The Election
We observe that our newspaper cotempora-.
rice in the Fourth District are philosophising
over the loss of our Congressman. No two of
them agree as to the causes of the unfortunate
result, and it seems to us that the wisest
course is to stop inquiring forreasous, though
they may be “ plenty as blackberries,” and
look forward to a course of action in the fu-
ture which shall prevent another such con-
summation. There were honest differences
before Election, in the Republican ranks, on
some topics, there are doubtless honest differ-
ences now, as to the conduct of the recent
canvass ; but the thing is over,-—-it can’t be
helped,-let the differences go, and let us
have union upon principle.
There are now but two parties in Connecti-
cut : the Pro-Slavery, Disunionist, Sham De-
mocracy, and the Free, Union, Republican
party. These are, substantially, the only
two parties in the nation. We belong to the
latter, and in sunshine and storm, in victory
and defeat. in joy and in ,sorrow, we expect
to cling to it, till it shall become triumphant
in the land.

The Pro-Slavery Party.
The individuals who composewhat is styled
the “. Democratic” party in the Free States
do not relish the application to themselves of
the term “ Pro-Slavery.” Let us test them,
by their own expositors. There is no abler
newspaper of their political organization than
the Journal of Cemmerce, none more ac-
cepted as sound “ Democratic” authority.
Well ,a portion of the people of Missouri,
tired of the blight which Slavery has
brought upon that noble State, have formed
a “ Gradual Emahcipation” party within its
limits,«and carried the local elections in St.
Louis- They propose, through their -own
State ‘Legislature, to get rid of the burden of
Slavery, just as we have got r_id of it in Con-
necticut. One would think that such a party
at least would command the sympathy of ev-_'
ery citizen of the Free States.
But no; the Journal of Commerce denoun-
ces the whole movement heaps upon the
Emancipationists of Missouri every vituper-
ative epithet which it has been accustomed to
bestowupon the Free State men of Kansas,
and is determined that Slavery shall not be
abolished in Missouri, even by the slow pro-
cess of , gradual Emancipation, and the legiti-
mate action of her own citizens through the
ballot-box l
Will not men who are really Democrats at
last open their eyes to the tendency of these
things ? To all such we recommend as an es-
pecial “ eye opener,” a perusal of the Jour-
rlal of Commerce of April 10th, 1857, on the
subject of the gradual Emancipationists of
Missouri. .

The Speakership.
Among all tne candidates elected to the
House of Representatives, we do not see the
name of any one, which strikes us as being
so eminently qualified for the Speakership, as
J osmr M. Cxursa, Eso., of this town. Quick
and remarkably unhesitating, yet dignified
and commanding. with a perfect familiarity
with the duties which pertain to a presiding
ofilcer, as to parliamentary rules of order, etc.
etc., we think him most admirably adapted
for a most capital speaker, although he is of
that retiring habit of mind, that he will,
doubtless hardly thank us for the suggestion.

A New Bank.
It will be seen by reference to our adverti-
sing columns. that a charter is to be applied
for, for a new Bank to be lccated, as we learn.
at South Norwalk. We think a Bank would
greatly facilitate business there. and that
there is a good opening for one. It will also
introduce the city fashion of “ Kiting,” among
those who can so conveniently keep one mill
grinding for the other.

Seeds.
We have received, for gratuitous distribu-
tion, from the U. S. Patent Office, a quantity
of " Tuscan Straw Hat Wheat.” This is an
Italian variety, to be sown in the Spring, and
as the Straw is the same as that imported by
the Messrs. Beatty, at their Straw Hat Facto-
ry, and at a large cost, we do not see why
here is not a fine field for speculation, for oul'
Fairticld County Farmers.
Our thanks are due to D. A. Bulkeley, Of
the Stone Hill Farm, Williamstown, Mass., for
seeds of a new variety of red Sweet Corn. Mr.
Bulkeley, it will be rcmeuibercd, is the gen-
tleman who originated the seed for those mam-
moth Squashes which took the first premium
. at our Fair two years ago.

Those Pamphlets.
The Farmer denies any knowledge of the
“libellous pamphlets” alluded to by us last
week, as having been issued from their Office.
We are glad to note the unqualified denial of
its paternity.
what we considered good and reliable author‘
ity, although we are aware that we may not
always get the truth of a matter even if it does
come from Bridgeport, alld are not only wil-
ling to take the Farmer at its word, but give
it the full benefit ofits denial.

