will demand but little care,and tiie own-
or will be at liberty to retrench his more
laborious operations, without curtailing
his means of support. He has made a
horticultural investment, and with the
smiles of Heaven—without which, no
enterprise can succeed—the regular and
handsome dividends may be expected in
their season.
But this matter deserves to be looked
at in a less sordid light. A light more

calm enjoyment—somethiug of that free-
‘ dom from social strife and corroding en-
.-.vy~which -made Eden a type of Heaven,
,; t_he.perfection of earthly bliss, we must
not neglect the culture of trees.
To'ho_ard one’s earnings and gloat over

‘ mensc,
. provident and self-ennobling. To amuse

‘care that leaves no rust in the soul. .It
rather tends to open the heart and let in

"not easily broken, to the scenesof their
‘earliest and purest enjoymeuts. It is
" truly surprising, how much of what is
—.;usu'allv designated love" for home, may
_be resolved, by a little reflection, into
‘a love for trees. Referto the pages
‘of those who have written upon the sub-
'ject‘,= and you will find that this senti-
ment is described in connexion with some
ancient and venerated tree. Some sheaf,
topped perchance, stooping like a guard-
iian angel over the homestead; or per-
‘chance some generous apple or pear tree,
with ‘an equally generous grape vine
hugging its-trunk, surmoiinting its lofty
branches and exhibiting in tempting ar-
-ray‘ their beautiful clusters of rich golden
fruit‘; or some giant sugar maple which
has been tapped so often in spring, that
it looks like‘ some huge, round cartridge
box ; or some gnarled oak,beneath which
the girls gathered acorns for their baby
cups and saucers ; or some yellow-limbed
willow, near the brook, in whose ample
boughs the boys built their cnddies, and
in whose refreshing shade the girls paus-
ed" to rest and watch the, rippling of the
water, as they returned from school du-
ring?~’the long days of summer. Many
there are whose memories will revert to
the hours passed among those venerated
trees, as among the pleasantest of their
lives. ’ .
'1 If, ' then, it is desired that children
should love their home_—that they should
think. of ‘it often with pleasure wlien-they
growup to be men and women, when
they_are steeped to the lips in wordly
cares," when their fathers and mothers are
locked in the slumbers of the tomb—
those fathers and -mothers should take
p_a_ins.to _rriake,home beautiful and attract-
ive ; they should plant trees about it,
and" thus woo the birds of the forest
thitherward. An unsightly house, on a
bare spot, exposed to sun, wind and rain,
will be remembered with some unpleas-
antrecollections. _ “ Home is still home,
be it ever "so homely," says the old pro-
vérlifand it says‘ truly, if the house have
but a"tree to stand sentinel over,-it. A
mud-builtihut is a picturesque object, if
it r_e_st..iu, the shadow of a graceful elm.
But withoufsome such companion, you
may ‘call it a habitation, a dwelling, a
tenement, orwhat suits you, if youwill A
only leave unperverted the social word
‘‘ hQme.f) -
_Speaking in general terms, it may
with truth be said, that a tree is one of
the ‘most be'autiful’things in nature. Airy
and delicate -in is youth, luxurious and
majestic in its prime, venerable and pic-
turesque in its old age, it constitutes in
its various forms, sizes and developments,
the greatest charm and beauty of the
earth—'in all countries. The most varied
outline of. surface, the finest outline of
picturesque material, would be compara-
tively tame and spiritless without the in-
imitiibleiaccompaniment of foliage. Let
those who have passed their whole time
in airichly wooded country—whose daily
visions are deep, leafy glens, forest clad
hills, plains luxuriously shaded, and or-
cha”'rds,t'he branches of whose trees are
groaning "arid bending to the ground
beneath" their weight of rich gold-
en -fruit, transport themselves for a
moment, to the desert, where. but a few
stunted bushes raise their feeble heads
above’ the earth, or to those wild steppes,
whereithe eye wanders in vain for some
leafy: garniture, where the sun strikes
down witlnparching heat, or the wind
sweeps over with unbroken fury, and
they may ‘perhaps learn to estimate, by
contrastf their beauty and value.
The future destiny of fruit culture,
therefore, is that of improvement, But
the most important improvement will
consist _ in the moral influence which
, iriust be exerted by an increase in the at-
tractions of home, which will always re-
sult when family comforts are connected
with rural culture, and where tasteful
plan_ti_ng,of every kind is made to add to

