Disgraced and outraged by commerce,

Religion passes sweetly and silently on
her missions-—e.iitcrs places unseen and
sways her golden t.lircad underiieatli the
woof and warp of all society.
She pioneers the way of t.lie nier-
chant, and unobtrusively follows the sol-
dier to the battle field. She goes into
dark corners where no step has gone be-
fore, to bring to light the hidden things
of darkness, and carries consolation
where despair had planted his gaunt
figure, ‘ ‘'
She follows the victim of rapine and
the slave of passion, and with her gen-
tle touch she bushes every tumultuous
murmur. She treads upon the rough
sea of civil discord, and whispers,
“Peace, be still !” and lo, there is agreat
calm ! ‘
Her institutions are like a net work
interlacing all nation’s and‘ covering all
lands. .
Her sons and daughters, citizens of
the great heavens, have a passport for
every clime under its blue canopy more
than any power or potentate on earth.
Yea. above the grand alliances of king-
doms, she subjugates all men and sways
her sceptre alike o’er slave and master.
More extensive than the empire of
the Caesars, more glorious than that of
an Alexander. Kings are her nursing
fathers, and queens her nursing mothers 3
And the time cannot be far distant
when this whole habitable globe shall
be given to our‘Immanuel for his ever-
lasting possession, and when through her
benign and life-giving reign, war and the
sword shall be all unknown. Slavery
and the curse in every form shall no
more blight the fairest portions of our
world, and no discord shall ever mar
the sweet harmony of the great brother-
hood of man.
Such young men are some of the as-
pects of the times in which you live.——-
Surely you need not motives stronger
than these supply to urge to determined
active and incessant application on your
part.
Young men never entered on the
stage of life with so many advantages.
as have the young men of our times !
And young men had never so much de-
manded, by an ago before.
The advancements of science and
politics appeal to you, and ask shall the
mighty achievements we have made be
perpetuated P Shall the victories we
have gained be secured to coming gene-
rations’? Shall the struggles we now
prosecute meet a successful termination?
Shall knowledge and freedom be united
in majesty and power, or shall the na-
tions go back again to midevial dark-
ness '.'
All the achievements of the church,
her institutions of learning, her mission-
ary. bible, and Sunday School schemes,
her tens of thousands of redeemed sons
and daughters, all, all appeal with uni-
ted voice to the young men of our times
and ask the solemn question, shall the
promised day of righteousness dawn on
you and your children, or shall the
world still be “hoping against hope.”
0 young men rouse ye, rouse ye to
action and to work. 0, do not be drones
in our hive! Go forth in the name of
the great God, and in firm and humble
reliance on the riglit arm of his strength
and the sure word of his promise, and
ye shall return with laurels of victory.
Go forth with heart and nerve! Fear
not. Let God be your guide and truth
be your shield. And though you should
fall in defense of the right as braver
men have fallen, beneath the weight of
a coward’s bludgeon, yet, be assured,
your blood, like the blood of righteous
Abel, will cry from the ground. And
every drop of blood so spilled will be
but as seed sown on good ground, soon
to yield an abundant harvest.
No victory was ever yet secured to
peace and righteousness without. first
war and conflict. Stand to your arms,
then up, quit ye like men and be strong,
“ Snatch from the ashes of your sires
The embers of their former fires
And he who in the strife expires
Will add to tlieirsa name of fear,
That ‘tyranny shall quake to hear.”
Y"-‘ An Old Printer ——We have in our
office an old pinter. seventy-six years of
age, who commenced his apprenticeship
of seven years in the King’s Printing
Office, London, in 1784-—sixty four years
ago. He was a soldier under Sir John
Moore at Corunna in Spain, in 1808,
when he received a ball in the right
arm. He was present at the burial of
Sir John Moore, and remembers the
minutest particulars of the scene. He
was also with the duke of Welliiigton
through his whole campaign, and lost an
ankle bone by a grapeshot in the battle
of Waterloo. This old man after all
his hard service, is still one of the swift-
est and best compositors we have ever
known, and, though lame form his
wounds, is still able at “early mom and.
dewy eve,” while younger men are
wasting the golden hours in pleasure or
siioozing them away in bed, to ramble
over the fields and through the woods
in search of wild flowers, with which he
forms tempting bouquets for the belles
of the village,or to gratify the wishes of
some favorite little girl. It speaks well
for the heart ofthe soldier that all the
children love him.

