REPORT
Of the Directors of the New York, Providence and
Boston Ravlroad Company, to the Stockholders, at
their Annual Mecting on the 24th Sept., 1544,
Gesxteemes—ln erler to understand fully the
resent situation of the company, it may be nse
fnn to glance very bricfly at the promirent facts
of its history : :
The road was opened for travel in the month of
November, st a cost of §2.600,000
This snm was derived (rom—
First, capital stock of 13,000 shares,
of $lOO ench, £1,300,000
Second, loans on bonds of the com
pany, secured by lst, 2d, and d
morigages, say 1.500.000
£2,0600,000
As early as March Ist, 1830, the trustees, un
der the second and third mortgages, took posses.
sion of the road, in consequence of the falure of
the company to pay either the principal or the
interest of the loans which had become duoe 5 and
it remained in their hands nearly five years, duar
ing all which time the embarrassients of the com
p:u:lv continued, and the interest eonld not be
paid. Suits were bronght, and judzments ob.
tained against the company—its engines and cars
were attached—and at one time there was dunger
that the operations of the road would be suspend
ed altogether. Under these circnmstances, the
directors were anviously engaged in devising
some plan for the reliel’ of the company, and at
length the present board reported to a special
meeting of stockhoklers, on the 12th July, 1543,
theie belief that a compromisc conld bhe effected,
whereby the debt of the company, then amonnt
ins. with interest, te about 81,900,000, could be
reduced 1o abent one-third.
The stockholders approved the snggestion, and
“anthorized and reguested” the directors to carry
it into effect ; and at thetr annual meeting, on the
26th of Septewber last, the anthority and request
were renewed. Under the special anthority and
instrections thue given by e stockholders, the
directors isstied ew beuds to the amount of
£650,000, bearing interest at six per cent. per
annum, and secured by a mortgage on the whale
property, tools and revenues of the company n
trust to Elisha Peck, Matthew Morgan, and Wil
liam 8, Wetmore. The wortgage and the bonds
were prepared and exceuted under the advice of
eminent legal counsel in New York, Pennsylva
nia, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Such pro
gress was made by the directors in exchanging
iliese new bonds for the old bonds at 50 per cent,
on their face, and in paying the jndgments against
the company by new bonds maturing infrow one
1o six years, that on the 10th of December last,
the trustees under the three old mortgages exe
cuted releases to the company, and the directors
retook possession of the road, and of all the com
pany’s pruper}y. Since then, the settlement of
the old debts of the company hus been completed,
with trifling exceptions, so that the directors are
«atisfied that the total debit will not exceed 5550,-
000—the amount of the new bonds issned under
and secured by what is now a first and only mort
gage.
S iu the bonds bear interest from Augnst Ist,
1343, payable semi-annually. One year's inter
est has already becowe due aud been paid; and
210,000 principal (being the amonnt of short
bonds given in settlement of judgments that full
due this year,) has also been paid.
The business of the yeur ending August 3lst,
1544, has been as follows :
Cash in the bhands of Trustces and Treasnrer,
August 31, 1543, $10,217 71
Receipts from ail sources during the
year, 154521 02
#100,041 73
Lxpenditures under the old trusts,
and under the administration of the
directors, as explained below, 166,401 62
Balance on hand, $3,540 11
The receipts consist of
Pumfie money, $102,135 70
i'reight, 49,760 50
lents and mail service, 12,524 70
—§ 154,724 02
The expenditures are divided into two clusses,
VIZ i
i. Those growing out of the old busimess and
closing up of the old trusis, and 1L those per
taining to the carrent business, viz :
1. Exzprases under old contracts.
Law expenses under the old trusis, compensa
tion to trustees, and contingzent expenses under
the old contructs, 320,230 02
Cash paid in settlement of
claims at an average of
about 37 per eent , 15,255 21
Salances paid in exchange
of old bonds, 490 B 2
Land damages unpaid since
the opening of the road, 3587 76
——544,620 22
2. Current expenses,
General miscel
laneous expen
sessalaries, & c $49,970 05
iepairs of road,
engines, and
cars, 17,608 42
—— 217,630 08
New turn outs
and new care, 5,035 97
Contributions paid 1o other
Boston routes under the
general agreement, being
an overplus of receipts by
our road, 2,201 25

new bonds, 10,000 00
—-= 106,806 10

Tt will thus be seen that, besides paying the in
tererest un l? mew bonds and a portion of the
principal, and” all other current charges and ex
penses, a suin has been paid for old arrears which
would have authorized a dividend of 3 per cent.
on the par value of the shares. The directors
therefore may congratulate the stockholders upon
the prospect that, Lefore the next sonual meet.

