variance with the spirit of our Republi-

’ "Know-Nothins Platform-

The following is given in the New
York Times, as the platform agreed up-
on in the State Council of the Americans
of New York State: A

Resolved, That Slavery, like Pal-"Icy.
is a moral. social and political evil-81

can insiitutions, and repllguallt to the
prinoiples of freeman; that it 15 Om‘ till-
ty to resist its extension. find -till" -_We_.
cannot, as Americans, consent to the ad-
mission to the Union of any new States
whose Constitution recognizes’ human
bondage. -
Resolved, That no adult Alien can
eradicate the teaching and prejluiicesof
youth, and become familiar with the tea-
chings of our government, except by pa-
tient and perseve-ring study ; lbat no
person should he entitledto exercise: the
elective franchise who has not been a res-
ident of the" United States for t_wenty-
one years.
Resolved, That thecivil, religious and
political privileges Americans concede
to others, should be by others conceded
to Americans; that no commercial not
diplomatic intercourse should be quain-
tained with anyforeign government that
prohibits freedom of speech and freedom
of religious opinion. " - -
‘Resolved, That the peaceful enjoy-
ment of our rights is best‘ secured" by a
constant readiness and ability to resist
eucroachmients: that Republics can on.
ly secure respect from abroad and trau-
quility at home, by a timely, consistent
and determined redress of all wrongs in-
flicted on our citizens by the despotic
rulers of foreign powers.

i Resolved, That freeman can be prepa-
red for the rights of—citi2cnship only by
thorough ‘education; that-it is the duty
of Government tolnaintain free schools,
where republican sentiments should be
taught and enforced. ~
" Resolved, That the Holy Bible furn-
ishes the purest teachings of morality,
virtue, honesty and pali‘i0iism~; that is
the “Book of Books,” and should have
the first place on our household altars.
Resalvzd, That by sobriety, the foster-
ing of home industry, the encouragement
of domestic improvements, and judicious
economical expenditures, we may secure
the prosperity of the country; and the
successful development of the principles
of Republican Government.‘

Resolved, That the ‘Temperance en-
terprise is one worthy‘ of ‘cnrdial_ support
and that we "will in no case be drawn
into any course of actionwhich will in»-
terfere with its progress.

 

03:‘ The N. Y. Evening Post tells
the Wasllington Union that the only
way for the Administration to put down
the troublesome Know Nolhinga is for
it to act with wisdom and discretion, and
originate only such measures as are for
the real interest: of the country. The
Providence Journal says that this recom-
mendation is like advice given by the
physician toa pauper, to use chicken
broil: and Madeira \Vlne—all very good
and useful, but when is lie to get it ?

 

The State Fair.

The Committee of the Slate Agricul-
ral Society has decided, after examining
the propositions, to hold the next Fair
at Hartford. The Fair will be held the
second week in October.

[]3"' The Mitldletown Democratic
News, speaking of the Hartford Times’
opposition to the liquor law, says:

“One word more. The Times has
been regarded par excellmte, as the or‘-
gan of the Democraliq party in Connec-~
ticut. Now if the editor chooses to build
his political platform on the bung hole
of a" rum cask, and stand on it, we have
nothing l0 say; but when he attempts
to commit the whole party in the State
to the same platform in the name of De-
mocracy, we demur,” "

3:?” The new Prohibitory Liquor Bill
passed the Senate of Massachusetts, last

made either for or against it. . It is much
more stringent than the present law of
the State, impiisoning the liquor seller
for the first offence. '

vetoed the bill that aulhorized the pur-
chase uf 1600 copies of We-h5ter’s Dic-
tionary for the school districts of the

316 shares of Naugatuc Railroad Stock

The Rights of Colored Peaple —I,n
the-case of a respectable colored woman
ejected from the cars of the Third Ave-
nue Railroad, by the conductor, an ac-
count of her color, Judge Rockwell, 9f
the Circuit Court, charged as follows :

