SAFE.
Messrs. Root and Mitchell are safe.—--
It is now stated that they were taken
prisoners as reported, but were allowed,
or were able to escape So says a des-
patch received at Middletowu. The re-
port oftheir murder \vas not improbable,
It came from several sources and
from those. not favorable lo the Free
State cause.
The first. report grew out of the brag-
ging of the Pro Slavery men that they
had “shot two of the d d Abolition-
ists.”
Root and Mitchell were missing, and
there was much reason to believe that
they, like others, had fallen victims to
the ruffians.
P. S. The Middletown Constitutioll
publishes a letter from Mr. Mitchell da-
ted May 22d.' Mr. M. says that the N.
.Haven C0,, hearing the reports trom
Lawrence became uneasy and Wished I0
ascertain the facts.
Dr. Rootand rriyselfstarted fromVVau-
bonsa last week Wednesday. 3l‘l'iVed 3'-
Lawrence uiimolested, but saw agood
man; armed men encamped a few miles
from Lawrence. We started back on
Friday night; had proceeded about six
miles when we were stopped by about
sixteen men and taken by them as pris-
oners of war. VVe did not stop until
they fired. We were then taken by
them to their camp where we were kept
until yesterday when we were brought
before the U. S. -Marslial, and drscharg-
ed at their camp about a mile from Law-
rence, wliicli place was entered by the
Marshal with a posse of about five hun-
dred men to make arrests. Three
persons were arrested by the Marshal
after which he discliargedthe posse, and
Sheriff Jones then proceeded by their as-
sistance to destroy the two priming pres-
ses by throwing them into the river, and
then destroyed the Free State Hotel, a
very fine house just completed. They
had a number of pieces of cannon with
which they attempted to demolish the
building, after firing some thirty shots
and accomplishing very little, they at-
tempted to blow the building up but did
not succeed. They then set the build-
ing on fire and entirely destroyed it, and
after searching and robbing most of the
private houses, left without committing
any violence on the people or the 1055 Oi
any lives in the sacking of the town, al-
though some four or five persons have
been killed by their scouting parties.
We fared as well as coul be expec-
ted while in their hands. They were a
most villainous set of men, a great many
of them intoxicated, headed by Atchison
Stringfellow and Sheriff Jones, as great
rascals as ever lived unhunrr.

A Providential Man.
There is no aspiration so glorious as
the desire to do good. Howard, bend-
ing over the couch of sickness and
smoothing the pillow of death, was
greater than Napoleon at Ansterlitz.-—
And Thomas Holloway, whose iiiesti-
inable medicines are subduing disease
of every type, in every part of the liab-
itable globe,_ is more worthy of respect
and honor than any warrior that ever
drew the sword. VVhen Kossutli visit-
ed the United States he was designated
hylone of our clergy as the “providen-.
ti-ll man.” Surely Professor Holloway
who has come to our country ;on ano-
bler errand, better deserves that title.-
His establishment in New York has
been the fontal source of health to thou-
sands of our afflicted fellow citizens.—-
His agencies, established in every city
and town of the Union, are the PEOPLES
DISPENSARIES. What is true of the
popularity of his medicines here, is true
throughout the world; for wherever
civilization has penetrated, by land or
sea, they are known and appreciated.-
From Greenland to Terra del ‘Fuego—
from the Mississippi to the Ganges-
they are advertised in every printed lan-
guage, and resorted to by races of eve-
ry name and color, as the only reliable
disease. The leading medical periodi-
cals of London and Edinburgh not only
except Holloway/’s Pills and Ointment
from their general denunciations of pat-
ent medicines, but unreservedly coni-
mend them. In short, if we are robe-
lieve concurrent testimony of all na-
tions, Professor Holloway has done
more to ameliorate human suffering and
rob the grave of victims, than any other
medical discoverer of this or any former
age. We have unquestionable authori-
ty for saying that his central offices for
the old and ne\v world—London and
New York-—send out annually more
than ten millions of dollars’ worth of
his medicines. The statistics of the
cures effected by their means, cannot,
of course, be ascertained, but judging
from the facts within our own limited
sphere of observation we should say
that no ordinary quarto volume could
contain the record. Surely the discov-
erer and philanthropist who has accom-
plished such results niay, without arro-
gance, be styled a providential man .’

