The Waterbury Case.
A letter in the New York Herald from
Waterbury places the tyranny of the
Waterbiiry Rorriish Priest, and the pe- ~
culiar character of his religion in a still
more striking light. Our readers will
remcmber that a Mr. Blakeiy of Water-
bury, brought a suit against O’Neil, a
Rornish priest, for improper and violent
interference in the burial of his wife’,
and that the priest was fined $150 for
the breach of the peace. At the time,
it was confidently asserted that Mrs.
Blakely was a Catholic. The writer of
the communication in the Herald denies
it, and asserts that she, her father, and
her grand-father were Irish Protestants.
She was christened in a Protestant
church, married by a Protestant clergy-
man, and when she came to this coun-
try joined a Protestant Episcopal
Church. Rev. Dr. Clark of the Epis-
copal Church administered the :-a4.‘rn-

After Dr. Clark left her bed side, llley
and their priest surrounded her, urging
her to die a Catholic. Says this writer:
"The last words she uttered were lo
call her husband to her bedside to pray
for her. But when he was about to
collect his children to join in prayer—
"No, no,” said the Priest, “you cannot
pray unless you join in our prayers.”
Then and there he and his children were
‘vi ez arms‘: forcibly expelled from the
room by ‘her brother and sister, aided by
the landlady and others acting under the
direction of the Priest ; he (the hm-
band) retired to an out-house and con-
tinued in prayer alone till the Priest
left; he then returned to his room and in

to have 3 basis of fact instead of liairig

than that ol" its novelty.
For the principle of inlialation a wide
prevalence has been attained, and statis-
tics and details as to its practice and re-
sults are now quite accessible. These
would no doubt exhibit. like all‘; similar
practice, evirieiice of more or less vary-
ing results. We have ourselves become
familiar with a number of cases where
the most sanguine assertions of the in-
halists have been realised. As such
facts cannot, however, be conclusive up.
on the character of the entire practice of
l.lil!:l speciality, it would be evidently iii-
cxpedieut to dwell upon them.
The chief practitioner ol this treatment.
Dr. Robert Hunter of this city, has llllll-
scll ceased to publish the result of inci-
dental cases, as only affording a partial
data for conclusions. There is obviously
a very gross injustice towards the inves-
tigators of the theory in question, and
no little injury to the cause of science it-
self, in the publication of assertions of an
adverse tezideiicy, based upon still more
scanty and proballlyiinperfect instaiices
of pratice. One is suprlsed to find too.
that. such assertions, purely gral.llli0u.‘~'as
it seems, and certainly without any ad-
vancement of proofs, should be liazariled
before a respectable body, s:.ch as ,lllP
Academy of Medicine of this city. The
speaker at the late anniversary of this
institution alluded to the fatal results of
Inhalation to consumptive patients‘ who
had lorsakeri tliefr -rrgula-r plig/.tz'cz'ans
for the treatment of the lnlialists. lu-
eiances of an opposite character are more
familiar (0 us. What the whole result
has been, or will uveniually be, from the
praclice of Inhalation. we will not pre-
sume to assert; but the facts in the bills
of mortality provide a presumption, at
least, in favor of the more desirably re-
sult. However much the doctors may
dispute, ll. must be regarded as a cheer-
ing fact. that the City Inspector reports
his death table, a striking decrease, for
all parties, in the l’£.'ll1l'l1 of deaths by
consumption. Within the past 3 years,
the number of deaths from this deplora-
blefdisease is shown to have fallen nffat

This table shows positive diminution
of the number of deaths from consump-

ding periods oftwo preceding years~—of

to the practice ol Inhalation, that we
should add the comment of the Medical
Specialist on this table, I
" It is worthy of note in this connex-
ion,lhat it cliiefiy through thelast year

