- The Republican _ Candidates.
“Tc notice in the Smmford Ad-cocalc of
last week, an exceedingly scurrilous at-
tack upon the Republican Caudidates for
Sec1'etnry and Controller. It has been
no part of our purpose to notice the cr-
ratic coursc which that journal has seen
fit to pursue for the past few wecks.——-
Its open declaration, in the article above
referr..d to, that it would sooner give the
State to the Sham Democratic Lecomp-
ton Swindle and all, than vote for the
Republican Candidates for two of the mi-
nor oliices on the State Ticket, shows
pretty conclusively whither it is tending.
The charges which it has made’ against
Messrs. Boyd and Bucll are simply false,
as every one acquainted with the recent
course of political affairs wcll knows.
Asfto Messrs. Peck and Harrison, had
they been nominated by the regular Con-
vention of the opposition in this State,
we should cheerfully have voted for them.
Unlilic the ./lclcocatc, we would vote for
them now, rather than give up the State
to the sway of Sham Democracy. But
they are put forward by a few bolters, in
opposition to the regular ticket. They
have hot a single reconuncndatiou which
the 1'e'gula1‘ candidates do not pOSSCSS.——
By niisreprescntation and inad vertcnce
they may obtain a. few thousand votes in
the State and thus send the election of
Messrs Boyd and Buell into the Legisla-
ture. ; 1 ' ' '
‘ Wei trust that every voter who hates
Lecompton frauds and outrages will see
that his ballot is headed “Republican
Tickell,”so that Connecticut may show no
divided front in the present unparalleled‘
condition of public affairs.

'1”-he Duty of ‘Voting.
Reader, are youan Elector? Have
you been too busy, in time: past, to (lg-
posit your ballot? Are you too much
occupied in other matters now, to permit
yourself to think of your obligations as
a citizen ?
Stop, then, a moment, and reflect that
to provide for your family, to be kind to
your neighbor, to be 1'evc1‘cut towu1‘d
God~—diffc1'iug, indeed, from these, in
degree, but still ranking in the broad
scale of Dcrv.
Reflect, too, that not to vote now, is to
acquiesce in all the violence, the fraud,
the fo1'gc':y, the iniquity of the Luoo.\u---
rorv scheme ; a scheme more fraught with
injustice toward man, and insult to God,
than any that has ever disgraced this
nation.
We have seen men that were too good
Clzristlu-ns to vote, and so yielded up the
ndministrnlion of public affairs, for which,
in this Republic, 1/ze-_y were equally res-
ponsible before God and man, with every
other portion of the community, to the.
vile, the selfish, and the unprincipled.
We ask such to consider, at this t.lme,

them :

MONEY FOR THECONN. ELECTION
A Wu.-Jiiugton letter to the ]I(1.)'Zfo7'(l
Courarnt, announces the fact that already
the “ ixcise Men" have been around
among the Clerks in the several Depart-
meuts, levying contributions in aid of a

to the Lecompton l"illaia2«_1/ I He says :
But what an outrage upon every re-
publican principle, to demand money of
the Government clerks to influence an
election l And it must come a little
tough for many of them who have fumi-
lics to provide, and are getting small sal-
aries. I pity the poor unfortunate soul,
whose spirit is so broken, or whose cir-
cumstances are so straitcned that he will
not resent such~au insult. Here is a lit-
tle of the “ crus/z.z'ug oul,” of our new
plantation Lecompton Dcniocmcy.
They are playing a desperate game,
and are ready for desperate measu1'cs.—--
So look well to your ballot boxes and the
voting. They mean f__to beat you in vo-

1;§;§“= The members of Congress from
New Hampshire complain that the doc-
uments which they have sent by mail to
N ew Hampshire, previous to the election
have not reached their destination. Pos-
sibly it may be a pet doctrine of the
Sliamocrucy to plunder the mails. All
“Abolition” documents are confiscated
at tl1c South ; probably “Black Repub-
lican” documents are to be confiscated at
the North.
L;@ We do not profess to be in the

we do know that our subscribers have
been most outrageously annoyed and ill-

seems to be some especial spite against
the Gazette among the three cent Post-
Masters of some of the adjoining towns.
A very great number of subscribers with-
in the last two months have had to have
their papers discontinued from the mails
and sent by private sources. Is it a
part of the Lecompton programme?

