He says peace and prosperity. ‘will follow
- admissiou.,. The people can make and un-
muke constitutions. as: they please. Of
the provision against amendment before
1864 he says : . — -
“ It -would be absurd to say that. they
can impose fcttcrs upon their own power
which they cannot. afterwards remove.-
If theycoiild do this, they might tic their
owu hand just as well‘ for a hundred
as for ten years. - These are the fundamen-
tal principles’ of American freedom and
are recogu_izcd_,iu some form by every
state constitution, and if Congress, in the
act of admission, should think proper to
recognizefliein, I can perceive no object-
tion.” , ,
Other states hayc disregarded such rc-
strictions,and they are “wholly unavail.
ing.” The fbll‘ow.iiig is important :
“ It has been solemnly adjudged by the
highest judicial tribunal that Slavery ex-
ist,s in Kansas by virtue of the Constitu-
tion of A the United States. ]i'rmzsa..v is
I/Ierefore at I/12's rrmrrzenl as .mxuc/I. (I- slare

VVithout this, -the cqualit y of the so.\'cr-

be violated,‘and the use and enjoyment
ol"u territory acquiredby the common
treasures of all the-‘states would be closed
ugnius the people and property of nearly
half t-he'met"nber's of the coufedcracy.——-
Slavery'ca7u, thcrcforc, never be prohibit-
ed in Knnsascxcept through the means
of a constit-utional provision, and in no
other manner can this be obtained so
promptly if the majority of the people dc-
sire it, as by admitting her into the Union
under her present constgtution; On the
other band, should Congress «eject. the
constitution under the idea of affording
the disafiectetl in Kansas :1 third oppor-
tunity to prohibit. slavery in the state,
which they might have done twice before
if iuithe-majority», no man can foretell the
consequences. If Congress for the sake
of those men who refused to vote for del-
egates to the convention when they might
have excluded slavery from the constitu-
tion, and who‘ afterwards refused to vote
on the 21st of Dec., whendhey might, as
they claim, have stricken slavery f'rom
the constitution—4should now reject the
state because slavery rcmrains in the con-
stitution’, it is manifest that the agitation
upon this -subject will be renewed in a
more alarming form than it has ever be-
fore assumed.”
He then talks of the prospects of revi-
ving agitation from a “ cause more tri-
fling and insignificant. than has ever stir-
red the elements ofla great people into
commotion. Even if it were a question
of expediency and not of right “a. small
difference of time” in changing the consti-
tution is’ notliingcompared with the evils
of renewed agitation. ‘
The. speedy admission will “ restore
peace and quiet to the whole couutr.(,”
he says! There has _bceu already too
much talk : the excitement will be local-
ized, and he w ll be able to withdraw
the troops kept there at t.hc “ earnest im-
portunity of Gov. _W'alker” “to keep
down the rebellion,” though “interfering
with theiex'pcd_ition to Utah.”
He closes thus :
“I have thus, performed my duty in
this important question, under a deep
sense of my responsibility to God and my
country.; My public life will terminate
in a brief period, and I have no other ob-
ject of eart.hl_v—an1bition than to lcavc my
country in a peaceful and prosperous con-
dition and to live in the affections and
rcspect of my count-rymcu. The dark and
ominous_ clouds now impending over the
Union I conscientiously believe will be
dissipated with honor. to every portioa of
it, by the; admission of Kansas during the
present scssiouof Congress. Whereas
if she sliould be rejected, I greatly fear
these cloiids will become darker and more