ly appreciated, not only in lhls city, but

the fact, that during the past year we

Hon. If/'m.. IV. W'elc/1. and the Re-
solves of the American Uomvemvmv.--—
The committee on resolutions at H»:-
American State Convention which cori-
vened at New Haven on the 10th inst,
very properly presented, and the Cori-
vention passed a .'lESOlllll0n “ heartily
approving of the action of our Represen-
tatives in Congress,” 8,4-c.. with reference
(0 the stand they have taken upon the
question of Speaker. Tliis resolution,
we learn, received the entire vote of the
Convention. with the exception of two.
These two negative votes we presume
to have been given by D. B Booth, and
ll. P. Harris, Esqrs., who joined in a
minority report conveying an implied
censure for adhering to Mr. N. P. Banks,
on the ground that he had placed him-
self in antagonism to the American order
in the late Massachusetts Election. We
iliink the gentlenien have greatly mis-
conceived Mr. Bank’s position on the
American queIlti0u,as by the record will
most unequivocally appear. But this is
not the point to which we would advert.
on this occasion. We propose to refer
to the action of Olll own honored Mem-
ber, who represents this immediate DIS-
urict, and leave it for the press in other
parts of the State to discuss the positions
of their respective Deli-gates. The fact
that Mr. Banks received the nomination
of the American Older, and was suppor-
led and elected on that issue, by those
who best understood his motives and
actions in the glilieriiaiorizzl canvass, is
certainly concliisive evidence that no
charge of a want of ft-ally lo the senti-
ments of that organization can justly be
urged against him. But there is another
principle involved in the contest for Mr.
Banks, quite as dear to the hearts of the
Freeman of the North, as that- of Amer-
icanism, dear as that sentiment may be
to many. So far as Mr. Banks is per-
sonally concerned, although entertaining
a high regard for his brilliant talents and
high-toned slatesmanship, we are free to
confess he is not the man of our choice.
He is a democrat, while we are a whig,
and opposed to him on most questions of
governmental policy, but Mr. Banks em-
bodies in the present peculiar phase of
political matters in the House, a. greater
amount qt Ann’-Nebras/ca strength than
can possibly be concentrated upon any
other member of that body. Already
the people of Connecticut have not fail-
ed to discern that this Nebraska outrage
upon Freedom, is to be. the sole card
played by the administration; that it is
the issue on which all its hopes of suc-
cess in the next Presidential contest are
staked ; and the fearful desperation with
which this game is to be played, may be
discerned by the disgraceful, factions,
and dogged stubbornness with which the
administration members resist every
honorable proposition to organize the
34th Congress. In this view of the
case, it is with no common pleasure that
we can point to the proud position oftlie
gentleman whose name stands at the
head of this article. Waiviiig all per-
sonal and political preferences, he has
stood from the beginning, maiifnlly bal-
lliug for the RicH'r—-remaining at his
post. through the day and t/a-rougleomt
the night, and losing not a single role
on any duestion bearing on the a|l-ini-
portant results. ll. is with no ordinary
degree of pleasure, we say, that we can
point to the proud position occupied by
Mr. VVelch. A position, which we
think we can advisedly affirm, meets the
entire and hearty approval, not only of
all his political friends, but offauvffl/is
of his political opponents in lhis county,
and were we opposed to him on every
other principle of policy or expediency,
he should still receive our warmest coni-
mendalion and support, for his unremit.