day _l1]01‘[]lllg at Plymouth Church,

in justification of what he was about to
propose read to the congregation the pas.

from the 10th to the 14th verse, in

dom, and he obtained alike amount from
another slave driver of his acquaintance
le8Vl_l1g $1,000 which the girl had yet
to raise before she could be free. By
calling on generous and good men in
\Vasliington city and in Baltimore, the
girl obtained subscriptions to the amount
0f 53500. The writer of the communi-
cation requested the aid of Mr, Beecher
and the church over which he presides
in raising the balance. To thisaffecting
story Mr. B. replied by mail that
he would‘ not move in the matter,
(probably fearing an imposition was
about to be practiced upon him,) unless
the girl was sent here herself. This was
consented to on behalf of her master, by
the girl giving him her parole of honor,
that in case of a failure to raise the sum
necessary she would return to him,...
Mr. Beecher then in in an affecting
manner alluded to the respect due to
WOMAN. whether she was bond or free,
educated or uneducated, and concluded
by inviting the young woman, who was
present in the church, to come upon the
platform, with which invitation she coin-
plied. She was scarcely as dark as an
Indian, and had a pleasing and intelli-
gent countenance. Her appearance up-
on the speaker’s stand, evidently much
disconserted her , before such an ini-
mense assembly of strangers, and fearing
no doubt that the much needed money
would not be raised, so excited the con-
gregation, stirred as their feelings were
by the preceding remarks of the. speaker
that the .hot tears streamed down the
weather-beaten couiitenaiices of strong
men as well as the softer cheeks of beau-
tiful wonieu. The officers of the church
then passed around the plates, and al-
though the congregation had no previ-
ous knowledge or expectation that there
would be such a demand made upon
their benevolence, they were rapidly fil-
led. Several gentlemen near the pul-
pit intimated to Mr. B. that they would
be responsible for any short comings in
the collection, and that he might relieve
the girl of suspense. Thus he did, but
it also reached the ears of the congrega-
tion, who, in asgreat suspense almost
as the girl herself, forgot the sacred char-
acter of the day, and gave vent to their
joy in a loud clapping of hands. Mr.
Beecher remarked that he did not ap-
prove of the clapping of hands in the
church on the Sabbath, but as the de-~
liverance of a slave from bondage was a
proper occasion for joy and gladness, he
would be content to call it “a holy clap-
ping of hands.” The sum contributed
was seven hundred dollars and seventy-
five dollars, besides several articles of
jewelry which ladies unprepared with
money had cast into the‘ plates. ‘
We understand that the girl has a
child, and that the surplus funds collec
ted are to be applied to the purchase of
its freedom, and to aid the young woman
in setting herself at some useful occupa-
tion here at the North.
Murder of the I risl1YW:1iter-
We perceive that the American Celt
has waked up to a realizing sense of the
enormity ofthe outrage upon Thomas
Keating the Irish waiter at Washington
who was shot dead by Herbert, the
member of Congress from California.-—
The Celt says that the blood was at first
only upon Herbert’s hands; but now it
is upon the hands of the democratic par-
ty in Congress, who refused to vote for
an investigation of the facts in the case,
The editor of the Celt speaks in high
commendation of the opposition who
generally voted for the investigation.-
The Celt adds the following:
(‘Let them not suppose this matter is
going to drop here. One who seldom
drops anyt‘/ling has it now in hand,
and he distinctly warns the democratic
representatives at Washington, that if
justice is not done on the murderer Her-
bert, they will be held accountable, as
the party who interposed to screen and
protect him from his guilt?

nizes no American or aiiti-American

.a union of the people, of all parties, on
terms of perfect equality, to secure free-

the party policy of the administration,
and by arresting the spirit of slavery ex-
tension and naional domination, to put a