‘xv.-3, We notice that our brother Clarke of
the Winsted Herald has been elected to a seat
- in the Legislature. Printing must be better
up in Litchfield County than it is here, 0)
else he couldn’t have afforded the luxury!
Perhaps it is two months at iheH<.-use of Rep-
resentatives and ten at the Alms’House, as
our friend Noah W. Hoyt, of New" Canaan,
suggests. But keep up the credit of the craft
neighbor Clarke, and when the board bill
comes round, ifyou can't raise it we’ll con-
tribute our ‘mite to help you out, seeing that
you are now in for it. But dou’t never be

fl‘ A ridiculous story has got into the
papers. that Mr. Ferry intends to contest Mr.
Bishop’: election. We have the best authori-
ty for ipiyin that Mr. Ferry never thought of
such a thing; 'l‘o elect a man to Congress,
and expect him to renounce and give up a
profitable biisiness f'or the pleasure of perhaps
staying two winters. in Washington, is bad
enough ; but to stay at home, not go to the
polls, and not elect a man, and then expect
him to undertake the job of contesting the
right of a Loco Foco to his seat in a Pro--
Slavery Congress, is the height of absurdity.

£3‘ Our East Auenue friend, who like By-

chanan. as he is himself daily bored with a
horde of hungry otiice seekers determined like

classified Van among “ amphibious animals,”
and it is a little singular that he should have
been calried into office upon the flood of one
of the most copious cold wafrr rains of the sea-

democracy, which will not permit the public
interests to suffer in his hands. by any known
dereliction of oflicial duty. We belive also,
that he will select the best men his party af-
fords as Deputies. It is true he may have to
strain the magnifying power of’ his lens to
discover much virtue in his official associates.
yet such as they are, we doubt not he will se-
lect the best of them, and we have no dispo-
sition to prcjudgc his administration unfavor-
ably. He has the opportunity to render it
popular and acceptable to the people, and he
certainly has every incentive to do so. So

Cold weather has been lingering near
us as if‘ unwilling to depart, ever since
tlle commencement of the present. month,
and thereby transforming the beautiful
smiling montll of April to a hlustering
representation of its predecessor March.
Quite all unusual plicnonieuu was ob-
servcd by many of our citizens yesterday,
that of a dozen mcn actively employed
with the pick-axe, spade, and shovel.-
Mauy refused to believe their own senses,
and anxiously rubbed their eyes and
pinched their elbows, to discover if they
had not been dreaming, but on its be-
coming more apparent, rejoiced within
themselves and hastened to spread the
glad tidings. The sound of the shovel

siege of mild and filth, '
" Hath a charming sound
Harmonious to the ears”
Of the greater part of our citizens. In
furtherance of the accomplishment of
this good work, we notice the disappear-
ance of many of the Italian beggars from
our streets. This is right, and if Mayor
Wood will only supply the organ grind-
ers with the necessary utensils and set
them at it, he willbc cleaning the streets

The Old Brick Church is rapidly arri-
ving at that state known as among the

will sigh, as they pass, and drop a tear to
its memory. With all‘ respect to their
feelings, we say, we are unable to divine
the object or necessity of a building stan-
ding iu the path of improvement, simply
because itwas built in the days of the
Revolution, and ‘because our grandfathers
love to gaze upon it, and call it _a land-

It has been a dull week for our Vanity
Fair, and the state of the -market for the
principle articles of traflic may be quoted
as follows :‘ Domestic and political vir-
tues are scarce but not in demand. Ea-
sy consciences go off slowly at low_ prices,
as the stock ofl'ering of this article is un-
usually ‘large, the previousdemand hav-
ing stimulated an enormous importation.
Wealth, honor and luxury are actively
inquired for, but holders are very firm.
aed not anxious to part with their stocks.
Warm weather is in great 'rcquc.st, but
Merriam has been unable to supply the
wants of the market, as the sun cannot
be stimulated into a vigorous shine.-
Rain water is abundant, in fact we are
quite flooded with this staple, which will
not he wanted in large quantities by the
community until about the _ middle. of
July.
To come down to particulars, intelligi-
ble to your non-commercial readers, we
have had very little excitement of any
kind this week. Yesterday your corres-
pondent iounu htmself embedded-in the
largest and densest crowd of the season,
which had ‘gathered about thcicorncrof
Nassau and Fulton-sts., in_the.hope of
patching a glimpse of some of the re-
- urned Nicaraguans, who were reported
to be refreshing themselves in a lager
beer saloon somewhere in that vicinity.
They were well known coadjutors of Gen.
Walker, and had a vast number of
friends about town, who were all anxious
to share a drink with their old familiars.
The patriots looked rather used up, and
did not appear to have brought back a-
stock of any desirable commodity, with
‘the exception of hair, of which they car-
rieda perfect jungle on heads,_'cliins, and
arms. Nicaragua is a better remedy for
the beardless, than any of‘ your “ On-