Attachment to home is one of the ele-
ments of patriotism. As trees strengthen
this attachment, it follows that they also
strengthen the sentiment of patriotism.
Here I find closing argument in favor of
tree culture. It is _productive_of a civil
good. It aids in the roaring of good citi-
zens, honest voters, and-iucorrupt free-
men.
As I am drawing near the close of my
remarks, permit me briefly to recapitu-
late. The planting of trees, (if I have
uttered the truth,) is a profitable invest-
ment of capital. It will insure a comfort-
able provision for one’s old age, and for
the tender years of his children. The
culture of trees also contributes to the
development of the moral and social sus-
ceptibilities; It has a tendency to keep
alive and strengthen the sentiment of
love for home. It makes better citizens
and purer patriots.
" But then,” whispers an objector,
“ the uncertainty that trees will live and
do well, when planted, is a great draw.
back upon all this fine prospect. And
besides,- trees will not do as well upon
the soils of New England as they will
in a newer country.” I grant, that in
growing trees, as-well as corn or pota-
toes, or any other crop, there can be no
absolute guarantee of success ; and if
you select soil that is worn out and good
I0!‘ ll0lhiIIg.Whereon red sorrel would die
of starvation. and you make no effort to
restore it to its original fertility, trees
cannot flourish upon it, and of course
will not. But these difficulties may be
easily overcome by planting trees in a
proper manner, and ever after remember
ing in our treatment of them, that they
are living, organized, digesting, breath-
ing creatures—not.dead posts,“ '
In conclusion, I can express no kind-
Iier wish for my dearest friend, than that
he may live to a green old age, at peace
with man and his Maker, and pass it
amid vines and peach trees-—amid plum
and pear trees-—amid apple and cherry
trees, with here aridthere a thrifty elm
of maple, linden or oiik—horse chestnut,
with its spreading head and broad leaves,
or the evergreens, with their conical
forms and beautiful foliage. The moun.
tain ash, with its magnificent clusters of
red berries, or the larch, with its grace-
fnl, drooping branches, which his own
hands have planted, pruned and mulch’:
ed, manured and defended in his and their
earlier years, with none to disturb him
by a note protested, or harrass his mind
by a threatened lawsuit. All this, and
much more, do I’wish most heartily may
.be granted to each and every one of my
attentive hearers. ’
Mr. Bnrlingame-
The Washington corréspondent of the
Springfield Republican, under date of
Nov. 30th, says:
“Mr Bnrlingame came on with the
rest of the Maseachusett Representatives
last night. is wife accompanies him,
and they are stopping with Senator Hale
and family, and Davis and Hall of the
Essex and Plymouth districts of your
State, at the National Hotel, the great
caravansary of this metropolis. Mr._
Bnrlingame is still weak and pale from
his late wearing fever,'but-L is none the
worse for his journey, and with care will
soon recover his accustomed vigor.-
There is a good .deal of curiosity and
anxiety to know what Mr. Brooks will do
as r_egardsMr. Bnrlingame. The former
is understood to feel bitterly, and he has
threatened dire revenge at this session
for the impalement before the ridicule
and contempt of the world, which Bur-
lingame forced him to make of himself
at the last. Some apprehend an at-
tempted assassination, or a brutal, cow-
ardly assault like that on Sumner. But
more likely, the South Carolina hero
will content himself with some coarse
insult of expression or expectoration.-—
For either or all, Mr. Bnrlingame is pre-
pared by cool and sensible purposes.-
He will resent insult, without being
forced tochallenge anybody to a duel.
And if base and brutal force is brought
against him, he will repel in a ready
and manly way. ~- This is a subject over
which there is much speculation and
gossip. Brooks feels goaded by his for-
mer disgrace to some effort to throw his
opponent into a like position; but he
cannot do it, and the only result of any-
thing he may attempt will be to damn
himself more completely.”
Wor.co'r'rvrLLE.—Mr. Editor :—Mrs.
Fainliam, daughter of N. Benjamin, of
this place, whose dead body was brought
here by the cars last week from New
York, as stated in your paper, was killed
by the bursting of a lamp containing the
common Burmlng Fluid ; not Cam-
phene, as you had been informed. ,
This affords another warning against
the useof this fluid. Hundreds have
within a very few years lost their lives
by it. Will people never be wise enough
to give it up’! It cannot be used safe-
ly in any family. It is sometimes said,
it is safe to use it if one is c_areful—that
is a mistake, But for the sake of arc.
gument, grant it ;——wbo is not some-
times careless. The sad death of Miss
Seymour in Colebrook, occasioned by
this fluid, is fresh in the minds of most
of yoiu readers. To such as still use it
I would say—pray, banish this instru-
ment of death from our dwellings, as
you value your own ives and the lives
of your families.
It may make a pleasant light—it is
not cheap—most important of all it is
not saje. Your lamps can be converted
into oil lamps for a trifle. Oil tops can
readily be fitted on in place of the fluid
tops.— Winsted Herald.