We begin to gctjalrnostjdiscouraged at
the prospect of setting our neighbors right,
over at Stamford. The last. instance of their
perversity is in a serious complaint against
the action of the Fairfield County Agricultu-
ral Society, with reference to its Annual
Meeting. “ It has heretofore been customary,”
says the Advocate, “ to publish the call for
the Meeting in the various papers of the Coun-
ty, and to notify all the Vice Presidents of
the Society by letter." So far as any blame
can attach _ to any one, it must fall upon us
personally as Corresponding Secretary of the
Society. We insertcrl in our paper a call for
the meeting, and sent n. copy with the mlv.°r-
tiscmcnl; marlred conapfceintzsiy 1-villi 17:11:. to
the Advocate and each of the other papers in
the County. This, the Advocate will concede,
is the “ usual course” in all other cases where
it is desired for an exchange to copy an adver-
tisement. As to notifying each Vice Presi-
dent by letter. we certainly never heard of it
if such has been the custom heretofore, and it
is news to our people. At. all events the So-
ciety should not be burdened with censure
due alone to us. We took it for granted that
any Farmer in Fairfield County, intelligent
enough to be entitled to the honor of holding
a Vice Presidency in this Society, had intelli-
gence and public-spiritednesa enough to take
his local paper, if not, he deserved the omis-
sion. As to the notice. escaping your atten-
tion, friend Hoyt, we are sorry for it. yet
cannot deem your want of eyes sufficient cause
ofcomplaint against the Society or its Secre-
tary.
As to the “cool note” of Mr. Sherwood, we
would state that it was sent (as the Meeting
was held) while we were absent in Washing-
ton. We frankly admit that the"request to
publish gratuitiously the proceedings of the
meeting, was rather cool, and would not have
been made by us. Nor indeed. do we believe
the people of this vicinity would have consent-
ed to such an obvious“ crowding of the mourn-
ers.” We presume the Secretary was prompt-
ed by a purely honest, but mistaken motive to
subserve the best interests of the Society, in
his request. We inserted the Report and
charged for it as an advertisement, as the Ad-
vocate should do. The publication of the
transactions of the Annual Meeting is as much
calculated to promote the interests of the. So-
ciety, us the publication of the advertisement
calling the meeting, or holding its Fairs, and
should be paid for as cheerfully. We know of
but one rule in such matters; where private
interests are to be promoted in anywisc, we
deem it proper, on the broad score of honor,
that any such publication shiuld be paid for.
As well might Dr. Ayer claim the gratuitioua
insertion of his patent medicines because they
are of public benefit, as that individuals, Soci-
ties or Corporations should claim the printer’s
time and mtiscle, ink and paper. type and
press, to make announcements calculated for
self profit or agrandisement.
In all that pertained to the late Fair, the
people of Norwalk tool: especial pains that
everything that was done should be done on' a
liberal footing. The Committee of Arrange-
ments acted upon the determination that no
"‘ penny wise and pound t'ooiis_h” action should
characterize their operations, even should it
be necessary to make up deficiencies out of
their own pockets, and we have taken some
pride to ourselves in having done all that was
done, on as liberal 9. scale as the circumstan-
ces would warrant. We believe in this we
had the approval of our captions neighbor.
Int-his instance your bill was justly earned,
andjwill be cheerfully paid, we can assure you.

The lecture of‘ Mr. Thompson, of New York.
was largely attended, and‘ is pronounced with-
out reserve to be the best lecture yet ‘given
before the Norwalk Iiistifute“.' ‘Some dissatis-
faction had been expressed inoertain quarters
at the character of the speakers which have
been provided by the Committee, but all
quibbling was at an end after the Lecture ol
Mr. T. It was characterized by much schol-
arly beauty. and being the result of the Speak-
er’: own observation possessed an interest be-
yond what most lecturers could have attached
to it. Smith’s new Hall was beautifully light-
ed, comfortably iieated, and altngclhcr pre-
sented an etl‘t-ct which the good people of Nor-
walk might well be proud and happy in con-
templating—-particularly as compared with
Pattegoniun Hall, where similar entertain-
ments have heretofore been enjoyed. It strikes
us that the desk savors too much Town

K. We doubt whether any town ever eu-
joyed a richer literary repast than‘ wasserved
at the South Norwalk Congregational Church
last 'l‘uesday evening. The Lecture of Dr.’
Parker on "The Divinity of Art,” was a mod-
el of chaste and beautiful thought, littered in
the clioicest words and most fascinating dic-
tion; The Poem was also a “sermon ofit.self,”
abounding in sparkling thought. and beauti-
fully turned periods, all moving‘ to the harmo-.
nies bf poetic feet. Altogether it was the en-
tertainment of the Lecture season