Ship Canal from Havre to Paris.-
The French Emperor has conceived the
magnificent project of cutting a Ship
Canal from Havre to Paris, which will
be navigable by vessels 01 a large size.
This would give to the latter city an
important commercial character.
A Successful .Medicine.—-Dr. Rog-
ers’ Syrup of Liverwort, Tar, and
Canchalagua. has attained its present
tinexampled reputation and popularity,
not by exaggerated statements of iinag-
inary cures, but through the influence of
responsible citizens, who speak what
they know by experience of its intrinsic
merits in cases of all forms of Lung
disease, not even excepting Consump-
tion. It is a standard article with Drug-
gists.

“Peleg is Thar.”
Among the delegates to Cincinnatli
was I’t:Li:G C. CHILD, of our State——the
gentlcnian who, as temporary Chairman
of the last Loco Convention, spoke of se-
lecting Standard bearers to “wave over
our State!” It appears by the report
that PELEG has been making a speech.
I-lear him:
Mr. CHILD, of Connecticut, \vislied,
as the Convention had no important bu-
siness to do, that the members would
tell their experience. [Loud laughter.
and cries of “Go on.”j He was a rep-
resentative from Connecticut, for the
District of Windliam.. [Laughter.]—
Connecticut was one of the immortal
Stateslthat had stood by South Carolina
in the early days of trouble, and still
stood side by side with her Democratic
principles. He hoped, as he said before
that the evening would be spent in tel-
ling experience and comparing notes.—
[Laughter.]
' The Convention then adjourned.
It is stated that previous to the Wash-
ington City election, the Union threat-
ened with dismissioii any clerk of the va-
rious governmental offices, who should
dare to vote the K. N. ticket! ‘Va are

The original dividing Line was run
as long ago as 1664, and the last one in
1731.
The distance is 80 miles. Such a