further reduced, and the receipts be iucreased by
the progressive business and pro<perity of the
country.
The number of free passages over the road in
the {ear ending August 31, 1542, was 3307, wnd
for 1845 was 2051 ; but in the yearending Auzus

'l‘n new bonds stand thus:

Bedeemed August 1, 1344, 10,000
640,000
For the gradnal extingnishment of these bonds,
a sinking fund has been established, and it is
made obligatory upon the trustees by the terms
of tie worigage 10 sce that it is faithiuily applied.
It consists of the balunce left from an annual ap
propriation of $30,000 aiter piying the interest
on the ontstandmz bonds; and, of course, this
fand is continnally inercasing as ihe interest di
winishes b{ the annval redemption of bonds, It

this purpose. I, therefore, the holders of the

The whole of the acts and proceedings of the di
rectors relative to the compromises wade and the
new bowds and mortgages issued, were submiited
in lall detail to the stockhaders at their special
meeting ou the 10ih of May last, when wore than
three-foarths of all the shares were represented ;
and resolutions were unsnipionsly adopted, ap
proving, confirming and ranfying all that the Ji
rectors had done in the prewmises.
The whoate road from Stouington to Providence
is in good ranning order, and every portion of it
fs frequently examined, and grmlunl'y renewed
where necessary, so asto preserve its high char

Jersey Steam Navigaton Company, whose splen
did steminers have been so long connected with
us—with the Long Kkland Ruilroad Company,
with whowm, on the opening ol their road, a con

permanent, on terims 'uuluully advantageons, and
with other Railroad companies on the main routes
from New York to Boston, G
Amwong the items of expenses is one which
shows that onr road contunties to be a favorite
with the publie, viz: the sum of two thousand
two hundred and one dollars and twenty-five
cents, paid to the companies on the Norwich and

“adopted at the Mass Meeting at Kingston, on the
| Istinstant: after their passage anumber of letters,
received from citizens in ditfferent parts of the
| country, who had been invite!l 10 attend were
| read to the meeting.
' Resoleed, "That by the great st-uzgle for Ameri
can Lberty, commenced by our forelathers, in
1776, o which they pledged their hives, fortnnes
and sacred honors, tie sovercignty of the people
on the right i thens to constitute government, and
of their perfect political equality, were the great
fonndation upon which the suuggle which tri
umphed in onr fuvor, rested vpon: That the
power to mstitute and reform & government is
Cone thing, and rests entirely in o clear majority
of the people s but that the lzishitive power is
another thing. and only forms ore branch of a
Cgovernment, and can act only nnder such limita-
CLious as is given by the sovereign power in its
fundamental law.
Resoleed, That as the legislative power cannot
control the sovereign power (n in-tituting or re
forming government, so also canno: the sovereign
power, or the people, either in wiole or in part,
either colleetively or in divisions, overturn or
annal legislative acts : and it is clear thatall laws,
however bad, must be repealed or amended by
the same branch of the goveinment that made it.
Lesoleed, "That in view of these prineiples, we
do most sincerely contend, that THOMAS WIL
SON DORR was duly elected the Governor of
Rhode Island 5 and that his 040, condemnation
und tmprisonment has taken place in this State,
in direct violation, and upon the nter prostration
and repudiation of every principle of American
right and American justice,
Resoleed, That as true Democrats, we view
with lively joy and satisfuction, the certain success
of JAMES K. POLK, as Prosident, and of
GEORGE M DALLAS, as Vice President of
these United States,
- Lesoleed, "That our opponents, who prafess to
be the esclusive friends of the protective system
and of Awerican labor, should remember that
there s, at present, but one great and leading
in‘erestin this Union=that that interest is the
agricalinral interest—that all legislation which by
protection operates asa |ml|l||_\‘ Lo any miuor in
terest, does it atthe sacrifice of this great interest—
that the true policy ol any couniry is, to so shape
Cits political economy, that the exports of its great
interest should command the greatest possible
value in foreign marsets,
| Resolved, That so long us Great Britain has the
dominion of the eurrency of the commercial world,
the laws of trade und of commerce will neutralize
ull protective legislation that we may attempt to
extend to any minor interest, and consequently
- decrease the aggregate vaiue of cur great export

