§ “Let our object be OUR COUNTRY, OUR WHOLE
COUNTRY, AND NOTHING BUT OUR COUNTRY, and by
the blessing of God may that Country itself become a
Vast and Splendid Monument, not of Oppression and
Terror,‘ but of WISDOM, of PEACE, and of LIBERTY,
upon which the world may gaze with admiration foi-
ever.’ ’ DANIEL WI-‘.BSTl-IR.

The pooition of the Republican Party.

The exposure of the power which the Insti-
tution of Slavery had acquired in the admin-
istration of the federal government, as devel-
oped in the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska
Bill, was the immediate cause of the rise and
extraordinary growth of the Republican par-
ty. For such an organization, however,
events had previously prepared the way.-
The election of Mr. Pierce, by a majority in
the electoral college, which has few prece-
dents in the history of the country, while it
struck the Whigparty dead, aif by light-
ning, was equally fatal to its ancient oppo-
nent. Iu that election, the old issues which
had divided the public opinion of the country
were finally swept. away. Not iintil new
questions should arise, and those too of vital
moment, could there be a reorganization of
parties upon a permanent basis.

It wasjust at this epoch, during the first
year of the administration of Mr. Pierce, and
before his pro-slavery policy had been devel-
oped, that the American party had its begin-
nin g. It originated in the cities, and was the

result of a natural and just indignation felt
by orderly native citizens upon witnessing
the municipal corruptions which were nour-
ished and fed by filling the municipal oflices
with men of foreign extraction, and dubious
capacity or integrity. Appealing to the na-
tionalinstinct.it spread to the country and
passed over the land like wild-fire. Its mo-
tive was good; the man is a disgrace to his-
country, who believes that the hundreds of
thousands of native-born, educated, intelli-
gent American citizens, who crowded into
the Councils, were, in the main, actuated by
other than just, upright, and patriotic senti'
ments. It broke the "Democratic phalanx,
and opened the eyes of thousands to the iniq-
uities which had long been practised by the
wire-pullers of party. -

Just at this'crisis. just as the American
organization was culminating inits strength,
came the passage of the Nebraska Bill, fol-
lowed by the manifold outrages of a pro-
slavery Administration in Kansas. For this,
Americanism, as such, had no remedy. It°
had not grown up ‘in anticipation of this.-—
The National Council, controlled by the Soutn,
as such a body ever has been, endeavored to
smooth it over, but the Americans of the Free

States, excepting the dastardly Brooks faction
of New York, were not to be hood-winked.-
’I‘hey bolted, and in so doing, they effectually
killed the American organization as a politi-
cal party in the country. They bolted upon
principle, and because they loved principle
more than power. In all this, they did right,
and posterity will honor the manliness of the

But the passage of the Nebraska Act, and
the outrages in Kansas produced another ef-
fect. It set men to inquiring into the real
character of our government, into its history
and tendencies. They were unwilling to be-
lieve that it was for such purposes that this
Rsrvnuc was founded. They examined the,
records ; they inquired after the opinions and
practices of the founders of the government.
and were struck aghast at seeing how far our
rulers had departed and were departingfrom
the ‘principles which had control in the earli-
er and better days of the country. Wherev-
er general education was diffused, wherever
theold liberty-loving and right loving spirit
survived, there was an universal indignant
uprisiug-against the existing state of things..
And hence came the great REPUBLICAN gath-
ering of November, 1856. We do not use this
term “ republican,” because a Convention in
Pittsburg, or another in Philadelphia em-
ployed it ; it is older than either of those as-
semblages ; it belongs to the best days of the
Union ; it is the fittest word to describe
American institutions, American liberty,
American principles. From J arr-‘sasox to
Fasuoxr, it has belonged to those who love
the Union and the Ccnstitution, and the Free-
dom which they were intended to secure.