Fairfield “fest Association.
At the Annual Meeting of Fairfield
West Association held at Darien, May
27th, 1856, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, The affairs of this nation
both Home and Foreign, are, becoming
increasingly complicated, and wearinga
more and more threatening aspect and
scenes of civil dissension and blood are
beginning to open, to which human fore-
cast can fix no bounds ; and whereas, at
such seasons, whoever may be the im
mediate agents of evil, the sins of the
nation are the remote cause, thus de-
volving an important duty upon the
Church of God; therefore,
Resolved lst, That it be recoinmen-
(led to all the Churches which we rep-
resented, to lay to heart the present try-
ing state of our public affairs, and to
humble themselves before God with deep
repentance and fervent’-prayer, if perad-
vcnture His just wrath may be appeased
and His judgements averted.
Resolved, 2nd, That we deeply de-
plore the great evils connected with
Slavery in our beloved country, and es.
pecially the efforts which seem to us now
making by those in authority "to extend
and perpetuate these evils in Territory
once consecrated by solemn covenant to
Freedom ; and we feel 'called upon as
the friends of God and right, to PROTEST
against those acts of violence and wrong
by which in a portion of our land, the
elective franchise has been made power-
less for good, and the‘ mere engine of
tyranny, and the most oppressive and
cruel laws have been imposed upon a
Free and Christian People.
Resolved, 3d, That we regard the recent
outrage upon the person of one of the
Senators of the United States as another
attempt to destroy the freedom of speech
on which all our hopes of Liberty and
of the perpetuity of our Free Institutions
depend, and as such, deserving the
pointed and earnest condemnation of
every friend of his country,
Resolved, 4th, That our Delegates to
the coming General Association of this
State be requested to present these res-
olutions to that body as expressive of
our views and feelings in regard to these
matters.
The following is Gov. Gardener's
message, transmiting to the Massachu-
setts Legisiature the Connecticut resolu-
tions on the Sumner outrage :
“E.\‘ECL’TI\'l-2 DEPARTMENT, COU.\'C1L CHAMBIZR,
Bosrox, May 30, 1856.
To the President of the Senate :
I transmit herewith resolutions passed
by our sister State of Connecticut, ex-
pressive of its utter reprobation of the
recent “brutal and cowardly violence on
the floor of the Senate Chamber,” and
of its determination to stand side by side
with Massachusetts now, as heretofore,
in the assertion and defense of freedom,
of thought and speech.
I need not testify to the gratification
of such setiments from the intelligent and
patriotic State of Connecticut must con-
vey ‘to the judgement and feelings of
our people. ~
[Signed] HENRY J. GARDNER.
“Courtesy in Debate.”
By way ofshowing how Southern gen-
tlemen sometimes address their North-
0
cm. brethren, the Courant copies the fol-
lowing from the speech of Mr. Stephens
of Georgia, delivered in the House,
about the time of the passage of the Ne-
braska Bill.
Well gentlemen, you make a good
deal sf clamor over the Nebraska meas-
ure, but it don’t. alarm us at all. We
have got used to that kind of talk. You
have threatened before, but you have
never performed. You have always ca-
ved in, and you will again. Yoi1 are a
mouthing white-livered set.
* You must submit to the yoke,
but don’t chafe. Gentlemen, we have
got you in our power. You tried to
drive us to the wall-in 1850, but times
are changed. * * * * You We“;
a wooling, and have come home fieeced.
Don’t be so iinpudent. as to coinplain.—
You will only he slapped in the face.-
Don’: resist. You will only be lashed
into obedience.
Motives of the South.
The South are moving in the settle-
ment of Kansas, with the intention, un-
make it a Slave State. Their motives
are thus stated by the Mississippian of
the 13th : _
“If Kansas comes into the Union a
slave State, in all sectional contests her
voice\will counterbalance the votes of
New York or Ohio in the United States
Senate. Missouri will be permanently
secured to slavery; otherwise her posi-
tion may become doubtful. Besides these
gains, when Kansas is secured‘, a high.
way will be opened up to slavery in the
vast territories of the Pacific.”
In speaking of the comments of the
pro slavery papers of Virginia on the
venerable Bishop Meade’s remarks when
he confirmed some slaves, the Prove‘.
dance Journal says: "Why does not
this Bishop, who seems to be a well
meaning man enough, leave alone nig-
gers and such low people, and imitate
‘the example of Jesus Christ, who, as ev-
ery body knows, confined himself to the
rich and great, and visited only the “firs't
families” of Judea? Really when we
see such degeneracy and fanaticism in
high places, we lose half our faith in the
Apostolic Succession; and if it was not
for that beautiful and highly instructive
of Paul and Onesimus, we should think
it best for our southern brethren to give
up the New Testament and fall back
upon the Old, which is evidently better
adapted to their peculiar wants and in-
stitutions.”
Making Suitable Provision.—T he
following resolution was passed by the
Common Council of Buffalo at a recent
meeting:
Resolved. That the Trustees of the
First Presbyterian Church cause the
posts at their side walks to be reset at
such distance from each other that la-
dies wearing hoops may pass through.”

SEC. 2nd. This act to

Mr. Maddox moved to amend in the
9th line, by inserting after “otherwise”
the following—"a rate per cent. inclu-
ding bonus and interest which does not
directly or indirectly exceed 12 per cent
per annum.” In the 9th ‘line, he moved
to amend by adding after the word “bo-
nus,” the words, “provided that said con-
tract be made in conformity with the law
of June 13th, , establishing Savings
Banks and Building Associations." He
also moved to amend sec. 2, _ after the
word ‘passage,” by adding, but the pro-
visions of this act shall nbt affect any
suit or action now pending, or any con-
tract on which proceedings shall have
been commenced.” He also moved to
amend by adding other sections:

