Rhode Island. Gov. Kinj has issucd
a Proclamation suspcnding Martial Law.
until the first of September; thus doing
away at once the plea that the Iaw was kept
np to ovcrawo thc election for Delegalcs to
form a new constitution. "For thc purposo
of enabling the people to proceed, without
rcstraint, in dischargo ofthe impmtant ciril
duties soon to como bcfore them, martial
law is guspended. No arrests have latclv
bcen made under it, and no persons aro now
: dctained by its authonty." J ho pumsh-
ments have a'.l bcen undcr thc civil Iaw. Tho
Governor says further, "We have achieved
, yjc,0 for ,ha cau f, wh;ch
.. . r,,;t 7. r i
comcs tlw mcnof Rhode Island ; noblysus-
taining the cause of well regulated ciri.
liberty, a3 thny ever havo sustained that of
rnoral and ruligious frcedom." He enjoins
upon the niiliiary still to hold ihcmselves in
readiness to obey promptly any call which
may be madc for the support of Iaw and
order.
fe"By law all prrsons in Rhode hland,
wiihout rejard to property, may vote for
delegntes to the Conveniion for forming a
new Constitution. There is a qualitication
witli rcgard to residence 3 years in the
