If The Dred Scott Decision. Judge Tauey, with the entire approval of President Buchanan and the Journal of Com. mercc, pronounces the Declaration of Inde- pendence all a mistake, and avers that the men who drafted it did not mean what they said. The Committee which drafted that in- strument was Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Roger Sherman ; every one of whom after the adoption of the Declaration, in repeated instances, declared that they did mean precisely what they said. But' to maintain the supremacy of Slavery in the Republic, it becomes necessary to libel the Fathers and to falsify History. It must have been in anticipation of just such outra- ges as this decision, that Chancellor Kent, in the second volume of his Commentaries, in speaking of the‘eflicacy of Bills of Rights. rc- marked;"il requires more than ordinary hardiness and audacity of character, to trample down principles which. our ancestors cultivated with reverence; which we imbibed in our early education; which recommend themselves to the judgment of the world by their truth and simplicity ; and which are constantly placed before the eyes of the peo- ple, accompanied wi.‘h the iznposing force and ulcmnily of a constitutional sanction.” I . The Law of Fire Limits. We would call the attention of the citizens of the Borough of Norwalk, to the law pro‘- hibiting the erection or removal of wooden buildings within the municipal fire limits.—- This Statute remains to day in as complete force as ever, and yet there seems to be a tendency to disobey its provisions on the part of some of our people. There is no more wise,just, or beneficent Act on the Statute book, and if men will not obe_vit,its penal- ties should be vigorously enforced. We ob- serve a small wooden building on the premi- ses opposite the upper lumber yard, which has been"placed there in violation of the Statute, unwittingly no doubt on the part of its industrious and honest oyvner, another in Main st., and we understand that other similar erections or removals are contemplated. .5. Mr. Ferry has been defeated by most unfair andunprincipled trickery. Private viudictiveness has usurped the principle of justice, of honor of decency. He has been attacked by Governors andex-Gov- ernors, by State and United States Sena- tors, by Representatives and ex-Repre- setatives, and by all that personal hatred, and disappointment in not being, able to control him beyond the dictates of his own belief, could muster into its ranks. v Lilchfield Eozquirer. fir The Enquirer states the case rather strong, while it is undoubtedly true that Mr. Ferry received some very strong back-handed support, particularly in this’ County. the se- vere and unprecedented storm, united to an overweeuiug confidence in his election, only prevented it by the largest majority ever yet received by any candidate. We have no criminationsto hurl at those who did or didn’t do, in the matter of Li 0'cctic-n, for Mr. Ferry can well afford to wait the short period of two years, when he may bid defiance to all the obstacles which have been arrayed against him in the present canvass, and which has procured his defeat by only 16 votes. Aside from the regrets and disappointments of the friends of Republicanism, both here and else- where,so far as the future of our cause is concerned, his defeat will be one of the most profitable lessons we could have learned, as it is a notorious fact that enough of our voters in this town remained home, on election day, to have saved our Senator, our Sheriff‘. and Congressman, any ‘ one of whom, since the knowledge of their defeat,would travel to the polls upon their hands and knees to reverse the result. On the day of election each one beguiled himself with the illusion that there would be a majority sufficiently large without his votc,‘and have thus wautonly thrown away these officers. We knuv howev- er, that they will never again be thus caught and would refer them to the noble sentiments of Mr. Ferry himself, published by us last week from our Derby exchange. ~<Q>>o————— The New Bank.

It becomes a serious question, as the Fourth of July draws near, what is to be substitu- ted in lieu of that old, worn-out document, which we were ‘accustomed to hear carefully read in the public celebrations of that day.-— The Supreme Court of the United St ates has decided it to be all a sham, and that the men, who got itup, were not at all in earnest in the matter, but were quietly laughingin their sleeves all the while . Modern “ Democracy,” of the patent kind, adopts this decision and pronounces it a “ gratifxing proof” of the truth of “ .Dem.ocra!ic” principles. Now what are we to do? to read the Declaration is to preach “ black” Republicanism. What shall be done for the Fourth of July? Who will suggest ? .._?__.........*____~:.