The Republican party is today as powerful
as any party, not in possession of the Admin-
istration, has ever been. Embracing all New
England and the Empire State.Ohio, Michi-
gan, Iowa and Wisconsin, it, at the same time,
is advancing to some pre-eminence in the four
Middle States, it has a firm footing in the bor-
der slave States. and is the more essentially
national of the two great parties which di-
vidc, the country. It is utterly impossible
but that it shall ultimately prevail, for it is
consciously in the right, and its opponents
are as consciously in the wrong. And that
not in the ordinary political sense of those
terms, bvt in the abstract moral sense; the
Republican party-is alarm‘, and its opponent
is wrong. As the world apprmchcs nearer
and nearer to the standard of perfect recti-
tude, Liberty will more and more prevail,
and Slavery will wither and die. The desti-
nies of Republicanism are indissolubly linked
with the former, those of the wretched thing
now mi:-called “ Dmzocrac-y,”,as indissolubly

link ed with the latter.

Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.

The Hartford Courant belabors the Press
of the same city, because the latter styles the
majority of the Assembly by the simple term
Republican, instead of the nondescript.
meaningless phrase Uniouiles, or something
of the kind. Now while we think that the-
Couront is making a tempest in a tea-pot, yet
we cannot help saying that the grand, old,
political designation, Rurunnrcax, is decided-
iv in better taste than the ‘name which the
Couranl prefers. And if, as that paper inti-
mates in another paragraph, on the some top-
ic, in reply to an article in the Tribune,
there men in Connecticut who will go over to
the support of Buchanan, sooner than be
called Republicans, why, the sooner they go
the better, for the newspaper press of the
whole Union has been calling every supporter
of Fremont Republican, since the commence-
ment of last Fall’:-3 campaign, and we have
seen in the columns of the Com-“ant itself,
an article from an Albany paper, in praise of
Gov. HoLL:r, some weeks since, in which
that gentleman was termed the Rurcnnrcxx
candidate for Governor in Connecticut.-
Moreover, the man who would go over to the
support of this pro-slavery administration on
such grounds as the Courant indicates. can-
not possibly have the slightest comprehension
of the great question dividing the only two
real parties in this country, or the slightest
attachment to_thc principles upheld by either
of them.

 

Q»
That Westport Letter.

We notice that our friends of the Hartford
Courant have fallen into an error as to the
authorship of this famous document, They
appear to suppose it to have been written by
an apostate Whig, and thereupon break out
into a diatribe against “ the southern portion
of Fair-field County,” utterly baseless and un-
deserved. None but a life-long Loco Foco,
dyed in the wool, accustomed to go down On
his knees at the behests of his faction, and
shriukingnot even when required to worship
Slavery as a party idol, could have written

 

The Bridgeport Partner. cheating the
‘ Post Office! '

It will be recollected what,an ado was made
a few weeks since because the Gazelle issued
an extra, in the shape of a circular, folded
within the weekly issue. The New Cgnaan,
Ridgefield, and Darien Post Masters stopped
the paper, and the Bridgeport Former vibra-
ted between tears and horror. '

Well, behold! last week the Former comes
to all its subscribers with an extra, in the
shape of acircular, folded within its weekly
issue. The thing is in dlrectviolation of law,
and the Farmer knew it, for it rebuked us for
‘doing the same thing, in our ignorance of the
U. S. Statute of January, 1857, a law which
the Former had in its possession, officially,
but which we had never seen.

But how difiereut the result. The rum-sel-
liug oyster vender. who keeps the Post Omce
in Darien, suffers the Farmer’: circular to
pass without question, New Canaan and
Ridgefleld does the same, even our worthy of-
ficial in Nor'walk forgot the law till reminded
of it, by a bystander, and then, to his ' praise
be it said, Imndled up the Farmer with its
illegal documents, and sent it back, to
Bridgeport.

We suggest to the ‘Farmer to perform a
few of those antics over its own sins, which it
so lately exhibited ‘at the shortcomings of the
Gazette.

" The Connecticut Press."

This sterling journal, published daily and
weekly at Hartford, approaches more nearly
to our idea of a perfect newspaper than any
heretofore or at present published in our
State. Earnest in its advocacy of right views,
yet ever courteous even to uncourteous oppo-
nents, an unflinching supporter of the Repub-
lican, and, we may add, true Democratic prin-
ciples, never quihbling about trifles, but al-
ways striking directly at the heart of the sub-
ject, devoted to the - great principles of uni-
versal freedom which uuderlie all our institu-
tions,il the Passs shall -continue to be con-
ducted as it has been since its present Editors
assumed its control, it cannot fail to become
the leading metropolitan journal of the State.
As a family. as well as political paper, the
weekly Pm: at the subscription price of a
dollar and a quarter a year, is without a ri-
val. Success to it, in its future career.