New York, met. at the Franklin House
last evening for the purpose of cor1_s.ider-
ing the action of the Repnblican,;',Con-
vention during the day, in refiising to
receive the communication sent in, by
them. " ‘
Several of the Delegates, present-,
seemed ready to take an extreme course,
and put in the field candidates who were
to be strongly American in sentiment.-—
After a while, however, a more sensible
feeling predominated.
_ It was stated that the Republican
Convention had laid their communication
on the table under an erroneous impres-
sion ofits import, and that when the
matter came to be understood, the mo-
tion to lay on, the table was reconsidered
and referred, with an enthusiasm which
amounted to a satisfactory_ackno\vledg-
ment of an error. ,

the Central American difficulty, with
the threats of the English journals that
an Alliance of the Central American
States backed by'an alliance between
England and France, may be formed to
resist American policy ; and half a doz-
en other matters of less anxious concern
all serving as accompaniments to give
intensity to the general political excite-
ment caused by the near approach of
the meeting of the Presidential Elec-
tioii.
General Pierce has occupied the Pres-
idential office three years and three
months, and the results of his adminis-
tration are present to our view. Attain-
ing office in the midst of profound peace
after a great internal excitement had
abated, and while the spirit of union and
patriotism ran high among the people of
all sections and of all conditions, he now
sees his country agitated by the strifes
of faction as it never before_was agitated
its internal peace is in jeopardy; its ex-
ternal relations disordered, and the peo-
ple irritated, apprehensive and vengeful
their patriotism almost wavering under
the force of their indignation and fear-
fully agitated passions.
We do not say that President Pierce
could have prevented all these things,
but has he done what he could to still
the angry waters of sectional agitation
and make the Government of the Re,-
public . honored at home and respected
abroad. On the contrary, the influences
of his administration have ‘been with
those who have insanely and persever-
ingly labored to revive sectional agita-
tion, and to direct all the ends of party
to the gratification of an unholy and de-
moralizing thirst forplace and power.—
A great and and dignified and‘ impartial
administration will not fail to impress its
own qualities upon the mind of the na-
tion ; and while attracting the confidence
and winning the regard of the people,
it will command the respect of. foreign
nations. , ' ,
If there were_any sincere devotion to
tions of the country, or to the honor and
best interests of the Union among the
party,_the name of not one of the men
prominently identified with the events
which have broughtconfusiou and shame-
upon the Republic would be mentioned
seriously in connection with the Presi-
dency. But unprincipled and conscience
seared demagogués, corrupted by favors
or the promise of them, care nothing for
the peace or honor of their country, if
the sacrifice will bring them the gratifi-
cation of their base desires; and they
can unblushingly, and with a bold, bad
determination, conspire to impose on the
necks of their followers in moralldegra-
dation more intolerable to freemen than
the iron yoke of the military despot.
The state of the Union at the present
time is well calculated to excite the ear-
nest attention of every patriotic citizen,
and upon the spirit and resolution‘ which
the people display in the crisis which
has risen under a weak, irresolute and
inefficient Administration of the Govern-
ment, will depend in a-rrieasure beyond
present calculation the peace and future
welfare of the country.

The order of the day, the plan for an
Asylum in behalf of Idiots, was then ta.-
ken up.
‘ Mr." Hill -made a statement on behalf
of the com. on Humane Institutions, He
referred to the plan proposed. He said
the,large sum they . were compelled to
ask for, ($20,000) had embarrassed the
Committee, but they had resolved to dis-
charge what they believed to be their
duty. The first question asked by the
com. was--‘Is this appropriation de-
manded? It was demanded. There
were over three hundred idiots in the
State under 30 years of age, utterly dis-
regarded by the State. Ttieprevailiug
idea was, perhaps, that these beings could
not be improved. The com. thought
that they had entirely dispelled this idea
Now the question was—Shallwe aban-
don these persous? All the considera-
tous conspiring to nourish and foster the
humane" institutions in our State, con-
spired here to ‘lead us to establish this.
He said it would cost the State more to
abandon this class of beings, than to pro-
vide for them. The support of these
persons now cost $250,000. He said
again Connecticut could not afford to
abandon these beings, for she then would
abandon her glory. Her geographical
extent is small, it is her moral and intel-
lectual power, that gives her pre.emi-
nence. He said, New York had spent
$83,000 for this purpose. Kentucky
had appropriated liberally. He said too
that this institution could be made self
supporting, to some extent, and went on
toshow how. He hoped that party spir-
it would b'e"overc'ome, and this house do
a rioble-and generous act. He closed
very eloquently. ‘
Mr. Russell (advocating the plan) said
the questions to be considered, we_re——-
have we sufficient idiots to demand our
care; arethey susceptiblebf improve.
ment; and what will be the expense,
and can we afl”ord, it ? . He said there
were 1,200 Idiots in tliis.State, as repor-
ted to the commissioners. , It is only ten
years ago that this ‘matter was brought
up in New York-and Massachusetts, at
the same time.. Both have since founded
Iristitutions._ .Dr. S. G. Howe’stest.imo-
iiy was quoted in their favor. Pennsyl-
vania has also expended money’ in this
cause. As to the cost, the. call was for
$20,000. It amounted to eight cents on
a thousand doll_ars. He believed there
was no gentleman here, who would not
pay that, The cost of the support of
these Idiots per’ "week, would be $3.-
stitution. He went on to specify what
the other States ,had done for this. class
of beings. ' He said thatConnecticutbe-
ing the wealthiest State '-in the Union,
in proportion ~ to her population, should
-provide. for her .unfortunates.- He went
on to advocate tlie,resolution at length.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Smith, Carter, Train, Russell andKel-

