' t The Lsl§'veholders,of Missouri are prin-

gcipallyiin the‘ hemp growing counties of
‘the West, along on the borders, of Kan-
sas and‘."'Ark'ansas. \We. are informed
‘ there are not over two thousand slaves
.,in' St. Louis, in a population of 120,-
_ooo.
’ In a discussion which took place in the
’ Missouri Legislature, on the nomination
_'of a_Mr. Palm, an acknowledged eman-
_. cipationist, to the oflice of Bank Direc-
ttor, the following remarks were made :

Mr Brown, of St Louis-—Whenevcr
the coutest comes between the labor 4 of
,the white man and the labor of the slave,
I shall take my stand in favor of the white
man.’ ,Here in Missouri, I shall support
-the rights, the dignity, and the welfare
,.of the 800,000 non-slaveholders in prefer-
ence toupholding and perpetuating the
dominancy .of "the 22,000 slavcholders
' who inhabit our State. My sympathies
are with the toiling m_asses and not with

' the-privilegedfew, and while__I shall be

far from designing any violation of the
rights of property of any class, yet I con-
ceive his labor to be as much the property
of the whitelaboring man, as the slave is
property of the slaveholder, and much en-
titled to the fostering care and the pro-
tection of government as any vested right

I shall be gladto see both protected

so long asthey may be co-existent, but I‘

"shall earnestly look forwad -to the day
when by a wise and salutary "system of
Emancipation, Missouri may rid herself
of the evils and incubus of slavery, and
open ‘wide her rich harvest fields and un-
bosom her mineral wealth to the active

_ ‘energy of her free white population.-—

Snch'are my sentiments, sir, upon ‘this
subject, and I scruple not_ to avow them

‘ openly and with no shadow of conceal-

ment. -

Mr. Clover, of St. Louis-—I shall cor-
dially vote for Mr. Palm because he is an
Emancipationist ;—-because, as I have
learned from the honorable Senator from
St. Genevieve, who put him in nomina-
tion, that sooner or later, as the good
people of Missouri shall determine, he will
vote for ridding the State of slavery by
gradual emancipation.

* * * * ' If Mr. Palm adhears
to the views, I am prepared to vote for
him, not merely for the comparatively un-
important office of Bank Director, but for
some more important oflice—-some politi-
cal office of influence, the electionto which
maygive opportunity for the expression
of the popular will upon the emancipa-
tion of slaves in ' this State. I assure

members of the. Senate and House of‘

Representatives that the election of Mr.
Palm will be hailediby myself ,and others
upon‘ this floor, and by thousands through-
out the State, as the first auroral gimmer
of a dawning of a day when a political
party, havingthis great purpose for its
end, will intimate a policy which is neces-
sary for the development of all resources
of this mightystate, for securing to it its
rightful position in .the Union, and for
' multiplying the prosperity, wealth_ and
greatness of its people. (Applause.)
Mr. Palm was elected, notwithstanding
his well known sentiments on Emancipa-_
tion. 3 ‘
The _St. ,.L0m'-i. Democrat--lately a
leading Benton paper—comes out _boldly
and stouglyfor Emancipation, as calcu-
lated for. the good of the State. The

' election of this'B_’a‘nk Director is nothing

in itself, fbut itbecomes of importance as
showingthe" ‘chrifeintiof feeling in the State.

Congressional Convention

We give in another column a full report of
the action of the Congremional Convention,
and the result of its action. As we remarked
in our last, we were fully satisfied that the
nomination lay between Mr. Wclch and Mr.
Ferry, and although it had been our convic-
tion that Dr. Wclch would be re-nominated,
the nominating Convention has decided in
favor of our esteemed fellow townsman, and
of course we cannot but express our gratifi-
cation at the result. Mr. Ferry is a young
gentleman not unknown to fame, throughout
this and adjoining States, not only as a legis-
lator,tbut for his fine powers of oratory and
earnest, whole-souled, enthusiasm in whatev-
er cause he espouses. He did good service in
the right cause, in last Fall's campaign, and
the immense majorities rolled up in the towns
where he addressedrthe psoplmevince the effec-
tivcness and power of his style of address.-
He certainly deserves well of n his constituents'
and will be triumphantly elected.