Resoleed, That we continue onr deor and heart

HICKORY RAISING AT FRUIT HILL.
Nonru Provipesce, Oct. 5, 1544,
The Democraiic citizens of Fruit Hhll and its
vicinity, agreeably to previoas arrangements, as
scembled this day, for the purpose of erecting a
Hickory Pole, which raises its towering height
upwards of ninety feet, with a splendid I'lag, 32
by 164 feet, with the names of Polk & Dallus
and Dorr & Liberty—l776—with thirteen Stars on
it, with one lone Star for Texas. Lemuel Angell
was chosen to preside at the meeting, and Ste
phen Whipple secretary. When the breeze of
Leaven wafted the splendid banner with its motto
to view, three long and hearty cheers which rent
the air and wade the hills to echo, were given for
Polk and Dallas, three for Gov. Dorr, and three
for the Ladies of Fruit 1111, who so nobly assist
ed in procuring the flag now waving over ns,—
The Chainran having in a brief mauner alluded
to the object of the meeting, introduced Francis
(', Treadwell, Lsq. who addressed the meeting
in a manner highly gratifying to the meeting, who
greeted him with many hearty cheers,
After the remurks of the Chairman the meet

Remarks of the Chairman, Lemuel Angell,
Preirow Crrizess i—l beg you to indulge me
with your attention for a faw wmoments, while |
shall i a plain and simple wmanoer give you my
views nl'l‘m tines and the occasion for which we
hnve assembled together this day. Yon behold,
ladies and gentlemen, the noble standard by your |
efforts now just erected, with its splendid and no
ble pennant waving with the gente breezes of
heaven, as an emblem of true hiberty ; but not
such liberty as was wmeted out to some of onr
brethren about two years ago, when they were
ticd together by their Algerine tyrants and march |
ed like slaves, from Acote’s l{ill to the gloomy
cell of a State penitentiary, and there confined
withont law or justice, simp:‘v for attempting to
exercise those inherent, indefeasible and unalien
able rights, which God gave to them, and the
Declaration of Independence, and the Coustitu
tion secures to them, * I this is treason, make |
the most of it,”" ye proud tyrants. No, I mean
that kind of liberty which considers all mankind |
by nature and binth equal. And now let ns s
one moment view and dnly consider that tall pole,
which but a few days past was standing lin yonder
lorest, und the broad sheet lying dormant on the
Jhell of the draper And what, | ask, could one
perenn alone have done towards erecting that
standard 1 2 ou will all, I trust, say nothing could
he done. ""[ no.v h\.‘hold what effcets ll"ily
hath accomplished! By sirength and united en
ergy, you have brought that tree from the neigh
boring forest, and the imposing sheet ihat waves
#0 nobly to the breeze of freedom, and combiin
ing thew together as an altar of incense to that
God that gave Freedom and Independence to our
patriotic fathers—that He in the plenitude of his
mercy wonld aid us, in onr humble endeavors to
“obtain our just and equal nghts,
~ DBeloved (riends, yon have all of you taken
either longer or shorter journeys alone, and
how strong, cheerful, and joyons you would
pass on your way, if by chance you found a kind
friend 1o associate with, and to accompany you.
Or if passing through a strange land to find kind
and sympathising friends to entertuin you. So
is it with our true Democratie friends when they
shall pass along by those towering altars, by us
erected, they «hall serve as beacons to point ont
to them their fricuds ; and they shall thereby take
new strength and fresh courage to persevere in
that glorious cause, the freedom and sovereignty
of the people, in which we are now so eagerly
cngugc«r ‘ly friends of equal rights, like Leon
idas’ band, be ye resolved, that il you perish in
the attempt to obtain freedom, to be like the pa
triotic Dorr—die in the just cause of equal and
indiseriminate rights of man.
Gentlemen, the glaring cagiuln on thet noble
standard, at the summit of that tall spar, tell to
you in prophetic terms, that you will soon be cal
led upon to exercise one of the most noble and
dearest rights of man—l mean that of selecting
from among the people, one for your head or
governor. And Lence let me strongly impress it
npon your minds, the strong necessity of union ;
for the strongest ties of interest cry aloud to ns,
in a voice like thunder, g 2 ve vsaten ! for divi
sions will inost essuredly slip the slave’s eollar
upon your necks. Therefore be entreated by
one that feels for you, to unite heart and hands ;
and as yon have suceeeded in selecting from the
neighboring forest, Jynndur lofty pole, so in like
manner you can and most assuredly will select
from the soil of Tennessee and old Pennsylvania,
a wore noble beacon, which shall be on the 4th
of March nexu transplanted from their present
domicils to the White Hounse in the Distriet of
Columbia—there to stand as true and faithiu) sen
tinels of a just and ewlightened people, before
whowmn tyrants and old blue-light federalists, mod
ern whigs and coons, shall cower like mastiffs
caught in the sheep fold. And brethren, do not
stop then, thinking your work is nceomplished,
but through the long nights and dreary days of
the approaching Winter, think of the solitary and
forlorn situation of the generous and patriotie
Doir—speak olten to, and nrge and cheer each
other on, to be cemented together in unity and
concord, for the c:nmlitulionnf liberation of that
pure patriot, that he may once more inhale the
pure and unadulierated nir, free from the stench
of the felon's cell ; and to accomplish which, let
e entreat of you, as you prize your own free
dom and that of a fellow being not to let any
minor consideration swerve you from the true
path of virtne and rectitude, {mt be united, and
claim that most noble and inherent privilege of
man, to think and act for himself; but let justice
1o yoursell, and to your country alone, incite
you to unite at _the ballot box to cast your votes
for those wen for office, and for those nlone, that
are for the unconditional liberation of Thomas
Wilson Dorr; and who will speak out with a
voice of the speaking trumpet of the Archangel,
and proelaim Liberty 1o the eaptive=throw open
the prison doors, and say to the innocent prison
ner, Thomas Wilion Dorr go free.

