nalf ‘The amount of work which Mr.
Greeley accomplished, was astonishingly
great. Hiscnergy was almost superh u-
man, He applied himself closely every
dayfrom fifteen to eighteen hours-—and
Viofteuer the latter than the former. Un-
der the editorship of such an indefatiga-
ble man, the Tribmz; could not but
thrive. It rose in circulation, and in the
estimation of the people rapidly. Men,
who bitterly opposed its politics, conce-
tledlits eminent ability. It was. the lead-
ing journal; of the Whig Party. It also
advocated yarious bcneficient reforms.-
Wa by no, ‘means defend the political
tcpursciof that journal, while it wasa
party organ. At last it cut loose the
trammels of party. and came out inde-
pcndcntlyito advocate such measures and
reforms as it honestly thought just, with-
out reference to party. And to day it
occupies this free, glorious position 3-
“-'hile the Tribune was a Whig
journal, it wus probably hated rnor¢
intensely by its enemies than any
other American journal. The eminent
abilities of Mr. Greeley, could not be
vigorously used :for party purposes, with,
out -drawing down upon him the hatred
of thousands. Few men have been more
abused than he-_—-few more cxecrated
than he by opposing politicians. It is
easy» enough to see why. He writes
nervously. graphically, intensely. He
has no soft words -for an enemy, but
-blurtl out what he conceives to be the
truth, as an Indian tomahawlrs a white
man. His vast energy combined with
his splendid writing talent, propenses
.him to annihilate an opposer. He has
withal, a capability we think, for unjust
prejudices against an enemy. This was
the case when he was younger, but of
late, theyseem to have died out of his
heart. But though as a writer, Mr,
Greeley,-is alwaysimpctuous, he is by
natureidcautious, almost cunning. We
think,-however, notwithstanding all the
suspicious political moves which he has
made in the pasrgthat few honester men
ever sat in the chair-editoris‘. He is one
of the most earnest men of the agc.—-

Connecticut Election.
It is probably now the policy of the

supporters of the Administration in Con-
gress, not to bring forward the Nebras-
ka Bill in the House until after the Con-
necticut Election. They dare not haz-
ard their party in this State on the vote
to that bill. If that bill is passed, as an
Administration measure, there are, many
honest men of the Democratic party in
the this State that go with the Adminis
tration no longer. ‘Will not this consid-
eration induce the Whigs in every totvn
to make unusual efl'orts for the support
of the cause ‘I Let us give the Adminis-
tration such a reproof from Connecticut

While the provision made fbr their

abuses which in substance and in form
are to a deplorable extent still retained

he would perform strictly every pledge, and
cnforco to the best of his ability the Maine
Law when we get it. We believe they thought
right.

But says it zealous temperance man, - did not
the County Temperance Convention last
Wednesday, throw Mr. Jones overboard and
nominate an independent ticket? They did:
and thereby greatly weakened tho probabilities
of the law, being enforccdiathis county. «They
will be apt to draw of!’ more votes from Mr.
Jones than from Mr. Barnum, and consequently
contribute to tho election of the latter, whose
actions belie all his professions of friendship to
the temperance cause. There is not the slight-
est possibility of the election ot'Mr. Hoy1—£bo
independent numinatlonaho is merely an out‘
lst for misguided seal to escape through.

What then is the duty of those who really
wish good to the temperance cause, particular.
ly of the temperance Whigs? Let us rsasoa
out an answer. It is certain that the best man
cannot be elected. It is nearly certain that
the worst man will be elected. There is, how-
ever a posssibility that a man, admitted by the
most radical temperance men to be honorable
and upright, can be elected if temperance vi)
ters will sustain him. Common sense‘ says,voto
for that run, “he the second best choice, do
not throw away your vote; use it to defeat a
traitor to his pledges, and a practical enemy to
the cause of humanity. B.

We trust our friends in every town will see
to getting their votes printed in time. Re-
member that J ustices of the Peace, as well as
other officers are to be chosen this year and the
lists should be made out immediately, and the
order sent for the tickets, that nothing be lost

than any other nominee in the County-

’ Bridgepo-I Standard.

 

Re‘:-acted, That the Ncnasaxa BILL
which has just passed the United States
Senate by a large majority, MEETS
OUR HEARTY APPROVAL-that
we believe the compact--so cslled—of
1520 to be unconstitutional and therefore
deserving to be treated as null and Void
--and that we believe the best govern-
mom a people can have,whether in state
or territory, to be self-government.

The Democrats of Fairtleld county are chain.
ed body and soul to the triumphal car of the
slave power. They are deserving the name of
freemer. no longer. The above resolution was
passed at a Senatorial Convention of the Demo-
crats of the 12th District, which met at Not.
walk, Marcli l5tli. If “ Mr. Nathan Roberts.”
who was nominated at that meeting, does not
get left so far behind in the election that he
cannot be found the next day. then we lose our
guest». The true freeman of I-‘nix-field county
and or’ the 12th District will never endorse the
.\'ebraska Bill under the silly pretence of its
uncoristltutionality, the advantages of which
the South have been enjoying for 34 ymr;_..
l‘he question of the passage of this M114; now
node an issue. Every Democratic Senator and
Representative elected will be counted upon as
Washington as friends of this bill. Every vote
given to Ssutrxti Ixoasx will be considered as
I vote given to this abominable measure of the
‘-dm‘-llistmtion. Will not thi voters of Con.
iecticuf learn wuat their duty is ‘I-Caura-nt.