Au earnest. but honorable contest, was
maintained by the friends» of other candidates
in the Convention, but the friends of Doctor
Wclch finally yielded to the claim set up ‘by
the Norwaik Delegation, that by virtue of
custom and usage,.the nomination belonged
to Fairfield County. _ Dr. Wclch having twice
received the nominstlonas did Dr. Butler,
and as per ancient and honorable precedent.
It was claimed by some of Dr. W.’s friends,
that a failure to re~nominate him might be
construed into a tacit endorsement of the
slanders of Sweeney, but the bare allusion to
the unpleasant dilllzultics which now embar-
rass the oificial position of Dr. Wclch, was
enough to bring out a unanimous expression
of continued confidence in his virtuous action
and integrity. .

Some have complained that Dr. Welck’s
friends should have withdrawn his name at on
earlier period. We think that they made a
mistake in not so doing, but it may all be par-
doned in view of their attachment and parti-
ality for their candidate. His supporters fi-
nally came over to the support of Ir. Ferry
in hearty good earnest, and having secured
his nomination we are confident will not rest
idle until they have elected him by an unpro-
cedented majority. As for Dr. Welch,we very
much mistake if the people of Connecticut
have yet done with him.

————--ow-‘Qua?-—:—

. Mr. Perry’: Lecture.

The Lecture to be given by lir. Ferry on
Wednesday evening at Phoenix Hall, will, we
presume, draw out a large attendance of our
citizens, not only from an appreciation of his
eloquence, in this community, but from an
additional interest which must now be felt in
such an exposition of his opinions, as must
necessarily be made, in discoursing upon a
subject of so much popular interest asthat
of our Federal Convention, and the charac-
terl of the men who composed it, must par-
take of.

'1'h'o John Hart.

Scarce had that “Blue Bird,” and Robin
announced themselves, before we heard the
Whistle of the public's old favorite, the John
Hart, at her whurfsgain at South Norwalk.-
True to his pledge, Capt. Green has presented
his boat as a medium of freights and passage
to and from N. Y. for the sccomodation of
our citizens, notwithstanding the very indiffe-
rent encouragement given him last fall. We
think that a finer field or operations is before
him this session, and he has taken Time by the
forelock, and can now, we think, fully estab-
lish a permanent and paying "route, as it is
evident that a greater amount of business in-
terests are to be ‘developed and transacted in
Norwalk this year than ever before; yet we
do think (acknowledging the advantages of a
good Steamer, as all ourcitisens do, and run-
ning at so low a rate of passage and tori! of
frcight,) those who are able should make some
special i-fort to sustain Capt. Greene in his
lnudable endeavors. The necessities of a good
and rapid Boat are not only going to be aug-
mented by the freights of the Hat Factories,
Lock Factory, sic... established the past sea-
son, but the discontinuance of the running of
the cars on the New Haven Railroad below
25th street, after the first of lay next,is going
to make the conveniences of passage and
freight by Boat doubly important and indis-
pensable.__ If we consult our own interests, and
the best interests of the town, we will do all
in our power to sustain Capt. Greene and the
John Hart.

S-We had prepared a full report of
the evidence upon which the Corruption
Committee have presumed to recommend
the expulsion of Dr. Wclch, among oth-
ers, which to our regret we are compelled
to lay over till next week. Sufice it to
say, it is of the most flimsy character and
such as would not stand before any court
or jury in the land where a single farth-
ing’s value was at stake, and ive utter for
one, our decided protest against robbing
a man of Dr. Welch’s antecedents and
uusullied reputation of what is more sa-
cred than money, on so pittiful a want of

reliable evidenc.