Shipwreck.
HALIFAX, Saturday, June 14, 1856.
The ship Pallas, Capt. Silliman, from
Cork to Quebec, with 120 passengers,
‘sighted the coast of Cape Breton on the
20th day of May. In the afternoon it
was discovered that the compasses vari-
ed from one another, and the course of
the vessel was then shaped be-
tween Cape North and St. Paul's and
bilged, the sea washed over her. The
passengers became panic stricken and
rushed into the boats, which sunk almost
immediately, Seventy-two persons were
thus drowned. In the morning the Sn-
perintendent of the Island sent off boats
and rescued the remaining passengers.
A vessel had left Sydney to convey them
to Quebec. The ship is a total loss.

Fatal Accident at Stamford.-—WiL

ployee in a file factory at Stamford, was
killed on Saturday last, by being caught
by the fly wheel of the engine and torn
in pieces by its revolutions. The Eu-'
gineer heard an unusual thumping noise
and shutting off the steam, ran into the
room, where he saw the head of the boy
on one side of the room, and the body,
crushed and mangled horribly, revolving
around the main drum. He had no rel-
atives there. Mr. George Elder de-
frayed the expenses of his funeral and
burial was attended bv a large concourse

OF CALIFORNIA.
I-‘OR VICE PRESIDENT,
WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON,
OF‘ PENNSYLVANIA .
The Nominations.
We place at the head of our columns to-
day, the names of Fm-:MoN'r and J onxsrou, as
the candidates whom we shall support for the
offices of President and Vice President of the
United States. We do this because we believe
that the ticket thus formed ought to be sup-
ported by the people of New England and the
Union. It is both American and Republican,
the result of a spirit of‘ patriotic compromise
of which every citizen may be justly proud.
We are free to say fhat we have felt an im-
pulse of pride in reviewing the course of the
American Convention recently held in New
York, and particularly in relation to the
course pursued by the Connecticut delegation
thereto. They went there as Americans, yet
willing to concede every thing but principles
for the sake of overthrowing the cori-iipt, pi-o-
slavery dynasty which now rules, and would
fain ruin the country. Receiving a commu-
cation from the Repnblcan Executive Commit-
tee, they treated it with respect, and by mere-
ly indicating their preferences for candidates
and then appointing a Committee to confer
with the Republican Convention, and adjour-
ning over two days to obtain the Report of
that Committee, they evinced their disposi-
tion to do every thing in their power for the
sake of harmony and iiniou. Treated with
impropriety, to say the least: by fill“-t C°“V°“'
tion, they returned to New York, and 0“ the
declining of Mr. Banks, they showed their at-
tachment to freedom, by placing Col. Fre-
mont in his place. For the sake of their coun-
try, for the sake of principle and human liber-
ty, they sacrificed personal and party pride,
passion, and prejudice, and have formed a
ticket which ought to be invincible. Still
Americans as much as ever, they grapple
manfully with the‘ great, immediate pressing
issue between BLACK smvr: LABOR and FREE
WHITE moon, and propose to dispose with that
in accordance with the dictates of‘ justice and
humanity, even though their Americanism
lies in obeyance during the contest. All hon-
or to the Americans of Connecticut, and New
England, and success to the cause of free
spa».-Ii. a free press, free labor, and FRE-