YOI THE HERALD,
TO TAX PAYING VOTERS.
“Onee registered, always registered.”
I wish to eall the attention of the people of this
State 10 the general construction put npon the
election law coscerning registered voters. The
opinion is very general, if not universal, that if a
man has once registered under the present con
stitution, he is tonsidered as having complied
with that provisien of the eleciion law, uud is not
reqnired to register, nuless he loses his residence
Therclore any person who has been registered,
but neglected to pay his taz, can become a voler
for the year 1845, by paying two tazes—the tax
for this year and the tax for next year ; as the tax
for each year must be paid in the year previous
to voting.
I hope measures will be taken immediately, to
see that every Democrat who is otherwise quali
fied, shall be informed upon this peint, and in
duced to pay his tax or taxes, and thus be pre
pared to vote next Spring. Meetings should be
called in each ward of the city, and in every town
and school distriet in the State, and committees
appointed 1o cause the names of persons who
have never been registered under this constitn
tion, to be registered immediately, so that they
will be qualificd to vote as soon as they have gain
ed & residence by paying their taz, It costs noth
ing to register the names. Every mn’s name
should be pot upon the registry as soon as he ar
rives in the State, or us soon as he is old enough
to do military duty. .

THAT LETER OIT HENRY TO CASSIUS.

“I should'nt care what you promised to the
Abolitionists of the State of New York in my
name, it it did not destroy my prospects in
the South! You may lie as much as you

or immediate, or any thing—gull them, trick
them, cheat them by any means into voting
for me if you can, but don’t, for God's sake,
don't let it be known so as to commit me st
the South. You know the secret understand
ing we had, Cassius, before vou left me to go
on your missionary tour! You know how |
cautioned you aboui my prospects in the
South—you were so anxious to get the aboli
tion vote of New York, for that was the object
of your mission, for which you were to receive,
you know what, afterwards, if I were success
ful—=that yes« &2id mare than you ought to
have said until after the Georgia election !

