THE Armor Mimosa.-—A man named
Coi-lies was called out of the most public
Part Of Broadway, New York, early of an
““"‘-“1i“i-‘;.._S0me years ago, and shot‘ dead ;
but every‘ investigation at the time could
tlirow no light upon the murderer. The
Eveiiing Post recalls the case to compare
its mysteries with that of the Burdell ta-
king of, and to present the following new
 authentic information in regard to it :
:l’"‘' The ‘murdered man, as we have been
given to understand, formed an attach-
ment for the beautiful wife of a wealthy

citizen _of New York—a man whose
-generosity of nature and strong personal

' qualities had drawn around him a devoted

set of friends—most of them, like himself,
somewhatoin the sportingline. The lady,
false as fair, returned the guilty love guil-
tily, and was locked up by the husband,
whose devotion to her was such that he
‘could not give her up, even after what had
passed. e made overtures to the'deter-
=mmed Lothario—first by threats, which
were nnheeded ; then by bribes, which
,were partially successful, so that, on re-
‘eeiving a sum of money, the seducer.
promised toleave the city for the term of
:the lady's natural life. A few months

: saw the money spent and the man return- ‘

ed, and pacing up and down the pavement

opposite the lady’s place of detention, (as
-she only went out well attended,) making
‘ignals, &_c., to her, and she, consistent in
'her infidelity, replying to them with de-
-termined purpose to effect her escape in
someway. The husband, still unwilling

to abandon her to herself, renewed his
-overtures to the intrusive gentleman, and
.made_ an agreement to pay down another
zcertain sum to secure his prepetual ab-
-sence- T e latter agreed a second time
fto come to an arrangement, but before the
money had been paid, backed out of the
agreement, and utterly refused to make"
‘any promises in the matter. He continu-
ed his demonstrations toward the lady,
and the consequence was that he was cal-
‘led out from the bar-room ofthe Carlton

' -House on the fatal afternoon'—it was, we

believe, about dnsk—and found some half
dozen men on the pavement at the corner.
-Whicli of these six it was that did the
deed, they know, but Corlies was shot as
he stood among them; the six men get
into six cabs which were in waiting, back
up to the curb, and were dirven in six
,different ways, each driver being an ac-
cgipplice ; and so the guilty flirtation end-
e .

« C?‘ The Springfield Republican tells

. a pretty good story in reference to the

buying of stamps. At Lowell, a gentle-
man from one of the rural districts want-
ed a dollar's worth of stamps, and ten-
dered a bill in payment. This was re-
fused and specie was demanded. He then
ofi'ered four Spanish quarters. These
would not go except at a disgusting rate
of discount ; where upon the seeker for
postage stamps procured a hundred cents
in copper. He was told that these were
not a legal tender, but three were some-
times taken for a stamp, by way of ac-
commodation. This was satisfactory,
and the gentleman began to call and pay
for single stamps, ‘handing over three
cents at atime. The P. O. Clerks thought

it best. to surrender at discretion.

 Death of Dr. Kane.

The steamer Cahawba, which left Ha-
vana on the 16th inst., brings the sad
news of the death of Dr. Kane, the great
-traveler, and the good and noble hearted
man. No one can read his modest ac-
counts of his Arctic Voyages without
feeling that, in every manly virtue, he
was one of the noblest specimens of the
human race. Such generosity——-such wil-
ling martyrdom——such affectionate regard
for even the hnmblest man of his crew——
such sagacity-such power of endurance,
and such voluntary exposure at all time
when duty called—is very rare among
men. ' .
A special despatch to the New York
Tribune by way of New Orleans, says :

“_ The greatest sympathy was shown by
the authorities of the Island, who attend-
ed his fuueraliu a body.”

 It is highly probably that the speedy
termination of his valuable life is owing to
his" terrible exposures in the Arctic -Seas.
On his second voyage out, he was severely
afflicted with rheumatism, which is s_aid
to. have. been one of the disorders that
followed hiinto the close of his life.

 

' Hr. 8tark’s Poem. .