The _agitatiou that has for the last twenty years threatened the stability of the Union, has at last subsided; or at least it has been so announced by the present Chief Magistrate of the Nation. Of course, Mr. Buchanan does not wish to be understood to say that" it will stay subsided ; he means that the question of Slavery as connected with the administra- tion of the General Government," is in a fair and sure way for solution. If this is what the President means, most certainly we agree with him. We think the follow- ing figures will put the matter beyond a doubt : In 18-10 the an ti-slavery party polled 7000 votes In’l8-I4 " “ 70,000 “ In 1848 390,000 “ In 1856 1.3-11,812 “. This rapid falling off in the Republican vote, from 7,000 to more than a million, is ominous of the rapid destrugtiou of the “fanatics,” and a very sure sign that the election of ’60 will put a stop to this “rub- a-dub agitation,” and drive the “last nail in the cofiiu” of Slavery Propagan- dism. is H 6- ~ 06 ‘> , 0*‘ Snccnssrur.

V Nnw‘Yom:~, April 24th, 1857. The severe weather which has prevail- ed on all sides of us his prevented peo- ple from traveling this way to any great extent either from business or f'or pleasure, and consequently all who keep shop for the outside world have been dull and dis- appointed. The trade of the season inddry goods has been remunerative to parties doing business with the South ;' but for the west, importat-ions have been made which have not been taken up ; and many small houses must fail or ask an extension. The first day of the week, Monday, we had a very heavy rain storm, the second was lowering ; since that the weather has been sunny and gradually growing warm though there is still an unseasonable chilliness in the atmosphere, owing to snows lying north of us. There has been no excitement in our streets except what resulted from the abortive attempt iofpa party of militia to get up a grand parade. Sir John Falls- tafi"s regiment couldn't hold a candle to this display ; some national prejudieies caused a disagreement and kept back the native born from parading and the clan who did turn out were all the colors of the rainbow, and all the slop work of Chat- am St., while their bayonets were pointed at various constelations in every quarter of the heavens. Amusements for the million are very profitable ; the Ravels are the most popular artistes just now. Madame Gazzaniga enchants the conuoiseurs in classic music. ' ~ - Property is going up enormously in the region of the City~Hall ; some sales have been made this week at very high prices. This results from the extending commerce of the city, which is -fast pushing their dry goods men out of their old ‘-haunts in Broad St., and the lower part of Broad- way. The jobbers are moving up town and the commision houses are obliged to follow to keep conveniently near their customers. Consider how many profits a piece of French silk must be taxed with before it reaches the consumer.- First, the manufacturer must be paid ; then the shippcr.; then the importer sells. by the package at about 5 per cent aver- age onthevalue ;, then the jobber sells by the price to the retail trader at an abvanced profit of 25 per cent ; finally the city or country ‘merchant gets hold of the goods, and asks anything that people can be made to pay_., There is very rarely any loss on goods in second and third hands, though the importer frequently loses by his sales. Another class some. times intervenes between the. importer and the jobber, namely, brokers and auctioneers. The best auctioneers some. times makes $2,000 and $3000 of from a single days sales.

The disease, or attack, or whatever else it may be called, confines itself solely to those who have fed at the tables of the National Hotel. Visitors, who have passed freely in and out, without going to the tables, have universally’ escaped, while of those who were boarders at the hotel, aimostpevery one has suffered more’ or less——some have already gone to their graves ' in consequence, and others, of stonger health, are yet struggling in ‘a fearful contest with the poison in their veins. The number of those who are thus sufferers is not limited to a scattered one here and there, but _there are at least two thousand people, first attracted to Wash- ington by the Nation’s gayest and grand- est festival, and then dispersed abroad over the whole country, who are in- a de- gree the victims of this strangepestilence. The qWashington Board of Health en- deavor to mitigate public apprehension by attributing the sickness to the bad air and gases rising from the city sewers, but the indiscriminate fatality of the disease and its characteristics in every respect forbid this as its‘ origin. Its manifesta- tions are the same in everyrcase, and physicians have been unable to effect a cure, not only in -their patients, but in their own individual cases- .We have seen no less than three physicians who have not only attended‘ on others as patients, but have themselves ‘experienced the-workings of the disease in their-own systems. It illy sustains the conclusion of the Washing- ton Bourd of Health, that all these medi- cal m_en pronounce‘ the disease to be "the result ofaetive mineral poiseu taken into the system through the stomach. Wheth- er a wholesale pisioning of thousands, the President and suit among thcnumber, was the murderous design of some nefari- ous wretch,-or whether the diseaseais due to accident alone, we do not know. That the cause of it is simple poiseu, we have no doubt.— Winsted Herald. _.____...<.>..____ ~ Rev.