In place of our own article this week. upon
the position of the American Party. we copy
the following able and truthful exposition
from the Norwich Courier:
A.uv:mcxs1s.\: is 1850
'l'(’. )‘.S".'( S
Auunic.-xxisu I.\’ 1858. -
The cvents which sigualizcd the Na-
tion which met at Philadelphia _in June
1856 for the purpose of nominating cau-
didates for President and Vice President,
are still fresh in the public mind. It will
be. remembered as the first. National
l’rcsidcntia‘l Convention ever assembled,
in which the North planted itself firmly
on a Free State 1’la.t.form in opposition to
a Pro-Slavery Platform. It presented to
the country the first instance of a Nation-
al Convention broken into fragments by
the aggressive and imperious policy of
the South, intent on nationali’/Aug an in-
stitution which thc fathers of the Repub-
lic, with George \Vashingt-on and Thomas
Jefferson at their head, dcplorcd as a
fearful cvil———an cvil which cried to Heav-
en for retributive vengeance on the land.
A large majority of the Northern Dele-
gates in that Convention made a stand
against - this dangerous, domineering
Southern policy; and when thc_" found
themselves outnumbered by Southccu
Americas and Northern doughfaccs com-
bined, they dcnouuced the action of the
Convention and marched out of it. By
that act the national organization of the
party was broken up and its power pros-
tratcd. The Northern Delegates, who
had thus stood firm to their principles, re-
turned home. The Delegates who were
there from Connecticut, when they came
back, reported what. they had douc,—~tlm.t
sooner than yield to the demands of the
Slave Powcr—sooucr than sacrilicetheir
Free Principles on the altar of Slayer ,
they had unhcsitatingly dissolved their
party organization. The alternative of
fcatly to the American Party, or fcatly
to Freedom and the Party of Freedom,
had been distinctly presented to them,
and they had given for answer : “ Party
names and party organizations are things
of a. day: Principles are eternal. The
former are valuable only as means of en-
forcing and establishing the latter.——-—
Whcu they fail in this, they fail in all.~—-
You demand that we of the North shall
endorse a system which we repudiate and
abhor ; and then that we shall _shicld it
by the combined and compacted power of
our N atioual Americanism. “Te may not
—wc will not do it.- .Wc stand by and
for our free principles, lct whatever may,
become of the American Party.”
Such, in substance, was the report. of
the Connecticut Delegates when they re-
turned home ; and they appealed to the
American party of Connecticut to sustain
them in what they had done. That ap-
peal was afiirmativcly, heartily, and
promptly responded t.o. The honest heart
of the honest masses of the American
party was outspoken and emphatic in its
approval. Through all the heated Pres-
idential campaign which followed, the
fact that the Americans of the North had
proved their devotion to free principles
at the expense, and by the ‘deliberate
sacrifice, of their party organization, was
a proud theme of rcmarc on the part of
“ American” spc‘a.kcrs at all our political
gatherings. N 0 Northern party, we were
told, had ever before been found with
back-bone enough ro stand up against the
slave power. In so saying, they perhaps
said the truth. It might have been said
hd'wcver, with equal truth, that never be-
fore had a national Conventional been
11n_der circumstances parallel to those at-
tending the American Convention at
Pliiladclpliia. Never before had 3. Con-
vention been held when the pressure from
without—the pressure from an aroused
and indignant public sentiment through-
out t-hc entire North,——was so powerful
—ncver a convention when, for Northern
men to have faltered, would have been
the signal for such a tempest of popular
scorn and exccration, as would have burst
upon and overwhelmed these llclegatcs
not only in Connecticut but-in every Free
State in the Union. Still it is no part
of our purpose or wish to detract one jot.
or tittlc from the just mood of praise
which belongs to the Americans of the
North for the manly course they pursued
on that occasion. Thcy met the crisis
firmly in the spirit and with the determi-
nation ofmeu themselves not only to free,
but ready to battle for the establisluncnt
of freedom for others. \Ye honored and
thanked them for it. All true men of
the N orth who placed principle paramount
to party did the same. _
"Well, what followed ? All over the
Not-t.h——in nearly every free _ State——
Amcricans,.a very great majority of them
at least, actuated by the same spirit and
following out the line of policy initialed’
at Philadelphia, igtrzarerl distinctive Amer-
icauism, a.nd fought out the Presidential
battle under the broad banner of Repub-
lican Freedom, as opposed to the black.
banncr of Slavery ; “ and under that sign
we conquered” here at the North. In
Connecticut, such a signal and overwhelm-
ing political triumph laaxl not been achiev-
ed for many long years.
Such was the Americauism of the hon-
est, earnest, aroused masses in Connecti-
cut, as well as elswhcre, in 1856. It was
an Americanism which sunk out of sight
all secondary and side issues ; and looking
the one great, overshadowing question of
Slavery steadily in the face, was content
to stand‘ or fall in the fight with that gi-
ant iniquity ; but standing or falling, was
resolveclito know no other issue I/um that.
How is it nose, in I858‘? Vfc are on
the eve of another political battle in Cou-
uccticut. . The same great. question which
we met in 1.855, meets ,us here to-day,.—~
What sort of front do a -few uneasy, would
——be leaders of Amcricauism in the State
desire to present, tlxeniselvea, and to have
Amcricanism prcscut tothc enemy in this
coming contest? ’