, Mr. Maddox said Mr. Kellogg should
not complain of his amendments. They
made the bill bc_tter—gave it a
clearer face. He had no interest in
these Associations, and no friends who
had. He was therefore, qualified to
speak justly. He said these asssocia
tions were established by law, to favor
the poor. Some of those'first organized
had benefitted that class. But in many
cases, the institutions have gone beyond
their aiiticipations, and beyond the con-
templation of the law. They had viola-
ted the law. The Courts had declared
so. What now do these institutions,
which have oppressed the poor, ask ?—
Th_ey ask for a healing act, to legalize
fraud and oppression. He asked if this
was right, to grant to them this privi-
lege. What right has the Legislature to
grant this privilege to institutions, which
they would withhold from individuals’!
Gentlemen might theorize, but they could
not overset facts. The figures bore him
out. He read from a book kept by the
Mechanics and Workingmen’s Associa-
tion, to substantiate his remarks, by an
instance where, in three years, the ho-
nus andinterest paid in, exceeded the
value of his stock, $1447, where the in-
dividual still owes the institution $2,400
In nine years, when the stock will fill.
as it is said, he will have been shaved
$4,041. He denied that refusing to le-
galize these transactions would be repu-
diation. The borrowers had all been
told that they should have to pay only 6
per cent_ He would protect these bor-
rowers. To that effect he had offered
his amendments. He spoke at length
of his amendments. The first allowed
12 per cent. That was surely enough.
It might. pe said that; the borrowers
had petitioned forthe fulfillment of their
contract. They had done it, he said‘ be-
cause they were in the condition of the
moiise under the paw of the cat. He
spoke of the other amendments, briefly.
Mr. Ingersoll then moved an amend-
ment, by adding at the close of Sec. 1,
the following.
"Provided that no legal proceedings
for the enforcement ofiany contract liere-
by validated, to any further extent than
the collection of the principal and six
per cent. interest thereon, shall be com-
menced by said Association, until after
the expiration of9 months from the pas-
sage of this act.”
Pending this amendment, House ad-
journed to 9 a m. Friday.

resisted, which will cause our beloved
country to shed tears of blood through
all her borders for generations vet to
come. The civil war with its horrid
train of fire and slaughter, carried on
without the slightest provocation against
the infant settlements of our brethren
on the frontier of our Union, the worse
than civil war, which, after raging for
months unrebuked at the Capital of our
Union, has at length, with a lawless vio-
lence of which I know no example in
the annals of constitutional government,
stained the floor of the Senate chamber
with the blood of a defenceless man, and
he a Senator from Massachusetts. Oh!
my good friends, these are events which
for the good name, the peace, the safety
of the country, it were worth all the
gold of California to blot from the record
of the past week. They sicken the heart
of the patriot, of the good citizen, of the
Christian; they awaken a gloomy doubt
whether the toils, the sacrifices the suf-
ferings our fathers endured, for the sake
of founding a higher, a purer and afreer
civilization on this Western Continent
than the world had yet seen, have not
endured in vain. For myself, my friends
they fill me with sorrow “E00 deep for
tears.” I am not ashamed of the weak-
ness, for I sorrow not for myself. My
few remaining years are running too rap-
idly to a close to allow me to attach
much importance to anything this side of
the grave which concerns me individual-
ly, but I sorrow beyond the power of
words to express for the object of affec-
tion which I shall leave beliind-—for my
children—for my country—and God is
my witness that if by laying down my
life at this hour I could undo what has
been done the last two years, beginning
with the disastrous repeal of the Missou-
ri Compromise, to embitter the different
sections of country against each other,
and weaken the ties which unite them,
I would willing and cheerfully make the
sacrifice.”