The Policy of Mr. Buchanan.
We are not of those who avow in advance,
their intention to make war upon the coming
administration. Ourconrse in the recent can-
vass has been governed by attachment to great
principles, rather than by devotion to party or
preferences for candidates. If, therefore, the
principles for which we have contended are to
be adopted and sustained by the future Execu-
tivc, we shou d be recrearit to our own cou-
victions of duty, were we to continue in the
maintainance of a ‘factions opposition.
But it must be borne in miud,that the great
political doctrines which were held by the
supporters of John C. Fremont, were neither
of a temporary or local character. The de-
feat of a candidate touches not the truth or
the importance of those doctrines. Their suc-
cessful applicatiou to one Territory does not
diminish the necessity for their application to
all other Territories.
The fundamental idea of the AMl-:RICAN-RE-
PUBLICAN principle. as understood in Connec-
ticut, is this: that the institution of Slavery
isfiessentially aristocratic in its nature-that,
wherever it prevails, the worst evils of an
a,ristocracy—supremacy of the few, abject in-
't‘erioril;y of the many, dignity for idleness,
degradation for labor, education only for the
wealthy and ignorance for the poor-iueviti»
bly follow ' that it is the bouuden duty of the
people of the United States, in whom, and in
whom alone, is vested the sovereignty of the
National Territories, to prevent the extension
of so bllghting an institution over any portion
of the federaldomain, not yet embraced with-
in a State organization, and that ran PEOPLE
are to exercise their sovereignty for the ac-
complishment of this prevention. through their
common agent, the Federal Government, and
whenever and wherever necessary for that
purpose, by the action of the Legislative de-
partment thereof. -
We need hardly point out how diametric-
ally opposed is this doctrine to the dogmas of
the Cincinnati Platform. We hold Slavery as
but the correlative word for Aristocracy ;—
the former indicating, the condition of the
bondmen, and implying the latter as the con-
dition of the master. And this is the real
cause of the hostility, so prevalent in New
England, to the extension of the system. The
purest representative of Democracy which the
world ever saw, exists, and for years has ex-
isted in these six north-eastern States. We
have experienced its blessings and learned to
love it, and to hold fast to it; we recognize
in Slavery its deadliest enemy—an enemy
whose further triumphs we are compelled by
every patriotic conviction to resist. We say
that Freedom is not simply equal to, but it is
better, than Slavery, that Democracy is better
than Aristocracy. The Cincinnati creed, on
the other hand, proclaims in the face of the
civilized world, that Slavery and Freedom are
equally right, equally/just, equally beneficial;
that Aristocracy and Democracy are equally
Republican, equally in accordance with the
spirit and letter of the Constitution; and in
order that both may have free scope in the
Territories, it renounces the sovereignty of the
wnou: PEOPLE over the national domain, and
vests it in the scattered settlers of the wilder-
trees.
The two doctrines are utterly incompatible,
and forever incapable of‘ compromise. One or
the other of them—Freedoni or Slavery, De-
mocracy or Aristocracy—.-must ultimately
wholly prevail. _ .
In view of these things, while we shall make
no factions war upon future Administration,
we are unable to expect from it any recogni-
tion of the principles which we hold most es-
sential to the safety of the nation and to gen-
uine liberty. The strong tide of free senti-
ment in the East. the North. and the West,
may compel the new Executive to yield to the
admission of Kansas as a free Slate ; we trust
it will. But our principles will not,eveu then,
have performed, their mission ; other Territo-
ries will rcmuin’; the spirit of annexation will
demand a further widening of the national
limits, and wherever a space shall be found
for the operation of those principles. either in
our present domain or in that which is yet to
be acquired—iu Utah and New Mexico, in the
Mesilla Valley, in Tamaulipas, or in Sonora-
wherever, beyond the limits of existing States,
our flag shall float, it must wave over lands
, whose institutions are DEMOCRATIC, and whose
Lanonnns ARE FREE! A

out, at last Monday’s Town Meeting, as sur-
mised by us. The vote of the ‘Democracy, as
indicated by their " regular” ticket, has got
reduced down to 89—rather a discouraging
enterprise, the effort to “ crush out” Republi-
canism in Ntrwalk. The regular business of
the Town is being transacted to-day, (Monday)
and a sharp look-out is being kept, we under-
stand, to see what has been done with’ the
“ dear people’s money.” The Swartwouts and
Schuylers will be made to tremble to-day, in
the opinion of some people. _
The State Convention.
In our issue of to-day may be found the call
for a Sun: CONVENTION agreed upon by all
the organizations in this State, which were
united in the support of Joan C. Famioxr, in
the recent Presidential campaign. The Con-
veution is_f.o be held at New Haven the 8th
day of January.
The consolidation of the Opposition, fore-
shadowed by this call, is the death blow to
Shamocracy in‘ Connecticut. The path is
bright before us. with no clouds ofdiscoalent,
no inkling of division to mar the prospect.-