The Lecture of Rev. J. P. Thompson last
Wednesday evening, was ‘really one of the
most instructive and valuable entertainments
of thekind we ever listened to. It ubounded
not only in chaste and beautiful conceits, and
poetic images,but was richly fraught’ with
the noblest sentiments ofPatriotism and Chris-
tianity. The lecture was emphatically in-
sfrucfioe, as well as entertaining, and we re-
gret the wretched condition of the roads and
walks prevented a larger number from being
present to profit by his eloquent labor, but
those who were present were amply repaid
for their attendance, and speak of the Lecture
in the highest terms of satisfaction aud'de-

bluer before the month is out.

hold of the real truth. of things, in politics,

“Tun Vssr-Pocxsr CONVENTION” is
the name very happily bestowed upon
that sham of an American State Council
which met at Hartford, Ct., last week, by
the Bridgeport Standard. , A proper rep-
resentation would have given 300 mem-
bers ; where as the following is the
precise constituency of the body by
counties :—Fairfield county 3, Litchfield
0, Tolland 1, Windham 1, New London,
1, Middlesex,3 New Haven 6, Hartford
so ; grand iouli 45. Mr. Lucius G. Peck
of New Haven was the controlling spirit
in this great body ; and he and the Hart-
ford Press seem to be the only disturbing
elements among the opposition in Con-
necticut now, Mr. Peck would die of
ennui if he was not in a bit of a row
of some kind, though a very harmles
and good-natured gentlemen as we hap-
pen to know ; and the Press is unfortu-
nate in having a sort of know-nothing pho-
bia, which seems now to be of no earthly use
except to set off against Mr. Peck’s super-
fluous afi'ection for the grave clothes of
his deceased friend, “ Sam.” We advise
the Press to give in ; Peck issure to have
the last word, and with that he will die
easy. '

ment, (the adoption of the third and
fourth Resolves,) which was participated
in by Messrs. Catlin, Hoyt of Stamford,
and N. L. White in favor, and W. K.
Peck and Dr. Hill against it, the amend-
meat and resolutions were adopted.

Rnsoumoxs.

Whereas, The chief question dividing
the political parties of this State and na-'
tion is now whether the area of Slavery
shall be extended or limited ; and

IVherea:, The ‘present exigencies of
our national affairs demand unity of or-
ganization and action from all who would
confine the Slave institution to its present
limits ; thefore

Resolved, That we, the Delegates of
the 4th, Congressional District, in Con-
vention assembled, do fully indorse and
approve of the Platform of principles
adopted by the State Convention at New
Haven, on the 8th of January, and»the
political union and consolidation there
effected ; and further," . '

Resolved, That this Convention do
fully and heartily endorse the State Tick-
et then and there put in nomination, com-
mending it to the con once and support
of the voters of this istrict. -

Resolved, That we hereby respectively
renounce all obligation or allegiance to
any previous political organization, and
that we cordially unite together to ’ pro-
mote and perpetuate the great issues that
so signally triumphed in this State, at
the late Presidential election. 3

Resolved, That. the President of this
Convention be requested to communicato
to the Hon. Cams S. Fsnnv, the resolves
of this Convention, with a request that a
written response may be given for the
purpose of publication in the opposition
papers of this State.

Resolved, That we repose entire confi-
dence in the ability and integrity of On-
nis S. Fsunv, the nominee of this Con-
vention, and most cheerfully and cordial-
ly commend him to the support of the
Freemen of this District.

The Burdell Murder.
On Monday morning, last Coroner
Connery visited the pfisoners in the Tombs
oflicially, to ask their age; &c., and wheth-
or guilty or not guilty. They all an-
swered in writing, not guilty. Snodgrass
wrote, “I know nothing whatever of the
facts relative to the murder of Dr. Bur-
dell ; if any one knows _ anything about
the murder in the. family, I think it is
Miss Augusta Cunningham with the
mother. Qndcrstand me—that is, if the
murder was perpetuated by any of the
inmates of the house.” A very strange
remark !