Fire in Wilton.

A barn belonging to Lewis Olmatead, was
set on fire by a rather precocious juvenile on
Tuesday afternoon last, and entirely consu-
med withits contents.‘ The lad having ob-
served the spring fashion ofclenring up door
yards and gardens by raking the straw lrc..
into heaps, and‘ then setting fire to them,
adopted the same mode of cleaning up the
barn. Having raked all the loose hay and
straw into a‘ heap in the center of the barn,
set the miles onflre, and succeeded in making
a pretty clean job of it. We thinkit would
pay for the Insurance Company to Educated
that boy. 1

~ The Judiciary Reform.

The Hartford Times publishes the fol-
lowing table, showing that the number of
cases on the court dockets have dimin-
ished more than 25 per cent. since the
Reform‘ Bill of 1855 passed. The most
obstinate of the old cares are now out of
the way, and the next two years will
show a still greater decrease :

BUSINESS OF THE COURTS.

Before the new law the doses were
rapidly accumulating on the dockets, and
had the old system continued, the increase
would probably have been as great as

e decrease. In all but two (we be-

ve) of the counties, the cases are now
reached within a year after they are
brought, and the cases on the dockets
are all of very recent. origin. Hartford
County is the slowest, for the lawyers
will not try civil cases in summer, and
they are unable to sweep ofi' all the busi-
ness‘in the winter, though the court is in
session pretty much all the time.

CONDITION or Souru C.\aor.rs.l.——C-olonel
Benton says that as a Southern man he
understands perfectly the condition of the
South, and- he describes the people of
South Carolina as moving about in a

state of alarm all day, for fear the Ab- -

clitionists of the North may steal their
nigger-s, or cod the country suddenly
with incendiary documents through the
post-oflice. At night they sleep with one
eye open, at the first stroke of the fire-
bell the mother grasps her infant closer
to her breast, and the father rushes forth
expecting a servile insurrection. From
living in this state of excitement they
have become exceedingly irritable till the
least allusion to Abolitionism almost mad-
dens them, and they have comc_ to be-
lieve the only remedy for these evils is to
be found in a dissolution of the Union,
when they will build a Chinese wall tp
protect them from the Northern barbari-
ans.

Dsxru or run Ourcrxxr. “ UNCLE
Tou.”- The Indianapolis Jaw Ml records
the death, in that city on Sunday last, of
Thomas Mogruder, an old negro who had
attained the advanced age of 110 years.
He is supposed to have been the one who
suggested the name and the leading fea-
tures of the character in Mrs. Stowe's cel-
ebrated novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”—
This supposition is based on the coinci-
deuce of name and character, and on the
facts, says The Journal, that Henry Ward
Beecher, when resident there was a con-
stant visitor of “ Uncle Tom’s,” well ac-
quainted with his history, and a sincere
admirer of his virtues ; that Mrs Stowe
herself sometimes called to see the old
man, and that “ Uncle 'l‘om’s Cabin,”
too, was the name of his house among all
his acquaintances, and was a familliar
phrase there long before Mrs. Stowe im-
mortalized it. At till events it is the im-
presson with all the friends of Mrs. Stowe
and her brother, in Indianapolis, that
“Old Uncle Tom” was .the original, or at
least the suggestion of the hero of the
“ Cabin.”

S" The Newburgh murder remains as
much a mystery as ever. The “ creole
woman” who made such a talk about her
granddaughter proves to have been a
crazy woman ; the bonnet found floating
on the Hudson was thrown into the riv-
er a past use, bysome woman cleaning
house ; the trunk, found a few rods from
the body and supposed to have contained
it, has been shown to be no bigger than
an orange box, and to have been left. by
a Dutchman who was traveling on foot
and found it too heavy to carry ; the
young woman missed from Brooklyn was
too young for the murdered one. , The
coroner’s jury have adjourned without a
verdict, waiting for some further develope-
ment.