All Hail Pennsylvania !
Democracy Onward !
PENNSYLVANIA SURE FOR POLK !
The news received yesterday in this city gave
‘a very different aspect to the result of the Penn.
sylvania election from that which eome to hand
‘the day previons, and ehanged the high exnla.
tious of the Whigs into the most deplorable de
pression. The Whigs were elated at the news
that Ihe city and county of' Philudelphia had giv
‘en amajority of about 6 or 7000 for their candi
date, Markle, which majority was prodoced by a
corrupt eonlition between the Native Americans
and Whigs; and extras were issued from the col
lege straet press to convey the nnexpeeted intel
ligence of a gain amongst their crednlons read
ers, to raise their drooping spirits, and inspire a
faint hope that Clay might be elected. Thathope
was vain, and of short duration, and, on the arri
val of this morning’s wmail, was entirely dissipated,
by later and more extensive returus. DBy the
coalition, the Whigs promised their support to
the Native American candidates for city and conu
ty officers, and the Native Americans supported
the Whig candidate for Governor. The Whigs
proved faithless to their part of this eorrupt bar
gain, and with their characteristic disregard of
promises and compacts, when the performance
of them interferes with their interests, contrived
to swindle the natives out ol the benefit they were
to derive on their part, from the bargain, and we
are informed by a gentleman from Philadelphin,
that the democratie portion of the Native Ameri
cans are so highly exasperated, that this unnatur
al union will exist no longer
’ By the news, which arrived here on Thursday
evening and yesterday morning, the Whig ma.
!jori(y has been greatly reduced, so that their pa
pers adwit the certainty of the clection of the dem
ocratic candidate for Governor. The evening
edition of Thursday’s Journal of Commerce gives
returns from twenty four counties, making the
| aggregate—for Markle (Whig) 43,303—S8hunk
J(dem.) 41,762, That paper thus closes its ac
i count of this election, as fur as heard from,
Whig wmaj. thas far. ... ..........1,546
Dew. way. in same counties in 1340- 246

P. S.—Reports by the Erie R. Road say Pike
co. has given Shunk 501 Muium( i Wavne 600,
and Susquebannah 600, very nearly. "Total 1703,
In 1240 the same counties gave Van Buren 1365

"'hin gives Shunk, Dem.. in the 24 counties
heard from, a majority of 158,
In 1241 the Dem. majority in the State was 23,.
0035 in 1340 the Whig major ty was 343,
Some of the above returns are not exaet, but
they are near enough te the mark for general pur
oses. It will be noted that compared with the
r’renidumi:tl eleetion in 1840, the Whig gain of
53068 in !'hil.nd«lphiu city and county, ims been
reduced to 1792 in the other nineteen connties
heard from. In other words, while the Whigs
have gained 5862 on the Governor, in the eity
and county of Philadelphia, by the wid of the
American Republicans,—they have lost, compar
ed with the same election, 4076 in the other coun
ties heard from. Tt is plain that if llm')' continne
to lose in the same ratio in the rest of the Siate,
Shunkis elected by a considerable wajority. But
this is a question of fict, which the rctarns will
decide in due time.

From the best information we can get of this
election, we judge the Democratic eandidate for
Governor will receive from 7,000 to 10,000 mas
jority.
The New York Tribune (Whig) says,
“ Pennsylvania— Markle probably defeated —Our
retarns by Lxpresses and otherwise last evening,
do not sustain the hopes justified by our first news
from Philadelphia, and it now seems that Markle
is defeated by a small majority.”
The Boston Post speaks in this cheering strain,
Most gloriously have some of the connties met
the enemy. Berks has inereased her democratie
majority over 1840 six hundred ; Schuylkill has
done nobly, going from 303 democratie in 1840 to
1150 ; Bucks, whig by 217 in 1340, is now demo
cratic by 300. These are cheering signs—the
democracy of these and of other counties have
done nohl)_;v. If returns come in from the imerior
as strongly as those we publish to-day indicate,
the democracy of the Iw(nlono state will have
covercd themselves with glory. She will be set
down as safe for Polk and Dallas as Maine or
New Hampshire is considered to be!

NEW JERSEY ELECTION.
This election was held on Tuesday and Wed
nesday last, and terminated in the election of the
Whig candidate, Charles C. Stratton, as govern
or by a wmajority of about 1000. The democratic
candldate, Thompson, was far from being a pop
ular man in his own party, having so managed in
his offices connected with the public works, as to
disgust a large number of demoerats, who wounld
not support him under any circamstances. The
election of governor, therefore is not a safe crite.
rion for judgivg what may be the electoral vote.
797 It appears that the Johnston Philosopher,
Senator Simmons, has been taking the stump in
Philadelphia and mingling with the church burn
ers to influence the election in favor of the Clay
candidates. Not long since the midoight deeds
of outrage of the Philadelphia Native Americans
were denounced by tne Journal, as Dorrism ; and
now we perceive that Sinmnons, as a * law and
order issionary from this State, is mingling
with that same party who are known as church
burners in Philadelphia, and convent burners in
Massachnsetts, to aid them in their war against
equal rights, and to promote the canse of Henry
Clay. The Whigs and the church barners of
Philadelphia have formed a coalition, and Sena
tor Simmons as a representative of the Whig
party of Rhode Island was present to witness
and approve the contract !