An Expensive Joke.
One of our market men last we ek had, as (I.
portion of his freight to Wilton, a three gal-
lon demijohn of “fine old Otard” worth from
$15 to $20, which be deposited as be supposed
safely under the, panoply of his vehicle which
he left standing in one of our streets, while
he went to dinner. During his absence some
thirsty rogue espying the prize stole the jug.
The consternation of the Wagoner when ~ the
fact became apparent that he should never
See-more of his precious freight, and the dis-
appointment of the expectant owner, who was
anticipating a “ private nip” in his rural re-
treat, can better be imagined than described.
We make mention of the incident to warn oiir
friends from the interior of the eagerness
with which a certain class in Norwalk go in
for the “search and seizure” clause of our
Maine Law enactment.
Fair and Festival.
The Ladies of the South Norwalk Congre-
gational Society have secured the mammoth
tent belonging to the Agricultural Society,
which will be erected upon their church lot,
and on this Tuesday evening, and to morrow
afternoon and evening, the Fair of the fairest
portion of our fair town, will present, in ad-
dition to their fancy wares, a bill of fare (in-
cluding Ice Creams, etc.,) which will be pro-
nounced a most splendid af-fair, by all who
are so fortunate as to be able to attend.
The Weather.
The thermometer stood 88 deg. on Saturday
and 92 deg. on Sunday. It is needless, there-
fore, to say that it was hot, and that the only
rational proceeding in such case made and
provided, is to repair at once to -Campbell’s,
or Dartois’ Ice Cream Saloons, where their de-
licious Ices and Strawberries tend greatly to
mitigate the horrors ofa scorching sun.

firflow much confidence it is safe to re-

The report of 1853, declared a dividend of six

miserable must be the unfortunates who
find therein no tale to suit their fancy-
There are coquettings for belles at the
watering places, quiet country boxes for
Benedicts and their babies, buttermilk
cows for the Sparrowgrass family, ham
and‘ eggs for country boarders, and
winding Love-lanes for sentimental
clerks and beauties in flats. And there
are Summer romances too, within the
city walls. Sunset strolls in the up
town parks, ice creams at Nihlo’s,
drives (with a cherry-crowned bonnet
beside you) on the avenues, music in
the lager-bier gardens, and housemaid
promenades on the house tops. Then
the strawberry festivals! above all, the
strawberry festivals! Everv little vil-
lage within twenty miles of the metrop-
olis is showing off its female rose-buds.
with delicious’ surroundings of straw-
berries and cream. How these straw-
berries do build churclies, and how they
tie hearts together! They are a prime
article of religious faith, and for a polit-
ical platform commend us to strawber-
ries. There is an emblem of the union
in their harmonious compound. "Free
speech and freemen !” cried a belle,
mindful of leap year. “Free strawber-
ries and Fremont !” replied the bean.-
Republican sentiments, all of them.
We have often wondered why, among
all our summer scenes of love and ro-
mance, our folks take so little to the
over the tide, and what soft iiothiugs
have been said and done in the gcndolas
of Venice. And yet here in our great
country, all canaled with noble lakes
and rivers, we leave their beauties and
pleasures to b’hoys in fastboats, and fast
men in yachts. Probably the course of
true love has been found not to run
smooth in a rough sea, or it may be that
we are constitutionally laid out so ex-
tensively, that we tnrn up our Ameri-
can noses at any thing less than a steam-
ship on the ocean wave,
During the coming fall, our fashiona-
bles are to havea new experience. The
roses gathered at Newport and Sarato-
ga will have their first airing on the
great drive of the Central Park. What
a magnificent boquet-holder! In a few
years it will become the thronged ex-
change of American beauty and fashion,
even excelling the Parisian Long
Champs in its splendor and vriety. This
immense Park is now being laid out by
an able scientific corps, under the direc-
tion-and after the plans of Lieut. Viele,
the Engineer-in-Chief, whose well
known ability guarantees to us a golden
picture of nature improved by art, and
one which will long be the boast of the
nation. Here wealth can exhibit the
just reward of well directed industry
talent, and art can find a study in the
ever varyiuglandscape, and labor can
enjoy a. sweet relief from’ the monotony
of toll. Mayor VVood and Commission-
er Taylor who constitute the Park com-
mission, have well .e.amed the grateful
applause of their fellow .cit_i_zens for thus
promptly commencing this work of gen-
uine humanity. This‘ Park, in all its