.-B0l'0|l§II Meeting.
The Borough Meeting last Wednesday eve-
ning, was what might be denominated a JV‘or-
wallrfizzle. The factions opposition of certain
persons who reside out of its limits, who enter
the meetings, (and in some instances control
its actions,) without being interested to the
extent of one dime in the success or defeat of
the Borough system, is simply disgraceful ;--
and if they possessed the least moiety of decon-
cy or self-respect, they would despise them-
selves for it. We feel nothing but an earnest
desire that the old-fogy slip-shod and effete
sbiftlessness, which has characterized our vil-
lage for the past two years, should be done
away with, and a judicious but thorough
brushing-up be substituted, and in’ this feeling
we believe a large majority of the property-
holders hereaboufs participate; but there is
little encoirragement, for efforts towards re-
form, if parties living outside the Borough
limits are to come in and control the action of
a meeting. We believe_ our property-holders
are willing tounite upon any feasible plan for
effecting these so-much-needed reforms. The
recklessness which has permitted the dilapida-
tiou and utter ruin of all oirr appliances for"
successfully combatting a coufiagration, should
we be visited with such a calamity, is one of
the saddest features of all this petty bicker-
ing about some unimportant details of‘ a’ Bor-
ough system; and will not our friends yield
a little on all sides, if thereby there may
be brought about a unison of sentiment
and harmony of action? Let the questions of
limits, boundaries, assessments, etc., be fully
and fairly settled, and such a Borough system
as we need, be permanently established. The
want of action at the last meeting, is of no ef-
fect, we presume, as the old ofiicers must hold
over till their successors are appointed, by the
express terms of the Charter. So far.‘ aswe
have been able to canvass public sentiment
about the Bridge,it seems to be the prevalent
desire that they should go ahead and- collect
the taxes already accrued, pay off all claims,
and commence a new, energetic and econom-
ical career. ‘
Our Congressional Nomination.
We find the following speculations in the
Winsted Herald, is leading Litchfield County
paper :—‘
Up for Congrcss.—We are perhaps
not exactly authorized to announce the
following gentlemen as candidates for
Congressmen in this District, though
they would like enough all as lief visit
Wasliintoii in that capacity as stay at
home. First, we have the present in-
cumbent, Hon. W. W. , Welch. We
are not at liberty to say that he really
desires a re-election, though it would be
quite natural. Second, we have Hon.
Gideon H. Hollister of Litchfield, who
we have no doubt would be glad to get
away from Litchfield Hill for a while-
we should if we were he. . Thirdly, we
have J. E. Dunham, merchant and Bank
Commissioner, from Bridgeport Again
Lieut, Gov. Holley of Sailsbury has
just been getting married, and no doubt
the election bauble would add a bliss or
two to the honey-inoon. This sugges-
tion is unauth orized, however. Lastly,
on the Republican side, we may men-
tion Hon. 0. S. Ferryof Norwalk, whose
chances we consider, if not first on the
list, fully as good as second. He is a
lawyer, of more than average ability and
standing, an elegant speaker, a courteous
gentleman, a candid, out-spoken man
and a safe, reliable Republican. He
will undoubtedly be the choice in Fair-
field County, and we are not yet aware
that Litchfield will object.
Wm. B. Bishop of Bridgeport, Pres-
ident of the Naugatuck Railroad Com-
pany, we suppose will be the Demo-
cratic candidate for the same office.
he-Our brother Clark is right as to the
choice of Fairfield County, and we learn that
this preference is received with almost entire
unanimity by our friends in Litchfield County.
We ourself should like to see the present in-
cumbent returned, as he has done his duty
most faithfully, with credit to himself and non-
or to the State, and to the entire satisfaction
of his constituency: but many of our friends
desire a continuance of the prevailing custom
of “ turn about,” after a second nomination-
and should this course be adopted, we think
there is little doubt upon whom the nomination
will be conferred.
done in the strongest, neatest, and withal in
a legal manner, go to those industrious sons
of Vulcan, constituting the firm of Waterbury
do Duncan. They’ll hammer all the iron
your systems or vehicles may require, with-
out tireing your patience, or stealing immod-
erately into your purses. "Thinking ‘ that in
their advertisement to-day their modesty
would not permit them to speak for them-
selves, we spoke for them, for we’ll consent to
lynch-ing if you do not find them first-rate
felloes from tongue to hub.
A New Enterprise.
We received, some weeks since, from Sarca-
iusi P. FITCH, EsQ., of Wilton, a specimen of
the Chinese Sugar Cane, or Sugar Millet, ‘re-
cently sent out by the Patent Ofiice, more as
an artscle for fodder than anything else, we
believe ; yet Mr. Fitch, with no appliance for
maceration, has produced a quantity of as fine
‘molasses as the deepest dyed Yankee could
rdesire for his griddle-cakes. The sample sent
us was very clear, and of dark mahogany col-
or, and possessing a slight maple-molasses fia-
vor—rcndering it, to our palate, superior to
any of the sugar house syrups so much in vogue.
-The plant can be readily grown in our lati
tude, and we cannot see why here is not a new
as very important agricultural interestthroivn
open to our enterprising farmers. Sugai 5
and molasses have, owing in a measure to
diminished crops, bgt more particularly to the
increased consumption, advanced about 60 per
cent. during the past three years, and we com-
mend the experiments of Mr. Fitch to the at-
tention of our cultivators.
New Heater.
S. & L. Curtis have secured the agency of
one of the best devices, in our opiiiion,yet iii-_
vented for heating stores, halls, school rooms,
and large rooms ge;.ernlly, with an economic-
ai outlay of fuel. They have fitted up one in
our ofiice, which pi-omjpes well, and wherevee
they have been used, give great satisfaction.
The novelty of the invention consists in] the
manner of feeding the sfove,tl1e supplies of
coal being fed from underneath the fire on the
injection principle. By this means, all the
smoke, cinders and gas—-(-a great thing for
printing ofiices)—are entirely consumed, and
help to make up the heat. By anofigiual cou-
trivauce of our own, we have had ours conver‘
ted into a sort of portable hot—air furnace, from
which, although we have the coldest room in
the northern latitudes, we anticipated the hap-
py result of keeping comfortable, with the
consumption of one-"third less coal than
heretofore. At present, it seems to be the
leading attraction of the town, and we fear
we shall have to levy an assessment of an ex-
tra tun of‘ coal upon our friends, for the extra
amount consumed in illustrating its feeding
principle. We shall refer to it again, as we
become better acquainted with its virtues.

