RHODE ISLAND

The Legislature of this State which adjourned Sa-
turday, passed resolutions concerning the Nebraska BILL
declaring that act to be violation of the public faith
impairing the condsace Of the people in the integrity
and honor of the National Government also, declaring
the fugitive slave law to be contrary to the spirit of
liberty and that it ought therefore to be amended
repealed.
Our readers will remember that in January last the
Rhode Island Legislature passed resolution reversing
and annung the judgment which was pronounced some
years by the Supreme Court of the State upon Thos
w. Dorr for treason. This gh-handed measure with
others of kindred character recled upon the heads of
the movers, and thrust them from power the next
election The present Legislature being strongly Whig
called upon the Supreme Court for an opinion upon the
constitutionay Of this act and that opinion has been
obtained and ordered to be placed upon record that it
may become part of the history of the State and copies
ALSO by resolution Of the Legislature ordered to
be Congress and the Governors of the several
States of the Union.
The Providence Journal states that the opinion is
cable, learned dgnifed and free from all passion, pre-
udce and aperty Its reasoning strong and clear
make strikingy apparent the Of
the in question and the gross usurpaton of the Le
gslature in passing it." Thus this attempt of the Dorr
ties obterate the record of their folly and guilt will
rebound upon them in another than that of dis
placing them from office and power which they have
abused. 1t will strengthen and confirm the judgment
pronounced against Them and extend the record of it far
and wide beyond the limits to which it has heretofore
been confined.
The Legislature this session agreed and voted to
submit to the people FIVE of nine articles, proposed at
previous session. for amending the constitution Of the
State The only important features of these amendments
those which dispense with the tax qualification for
voting which authorizes person to vote, who is other
wise qualified, upon having his name registered twenty
power from the Assembly to the Governors which change
the election day to the fourth Tuesday in March and
which change the migratory character of the Legislature

one ut Providence.-Boston Tdrelter.

We place before our readers this morning-re-
GREETING that we have been unable to do SO sooner
the excellent speech of the Hon. JOHN L. TAYLOR,
of Ohio on the Nebraska bill 1t is due to this
gentleman to say that we give the more heed to
his counsel on this question, and think it entitled
to more consideration throughout the South, from
the fact that in the trying contest of 1850 he was
one of those independent Representatives of the
North who at the peril Of political existence, stood
by the constitutional rights of the South fugitive
slave law and all. 1t was not, however, SO much
to date on the merits of the speech Of the esteemed
member of Ohio that we took up the pen, as it was
to notice briefly single passage which it contains.
In proceeding through this speech the reader will
meet with reference to gratuitous attack on the
National Intelligencer and its conductors by Mr..
T. L. CLINaMAN, a member from North Carolina,
in the course of speech which he delivered some
two or three months ago, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, on the Nebraska bill We could not
but hear at the time, of this wanton assaultndeed
a friend had the kindness to send us printed
copy of the speech with the calumnious passage
pointed out by black lines-and we read it,
we confess, with no little SURPRISE for unless never
having deemed the honorable members zig-zag
course of consequence enough for any notice was
an offence, we had done nothing to offend him j; we
had in no way crossed his extravagant aspirations
or said any thing even to wound his self-esteem.
On reading his gross attack we acknowledge that
we felt momentary impulse to repel the assault
and to infict a suitable rebuke on the assailant
but we recollected the rule which we received in
youth, with our first gun, never to shoot what was
not worth bagging; we therefore abstained, and
should have continued to abstain from any notice
of our honorable vilifer-the worst punishment
perhaps we could have inflicted on him-had we
not, in publishing the speech of Mr.. TAYLOR,
necessarily brought to notice in our own columns
the insulting imputations of the member from
North Carolina. Our only answer now is, that we
plead to the jurisdiction. We took the trouble, as
our readers will remember, to reply to allegation
which the honorable Mr.. STEPHENS incautiously
made in the House the consistency Of the National
Intelligencer, in which we must have satisfied that
gentleman himself Of his error; but this is a mark
of respect which cannot pay to every assailant
however high the position from which he may happen
to have the power of making his assault We might
easily dispatch the charges Of the member from
North Carolina by replying, first that what he says
about aristocracy, liberty, and despotism nonsense
and secondly, that in the entire course of the
Intelgencer in regard to foreign questions, up to
the time when the member deserted the Wings and
went over to the Democrats, the Intelligencer had
the approval and support of the member himself
but we forbear.