THE LIBERATION OF O'CONNELL.
T'here has been a singular parallel beiween the
cases of Gov. Dorr and Duniel O'Connell, from
their incipient stages 1o the time of their impris
onment. They were both considered by their re
#pective govermmnents us agitotors, and disturbers
of the pnblie peace designing to effect a reformn,
and to change the establishied order of things, by
overawing the constitnted anthorities by an array
of numbers ; they were hoth indicted, and tried
before Courts, who thonght themselves bound to
conviet thew, at ull events: both were tried by
packed juries, in O'Connell’s case, all catholics
being exeluded, and in Dore’s ull democrats were
excluded. Challenges to the mray of juries, were
in both cases overruled and both were convieted
by prejndiced triers and sentenced to imprison
ment. Shall the parallel end here, by the fact
that one is liberated, while the other 15 continned
in prison? or will our legislutare, assuming the ex
ample set oy the Dritish Honse of Lords, as a pre
cedent, pass an act granting to Thowas Wilson
Dorr un unconditional discharge from prison?
If our legistature shall deeline the passing of
such an aet, then we say that the boasted superi.
ority of our government over that of Great Brit
ain, is a were sham, a ** rhetorieal flourish,” a
vain delusion.
The New York Sun of Saturday has these re
marks i relation to the news of O'Connell’s lib
eration: "
The reveraal of the judgment in the case of O'.
Connell, and his consequent release frow prison,
together with his associates, have no doubt as
tounded the people of Englind, the British Gov
ernment and all Lumpe. but it is a wmutter of’ no
surprise to the people of this country. Attached
as his countrymen here are to him and to his
cause, they were perfectly satisfied that when the
case ‘was submided to the Court of vltimate jnris
diction the Law Lords would at once vote for the
reversal of the judgment. Accustomed as we are
here to leok at a sunple legal guestion in ils true
light, and withont political biag, no one could
doubt thut the refusal of the Court to allow the
challenge 10 the array, vitiated and rendercd nall
and void the whole proceedings, and thit no trial
shonld be allowed 10 proceed when objections
had been made to the jury hist. The challenge
to n jury is the highest prerogutive, and indeed
the only safetv, to the accnsed, and the Irish
Judges should not have permitted the trial w pro
ceed under the circumstances of the case It is
at all events honorabile to the Supreme Judges
and the House of Lords, that no political fesling
was allowed to the reversal oIP the decision,
Some of the points in O'Connell’s case apply to
Gov. Dorr, and we hLope the government of R.

by the British Government,

sympathy of the Democracy. We have already
pnblished the accounts of the procecdings of sev
eral democratic meetings in Southern States, and
bave on hand many others which we shall publish
as fust as possible—all breathing a decided tone
of hostility and execration against the tyranunical
Algerines of Rhode Island. We give in this day's
paper, from a large collection on hand, a couple
of paragraphs [rom Southern editors.
There was an immense mass meeting at
Providence, Rhode Island, on the 4th of Sep
tember, at which from 40,000 to 50,000 per
sons are said to have been present, to express
sympathy with Thomas W. Dorr, and take
counsel as to the best mode of effecting his
early deliverance from the living grave to
which the tyranny of the Rhode Island rulers
has consigned him. It is a cause which ap
peals to every heart. There is not a déspot
ism in Eurnpe—hardly one in Asin—which has
ever treated a political captive, a prisoner of
State, with the cold-blooded refinement of ma
lignant torture which the whig authorities of
‘Rhode Island have heaped upon Mr. Dorr,
for beliving, with a very large number of the
people of Rhode Island, that the docirines of
the Declaration of Independence were of
*praxctical value in that State. We allude to
the subject for the purpose of introducing the
following short letter, written to the commit
tee of invitation, by George Bancroft, of Mas
sachusetts. It is a lucid summary of the
whole case; and every sentiment strikes like a
battle-axe, on the side of justice and humanity,
agnainst meanness, malice, and cowardly op
pression.—Mobile Register.
Remember that Thomas W. Dorr was con
victed by a packed jury of Federalists in R.
Island, and that he is now in solitary confine
ment in the same dungeon with robbers and
murderers—for daring to attempt to carry ont
the doctrines of the declaration of American In
dependence.. Rememberthat Henry Clay re