“That the Company were liable for
the acts of their ageiils, whelher com-
mitted carelessly and neg-ligzcntly, or
wilfully , and maliciously ; that they
were common carriers, and as such
boundto carry all respectaihlo persons :
that colored persons if sclier, well belza-’
ved, and free of disease, had the same
right as others, could neither be exclu-
(led by aay rules qf the.C'ompa7zy, nor
by,/orce or violence; and in case of such
expulsion or exclusion, the Company was
liable." "

The complhinant obtained a verdict
of $225, (halfths amount claimed,) to
which the Court added ten per cant. be-

sides the costs. . ,

 

Important to Postmaster: and to the
P-u.blz'c.--We are requested to call espec
ial attention to the law just passed by
Congress, modifying the rates of postage,
etc, particularly to those provisions requi-
ring that all letters between places in the
United States ‘shall be prepaid from and
after the lot of April, 1855, by stamps or
otherwise, and that from and after the I.-t
of January next postmatiters must place
postage stamps upon all prepaid letters
upon which Ellchtslamps may not 1...‘.-
been placed by the writer:-, or which
may not be inclosed in stamped envel-
opes. _ \ '

From and after the lot ‘of April, 1865.
the postage to be charged on each single
letter for any distance in the United
States, not exceeding 3,000 miles, is three
cents. and over 3,000 miles 10 cents.

The law does not charge the existing
rates or regulatioiis in regard to letters
to and from Canada or other foreign coun-
lflefi. nor does itaffeot the {ranking privi-
lege. . .

The Whig Resolutions.
The resolutions by the Wllig Conven-
tion were of the right stamp and from
the gendine metal. They inay be briefly
enumerated under the several heads ofa
support to the Temperance Law; an ap-
position to the arbitrary exercise of the
veto Power; a determination to resist
the farther eucroachmenta of slavery or

and an advocacy of the Arrtericmt p.~t....

openly enlisted on the side of the sale of:
intoxicating drinks, and publicly "nave
professed ‘their determination to repeal
the Prohibitory Statute. The two par-
ties on this point, are at issue, and the
voters of Connecticut are called upon to
choose" between the advocates and the
opposers of a law which has commended
itself so strongly to the feelings of good
men. 011 one side; there will be De-
mocracy, Rum, and the unlimited sale

rupt the young; and on the other, Con-
servatism, the preserVail°fl ‘ll SW5 °“i’3"
and sobriety. will the“? be 3321 ‘mil’
cully of choice 1’

The Whigs are opposed not to the
existence of a veto power in Government
but to its exercise. They wish to limit
it to cases that are uliconstitutional in the
opinion of the Executive, not merely
inexpedient. “Its present use is placing
too much legislative power In the hands
of one man. A

The Whig party of Connecticut feel
thatxthe power of the slave" holding
states ought not to be increased, because
it is exercised against the dictates of gen-
eral humanity, and against the interests.
of the North. They desire’ that Liberty
on the American soil, should be a reality
as well as a name; and that lhc Ameri-
can flag should float only over the free.
Whal_"the"y do on the subject of slavery,
they will do constitutionally, but are hos-
tile to its increase beyond its original
limits..- For this reason, they denounce
an unworthy son of the State who. in
his high place, has deserted the princi-
ples of freedom, and_ joined himself to
the. advocates ol slavery to work out its
behcats.

Not the least important or the least
significant of these public declarations,
is the one advocating the Americcm sys-
tem. To supply our own wants inde-
pendently of foreign la'oor—-to pay the
operatives on our ow}: soil and in our
own workshops, the money which we
now expend for foreign goods—-to gov-
ern ourselves by our own votes without
the iuterfer-ence of ignorant and prejudi-
ced foreigners-—-to reserve “America for
Americans—-‘these are worthy the princi-
ples of a great party and fit to be incor-
porated into their solemn, state resolu-
tions. n

The support of these resolutions and
the success of these principles require
the united action of the party. \l\’c true!
it will be given. We advocate TEMPER-
ANCE Faennor-i, and Aiiir:iuc;-.uis:.i. It is
a glorious banner under which to rally
aud to fight! It will be successful.