We find the following allusion to the Poem
to be delivered by Mr. Sun: this Friday
Evening, at Phoenix Hall, in a late number of
the New Haven Journal. There is arich treat
in store for our citizens,wliich will abundant-
ly satisfy them that“llolly Stark was not left
a widow,” nor without issue to honor and per-
petuate her heroic memory :-

‘ “Notwithstanding the storm of last
evening, some three or four hundred per-
sons gathered at Brewster’s Hall, to hear
Mr. Stark before the Institute. Those‘
who did so, of whom perhaps a fourth
were ladies, were repaid for their exertion,
by one of the most popularly telling pro-
ductious in verse that they ever listened
to. The thrusts at private and public
follies, which formed a large portion of
the poem, were received with keen relish,
and brought out round after round of ap-
plause. . Indeed we do not recollect a
lecturer who has elicited from our people
so many and so hearty bursts of approval
and enjoyment. Whatever else may be
said of the poem, it cannot be accused of
lacking. power to interest. ' The whole
was set off by an elocution, quite full of
correct expression.

We understand that Mr. S. has been
invited .to repeat his performance, and
that he will probably give it again next
week, before the Institute. VVe look for
a crowded house, if the weather will in
anywise permit.” '

' This distinguished Poet, Wit and Scholar
rehearsed his Poem in several of the principal
towns of Connecticut, and in all of which an
earnest appeal has been made to him to repeat
it. Before the New Haven Institute, such was
the delight with which it_ was received, and so
earnest the importunities of the people to have
it repeated that the Committee had Mr. Stark
give it a second time the following week,
when the largest Hall in New Haven was ill-
led to its utmost capacity. It is notsaying
too much to assert that this will be by far the
best entertainment ever enjoyed in this place,
and will fully satisfy those who attend that the
Committee made no idle promise when they
pledged "men of the highest qualities of talent
and genuis for the “ People’s Course of Lee-
tures.” - .We trust no citizen who can appre-
ciate the highest order of genlug will deprive
himself or any member of his family of this
unusual treat.

Hr. Perry's Prospects.

A letter from Litchfield County assures us
of the unwanted enthusiasm with which Mr,
Fcrry’s nomination is greeted by the honest
eons of toil up in the northern sliier. They
throw down the gauntlet to any County in
the State to equal their vote on Congressman.
It is undoubtedly the strongest nomination

that sould have been made.

 

W1?
Dr. Welch's Case.

The triuinpliant acquittal of Dr. Welch of
the charges of corruption. by the House of
Representatives on Friday last, renders un-
necessary the publication of the lengthy
and unsatisfactory dialogue between the
Committee and the creature Sweeny, which
we had contemplated. There seems to be a
very peculiar state of affairs developed, how-
ever, by this acquittal. It seems that a por-
tion of‘ the evidence of said Sweeny was sup-
puma by a majority of the Committee,
which upon investigation was found _to be a
confession on the part of Sweeny, that “ he
desired not to testify further for fear of fal-
sifying what he had testified to previously.”
A Washington correspondent of the Bridge-
port Standard thus alludes to it : .

“The Report of the‘Select C_ommittee
of Invetigation, touching the “ corup-
tion” of the House of Representatives, is
well calculated to create surprise and iii-
dignation on the part of the friends of
those whom it purports to impllcate.—
The whole preceediiig seems to be liable

secret, in respect of the evidence which
goes to inculpate particular members.-—

. his testimony was delivered by the wit-

nesses out of the presence and hearing of
the persons charged, who in no reason-
able sense can be said to have been con-
fronted with the witnesses, or to have had
the opportunity to be present when they
were examined. It could never have
been supposed by the parties that the
Committee could regard themselves as
armed with jurisdiction to try particular
members for high ofiiences ; and still less
that on such a trial the evidence taken
in secret and without notice could be- the
ground of any other action than such as
founded upon the proceedings of a grand
jury ; viz: to ascertain whether there-was
ground to put any person on his trial.
The case of Mr. Gilbert and Dr. Welch,"
seem to present scarcely a ground, for
further investigation. They are charged
with having been concerned in some ar-
rangement for getting a certain book
purchased by the House, which never was
purchased or proposed. There are two
witnesses only, touching that matter, and
each of them denies that he made any such.
arrangement with these gentlemen ,- while
each of them supposes it eras made by the other.
This testimony seems to be full of incon-
sistences and contradictions, while the ev-
idence of Messrs. Gilbert and Welch,
taken before the Committee on oath, ex-
plicitly denies the whole charge. Re-
spectable witnesses have impeached the
testimony of the person upon whose
credibility this whole matter depends .-
So that there is the evidence of two wit-
nesses, suspicious on its face, and impeach-
ed by disiuterested persons, on the one
hand, clear and positive evidence of two
witnesses on the other hand. Under
these circumstances, an impartial public
can scarcely attach any importance to the
charge.”