10 display the School in a Holiday dress for
the occasion, but the Exarnination was con-
duct.ed to such an extent, and with such a
degree of minutencss, as to show the actual
progress of every class in the paths of knowl-
edge. It was appare nt that every depart-
ment. from the Primary to the Classical, had
been under that thorough and vigorous dril-
ling which makes, and which alone makes,
Scholars. In Grammar, for example, and in
Mathematics, there was an intelligent readi-
ness to explain the reason of things, a famil-
l3l'll-Y with the principles and their applica-
tion. which showed that the studies ofthe pu-
pilshad not been mere superficial exercises
of the memory, but had taxed and called into
requisition the reason and tbcuudcrslanding.
I-laving attended the Examination of the
School last August, us well as the present
onc,I was equally surprised and delighted
with the progress exhibited in the several
classes. I think it would be difiicnlt to find
another si milnr institution. where a more sen-
siblc advance. a more visible improvement
should be manifested in the same space of
time. Its present ‘corpsof instructors evi-
dently excel in tliethrce csscnlial requisites
of a successful teacher, an apt uess to impart
instruction, to use their own minds as levers
to elevate those of their pupils, a tact in win-
ning their respect and cstecm, as evinced by
the. perfect order, the cheerful subordination
observable in‘ every part of the institution,
and a capacity to inspire them with that gen-
erous ambition of improvement which makes
the studies of the School-room not a task, but
a pleasure.
I am confident. lhal never since its first or-
gauization has this School been more richly
deserving ofpnblic confidence. than at the
present time. Its faithful and pains-taking
teachers, its thorough method ofinstruc,tion,
its inteligent, public-spirited Committee, are
so many reliable pledges for its efficient. per-
formance of that ministry in the in tellectual
culture of our children and youth, which
makes. and I trust will long make it a bles-
sing and an honor to our community.

we were only able to attend the exercises
of Friday afternoon, and here we must
confess our astouislnncnt at f.he exhibition

years of the pupils. Our limits prevent
us saying what we had designed this

the ground is pretty well gone over, by

in educational matters cutitlc his opinions

Mu. Emror. :-—At this time when labor is
scarce, and laborers many, is there not " Pub-
lic Spirit” enough in our town, to see that
a good deed could be done by selling to
work some of the unemployed hands, to clear
out our Dock? Such a. Harbor in the midst
of such a town is a disgrace. Have we not
among us business men who are keen enough
to see that each one’s interest will be en-
hanced by having the work done, and done
now, when labor is cheap. Spring will soon
be here, and then hands that are idle now
will have plenty to do, so let us employ
them at once, if it can be done. Speak a
word for it, Mr. Editor, set the ball rolling,
there are plenty of stout, open hearts to
keep it going when once it is started, and as
a “ rolling stone gathers no moss,” may the
rolling of the stones in our Harbor soon
wear off‘ the moss which now seems so settled
on them, that we might jud ge they had rest-
ed thcre since the flood ; but I presume it is
only the quiet possession of their-place which
mak)s them look so aged, as I understand it
was not really during Noah-‘s flood that they
were deposited there, but during a flood of a
more recent date, one in our own time they
say. Oxu mm 1.0 oxs ovsu'ru1~: Bnmou.

The Kansas questions came up in the
House of Reprcscntatgvcs, Friday, and
quite an exciting discussion ensued, du-
ring which there occurred a knocking
down” argument. -Kcitt, of‘ South Caro-
lina, was the man “floored,” and Grow,
of _Pcmzsg/lrarzia. was ll/e aggressor. Can-
not we bave another Sumner indignation
meeting '?—Brz'dgeport Fa-77m'.r.
So says the Farmer in its excess of de-
votion to the slave-driving interests. Mr.
House, the next day:
“It was due to fair dealing that he
should assume to himself all the responsi-
bility for the violation of its order, digni-
ty of i is decorum. He was the ag,r,rrcssor,
and whatever of responsibility pl'operly
attached to the act, belonged to him
alone." It was also due to justice that he
should make whatever reparation it was
in his-power to make tlicqdiguity and dc-
cornm of the House thus violated. He
did this in the expression of his profound
regret at the occurrence. Personal col-
lissions are always unpleasa.ut.——-very sel-
dom c.\'cusablc—~1'arcly just.ifiu.ble——nev-
or in a legislative body. He felt. in full

entire responsibility properly belonged to
him. '