Instead of the large expense fre- quently resorted to of inassineetings, dis- tributing occasional documents, etc, it suggests ass a simpler, safer, and far cheaper method, the continued circula- tion ot' reliable Republican newspapers. It says : - * Let every man who wishes to promote the Republican cause, and who has adol- lar or two to spare, sit down at his table forthwith and enclose the price of a sub- scriptiou I to- the publishers of the best Republican newspaper he can think of-— the New York Evening Post, for ins- tancc, the Tribune, Albany Journal, Bos- ton Traveller, or if his disposition is. to help on‘ a deserving enterprise nearer liomc, the Winsled Herald or the Hart- ford P~racs—-ordering it ‘sent to some hon- est, wcll-meaning , Democrat, who . will read it., ' D_o notfsend him a single num- ber the weck before election, but send, it_ regularly for six months, then for a year, for two years if need be, and uftcrthut, our word for it, -the-Democrat will save you the trouble.

The first copy will not create an impression, nor the second, nor the_third. But ‘week after week comes in the paper with its freight of thought, its news, its business, its records, who is married, who is dead, its humor, its tales its graver themes, and its political lessons which are or should be a prominent do-‘ partment in every newspaper read and patronized‘ by a free people. Sure as Saturday it comes. and perhaps the next day is not less holy that its hours of rest are partly spent in its perusal-. .Soon its absence will be missed ; an attachment is formed, and, if not the father, then the son or the wife‘, must or will have the Republican paper. There is not one man in twenty that can resist such influ- ences. Inscnsibly, without antagonism or dispute, they _work pnd prevail, and the man and all his house will adopt the sentiments of the-paper sure ere long.-"- There are some towns we kuowof, where this course is adopted, and in those where it is most liberally and faithfully perse- vered in there are scarcely enough locos left to ‘fill a ticket‘ for town officers.

The pfirm failed some months ago, and wishing to ascertaflt the cause, if possible, of their deficiency ‘in funds, they instituted an investigation of their books for several yearsvpast,'and the discovery of the above enormous deficit in their cash account. was made apparent.

The waves as they foamed and surged over the sunken engine, swayed the bell, which alone with the smoke-pipe‘ appeared above, water, and caused it to give a slow tolling sound.- When the engine was raised from the water the engineer was found in a. stand- ing posture, with his stiff, cold icy hand firmly grasping the throttle valve, as though amid the thick darkness he had discovered the perilous condition of the train and had sprung to avert the ruin. But it was too late—the engine and train, with its precious freight of life and pro- perty, went down, and during the dreary night the engine-bell and the mad-rushing waters rang out a solemn requiem for the dead ! ,It is probable that had not the freight train gone down as it did, the passenger train from Chicago, due two hours later, and loaded with sleepiugpas- sengers, would itself have taken the fatal plunge.—-Joilet Democrat. 0*’ . .