It should also be remembered that only 42
votes were recorded against Iir. Welch, ' and
these by his hottest politic al opponents, while
the only Republican member of the Commit-
tee, the Chairman, refused to join in the re-
port, and that it was shown in evidence that
Sweeny had sworn that he would be revenged
upon Dr. Welch for his supposed neglect in
the use of his influence to retain him in office,
and that on Sweeny’s first evidence when sum-
moned before the Committee, he swore posi-
tively to no knowledge of corruption which
would convict any member, and that at last
he came unsolicited before them and volun-
teered, this evidence. So palpable is it a case
of perjury and revenge against Dr. Welch, that
even the Bridgeport Farmer is compelled to
come forward and express its utter condemna-
tion of the proceedings, and asserts its honest
convictions of a political opponent’sintegrity'
In the. case of Mr. Gilbert, when it was
called up, he attempted to obtain a trial, but
the ‘House refused and insisted upon accep-
ting the evidence before the Committee as
decisive, whereupon Hr. Gilbert, after a.
speech protesting his innocence, resig ned his
seat, on the ground that he could not have a
fair trial. The House was taken by surprise,
and tabled the resolution against him by a
vote of 135 to 58—a vote which indicated that
he would have been acquitted had he not re-
signed.

, The case of Matteson of New York came
next, and he also sent in his resignation on
the ground that he could not have a fair tri-
al, but notwithstanding this, a resolution was
‘passed, declaring that A“ Mr. Matteson had
proved himself unworthy to be a member of
the House,” etc.

Then followed Dr. Welch’s case, of the pro-
ceedings in which the following is the report :

Mr. Davis (Md.) called up Mr. Welch’s
case.

The resolutions against Mr. Welch were
read :

Resolred, That Wm. W. Welcll did
corruptly combine with Win. A. Gilbert,
a member of this House from New York,
to procure the passage of a resolution or
bill through the House, for the purchase
of certain copies of “Triplett on Pension
and Bounty Land Laws” for money, to
be paid to the said Gilbert on its passage. ;
that Wm. W \Velch did attempt to pro-
cure money from James R. Sweeney for
reporting favorably on the claim of Rox-
ana Kimball from the Committee on In-
valid Pensions at this Congress; that
Wm. W. Welch, a member of this House
from Connecticut, be forthwith expelled
from this House.

Mr. Stanton ‘said that the House was
here engaged in a serious business, not af-
fecting alone the rights of_ the Member
from Connecticut, but of every Member
on the floor, now and in the future. They
propose to expel a Member on confessed
questious'of fact. There was an obliga-
tion on all to see that they do not exer-
cise transcendant power capricioiisly and
without due regard to the just and Con-
stitutional rights of the accused. Mr.
Stanton caused to be read a portion of
the suppressed testimony of Mr. Simon-
ton, showing that he had named Sweeney

should fail to establish specific facts, he
(Simonton) held himself responsible to
give reasons" for supposing that Sweeny
could give the testimony. In reviewing
the testimony, Mr. Stanton said it was
unqnalifiedly false on its face. During. the
examination Sweeney had manifested a
deeply settled purpose to iiijnrc Mr.
Welch, and was steeped in perjury to the
very lips. The testimnny of Triplett
showed that he had nothing but vague,
loose indefinite suspicions.