Aid for Kansas.
At ii. meeting of the citizens of Stamford,
to devise means for extending pecuniary as-
sistance to the oppressed and destitute Free
State settlers in Kansas, liolden tit the Assem-
bly Room, Nov-. 27th, 1856.
_ Wm. H. Holly was appointed Chairman.
David L. Scofield, Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been eta‘
fed and remarked upon by several gentlemen,
Hon. Truman Smith, Rev. E. B. Huntington,
‘and Mr. Jonathan D. Weeks were appointed a
committee to present resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting.
The committee having conferred together
presented the following Resolutions, which
after a full discussion by the Hon. Truman
Smith, the Rev. Messrs. Huntington and Elli-
ott, and other gentlemen, and the blanks for
names of committees filled, were unanimously
adopted, to wit:
1. Resolved, That as the sense of this meet-
ing an immediate effort should be made to
raise in this Slate for the relief of the op-
pressed and destitute Free State settlers in
Kansas, a fund equal in amount to the vote
cast for John C. Fremont, that is to say, the
sum of $42,715.
2. Resolved, That in view of the advanced
season of the year, and the probable closing
of the Missouri River at no remote day, no
other than pecuniary relief can now be of any
avail, and we recommend our friends to act
upon this idea in making their contributions.
3. Resolved, That the numerous outrages
committed on those settlers by desperadoes,
unrestrained alike by the laws of God and
mau—outrages which for a long time were
displayed in the form of murder, robbery and
arson, and nearly every other crime which
has disgraced humanity, but which have more
recently assumed the disguise of judicial pro-
ceedings, convicting men for felonious as-
saults, aud condemning them to the infamy of
the chain and ball, for no other crime than the
sacred right of self-defense, combined with
the extreme destitutiou to which they have,
by these enormities been reduced, constitute
a case which, in our judgement should make
an irresistable appeal to the sympathies of
the lovers of Freedom and Free Institutions
throughout the State.
4. Resolved, That we respectfully suggest
the name of the Hon. Thomas Scott Williams,
late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
Errors of this State, as a suitable person to.
act as Treasurer of this Fund, and that so far
as we are concerned we request him to act in
that capacity, and to dispense our benefac-
tions through such channels as he may deem
discreet.
5. Resolved, That His Excellency William
T. Minor, Rev. E. B. Huntington and Hon.
Truman Smith, be and hereby are appointed
a Committee to bring this subject to the no
tics of the People of Connecticut at the earli-
est practicable moment.
6. Resolved, That Wm. H Holly, David L.
Scofield, Jonathan D. Weeks, Isaac S. J ones,
Seth S. Cook, George L. Brown, Dr. Hulburt,
H. Bulkley, John Clawsdn, Dr. How, George
W. Smith, John W. Hubbard and Edwin Bishop
be and they are hereby appointed aCommittee
to take up the contributions of the friends of
Kansas in this town ; that they be requested
to designate some suitable person to visit ev-
ery other town in this Senatorial District, and
that said Committee, after defrayiug all nec-
essary expenses, remit the balance to Judge
Williams, as Treasurer.
'7. Resolved, That by prompt action, the
friends of Kansas in this State can make, and
ought to make to the sufferers in that unfortu-
nate Territory a Christmas present of 342.715.
We pledge ourselves to do our part.
8. Resolved, That the foregoing resolutions
together with the proceedings of this meeting
be signed by the Chairman of this meeting,
and couutersigned by its Secretary, and that
the same be published in papers friendly to
this object, in this State and in the City of
New York.
After the adoption of the foregoing revolu-
tions, further remarks were made by several
gentlemen ou,the state of affairs in Kansas.
Ou motion, the Chairman then called upon
those present to make their contributions at
once, which call was responded to as follows:

