EXPLANATION FROM RHODE ISLAND.


PROVIDENCE, Jan. %, 1861.
On Tuesday the Rho1e Island Senate repealed our
Penonai Liberty act, and to-day the HOue went and
old iAewise. Uncer the directions Of Gov. Sprague,
both Houses performed their work with as much
"cleeIfulneas and slaerity' as Frank Pierce would
desire see manifested in upholdng the Fugitive Slave
law. But let not Northern sister States feel the
least encouragement in their Efforts 70 maintain their
own sefrespect because Of shameful Illumination.
Lee every body understand that the present Rhode
lsand Legislature does not represent the sentiments Of
tie Rhode Island people The Assembly ia not ours,
Int Gov. Spragues. IL IL "boHehten" concern, az
tie whole country knows The history Of last Spring
election finds parallel in that Of Rome, in ito most cor
rult period. AL over the State votes were openly
bought, without shame and without remorse. The
lusi,eis systematically planned and as delib-
erstey executed as the treason Of Cobb or the robbie
ries Of Floyd.

people stood then and they stand by the Chicago
Platform. They have no intention Of backing down
from their emphatic declaration at the polls. They are

manifest by the recent unanimous vote Of the STATE
Committee against the repeal of the Personal Liberty
law, ard their Reputation Of concessions TO ayowed