The bride- groom lives in Illinois, the bride at Whately, and at her home the morrago should have occurred on Monday even- ing ; but when the evening come no bride- groom or clergyman with it, both "being left over by the cars, the one at Spring- field and :thc_ other at Northampton.- The next morning the unhappy lover hast- ened to Whately by the first’ cars, and as his ‘stay in. the east was limited, it was finally agreed to proceed to Bellows Falls the same afternoon, he married there, and from thence continue the journey for the west and for life. At the depot the waitng pair met the delinquent pastor stepping from the very train they were to .take, and without hesitation it was deci- dedthat he should go on with them and perform the ceremony in the cars. This was done to the eminent satisfaction of the parties and the.great entertainment of the other passengers. ptiugjield Republican, Zllarch.

We are told by the some authority, that in that book, when it is given to the country, the allegations of the Republican journals in relation to the ficndishattrocities practiced upon the Free State men by their Border-Ruffian invaders will not only confirmed, but fully proved. It will be stated that, during a trip on a. much frequented road, soon after his (arrival in the Territory, the Governor srvw the borlicx of rwnxrv-six murdered Free- Stalc me». Some of those had been shot or brained, and thrown by the roadside, to rot under the burning sun. Others had been scalped as Indians scalp their victims. One pinioned to a tree by a bowie -knife driven through his heart into the solid wood at his back ;on his breast was fastened a writterwaruing to all other “ Al)olitionists.” Some were buried just beneath the parairie sod, their hands and arms left sticking-out of the shallow holes into which they had been thrown. Upon others, the nameless mutilations of private parts, which characterize the -ferocious joy of the Indian, in the moment of victory, had been committed. In all cases brutality seems to have exhausted itself‘ in insitiug what, among allcivilized inen, whether friend or foe, are looked u on with respect-—the bodies of the dead. “ I-Iadthese things appeared in the letters detailing events in Kansas between May and November last, the journal pub- lishing them would have been suspected of exaggeration, even by its own political friends ; _yet more than one of ‘the atro- cities which the Governor will: describe, was witten by faithful correspondents for our columns, but we refused publication for reason alleged above. press revelations, like these, which will not only convict the Missourians and their allies of all that has been charged upon them, but the entire border rufliau press of the North complicityin, or criminal.si- leuce in regard to, these attrocities, we cannot tell. But if the-, governor’s pres- ent determination is adhered to,his will be the sensation-book of the season. _ - “Lmnu.\Lrrv or PHrsrcuxs.—It has always been said that - physicians would disparage any remedy, however valuable, whicli_ theyqdid not originate‘. themselves.

After several years experimenting in the manufactur- ing of Gin, 1 fortunately succeeded, in the year 1848, in making a dircoverv in its manufacture by which it was deprived of all acrid and Inflammatory properties, and rendered perfectly pure. _ My manufactory is at Schieilam, Holland. ‘After sev- eral month’s refleetiou what title to give it, I introduc- ed it to the American public under the name of “ Wolf’: Schieslam Aromatic Schnapps.” Schiedam 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—Cogne,.Dram-—Wolf’s Schic- dnni, Aromatic Drink. No sooner‘ had my Schnapps heenintrodnced 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 poisionops am! under various names : Schic- dam Gin, Schiedam Schnapps, London Club House Gina London Cordial Gin, &c., and in several case: my lable, have been so perfectly imitated, with only the addition of a few letters to plead ajtuchniéal avoidance of the law, and so carefully prepared as to impose on relese purchasers. I understand a large quantity has been purchased by the merchants of the I-Intern 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 offender as the princi- pal whoplanned the imposition. I hope every respectable citizen who value: the health ofthe community in which he lives will aid me in fer- rottug out and exposing the unscrupulous merchant, who, for the sake of a few cents. will put in jeopardy the lives of the community ,in which Jae lives. Such men should be naild to the pillory of popular execu- t n.

The adaptation of this variety to the varying soil and climate of our country, is such as to render it superior to any now cultivated.” The subscriber having obtained one peck of the Chili potatoes in the year 1855, planted them about the first of May on clover award, without any manure, ashes, or other fertilizer, and obtained a yield of six and a half bushels or twenty-six from one. In 1856 I planted the greater part of them upon stalk ground, manured heavily from the cow-yard. which caused them to grow rapidly, and give an abundant’ yield of sound potatoes.