Business has been very quiet. Teas
continue to bring very high prices, though
raised by speculation to the highest point
they can possibly reach. Of course, en-
deavors will be made to bring prices up
further, but we have reliable information
from the China correspondence of a large
house, which convinces us that the defi-
cien cy- in supply will not be so great as
has been anticipated. Take heart, then,
ye innocent lovers of “ the cup that
cheers, but not inebriates.” A vigorous,
investigation is now going on of a failure
in the dry goods trade, alleged to have
been fraudulent. The long credits given
in the dry goods trade, and _the careless
way prevalent of trusting‘ out A large
amounts, to parties for whose responsibil-
ty there is little security, offers unusual
inducements to the dishonest. Business,

What: They Think of Us. ‘
The Providence Journal has the fol-
lowing. comments upon our State clectioli.
They are to a great extent deserved. It
is no credit to our people that scvelltceu
thousand voters should have stayed away
from the polls wheutlle matter in issue
was of such vital importance to the cause
of Free Labor. But the Journal will re-
member that old Connecticut, notwith-
versities, and the restless energy of its
people, is quite too -unsympathetic, and
slow. to acknowledgcgthe influence of any
great moral principle as applied to pol-
itics. It is right atllcart, but it rarely
gets so enthusiastic as to let the heart speak
out, and the consequence is that an ac-
tive minority, with eroneous political prin-
ciples, has frequently beaten tlic- honest,
but slow moving majority. This spring
we were engaged in an effort to unite par-
ties which, though generally agreeing,
held points of differcilce which -make a
common action hard of accomplishment.
There were also dislikes of candidates and
disappolntmeiits of personal preferences
had an adverse influence upon the elec-
tion, and which, ill ordinary times, would
of themselves been suflicient for our de-
feat. There is 'also a great body of Irish
voters, who swarm our cities and manu-
facturing towns and travel along the lines
of railways, who are perfectly marshalled
and controlled by the oflice-holders "of the
Gencral Government, and even the ofii cers_
of the United States Courts——-the ex-
pounders of the law! so far interested
themselves in the manufacture of these"
men into voters, that during election day
the Court is kept ili full" operation "to
naturalizc such a set of men. But in spite
of all these influences we have triumphed,
and have established a party _upon a ba-1
sis which will hereafter control the State.
The best evidence" of ‘success of correct
principles and the soundness of the heart
of Connecticut, is found in the fact that
the country towns, the quiet, unliaugiug-
ing homes of true Connecticut character,
are all, or almost all, with. us. ‘ Towns
formerly the strougliolds of Democracy
are now the strong holds of Free Labor
and White‘ meu’s rights, and itis only
-where, there is it large population of. lin-
‘tbinking men, absolutely controlled by
unscrupulous leaders, that Free Labor is
in a minority. How to get at this class
of men and‘ show them that they are
voting away their own rigllts, and the
greatest privleges of free men, is the prob-
lem to be solved by the white nlen’s party
in Connecticut
When it is done, as it must be done,
the Pro Slavery party, will collsist of offi-
cers without troops.

The most discreditable. The main ex-
cuse for it _is the bad weather on election
day. If the principles of the Conpccti-
cut Republicans cannot stand a Spring
shower,.if they melt like salt or sugar in
it moist almosplierc, they will rcqurc coli-
siderable hardening before they render
the service that free laborlias a right to
demand of them. Besides, we suppose
that in Couilecticut, as in other regions,
the rain falls on the just and tlie_ unjust,
and there is no reason to suppose that tile
clouds of heaven sparethc Democrats more
than they did the Republicans. If a mail
in that State will encounter a ducking in
the cause of South Carolina, we do not
see what valid excuse, his neighbor has
for shrinking from the same exposure in
the cailse of Connecticut. It was not to
Connecticut that we looked for ii. mem-
ber of Congress to balance tlle_ free soil

Indians were counted in New London

others in other parts of the State. Litch-
field County had the smallest number of
inhabitants; Barkhampsted having only
18, Hartland 12, Norfolk 84, and Win-