Two classes of conqbcrors appear up-
on the earth, and from each class we se-
lect a type to illustrate the difierence
which lies betwen their practice and
achievements. There are soldiers whose
mission seems to be to pull down and
overturn—and such were Alexander and
Napoleon ; there are reformers who, from
the ruin of decaying systems, create and
build up new structures-—and to this lat-
ter class belong such men as Luther and
Holloway i Let as contrast Napoleon
and Holloway——two men, alike perhaps in
the normal nature of their genius, and
each aiming at a certain universality se-
.lected. The empire of the sword which
the former created and for so many years
of fluctuating victory sustained and fos-
tered was, after all, an idle and a bloody
dream. It faded in the frost of his first
reverses, and when he died, a lonely exile
on the sea-girt rock, there was no compen-
sating benefit that he could point to for
all the carnage, misery. and ruin his per-
sonal ambition cost the world.

Professor Holloway made a wiser
choice, dlthough the enemy he grappled
with had "more than mortal terrors at
command. He levied war upon disease,
and with the self-made weapons of his
Universal Remedies has fought and over-
come his enemy in every land, on every
sea, among all tribes and nationalities of
the earth. It was a stubborn tight and
one in which success brought no tri-
umphal cries to cheer the prowess of the
conqueror. The silent gratitude of a res-
cued sufferer, the still small voice of an
approving conscience, the assurance that
his years had been devoted to a worthy
object, and the growing respect and ad-
miration of all whose good opinion
deserves to be considered,——tbese were
the only stimulants which prompted him
to despise the caiumnies of interested
hate, and persist in the medicinal empire
which he has at length established among
all the nations and‘ branches of the human
family. And his is an empire that will
last, and a reward that shall not ‘pass
away.

It would be an insult to the understand-
ing of our readers—versed as we must
suppose them to be in a matter of such
vital interest--to enlarge ' upon the dif-
fereut steps of the investigation by which
Profesor Holloway succeeded in demon-
strating that all maladies took their rise
in an organic inpurity of blood. He did
discovcrit ; and by discovering in addi-
tion. one single combination of herbs ca-
pable of restoring the blood to’ purity,
arrived at that Universal Remedy which
though dreamed of, and believed in, and
hoped for by the wise men of all former
ages,‘hod never before been realized in
the test of universal practice. Great, in-
deed, is the rcward of the learned and in-
dcfatigable physician ; the prayers of the
‘millions he has saved accompany him
when he is summoned from the scene
which his genius and philanthropy have
so largely contributed to improve. The
reward of practical benevolence is an im-
perishable crown. _

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

After several years experimenting in the mauufactnr
ing of Gin, 1 fortunately succeeded, in the year 1848, in
making it direoverv in its manufacture by which it was
deprived of all acrid and inflammatory properties, and
rendered perfectly pure.

My inanufactory is at Schiedam, Holland. After sev-
eral month's reflection what title to give it, I introduc-
edit to the American public under the name of “ Woll’s
Schiedurn 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 itis flavored, and the word ' Schnapps’
is the Gcrman'for drink—(hgne, DI'Im—Wolf’I Schic-
dam Aromatic Drink. No sooner had my Schnapps
been introduced to the American public and received
witbopprobotion. than the Liquor-~Mixeru of New’York,
Boston and Philadelphia, started in pursuit with their
mixed and poisionous stutf under various names : Schic-
dam Gin, Schiedarn Schnapps, London Club House Gina
London Cordial Gin. &c., and in several cases my lable,
have been so perfectly imitated, with only the addition
of a few letters to lead a technical avoidance of the
law, and so earefu ly prepared as to impose on careless
purchasers. I understand a large quantity has been
purchased by the merchants of the Eastern States on
account of the cheapnesx of the articles. A merchant
who participates indirectly in the fraud by selling the
spurious articles, is as much an ofl'e.rder as the princi-
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-
reting 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 he lives. Such
men should be naild to the pillory of popular execu-
tlou.