We understood it is the intention of
the authorities. to place them in the Con-
vent of the Sistcrsvof Mercy, in. Houston
street, untilltlieircase is disposed of. ‘

These young ladies conduct themselves
in a jocund manner. . Their deportment
on Friday? and Saturday, when they visit-
ed theirmother in the Tombs, was such
as to astonish the warden, doctors and
ofiiccrs of that prison. They were dress-
ed in rich silks, with very valuable fur
capes, heavy gold bracelets, and other ex-
pensive jewelry. " Waile waiting for ad-
mission in the outer corridor, they care-
fully arranged their apparel, and alto-
gethcr behaved very little like persons
about to enter the cell where their moth-
er was confined on a charge_of murder.

THE LITTLE BOYS .

The condition of the poor boys—one
ten and the other nine years old——is most
pitiable. They do not appear to have
the slightest perception of their position,
or their mother's peril. The oldest was
in the room where the inquest was held,
on Saturday night, for some hours, while
the Jury were deliberating upstairs, and
on the rendition of the verdict he looked
on quite unconcernedly.

' The N. Y. Times of Thursday morn-
ing says :
“ The Grand Jury are sworn to secre-
sy. “ Mysteries of Udolpho” delighted
Grand Jury perplex our manhood. Even
the hidden things of Elcusis did not sur-
pass them. All that is known of their
prceedings yesterday is that they met at
.10 o’clock A. M., and adjourned before
7 P. M. ; that the aspect of the Burdell
case is ‘not changed, and their labors may
perhaps terminate to-day. Now more
witnesses have. been discharged. All
parties remain as they existed yesterday.
The Misses Cunninham and their broth-
ers are still in Bond-street. Some curious
rumors are afloat.”

The N. Y. Herald says :

“The Grand Jury are busily engaged
in invastigating the Bond street tradgedy,
and the examination of witnesses con-
tinues to occupy their whole attention .—
Ten witnesses were examined on Tuesday.
Among the number was Farrell, and
John J. Burchell, the Doctor's boy.

Yesterday some twelve witnesses were
examined.» The Rev. Mr. Marvine, Rev.
Dr. Cox, Capt. Dilks of 15th ward police,
B. C. Thayer, John H. Thompson, Pro-
fessor Doremus, Dr. Wilson, Alvah Blais-
dell and others, were among those who
were examined under oath by the Grand
Inquest yesterday.

Snodgrass has not been examined, as
was incorrectly asserted by one of the
morning papers, nor is it at all probable
that he will be.

A young lady was brought before the
Grand Jury who say that Mrs. Cunning-
ham asked her to be a witness to a mar-
riage between her and Eckel.‘ She does
not remember the exact date of the oc-
curance, butvshc says it was_ somewhere
about the time the reputed marriage be-
tween Dr. Burdell and Mrs. Cunningham
took place.

It will take two more days to dispose
of the case. The Grand Jury will prob-
ably be able to report on Friday after-
noon or Saturday morning.” '

Snodgrass states that he and the girls,
several nights in succession had placed
cotton loosely under the door leading from
Eckel’s to Mrs. Cunningham's room. In
morning they’ always found this cotton
displaced. This satisfied them, he says,
that the door—-contrary to Miss Augus-
ta’s testimony—was opened during the
night.

The employer of Snodgrass, David
McMurry Jr., 252 Pearl street, declares
that Snodgrass was at the store at the
time when he was sworn to have purchas-
ed a dirk. -

Dr. E. J . Spicer, the former business
partner of Dr. Burdell, made an affidavit,
in which among other things bearing fa-
vorably towards Mrs. Cunningham, he
‘swares that Dr. Burdell acknowledged
toihim in a letter that hewas married to
Mrs. Cunningham. Dr. Spicer was in
attendeuce on the Jury of Inquest, but
the Coroner refused to examine him.

