement. We should
like to know why MIR. Bradley shoulder
ed his musket in 1912, and aided III
suppressin the REASONABLE efforts Of
Dorr against the State We frequent
| ly saw him on guard at that time in the
streets Of the City OF Provid nee. An
expedition was fitted out ii Providence,
to cruise in Long Island Sound Tor the
purpose of intercep,ing Dorr, after he
ran away, as it vas supposed that he
had gone to New York TO obtain re.
Enforcement of men 20 aid in carrying
out his neiarious purposes this sane
Mr.. Bradley was volunteer IN this ex-
pediton. In fact there WAS no more
determined Law and Order man IN 1912
than Mr.. Bradley, aud no man who
more firmly believed that Dorr had com
mltled Treason against the State. Mr..
! Bradley is Democrat, and OF course II
was to be expected that he would act
steadily and promptly with his party on
all general questions But this is not
party matter; il ls rank Dorrlsm. AS
lawyer MIR Bradley very wei knows that
the Gcnersl Assembly have no controI
over the Records Of the Supreme Court,
and above all things that they have no
right 10 order ,he destruction oil the
whole or any portion of the Records
Mr.. Bradley has always been consider
ed sound and conservative man; but
by this act he will lose the confidence oil
the better portion oL the pc ople ol the
State, and ia future he will not hold the
position in their respect which he has
heretofore enjoyed. Ii Mr.. Bradley
thought that Dorr was guilty ol Treason
in IS42, on what ground can he now
iustify that act Of Dorr And il Dorr
was guilty IN Mr.. Bradley's estimation,
how can he conscientiously vote for
Gil! declaring null and void solemn
sentence Of the Supreme Court IN thls
respecty Upon this principle, in the
case Of Dorr, the General Assembly may
declare null aud VOID every Judgment
OF the Supreme Court, and order them
to be erased IRON The Records. Where
then is the security TO the rights ana
property OF the people OF Rhode Islam df

State arouse at the April election and
take their government from the hands
OF men who have 90 grossly and repeat.