Mr. Seward (Ga.) had examined the
testimony of Mr. Triplett a.nd Mr. Swee-
ny, and stated that when they were asked
by the Committee whether they l/i-new of (my
member who had expressed atpectation to re-
ceive. any compensation, they unqaalz:/ievlly
answered No. Ou,the first day of their
examination they implicated no member,
and the record shows that they afterward
voluntarily came before t Committee.
He would scorn to convi any one on
such testimony. Let Mr. Welch go with
his fair fame and gharacter, for there was
nothing against him.

Mr. Smith (Va.) had come to the con-
clusion that the report of the Committee
in this case ought not to be adopted.-—
The condnct of r. Welch had been
manly. He had not attempted to escape

to the objection that it is as parts and.

as awitncss, and‘ said that if Sweeney.

‘ 

inony of the witnesses against him was
altgctlier insufficient.

Mr. Dean merely borcjtestimony to the
irreproacliablc character of Mr. Welch,
his colleague. ,

Mr. Walker of Ala. seemed to throw
the testimony of Sweeney aside and to
rely on that of Mr. Triplett. Mr. Smith
of the same State, wished to know if Dr.
‘V. was to be crushed on the vague testi-
inony of Mr. Triplett-—nmoiinting to noth-
ing more than a bare suspicion.

Mr. "Smith of Va. offered a substitute
for the Committce’s Resolution, declaring
that no sfiicient evidence had been pro-
duced to convict Dr. VV., and that no fur-
tlicr proceeding should be bad. This was
passed : ayes I19, noes 42.

Thus the House gave its testimony in favor
of Dr. Welch. It will be observed that his
political enemies were the most prominent in
his defence, thus making his justification the
more gratiifying and complete, to which the
Bridgeport Standard truly adds :

So our member is acquitted, by a very
large majority. If the result had been
difi'erent—if Dr. W.'had been expelled on
the evidence presented—he would have
been re-elected from .this District by a ma-
jority not to be stated in four fig-um.——
Such would have been the effect—all the
Conventinos that could have been called
at New Milford or elsewhere-—to the con-
trary notwithstanding.

Death of James B. St. John.

The sad intelligence of the sudden demise
of this justly esteemed young man at St. Lou-
is, reached his relatives on Saturday last, and
his body was yesterday borne to its‘ home in
New Canaan for funeral rites and burial. Hr.
St. John was a son of Darius St. John, a young
man of rare qualities of personal excellence,
and although quiet and unassuming in his in-
tercourse and demeanor. won the affectionate
regard of all who knew him. He was by
choice and natural taste a practical farmer.-—
One who could discern something more than
pounds, shillings and pence in the growth of
each spear of grass, of shrub, and tree. By a.
peculiarly susceptible mind, and careful men-
tal cultiire he could “read sermons in stones,
and good in everything.” All the poetry of
rural life was his, and the votnries of scien-
tific agriculture have lost a valuable member
in him. He was elected Assistant Secretary
of the Fairfield County Agricultural Society
at its last annual meeting. and all who have
attended our Public Exhibitions for the past
few years, will recognize howjustly deserving
he was of the compliment implied in his ap-
pointment. He left the “old homestead” last
fall, for a general winter tour of observation
through the South. He had traveled some-
what extensively throngh Alabama and Mis-
souri, and arrived at St. Louis on his way
home, when his progress was arrested by fe-
ver. The last letter received by his parents,
was to the effect that he had so nearly recov-
ered thut he intended starting again for home
the latter part of last week, but alas for the
uncertainty of human existence, the Tele-
graph brings news that he is dead. - Peace to

his ashes.

The fact of three or four losses of Pocket
Books, within a fortnight past in our streets
in open day light, which it has been impossi-
ble to find, or learn anything from. reveals a
state of morals on the part ofindividual mem-
bers of our community not altogether such as
could be desired. But the open robbery of five
dollars from the money draw of our telegraph-
ic operator while he was lying in the uncon-
cions agonies of a fit, is one of the latest. as
it is one of the most shocking, and revolting
acts of petty crime we ever heard of. A crea-
ture who could perpetrate such an act at such
a moment, would steal his dead mothers shroud
and sell it for paper rags without a scruple.