Fire.
On Saturday ofterneon last, about 3 o’cl’k.
the barn of Stephen Smith. Esq., was con-
sumed with its contents of about 30 tons of
hay, and a large quantity of grain. Fortu-
nately his eatlle and horses were out of the
barn. The origin of the fire is shrouded in
mystery. A few moments before the flames
burst from the burn, a strange, rough looking
man, described as of medium size, tattered
garments, long sandy hair and whiskers, fiat
cap without front piece, and of excited man-
ner, was seen to rush from the street into the
barn by the females of the family, who alone
were at home at the time. He was not seen
to come out, and it is supposed that the man
was undoubtedly a monomaniac. As noth-
ing has been seen or heard of him since, it is
a matter of conjecture whether he escaped or
not. As this is the second barn burnt within
a short time, without explanation or cause, it
behooves our people to keep a close lookout
for the creature described, if he should still
be prowling about. Judge Smith’s loss must
be about one thousand dollars over and above
insurance. I
Our Steamboat.
We would call attention to the adv. of Capt.
Greens in reference to his winter arrange-
ments between Norwalk and New York. The
Captain had contemplated hauling up his Boat
from the present week and preparing for early
operations on the route in the spring, as the
business for the past two weeks did not seem
to warrant a continuance of their trips during
the winter, but yielding to the solicitations of
those who are interested in keeping the Har-
bor open during the winter, and of others de-
sirous of availing themselves of the conveni-
ences afforded only by the boat, he has deter-
mined to run the Hart up and down twice a
week. We think this arrangement will be
satisfactory to the public,‘ and the accommo-
dating spirit evinced by Capt. Greene. should
be reciprocated by a generous support.
Farm FOR SALE.—We would call the atten-
tion o‘ any of our readers in want of a farm,
to the advertisement of Mr. R. Braithivaite, of
Fairport, N. Y. We have been upon the pre-
mises,aud know it to be a most excellent farm,
and such as would suit the tastes and equal
the expectations of the most euterpr-isingFair.