“The largest popiilatiou was in N orwicli,

I ll 1773, there was another census of
the Colony which gave 191,292 whites

It must be_ remembered that the towns
mentioned above covered a much greater

Important Caution to Druggish and Mer-

Wflsasxs, one William Leith, late of
the city New York, broker, has recently
been engaged in the "nefarious and un-
lawful business of counterfeiting the medi-
cines known throughout the world as
Hol.LowAv’s Olurusur, and .procured to
be printed for him, under false preteuces
anclfior fradulent purposes, 500,000 copies
of the bdok or pamphlet of directions
arouild each box _aud pot. , 8
Axn wusilsas,‘ the counterfeit book or
pamphlet is well‘ caculated ‘to deceive,‘
being a facsimile of the original, except
so far as regards the water-mark in the
paper, viz., -“ HOLLOWAY, New York and
Loudon,” which appears on every leaf of
thegenuine document, can. only be seen
by holding the paper between the eye and
the light.
Arm warrants, the aforesaid William
Leith, having been arrested, and charged,
on examination before Justice Connolly,
with procuring the printing and uttering
of the -above countefeits, escaped from
the custody of the officers on the 20th
day of December, 1856, and is now afa-
galirc fronljustice, and is supposed to be
pursuing his "dishonorable and felonious
desigiis elsewhere. .
The ’ Druggists of the various cities,
towlis, and villages of the United States
are therefore nsanav CAUTIONED against
dealing with the aforesaid William Leith
for any articles purporting to bc HoLLo-
w.n"s PILLS and Hol.l.ow.n"s OINTMENT,
or purcllasing any preparations bearing
that name from any quarter, unless the
leaves of the pamphlets wrapped around
the boxes and pots containing the same
shall bear the words “ HOLLOWAY, Nnw

ter-mark can only , be ‘distinguished by
lioldiilg up the printed sheet singly to the

A BORDER ‘RU!-‘FIAN P.ulsou.—In a
discussion in the Kansas Bogus Legisla-

made ‘a ferocious speech, in which he ad-
.mitted -that he killed Frederick Brown.-—
He "said that he was with the advance
gum-g] ofthe army that__.destroyed Ossa-
wattomie last August. They met Fred-
erick Brown on the road before they got
to Ossawattomie. — White Ordered him to
halt, which he did not do, when he, White,
“let him have it and he whirled over.”--
This was received in the legislature with
tremendous‘ applause. V '

road passcs along the side of aprecipitous

a wild -mountain stream, runs foaming
along over‘ its mountain bed. From
the railroad to the creek, a distance
of about seventy five yards, there is steep
precipice rising up at an angle of about 45
degrees.' On Monday night,one of the lo-
comotives attached to a qurden train, just
as it reached this point, broke a flange,
and detaching itself from the train, ran
down this precipice, carryiu with it I the
ellghieer, and fireman. Nel hcr_ of them
were able to get from the locomotive
-until it reached the creek, ...where it now
stands fair upon the wheels, without being
materially injured. But what is most
singular, neither the engineer or fireman
received the slightest harm. They scarce-

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
After several years experimenting in the manufactur-
ing of'Gin, Ifortunafely succeeded, in the year 1848. in
making a discoverv in its manufacture by which it was
deprived of all ucrid and infiamiuatory properties, and
rendered perfectly pure.
My nianufactnry is at Schledam. Holland. After sev-
. oral month’: reflection what title to give it, I introduc-
ed it to the American public under the name of “ Wolf“:
Schicdam Aromatic Schnapps.” Schiednm is the name
of the place in Holland where the Gin is manufactured.
Aromatic derives its name from the Italian Juniper
Berry with which it is flavored, and the word ‘ Schnapps’
is the German for drink--Count, D|’l|n-W011’! Schle-
dun Aromatic Drink. No sooner had my Schnapps
been introduced to.the American public and received
with approbation. than the Liquor Mixers of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia, started in pursuit with their
mixed and poisiouous stuff under various names : Schle-
dam Gin, Schiedam Schnapps, London Club House Gina
London Cordial Gin, &c., and in several cases my table,
have been so perfectly imitated, with only the addition
of: few letters to plead a technical avoidance of .the
law, and so carefully prepared as to impose on careless
pm-clussers. I understand at large quantity has been
purchased by the merchants of the Eastern States on
account of the cheapness of the articles. A merchant
who participates indirectly in the fraud by selling the
spurious articles, is as much an OIfE.adCl' as the print-
pal who planned the imposition.
I hope every respectable citizen who values the health
of the community in which he lives will aid me in fer-
retingout and exposing the unscrupulous merchant,
who. for the sake of a few cents, will put in jeopardy
the lives of the community in which he lives. Such
men should be mild to the pillory of popular execu-
tion. .