“iaaac toucoy'I" last humiliation.

There is a low, flash weekly paper publish-
ed in New York on Sunday, and called the
Sunday Mercury, which has been beslaver-
ing ISAAC Toucrzx with fulsome fiatteries for
some time past, and from which the Hartford
Times and New Haven Register have been
liberally copying, to show the appreciation in
which Mr. Toucey is held in other States. Up-
on this we make no particular comment; but
it seems the Mercury has forwarded its pane-
gyrics to Mr. Toucey himself, and he has re-
turned the following acknowledgments there-
to. We quote it with the remarks of the Tri-
bune thereon :—-

That supplest of the whole race of toad-
eaters, Isaac §>ucey—who, being verry
narrow-minde in general and very igno-
rant in general, has been selected by Mr.
Buchanan for’ Attorney-General-—-has
written a letter about matters and things
in general to a Sunday newspaper in this
city We present this delicate morsel of
stupidity to our readers, not because it is
of the least intrinsic importance what
Toucey thinks, or writes, or says, but be-
cause he is an instrument, and it is barely
possibe that other and more important
people may be blowing through him :—
“ WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, I857.

“ Mr Dam Sm :—I received your
obliging letter, and observed your articles
in The Jllercury. I need not say how
much I have been gratified by the those
proofs of very partial friendship, although
I may have but poorly deserved what
you have said to me. I am it is true,
one of those who undertook to initiate a
settlement of the only difficulty likely to
threaten the permanency of the Govern-
meut. We agrecdlto take the Slavery
question out of Congress. except in those
cases where Congress, is expressly author-
ized to interfere, and to leave the subject
to the people of every self governing com-
munity ; and, as there was some difference
of opinion as to the power of the people
before organized as a State, we agreed to

in a summary way, as in the Kansas act,
and to abide by its decision. '

“ This was agreed to by gentlemen
North, South, East and West. We adop-
ted the measure in season to go to the
people of the country with it before the
Presidential election. The ruling party
of the country has adopted the arrange-
ment, and we have elected a President
upon it.

“ We intend to carry out the measure
to its complete fulfillment, and thereby
remove the only danger to the Federal.
Government which-we have any reason
to apprehend.

“ I know not that you concur with me
but this has been my course. ' '

“ With the warmest thanks for so many
proffers of your kindness and courtesy, I

m, ver trul yours. — .
a y y - I." TOUCEY.”

“ We,” it seems, did great -things.--
“ We” agreed to take the Slavery ques-
tion out of Congress. “ We,” it must he
confessed, have not been very fortunate
in acomplishing what “ we” undertook.-
The more Toucey & Co. “ take out” the
obnoxious qefiion, the more it seems res-
olutely bent upon coming back again.—
The people of Connecticut have been
more successful in their attempts, for they
have taken Mr. Toucey out of Congress,
and our present impression is that he will
stay out for the rest of his life.

But, Mr. Toucey says: “ We intend
to carry out “ the measures [the Kansas
bill to its complete fulfillment ;” that is,
“ VV]’e are determined to continue with

'Noi<w.u.x',-Feb. 24th, 1857.
Ni-msox L‘. Winrs, E‘sci.,'

' ' l ‘ "‘Jl'Iy Dear Sir—I have
received. your "favor of the 20th inst., in-
forming me ‘of my nomination, by the
Convention" holden ‘at New Milford on
the 18th iiist.;'as,,‘-thc:' candidate of the
Electors of the [Fourth Congressional
District, who’are opposed to the princi-
ples of the present‘: Federal Administra-
tion, for the"loiiicc“’ of Representative in
the next Congress,-and asking my accep-
tanee of such nomination. Your letter
also incloses the following Resolution, to
the request contained-in which, you wish
me to respond: , I _'

~1amz.-.d,- That *tiie_.,. President of this
Convention be requested to communicate
to the Hon. Onms.S'.~F~'nnav, 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'.’~’ '-

The Resolves of? thc._ Convention, allu-
ded to in the foregoing Resolution, are as
follows: , ~ ‘--

“ Wfhereas, 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

Whereas, The ‘present exigencies of
our nationalpaffairs ' demand unity of or-
ganization a.nd action from all who would
confine the Slave ‘institution to its present
limits ; therefore _, , -

Re$0l1‘€d, That we, the Delegates of
the 4th Coiigressional District, in Con-
vention assembled, do "fully indorsc 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,

Racolred, That this Convention do
fully and heartily endorse the State Tick-
et -then" and there put in nomination, com-
mending it to the confidence and support
of the voters of this District.