An important Liquor Case.
An interesting liquor case has been on

trial at Hartford since last Tuesday.»-
David Clark, the Great Mogul of all the
liquor sellers, and the man who for two
or three years elected Thomas H. Sey-
mour Governor, hea been arrested for
selling liquor in violation of the law, and
some 4000 dollars worth of liquors
seized on his preinises. It is claimed
that the liquors are the property of hid
sons, who have opened a srore in New
York, and the examination in relation to
them is to take place next week. In the
mean time David Clark is on trial, and
every ingenius scheme known to inge-
uius lawyers is being exerted to save
him.~ He is defended by VVm. W. Ea-
ton and VVm. D. Shipniau, Esq. Tile
evidence dscloses the fact that- liquor
was kept in the store, with all the evi-
dence of an active trade, such as wet
bung-holes, damp floors, faucets, glasses,
measures, towels, demijolms, dtc. in-
deed the counsel for the defence n‘.-zzde
no opposition to a conviction for line}?-
ing with intent to sell, though they clai-
med the proof of actual sales to be in-
sufficient. One or two witnesses tari-
fied that Clark had ’gt'L-€72 them liqlmrs,
others testified they had seen iugs rand
kegs go in and out at the back door of the
store, in great numbers, others tesiilieil

made in one or two cases.
was lmpertinent to the Court, and v-'-as
committed for contempt. Another sle-
clined to answer whether he had patrolle-
.‘l~3(i‘llQilOI' of llarit since the lot of Au-
gust, on the ground that his arm-zjer
would tend to criminals himself. 'i‘l;-2
ques.ion whether an answer would crim-
inate the witness, was arguéti with lunch
ingenuity, and after taking time for con-
sideration, the Justice decided’ that it
would not, and that the witness must
answer. Mr. Clark's Counsel said ilz-sy
should take the point to a higher coizrl,
and the witness still refused to :esi:ly,
whereupon, it was proposed to ‘coma:-it
him to Jail, antbhis Counsel l2"l!ilYl2‘:ii.d
they would sue out a wr.t of habeas cor-
pus if he was committed. By arrange-
meal, the matter lay a few hours, wlzan
the witness concluded to answer the
quot-tion,,and said he had not purchased
liquor of David Clark__ ‘since the first of
August; (how could such an "answer

» criminate him?) but he said he had

bought some at Clark's store last Janu-
ary, Noevideucc was ilitrorhced for
the defence, and Clerk will probably be
convicted. He is a man of wealth and
will undoubtedly test the law in the
most thorough manner - in all the courts
to which his case can be taken. So we
are in a fair way of knowing. in due-
.timc,.-whethei the enactment is Consti-

Mr. Ferry‘-ls Lecture.

We publish in another place in todaya pa.-
per. the invitation extended to Mr. Ferry to
repeat his Lecture on “ The Replibliccu Ern-
pire.” This repetition was given on Thursday
Evening last, as per announcement, d:'e.‘~.7ing
togetl_ver—~as we anticipated--s. large audience.
The Speaker was interrupted, however, and
the audience broken up, just before its conclu-
sion, by the alarm of fire, which was supposep
to proceed from the Union Factory--but pro‘
vet! to be a Barn adjoining. Mr. Ferry is to
be followed by Rev. fie:-‘1=.r Wren Bnrzcm.-rt,
on Friday Evening. An effort is on ‘foot,
the result of which will be announced in the
hcndbills, to procure the Congregational
Clmrch,to accommodate those who may desire
to hear him, as the Town Hall will no doubt
be far too small to hold the audience which
his popularity will draw together. We‘ hope.
for the benefit of all concerned, that the effort
will succeed.

P. S. The Church has been refused, and
the Lecture will be given at the Town Hall.

’ Incendiary Fire.

An old barn standing near the Union Facto-
ry, was fired by some villain, on Thursday
night last. _ By theactive exertion: of the tire
men, and others. the flames were confined to
this structure, and tjms preventing any very
serious loss, although the factory and adjoin-
ing buildings were much jeopardized.

Another Incendiary Fir=e---Prop
erty Destroyed, and the Village
imperiled !