Mn. Emrou :——0ue‘ of the New York
city papers of last week, contained are-
port. of the. number of stores kept open
during the Sabbath, and the number was
largc. But, sir, is not the number of
Rum Shops, and places where Rum can
be obtained on that day in our own town
as large or larger-in proportion l0 the
population, and are not the keepers of
these places becoming more bold and
la,w-defying? A, great and determined
effort to stop the desecration of the Sab-,
bath is now being made in New York.
and is it not time for our citizens to move
in the matter. We have now the trnfiic
in “liquid fire and distilled damuation”‘
in full operation, and drunkards are recl-
ing t.hrough our streets daily. The St0I‘€S
where two of the wofst places are kept
are said to be owned by two of our most
respectable, and,'in every other respect,
worthy citizens, and yet they are witnes-
ses every day that _ their tenements are
but“ recruiting rendezvous ‘of Izell,” a
how they can consent for a. single da.y ,to
be so nearly implicated in this terrible
traffic as to permit it to be carried on in
their own buildings, and monthly or quar-
terly rcceivc a. portion of the ' wages of
iniquity for the use, of the same is for
them to explain to an injured community,
and for which they must give account
one day to the great J udgc of all. There
are other places whose half-opcu shutters
mistakeablc evidence that the work of
destruction is going on every Sabbatli as
extensively as on other days. Who will
move in the matter aud_ inaugurate the
r_cform. It is evident, sir, that some-
thing must be done. We are urged to
be up and doing lest a great influx of
crime should_ overwhelm in utter ruin,
multitudes of our most promising young
men, and by a rapid career first in the
Dancing School——thcn in the Billiard
Saloon, either at the public or more so-
lcct f.ables——thcn in the Gambling Hells,
all these downward steps conccntratc,and .
reach their climax, and thus the once
moral and beloved becomes the demon,
and cxpiales a life of crime injtbc cell of
the felon and the gallows, or lingers out
a miserable lif'c, tho disgrace and -loath-
ing of all who know him. Unless some-
thing is done such will be the destiny of
many in our comr_nunit_v, and such is the
potent argument for all friends of virtue,
morality, and law to bcstir themselves
in the good work proposed. “ S ”
@‘ All that our correspondent asserts is

there is the rub. No one has the courage to

The Ball of the 22d.
Acting in part. upon our suggestion, the
Committee of Arrangements, who have in
contemplation the “ Washington's Birth Day
Ball” have most cheerfully assented to making
it a benefit all‘air,and have appointed :1 Com-
mittee of citizens to disburse the surplusfunds,
and also to solicit, from our citizens general-
ly the gift of any article of use to the poor,
to be dispensed at the same time. We have
received the following communication on the
subject :
NomvA.i.1<, Feb. 13th, 1858.
D1=:.\R‘Sm :—In your Paper of the 9th,
I notice a suggestion to the Boys, (as they
are termed) that they add the “Calico”
feature to their Ball on the 22d. This
would be objectionable, as the proposed
“Calico Arrangement” had its origin from
other “Quarters,” but on proposing that
our surplus funds be devoted to charita-
ble purposcs, it met with unanimous con-
sent, and at a. recent meeting pf the gene-
ral Committe, a Committee of Citizens
was appointed to receive donations for
charitable -purposcs,and apply them where
most needed, and I trust that the said
Committee will exert themselves, and en-
dcavor to have their contributions some-
thing worthy of the object. The Com-