all the condemnation Pierce has brought ll pun
his own head, there was still a sort of sympa-
thy fclt for him, among his opponents. and de-
sire that the miserable man should " die in
peace,” but this last diatribe of low partisan
slang, is so undignified, so uumanly, so in-
sultiiigly contemptuous and false, that no
measures of language can express the disgust
which it must engender in every honest heart.
Even his own best friends do not attempt to
justify it, and pronounce it only worthy of
the lowest stump oratory. Poor Mr. Pierce,
shame and contempt shall cover thy memory.
We give below the opinions of others :
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says:— I
“ No Northern Democrat here de-
fends Pierce’s pettifogging in the Mes-
sage relative to the late election and
sectional parties. On the contrary, it is
generally denounced as insulting, imper-
tineut and silly. This opinion is con-
curred in by all Southern men even, who
are not Pierce’s partizaiis, Senator
Bright denounces it openly.”
From the JV‘. Y. Cour. arid Enq. (Fremonl.)
" As was expected, the President, la-
bors with peculiar effort, to justify him-
self and this Kansas matter before histo-
ry ; but he has presented nothing which
will induce history to acquit him. For
aught he has said, he will stand before
future generations as a ruler who has
violated the most solemn pledges that lie
the internal tranquility of the coirutry,
and as a ruler through whom the fundi-
mental principle of republican goverii-
meut have received greater violation
than has ever yet been known in the
history of our country."
From Boston Daily Chronicle, Republican.
“ The tone of the Message will sur-
prise none who remember the history
of the Administration. It bids fair to
die in its sins."
From The New York Times.
“ President Pierce dies hard. He
does not make what Dame Quickly calls
a " good end.” Instead of dropping off
like old Jack Falstaff, in a gentle mood,
" babbling 0’ green fields," he dies
cross—scolding and cursing like a drab.
His message, sent in to Congress
yesterday, is the most unbecoming and
malignant party diatribe we have ever
seen from so high a quarter. One half
of this document is devoted to a studied
falsification of political history, as the
basis of a libel upon those of the Ameri-
can voters (over two millions in num-
ber) who disapprove of his Adininstra-
tion.”
from the Providence Journal ( W'hig.)
" He charges all the blame of the sec-
tional troubles upon the North, accuses
the North of hostility to the South, of
aggressions-upon Southern institutions ;
and finds no distinction between a desire
to prevent the illegal extension of sla-
very and a determination to wipe it out
in blood and fire where it exists. This
part of the message is a deliberate falsi-
fication of the truths of history, a delib-
erate insult of that part of the Union to
which the President belongs, and ‘ of
which he is unworthy.”
From the Hartford Press, (RcpubIican.)
“ The President uudoubtdedly feels
the reproof he has received, not only by
the people at large, btit from his party
friends, who declined to make him their
candidate notwithstanding he sought a
nomination. Availing himself of his
position, he has taken the opportunity of
stating his case, and making his justifi-
cation on false assumptions and equally
false conclusions, intermingled with
calumnious representations of the opiu-
ions of those from whom he differs.”
From the Springfield Republican.
"Let thanks be given that it is the last!
Surely it is the worst.”
From the Bridgeport Standard, (W'hz'g.)
“ Those who are in haste to see what
General Pierce can say in defence of Ne-
braslta/ism-—\vhat new libels upon New
England he can utter, or how he can, to
the very last, toady to the Slave interest-
those who wish to see all this, will have
no difficulty in looking up the whole
document ”
Shocking Accident.-—Tiie Hnrnells-
ville Tribune gives the following par-
ticulars of a railroad accident, which
occurred at that place on Monday last :
" ‘As the mail train which leaves for
Buffalo at one o'clock p. ni.,, was cros-
sing the railroad bridge near Thacher’s
Mill, Mrs. Mary O'Connor, wife of
James O ’Conner, whose residence is
near the crossing, discovered her young-
gest child, a boy of eighteen months, on
the track, some three or four rods from
the house, and the train moving toward
him. Stimulated by that feeling which
uoiie but a moilier can feel for the safety
of her offspiug, when in immediate
danger, she rushed forward to save him ;
but, alas! in her reckless effort to save
her child, both mother, and child were
shockingly crushed between the wheels
of the =- moving -train. Both of the
woman's legs from the knees down-
ward were literally mashed to a pum-
mice, and she was otherwise so severely
injured, that she died about three hours
after. One of the child's legs was also
crushed, and he was otherwise so se-
riously injured, that he died on the fol-
lowing day."
Shocking Suicide at the 'I'remont
House.-Mr. John B. Fairbanks, for-
merly connected with the Life Illutra-
ted, a plirenological journal, committed
suicide on Monday at the Tremont
House, corner of 4th street anil 6th ave-
nue, where he had been living some
time, The cause of the fatal act is not
known, Mr. Fairbanks took his break-
fast about 8 o’clock, appeared well and
in usual spirits. After a brief and
agreeable conversation with the land-
lady on ordinary matters he proceeded
to a vacant rooiu in the upper story, and
opening the window, deliberately jump-
ed out. In the fall he lodged on an iron
fence, dashing his brains over the side-
walk, and lacerating his body in a most
shocking manner. Deceased was about
40 years of age. He had an office with