At about 1‘. quarter past eleven o'clock on

, Saturday evening, the alarm of fire was again

sounded, and in a few moments thereafter the

whole village seemed enveloped in ablaze. It
was found to proceed from the rear of Capt,

_Hnbbeil’la store-house, which at the time con-

tained about 30 tons of hay, considerablequau

tities of timber, and other combustible mate-
rials. The firemen were promptly on the

‘ spot,Wil.h hundreds oi‘ our citizens, but owing

to some defect in the auction apparatus of No‘.

1, some minutes ‘F-Fl-i‘€ lost before: both engines

were brought into t-llicieul rservice. The cold

was intense, the wizui blowing 2., perfect gale.
and the flames spreading I‘-iZl0i‘.g the dry woo’ -
en tenements on either side, with.th-'2 utmost
rapidity, yet as soon as the companies brought
their united energies to bear upon the flames.
a. sensible diminution in its fury was observa-
ble. This seemed to inspire the hopes of those
who were bravely battling the fiery elements
with bucket in hand, until it was apparent that-
the Mallory building was safe, when all hearts
rejoiced with the instinctive consciousness that
the remaining business portion of the town,

On the west, the wooden store known as tho.-
“Lockwood building” and adjoining the Mal-
lory building was entirely cont-on ed. On the
east, the little store building formerly the en-
gine house of No. 2, the Grocery and Crocke-
ry Store of Asa. E. Smith 85 Son, together with
the tenement house of the some firm, adjoining
their pottery, were entirely destroyed. The
Messrs. S. also had their barn which lies some
distance below the pottery, entirely consumed.
We learn that their losses are nearly covered
by insurance. The heaviest loss falls upon
Capt. Hubbell, who in addition to his two
buildings, had considerable quantities of lum-
ber and grain stofizdjn his building, and not
one dollar's°iusu"i'ancc on the whole. ,

The arresting of the flames and the saving
of the Pottery buildings on the cast, and of
Ma1loi'y’s building on the west, is the most as-
tonishing ft: of of exertion and endurance we
ever witnessed, and must have convinced eve-
ry one that whatever defect might exist in the
engines, those defects were more than made
up by the discipline and endurance of. those
"who manned them. The old arguments used
by insurance agents to extort eshorbitaut
premiums, that our fire department is not ade-
quate to the extent of our risks, was most
thoroughly dissipated by the heroic labors cl
Saturday night. '

As to the origin of the tire there can be no
doubt thaf it was‘the work of an incendiary.
but what the motive could have been that
prompted the deed. is as yet purely a. matter
of conjecture. Occurring as it did in the
midst of a row of wooden buildings, with the
wind blowing ta. tempest, it is really fl. matter
of wonder how almost the entire business por-
tion of the village was saved from destruction
The liar-arde on this occasion was greatly in-
creascd by a sloop lyinu ‘at Se-llecli’s dock lu-
deu with Hey. We hope, however, this discs-
ter will prove an ultimate blessing. in the vs.-
rious improvements and safeguards, which it
will suggest and promote hereafter.

Incidents of the Fire.
Most of the buildings burned were occur-le

I in whole or part, by poor Irish families, some

of whom barely escaped with their lives, 10-
sing all their scanty wardrobe and’ household
efi‘ec‘.s. Others who saved their lithe stock of
wordly goods are thrown out of a habitat} on:
all presenting cases of extreme hardship
Several men in their efforts to save the
property of the Mes:-rs. Smith, were precipita-
ted into the cellar of a building, and nearly
suffocated before they were rescued.

Among other articles stored in Capt. Huh-

 

ed for the ‘fCa.lilornia trade,” and belonging
to James J udeou, Esq.,a1l of which were des-
ti-oyed.

 

A barrelof the “crater” was also rescued
from" the flames and rolled into the street,
where it was tapped. and its contents pretty
liberally, if not generally distributed.

After one of the Engine companies had
been completely worked out," a relay of sin-
ewy Irishmen were -put at the breaks, when
an inquiry was started as to the whereabouts
of the iildethiigable “Sam.”