New H.-\vu.\r, Feb. lllth, 1858.
Before thi-: _vou ll1l\’ellOl|l)fl(‘.'~‘.S l‘.(‘l]l‘fI
of the uffray between students and lirc- I
men, which occurred here on 'l‘ucs:duy.-——
AS mm-1.-,7 every paper has published a
different account, probably few know the
facts of the fight, or on which side the
blame rests. On High-st., immediately
back of the College buildings is the
house of Engine Company, N0. 3- Tl‘?
members of this company for the past
two weeks have insulted, by word and
deed, a band of students of the Junior
Class, who board next door. No atten-
tion has been paid to them, and on MOD-
-day of this week, several of t.hc firemen
came out challenging -the students t0
fight. This was unnoticed, except by
the cry of “dry up.” Shortly after as
one of the students was passing the eu-
ginc house, one of the firemen Came OM
and threw a bucket of water over him.
Still the class had not determined to at-
tempt any punishment of their assailaiits.
But on Tuesday evening as the students
were proceeding from their eating house
-to the College, singing C0ll°P-'9 S”“i=’3iv "‘
accordance with a universal College cus-
tom, several firemen crossed from their
Engine house to the opposite part of‘ the
street, and stopping the baud, entered
into a conversation withthcm about their
difiicultics. The leader of the firemen
who had a trumpet in his hand, appeared
friendly, and assented to a remark of’ a
student, that “ as long as‘ they did
nothing but sing, the firemen ought not
to trouble them.” But,’about this time’,
according to a precouccrted plan, firemen
having assembled from various directions
and surrounded the students, who were
only about 30.stroug, the leader suddenly
changed his tone, and turning to his men.
cried, “ Now, boys, we’re enough for ’cm,
G—d d—n ’cm,',givc it to them.” At
the same time raising his licavy trumpet
he aimed a deadly blow_ at the head of
the student he had just been talking with.
The student warded it oil‘ with his arm,
and another \vreuched the trumpet from
the hand of the fireman. ’ The fight now
became general,‘ ‘and just as the leader
was knocking down :1. student. with a
wrench, he received a shot, which outcr-
ing the hip, passed through the bone into
the abdomen, and has since proved fatal.
The firemen finding that the students,
though few in numbers, were prepared
for them, retreated, and sending out men
raised thccry of “Fire.” The students
then raised their well known rallying
cry, “ Yale, Yale,” which was instantly
responded to,‘ and an immense crowd of
students, armed with every conceivable
kind of weapon, rushed to the rcscue.—
Three or four dill'ereutEngine Companies
turned out to the assistance of N o. 2, and
for a. time auothcr struggle seemed inevi-
table. But the attention of the firemen
was taken up for a time with their woun-
dad, and the students retired to the front
of the Lyceum. Here a la.rge and excl-
ted crowd waited for further demonstra-
tions from thcirenemy. Atlast, by stren-
uous eflbrts of the F'acult._v, they were in-
duccd to retire t.o their rooms. Rumors
were afloat that the firemen were about
to attack the College, which would prob-
ably have proved true but for the excr-
tious of the Chiefs of Police and Fire
Department. As it was, all Yale was on
guard during Tuesday night. Yesterday
an examination was commenced, which,
as far as it was carried, tended to prove
the blame of the firemen. The wounded
man cxpircd‘t-his morning. It is said he
told'his surgeon that “ he deserved to
have been shot, ‘that if he had been shot
in the legs he would have thoughtit right,
but he did not wish to diequitc yet/’~—
His death, and the cause of it, arc'rc-
grettcd as much by students as others.
The excitement still continues. The stu-
dents were collected in North-Middle Col-
lege, last night, anticipating an attack.——
The night. passed, however, without any
special disturbance. The Company have
their flag at half-mast, and, it is said, are
preparing to make an at.tn.ck to-night.-—
It was threatened ycstcrdu y if the woun-
dcd man died that the College buildings
would be torn down. But no great
trouble is anticipated at present. The.
students have in their possession the
trumpet, and u fu'eman's but, which they
retain as trophies. They will, of course,
be returned at the proper time. C.

had just dropped in for a. few minules’

confined there felt their degradation, or
considered their confinement as any pun-
ishmcnt. Not even those who, in a few
days, will be compelled to “serve their
country” for a time at ‘(\’ct.l1ci'.-fichl for
their.misdemeanors, were an cxccplion-—
They were congi'cg'at.c<l around the stoves
playing cards, smoking sv.'ea1'ing, and
blackguarding. One elderly g(:'llilBnltl-ll
was marching up and down, playing
Yankee Doodle and some old-fzrsliioucd
“general training tunes,” on a cracked
life, and others would accompany him, by
whistling ; others would fall into the line,
fog-miuga perfect “ bare,-footed company.”
There are some who have comitted petty
crimes for the purpose of getting a home
in the institution, where they havca bcd,
fire, and food, at the cxpcnscof the coun-

more should be done than merely putting
them inside the building, wlicrc they may
go around with a perfect f'rccdom,amoug
each other ’l‘hcy should be made to
feel their imprisonment, bcin_;,»~ co.2fiued in

as agreeable for thirty or sixty days.-—
At. present they don’t feel punishcdat all.