Rcsolvcd,- 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 principles
that so signally ‘triumphed in this State,
at the late Presidential election.”

I approve these _Resolutions. The pas-
sage of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, and
the subsequent developments of the
true political character of the insti-
tution of Slavery, seem to me to have
left but one course of action for those
who love the Union, who cherish the
Constitution, or who are, in any wise,
imbued with the spirit of the men who
framed the one, and established the other;
and that is, to oppose an inflexible resis-
tancc to the further extension of human
bondage. For, the real question is,
whether the government of this country,
shall remain a representative Democracy,
or be practically changed to a slave-hold-
ing Aristocracy. The elevation of the
many, of that great mass, in every human
society, which is composed of the - men
who labor with their hands, to a position
of civil and political eqnality,- with the
other classes of the community, and as
a necessary consequence therefrom, the
reposing of the ultimate sovereignty of
the nation in the aggregate whole, cons-
titutes the true Democracy, which was
iiiteiidcd to be perpetuated in_the Repub-
lie by the framers of the Constitutioii.—
Slavery, both in theory and fact, is op-
posed to all this ; it is the denial not
merely of equality, but of every civil
right to the laboring class ; it is the gov-
ernment of the few, and the subjection of
the many ; it is Aristocracy, in its most
odious form.

Henceforth the true dividing line be-
tween political’ parties in this country,"
must be between those who choose to
permit, and those who determine to.re-
shit the expansion of such a system as I
have just described. There is no ‘longer
left any middle ground. The Convention.
.which nominated Mr. Buclianau for the
Presidency, in putting forth the system
of political doctrine by which his Admin-
istration is to be guided, has left open all
the vast Territories of the Republic to

clared its utter indifference whether free-
dom or bondage shall be the condition of
the laboring classes in the future States
of the Republic. It has renounced the
doctrine of -equal rights, upon which this
government is based. By the adoption
of such" principles, the present and in-
coming Administrations have not merely
stricken at the slave ; they have declared
war upon’ the entire _free labor of the Re-
public. The inevitable concomitant of
Slavery—-suppression of freedom of
speech and of; libertyof the press-—thcy
have treated asfiafthing too trifling to be
worthy of serious‘ regaril. Unrestricted
permission "tojthe expansion _of Slavery
is the.-very xfouiidation principle upon
which the new Administration is to rest.
Inflexible hostility to that expansion is
the fundamental idea of the Resolutions
‘of ' the Convention, and therein I do hear-
tily concur. _ . .

But, while I do so,'~ I would, at
the ‘same 'tiiii;c,»~.~...expressly repudiate
any inteiitioniof ‘interfering with the con-
stitutional rightsof the States wherein
Slavery is already established. Their
unhappy condition, burdened as they are,
with this ~-te'rrible- evil,‘ awakens, indeed,

‘—__§

the extension of Slavery. It has de- ‘

all my syiiipatliics, but the l’ "mic law
of the Republic has lcftlhc .‘L‘lll0(iy in
their own hands exclusively. Political
duty and political responsibility are cor-
relative tcrms ; for the institution of bou-
dage in Georgia or in Mississippi, I am
no more civilly responsible, than I am for
despotism in Russia, or oppression in Na.-
pies ; and being thus without respoiisibil-
ty, I have no civil duty to perform in the
one case, or in the other. But for the
establishment of a system of aristoci'atic
oppression over the unorganized, and com-
mon domain of the Republic, I, with all
the people of the land, am responsible,
and therefore at all times, in all places,
and under all circiinistauccs, I will resist
it.