 

It in said that two Irish women were inter-
rupted, if not actually insulted, by an oficer.
while they were eugiged in the laudable but
Herculean, task of saving a barrel of flour
from being burned. Another lady of the
Emerald Isle was much concerned-at the dan-
ger to whiop a barrel ororomry waisspetod
. , ,



which had been so greatly imperiled was safe. '

Our foreign ci‘.izens,r.s P. general thing,

with the pails, without cessation till the flames
were conquered.

We have no doubt that by 9. union of all our

We do not wish to occasion any unnecessary

about the Bridge, but are there not numerous
localities of extremely hazardous character,
which invite the incendiaryfls match?
And last, we would tender our most earnest

of about one dozen young ladies, who render-
ed us most essential service in the renmvul of

damage. Had we shared in the calamitr,
which at the time threatened to be general,
their disinterested labors would have "saved us
many a hard earned dollar.
The Lessons of the Fire.
’ We wish to call especial’ attention to two
lessons taught and enforced by the firs‘ of
Saturday night: A A
bit. The value and necessity of the Borough
ordinance prohibiting any more erections of
wood within the tire limits. Had the Pottery
been of wood, it must have inevitably been
consumed. Itsmateriallbriclnsavedit. This
ordinance will need to be enforced with par-
ticular strictuesa now, We shall have appeals
to our sympathy for the purpose of rélaxiug
it, but such sympathy would he a curse 5. to

now that the opportunity is afforded, from the
top of Mill Hill, down as far as the tire eaten-
detl to the westward. The adjo.niug' laudiou
the north side of the road on the slope; and
brow of Mill Hill, should be taken into. .l.he.
street, and the grnvel,‘&e., there obtainable,
should be dumped over on the south side-"from
the middle to the bottom of the dcsc_ent,‘thus
widening the street on the south side at the
loot "anti lower half‘ of the Hill. and on the
north side along the upper half and brow of
thsieanis. Just room enough for a. waggon to
pass close by the Pottery should he allowed,

Fire in the Woods.

The woods belonging to F. St. J. Lockwood.

visit to the ten Governors ol the Aims
House, who are preparing to lionize and
feast our representatives during-‘th-i’

than meets the eye. Perhaps, as one of
the ten Governor: has a large capital in-
vested in_ the disnillery business, he may
have a confidential word or two to say
on the prohibiiory liquor bill. This
iixeasure hangs fire in the Senate. The
liquor dealers here feel certain that it
canuotpass in, its present shape, and
with the search and seizure clauses
stricken out, it..wouldbe useless. The
Tribune seems to think that "there is
treason in the temperance camp," and
syinptomsvof a "caving iu” among the
cold water members of the Senate, are
certainly apparent.

State Temperance. Convolution.

This body assembled at Norwich, on
Wednesday, Barzillai Hudson, 1-3:.-q.,
President of the State Society being in
the chair. Almost every portion of the
State was represented. Reports of a
most interesting character, lavorable to
the workings of our hen-3fice"nt_law pro-
hibiting thc trade in alcoholic spirits ‘were
made ; a series of vigorous resojtiiioii
recommending both Henry Dalton and
William T. Minor as either of them re-
liable men on the temperance — question
was adopted. -

has passed from us, and the merry jing-

of existence, and now not a vestige of ii

into our midst fresh, pure, and White, but
it had been with us but a few short hours
when its beauty had passed away. and
in its place a dark fine sand was every-
where to-be seen; then came rain. and
soon cakes of ice covered the street of

lend to increase the "natural. antipathy

as one or two of , the parties arrested are
likely to turn State's evidence, the crime

perpetrators. It is generally believed
that the attack upon Poole was the re-
-ult of a conspiracy, and report says that
one at least of the conspirators had en-
gaged his passage to California in anticl-
pation of the event, Poolo’s chief re-
-gret upon his death bed, was that he had
been the victim of a gang‘of lrlshrnen.——

the deceased, is accused by the friends of

sl-ot has not been taken, but his escape
is impossi‘-:-le. The funeral of Poole

Soon after his death she returned to this
country with her s-.=.*.-‘en children, with
no property to support them. Her friends