3. A very pleasing social gathering oc-
curred at the parsonage of Rev. D. R. Austen
on Thursday evening last, at South Norwalk.
Not the least pleasing indications of the ‘ap-
proach of that “good time coming,” was the
large attendance of the members of the Meth-
odist Society, who by their substantial aid
gave evidence of their Christian feeling and
fellowship. May the worthy pastor live to
enjoy many such greetings.
93* The Members and friends of the Rev.
F. Bottom’s Church, South Norwalk, paid him
their annual visit on Wednesday Evening last,
the 22nd inst., in the lecture room of the
Church. A very elegant tea was provided in
one of the ante-rooms adjoining. to which ad-
mittance was bad by tickets. Upwards of
three-hundred persons partook of the cup
which cheers but not inebriates. The compa-
ny was most agreeably entertained by music
and singing. Prof. Spinning of Bridgeport,
and Miss L. Dibble of South Norwalk,charmed
the audience by their skillful performances on
the piano and mclodeon. After the parties
had been plentifully rcgaled, the pastor of the
Church gave a most unique and apt address.
treating especially ou_ the social features of
religion, and on the happy tendencies of such
family gatherings to bind christian hearts still
more closely together. while they commended
the religion of the Bible to the seeker of
convincing. The Rev. gent concluded his
remarks by announcing the “ visit-“’ of his
Brother Minister, Rev. D. R. Austen, which
was to take place the next night, hoping his
congregation would return the visits made to
them. _
Altogether this was the happiest affair of the
kind we have enjoyed for years. We haye not
learned the result. *
Presidenva Dlessase.
President Pierce evidently feels uneasy con-
cerning affairs in Kaunas. On Thursday last
he submitted a special Message to boflrfionses
of Congress on that subject. It was received
and read in the House, by special vote, al-
though contrary to strict parliamentary usage.
The message has not made its appearance yet
-—-save telcgi-aphically. We append Mr. Gree-
ley's exposition of its views :— ~'
So shameful, so impndent, so flagit.-
ious a perversion of the entire political
history of Kansas, has never been made
by any Border Ruffian on a W_estern

Slate men in Kansas-._l he atrocious
frauds whereby their repeated elections
were utterly vitiated are slurred over

those frauds by showing that Gov
Reedcr, or somebody else, has at. _some
time overlooked them ; the promoters of
liberty loving emigration from the East.
ern Stazes to Kansas is treated as if it
were felony ; Gov. Reeder is vilified as
if he were a malefaclor; the Border-
Ruflian Legislature isjustilied and its
slave laws upheld as valid; the Free

cliaracter, and the Military arm invoked
to crush it out ; not one word is said of

The safety of our republican institu-
lionsdepend-3 on the general education
and ititelligeiice of the people. Other
Republics have come to an end partly,
__at least, through the ignorance of the
masses. In Greece and Rome, the ar-
istocracy looked down with sovereign
contempt on the ignorant multitude, and
instead of trying to enlighten and ele-
vate them, they only sought to make
them the tools of their ambition. Such
will be the state of things in our coitu-
try, if the masses are suffered to
up in ignorance, and without a knowl-
edge of letters. It is, therefore, of .':i
tal importance that some system of ed-
ucation should be adopted by which the
laegest number of children‘ can be bro’i
into our Corunon Schools. Parents
who are ignotadt themselves, do not see
the necessity of educating their child-
ren, and if a pecuniary consideration lie
in the way, they will feel themselves
justified in children at
home.
when their children are old enoiig,-,li to
begin to earn a living.
There are other parents who would
be glad to have their children understand
those braiicliss of study which will
qualify them for bu.-iness life, who are
absolutely too poor to pay their term
bills, and who do, on that account, keep
them out of school, But were the
privileg s of the school free, they would
rejoice in sending their children.
It may be urged that the law makes
provision for those who are unable to
glow
keeping their
pay for the ecliooling of their children.
But there are many who are, and who
feel tlieniselves so be, unable to pay, but
who are unwilling to be considered pau-
pers, and therefore they do not
their children to school.
Again, as educated persons are not so
likely to commit crime as those who
grow up in ignorance, it isa matter of
economy to educate the children of a
State. It will cost less to eclucaz-3 than
to prosecute. And as the property of
the State has to be taxed‘ to build and
sustain prisons, and to bring to justice
and punish those who commit crime, it
will be found less burdensome to pay a
tax m.edunalc the c/z.?'ld-/en, than
punish the men, after the uneducated
children have grown up to manhood,-
As there is property enough in the State
to educate all its children, education
should be as free as water, light and
air. The property of bachelors, and
others who have no children to Pdunale,
semi
I0
ought to help educate other peoples
children. As education renders life,
property, and reputation more secure, it
is just and proper that wealth should
be taxed to pay for education. Our
'State will never reach the highest point
of elevation, till she adopts a system of
Fast: Scnoots. Am! the sooner she