Entertaining these views, and believing
them to be cherished by the great ma-
jority of the people of Connecticut, from
having seen them so recently vindicated
in our Commonwealth, when fairly pre.
sented to the citizens thereof, in the late
Presidential election, I have earnestly
desired to see them embodied as the prin-
ciples of one compact, and powerful po-
litical organization in this State. I have
regarded the Convention of the 8th of
January as having accomplished that re-
sult. Uniting us in the bond of union,
by whose strength we struggled and con-
quered in the Presidential contest, it
leaves us to the unrestricted exercise of
our individual judgment, in other matters
of political opinion, and gives us the vig-
or, without making us the slaves of par.
ty. The course thus adopted, has seemed
to me an eminently wise one, and I have
cheerfully given it my iiureserved sup-

rt. '

With this response to the Resolutions
referred to, I gratefully accept the nomi-
nation which, in the name of the Con-
vention, you have tendered to me: Wheth-
er I shnll'be elected or not, is a matter of
little consequence_in comparison with the
success or overthrow of principles dear to
all of us. In the canvass now begun,
we are not striving about men, or conten’
ding about trifles. We stand by the
Union,—-it is the depository of all our
hopes; we stand by the Constitution,——it
is the great conservator of our rights;
we stand for Liberty,—it is the precious
gem, of which the Union and the Consti-
tution are the casket and.the setting ;
may we‘ be enabled to preserve all
three in nndiminished strength and lustre.

Very truly and respectfully yours,

ORRIS S. Fnaav.

been an inattentive observer of the gen-

and all that we have seen and lieard of
him has ‘served to inspire confidence and
respect in and for him, as a man of su-
perior abilities and liigli-toned principles
of political action and lionor. _Dcspising
the suiall trickery and dishonest arts of
trading politicians—-acting upon the
homely motto that honesty is the best
policy—he has been found exerting all

advancement of t-.12 best interest of Free- -

doin by promoting the hearty union and

energetic corporation in Coiinecticiit,"‘of-
all the elements of opposition to the Slave-

ry extension policy of the National Ad-

ministration. ‘

It is in view of facts like th-._ se ‘that we
rejoice in the nomination of Mr. Ferry as
a worthy Representative of Connecticut
at‘ Washington. T'l'c presume there is
little room f'or doubt of his triumphant
election. And if elected, we predict for
him a public career honorable to himself,
beneficial, to his constituents, and credita-
ble to the State. A clear headed, logi-
cal reasoner, strong and fearless in de-
bate, and witlial a courteous gentleman,
he will make his mark in the House of
Representatives, and vindicate the sagac-
ity of those who have brought him for-
ward as a candidate. ‘ -

The New Haven1’aIladiu.m says :

The nomination of the Hon. 0. S. Ferry
of Norwalk, as a candidate for Congress
from the 5th District, embracing Fair-
field and Litchfield counties, is on the
whole very fortunate. He is a gentle-
man of great intelectual power, and we
think will do honor to the District.

The following is from the Spriiiglield
(.-Mass.) Republican:

The republicans of Connecticut have
completed their congressional nominations
by selecting John VVoodrufi' 2d for a re-
election in the New Haven district, and
Orris S. Ferry of Norwalk to succed Dr.
Welch, in the Fairfield district. Mr.
Ferry, is a young man and of sound prin-
ciciple and commanding talents, and has
held a high position in the anti-admiuis-
tration politics of the state during the last
few years ; he has served honorably and
acceptably in the last two state senates,
and the 4th district could not have been
more fortunate in its selection.

best cultivated Farm, consisting of 230 acres ;
the first premium, $3. for the best apple orch-
an! over six years old, to Benjamin Hoyt, of

best apple orchard under six years. to Ihe
same. The committee remarked that Mr. Ben-
jamin Hoyt’s Orchard.<,coiisisting of 150 trees,
have had four years growth since transplant-
ing, and weie equal in size to trees of ten or
twelve years ordinary growth. To Hugh Pat-
tison, ofD-.i_ricn, the first premium, $3, for the
best Peach Orchard. The committee also lin-
tcd that they visited a remarkably promising
Apple Orchard, belonging to John W. Water.