The Farce in the Senate.
Considerable anxiety and much unnecessary
alarm has been caused by the foolish farce en-
the House in the election of Mr. Dixon to the
United States Senate. This movement can-
not possibly inv.i.lidate the election, a fact
well known to all the principal movers in
the foolish operation. As well might a man
after having deeded away his property. claim
a continuance of his ownership, or take pos-
session thereof at will. The claim is ludi-
crous, and we think th )se grave Senators who
have been guilty of this trifling with the anx-
ieties of their constitueiits. have taken unnec-
essary tronble to make themselves obnoxious.
We are disposed to allow to all, the utmost lat-
itude of preference and action, but at a. crisis
like the present, our utmost partiality cannot
palliato or excuse such gratuitous trifling
with the deepest solicitudes of the people. The
charges of personal ambition assigned to
those engaged in this movement, are beyond
a doubt unjust and unfounded, but at a time
like the present, if the settled and very gen-
erally expressed prefercnccs of’ the people,
cannot, from conscientious or other motives,
be acquiesced in, then let the Representative
resign his position, rather than do violeu cc to
the confidence reposed in him by his constitu-
ency.
We append, what we take to be, a. judicial
opinion of the matter, from the Hartford
Courant of Saturday: ‘ '
Ml’. Dixon is Elected Senator.
The Times last evening tries to get
a'_bug-bear story, that Mr. Dixon is not
yet elected Senator. The law requires
that whenever any vacancy shall hap-
_ pen in the representation of this, State
in the Senate of the United States “the
General, Assembly, if then in ses-
sion, shall by a concurrent vote of the
Senate and House of Representatives
proceed to fill said vacancy by the new
election.” (Statutes p. 463, sect. 39.)
This law has been literally complied
with. By a concurrent vote of the.
Senate and House Representaives, the
vacancy was filled by the election of Mr.
Dixon. It is not in the power of either
house nor, of both houses united, to
make a vacancy They have no author-
ity to make vacancies, but are empower-
ed to_/ill them.
It was of course proper for the Sec-
retary’s clerk to refuse to one house
what the laws make it,his duty to pre-
serve in the Secretary's files; but if it
should be called for on concurrent vote,
it would not vitiate the ballotings. The
resolution is merely formal—the votes
are conclusive.
As to reconsidering a ballot and re-
openinga question at any time within
three days of its settlement, the idea is
absurd; and finds no support in the laws
or the precedents. It would make bal-
loting a farce. If the ballot could be re-
considered within three days it could
be done at any time in the session-—or
even at an adjourned session-——as the
rule giving the right of reconsideration
in three days could be altered. It is
utterly absurd to talk of reconsidering
an election of Senator.
Fire.
The sawing and fancy turning mill belong-
ing to the brothers Batley in the north west-
ern part of the town was entirely consumed
by fire on Sunday night. The fire was beyond
doubt the work of an incendiary, although the
sufferers are at a loss to surmise who could
lhus wantonly plot their ruin. Their loss is
about $5,000 with no insurance, and must
prove most disastrous to these industrious and
persevering mechanics. We trust the public
sympathy may assume some tangible expres-
sion, and aid them in again starting their bu-
siness.
Borough Meeting-
We see that there is to be an effort made to
resuscitate our Borough. We trust our citi-
zens will be present, as it is too bad for the
property and the interests of the Borough to
be jeopardised and sacrificed, as they have
been the past year.
LADY J mun-:s.—We are told that an exciting
“ Scrub race” came off a short time since in
old Fairfield, between one of the fast horses of
that town and an ambitious Norwalk steed, in
which Norwalk is said to have triumphed.-
The race seems to have occasioned as much
excitement in that quiet locality, as did that
of the immortal Gilpiu, not from any extraor-
dinary dividing of seconds by the racers, but
the “ devil-may-care” grace and spirit with
which the reins were drawn over the Norwalk
Loper by the lady driver.
The owner, who had long since failed to dis-
cover any evidences of more than ordinary
celerity in the locomotivepropensities of his
beast, had philosophically resigned‘ the reins
into the hands of his lady companion, and was
enjoying the exhibition of iindrcamed of speed
with the utmost delight, till having distanced
his competitor a slight observation disclosed
the fact that his nag Iiaulierl all of its shoes,
and a dollar transferred from his pocket to
that of‘ the Smith ’.9, was to prove the sad so-
quel to his momentary delight. He very nut.
urally avows his determination not to allow
his horse to be be driven by any more Shake-
perian characters, at. least on any ordinary
occasion. (‘l)
DENTAL Orr-ialvrioxs.-—We had our Edito-

by Dr. Chas. Fitch, last week, and although
, he “hurt our feelings” considerably during
ihe exercise, we camiot therefor suppress our
honest convictions that as a careful and
skillful operator, especially in filling carious
teeth, he has very few equals in any place.—
His operations have elicited much commenda-
ted to investigate the outrage, has come
to the conclusion that the body has no
jurisdiction in the case. The House
coin., after a lengthy investigation have
reported that Brooks ought to be ex-
pelled. As a two third vote is required
to accomplish this, he will not probably
get his deserts.

are used,‘ the more popi_zlar_ they become; among this
number’, we know of none that so well enjoys the confi-
dence of the. public as Dr. Stone’: Liquid Gatliarlic. It is