The proceedings before the Grand Jury
in the Burdell case, have, it is said, dc-

- vcloped an entirely new and startling

theory of the murder. Dr.‘ John W.
Francis was exanined on Wedncsdy.-—
His testimony went to show that the
first stabs given Dr. Burdell, must have
been dealt bya person thoroughly con-
versant with the anatomy of the human
frame, and the Doctor's opinion is that
the murder was the work of a man edu-
cated as a physician; The police- are on
the tract of another party who is suspec-
ted of being the murder.

part of every member, we believe, to see

Atrain was in waiting at the close_ of
the Convention to take passengers for the
South and the Naugatuck Road to
Bridgeport. Some 50 went down, arri-
ving at Bridgeport at 2 o’clock at night.
The delegates proceeded In a body to the
Sterling House, where Mr. Ferry-—bei_ng
in attendance on the Court now in session
——was stopping, called him up, informed
him of his nomination, and presented the
congratulations of the Convention, and
were replied to in a short and expressive
.speech. ‘

We regret that Mr. Wclch was not re-
nominated, but the Convention- acted free-
ly, and we know we speak and act the
feelings of the friends of every candidate
when we express our cheerful acquies-
cence in the final result, and pledge our
heartiest support to the nominee.

The New Haven Jtmrnal Fund Courier
thus alludes to the nominee: _

The Union Convention-of the 4th Con-
gressional District, held at New Milford
on the 18th inst., nominated Hon. Onms
S. Fnanv, of Norwalk, for Congress.-—
Mr. Ferry served two years in the State
Senate, and is a man of great talents. He
will be a most valuable representative of
Connecticut in Congress, and we expect‘
Litchfield and Fairfield Counties to give
him a great majority. His competitors
in the Convention would any of them have
been worthy representatives, but as the
choice has fallen upon Mr. Ferry, they
will cheerfully acquiesce in the choice i of
the Convention.

-The Hartford Press comes up nobly to
the support of the Union Ticket, and thus
alludes to our Congressional nominee :

Onms S. Fi:nav’s nomination in the
fourth Congressional district will be, we
are confident, hailed with great satisfac-
tion all over the State. Mr. Fsnnx’s
course in the New Haven State Conven-
tion was clear, manly and unflinching.-
He is evidently not a man of temporary
expedients, but understanding the inevi-
table drift of the free sentiment of the
country he is ready to meet the emergen-
cy. He is thoroughly in favor of aban-
doning all former organizations and con-
solidating all onr forces into one genuine
democratic party that shall‘ place Connec-
ticnt by the side of ‘Vermont and Massa-
chusetts, and keep her there. It would
give us great pleasure to vote for him.

Great Riot.’

There was a. terrible riot among the
Irish laborers on the Erie Railroad Tun-
nel “ works,” at Hudson City, about two
miles from Hoboken, New Jersey,,on
Saturday afternon and evening, which
lasted until late Sunday morning,-—in
which one child perished, two men at
least were so seriously injured that it is
thought their wounds must soon prove
fatal ; a great many heads were broken,
and several shanties burned. The militia
were called out, and between forty and
fifty of the rioters were captured and
marched oil‘ to the County jail._ The
miltia were called out anew on Sunday
afternoon, as the riot threatened to re-
open. The origin of the trouble was
whiskey——it being pay-day—which stim-
ulated a Corkonian -to boast himself a
better man than a Far-Downer. The
challenge was accepted-—the village of
shanties was aroused, and from afriendly
fight it became a free and ferocious one.
The reports from the scene are to one
o’clock this morning. The light of the
burning shanties was seen from New York
City Hall.—N'. Y. Paper, Z|Io'nday 16th.

est remedy known for Dyspepsia, J anndice

Dr. Sanford has been for a long time
one of the eminent physicians of New

werevtreated with the Invigorator with
such invariable success that he has been
induced to offer it as a family medicine,
and let the world have the benefit of his

with debility, headache, lauguor, or slow

they might save physicians’ bills, an ‘J 3,’