; the Editor of the Gazette .-
SIR: In this day’s Tribune co"-
[egpondence fmur Kali;-‘us, I read the
following :
"I saw zi man today. Wl-on‘! I had
liiiowii in New England. He said to
me; ' 1 came to Kansas with 81.500 in
money; I have served through the wholt’
war; I have a wife and nine children;
they have lived for a fortnight on green
corn and squash; there is in my house,
neither merit nor potatoes, nor meal, nor
30111’. nor money; nor do I know where
to look for any. But I shall live and
die in Kansas.’ ”
The. writer further says :-
C
“ If money is to lie. or can be raised
in behalf of suffering Free Kansas, let it
rather be employed in sustaining the suf-
fering and impoverished here, than in
sending other emigrants ”
Kansas needs more men. let me add,
but such only should go as can support
themselves. Three men, well fed and
clothed, are better than ten faiiifsliing
ones. Friends of Freedom! awake, I
beseech you, to action. Friends of Hu-
manity! lost moments now are golden
sands of life vanished forever!
This is the 10th of October. Beyond
the limits of civilization, four hundred
* weary miles of prairie intervenes between
us and the perishing!
This is the 10th of October, and soon
‘hose broad wastes will lie buried be-
neath acres of snow !
When that time shall have come, our
brave but suffering people will be cutoff
as by a wall, from the entire North. and
unless previously provided for, will be
left a prey to all the villainies and devil-
ish airocities of the monsters who have
thus far so cruelly sconrged them. Who,
then shall succor the widow in her deso-
lation ? What hand shall feed her inno-
cents, perishing by cold and hunger ?—
Iu that still hour, where shall the brave
defenders of Freedom look for relief?
Upon the exertions of T0-DAY, depend
the issues of ages!
The time may seem shcrt to us, oh,
friends! between now and Noveinber—
the time may seem short to us between
this and the crowning of March ! We
are all looking, and I trust all workfug;
for the election of our beloved Fremont,
the hope and morning star of crushed
and suffering Kansas. But consider.
oh, ya well fed ones! consider, oh, ye
comfortably clad ones! consider, oh, ye
well sheltered ones! that time wastes
slowly for those who are waiting their
hour of deliverance. To the perishiug,
hours are like days, and days are weary
years!
This is the 10th of October. Despot-
ism yields grudgingly to Freedom only
the desert for a highway.
There is no Missouri for us! The riv-
ers of America are no longer open to
freemen. By and by, when our noble
“ Pathfinder” shall be our brave Path-
opener! then shall f.eemen once more
smile,--then shall Kansas be saved !
But, while watching and waiting and
praying and working for this great con-
summation, let us likewise seize the pas-
sing moments to fortify and sustain Lib-
erty’s brave defenders on Kansas soil.-—
Friends, my heart is full, and I could say
much. but will say no more. _ You will
heed this appeal. It must be so.
You ask now for information. Listen:
On the 4th of last July, the citizens of
Kansas appointed a "Central Kansas
Committee” within the Territory, thir-
teeu in number, chosen one from each
district of the twelve into with Kansas is
divided, and a thirteen man from Law-
rence.
On the 9th of July, at Buffalo, the
friends of Kansas in Convention chose a
National Kansas Committee without the
Territory, sixteen in number, one from
each of the Free States, with supplemen-
tary working members from Illinois and
Kansas. _
The headquarters of this organization
is at Chicago. W. F. M Amy, at that
point, is our indefatigable and faithful
transportaiioii agent.

cert with the Ceiitial Committee. The

no time be lost in sending them in.-
VVhere it can be done, it is best to mark
and send direct to " W. F. M. Amy,
Chicago,” paying freight for the same
when you can afford it In such cases,
mark your consignments " min,” and by
letter apprise Mr. Arny of this fact.-
As the expense of transportation is great,
send new rather than half-worn clothing.
Clothing packed in barrels lined with
“tar paper,” will go without risk of in-
jury from dampness. The interstices
around and among the goods may be fill-
ed with rice, beans, and such like food
as will not be injured by impregnation
from the garments or tar-paper. Blank-
et-shawls and blankets will be very ac
ceptable to the shivering settlers this
winter. Pins, needles, thread, buttons,
and such small tliings, should not be
overlooked. Where you can, send gray
or green flannel, rather than red or white.
The reasons for this are important.

tained by writing to W. F. M. ARNY,

In the lady circiiles it was filmed that

posed to the union, and wants to preside
over the White House herself, and do all

of course thinks herself equal to it here;

place, it will be the first instance in
American history of a President elect

From the New Y ark Evening Post.
It is‘well understood that the Pres-
ident Polk, who was an indefatigable
writer, left a diary of the administration,
coniaiiiiiig some very querulous obser-
vations oii the conduct of Mr. Buchanan,
then his secretary of state. This re-
cord it was the ambition of his life to
have published nfter his death, On this,
he desired the reputation of himself and
his administration to rest, and no doubt,
he left insructious for its publicatiou.—'-
Mrs. PoIk’s marriage to Mr. Buchanan,
therefore, in such a case, might involve
a conflict of duties. As the widow of
Mr. Polk, they must feel bound to pub-
lish, as the wife of Mr. Bucliauan, to
suppress, these damaging revelations. ~
