Description: A polemic applauding Democratic support of the Dorrite cause in Rhode Island. Title: "TYRANTS PROSTRATE LIBERTY TRIUMPHANT." Text of the quotes. Dallas: "As sure as a God of Justice rules on high he will be free." Fame: "Speed the sound O'er all your plains The Martyr's freed from shameful chains! Around his brow will freemen twine A glorious wreath of myrtle vine! Our Polk obey the people's call; The Tyrant sees his shackles fall! And every son of Liberty Shout long live Dorr the great the Free!" Polk: "The people will speak in tones of thunder yet, they brook no old King's charter, to enchain true patriots!" Dorr: "The process of this Court does not reach the man within, From this sentence of the Court I appeal to the People of our State and our Country!" Clay: "Alas! alas! when Dorr is free King Charles charter will be destroyed, and with it the last British form of Government in these States. and the last hope of our Aristocracy for the people will have triumphed!" Frelinghuysen: "Ah my master say not so for then Church and State will never be united!" Webster: "Yes they will If we join the American Party, and raise a Protestant succession on the ruins of Popery."