Business Improving.
Our streets which had so long looked descr-
ted have again put on their wontcd air ofbusy
life and the din of carts and rattle of feet and
hoofs on a Tuesday or Saturday indicate too
clearly for mistake that the world moves and
that old -Norwalk has got around again to a-
bout where the panic found her. The elonga-
ted visuges of our business men have changed
lo woutcd cheerfulucss. Then our Sloops,
which indicate the business health as unmis-
takably as the pulse does the physical, go and
come ladcuc-l as of yore with goods and lab-
rics identified with our village thrift and pros-
perity. As we see the mauufacturer’s wagon
and the faimcr and business man's vehicles
passing to and from neighbor Sellcck’s dock,
we often think how little do we appreciate
the advantages to our town of the facilities
fhus afforded us by his packet line.

n@“’ The Election in this State will
take place in a few days. the time for
preparation is very short, and the few
days that intervene should be well im-
proved. But what is to be done? In
the first place it is the duty of every man
who can do so to set forth the “facts in
the case,” and make it clear what the
true issue of the election is. Let it be
distinctly known what we are to vote for
this Spring. This is the best way to se-
cure success. Do not permit our oppo-
ucnls to raise false issues, and thus blind
the eyes of the people. They are at-
tci1ij)f.ilfg7to do it, and will do it if possi-
blo. Be on your guard against it. An-
other thing to be done is to take a care-
ful survcy of your town, and find out
those who from physical or other causes
may be induced to stay away from the
polls. Make efforts to get every man out,
for a full vote is generally a safe vote ;
and a conuuittce should be appointed in
every town with means at their disposal
to aid voters in getting to the polls.

would be shouted, and the “Black Re-
publicans” be charged with a desire to
make political capital. Thus the matter
rested, frompday to day, and the evil in-
creased, uutil it became truly alarming
so much so, that when the “ Gentleman
from Darieu” Esquire Roberts himself,
a “ Democratic” politician, and the act-
ing Selectman of the town, one day, in
the setting-room of the Railroad Depot,
boldly declared that such nuisances ought
to be abated, and that if a complaint
was made to him, he would not shrink
from doing his duty as a Magistrate.—
This gave encouragement. A complaint
was drawn up charging one Samuel W.
Raymond, of having from October last,
to the date of the complaint, kept spirit-
uous and intoxicating liquors, with in-
tent to sell the same, in violation of the
statute laws of this State. ’l‘hc. com-
plaiut contained all the necessary legal
avermcnts, was signed by the Grand Ju-
rymau and presented to Justice Roberts.
The J usticc expressed his satisfaction
with this initiatory step, issued a warrant
commanding the Sheriff, his Deputy, or
the constable of Darien, to a rrest the ac-
cuscd and bring him forthwith before
him, at the Lecture Room in said Duri-
eu, to answer to the allegations in said
complaint. The constable was sought
for, but the gentleman having the war-
rautqin charge, learning that by some
“accident” that official was “swamped”
and unfit for duty, repaired to Norwalk,
and placed it in the hands of Deputy‘
Sheriff Lamb. The Sheriff critically ex-
amined the document, and on finding the
. name of “ lVal/um Roberts, .'Iu.stz'ce of the
Peace,” attached thereto, exclaimed, “all
right, I’ll.atteud to it,” or words to same
effect. The Deputy hastened over here
——arrested the accused—took him before
Esquire Roberts—prisoner plead not
-guilty and asked for an adjournment to
"enable him to procure counsel and pre-
pare for trial. The Justice in mercy
granted the request, and adjourned the
trial to the next day at 1 o’clock P. M.,
and remanded the prisoner into custody
of the Deputy to have him forthcoming
at the hour named. The Sheriff then
placed the accused in the hands of Capt.
Wm. Lockwood for safe keeping until
the hour of trial, and proceeded to sum-
mon some ten or twelve wituesse; to ap-
pear at the same time in support of the
.complaint. >
At the hour named, the prisoner and
wituessess attended as stated by H.—-
waited an hour or more but no Justice
or Sheriff appearing the crowd dispers-
ed. _
Where is Justice Roberts ?-—-Why
this “dodge” ‘l and where was Sheriff
Lamb and the process ‘.7
In answer to these interrogations, I
will give a few facts and let your readers
have their own conclusions.
Aftc1' Sheriff Lamb had concluded
summoning the witnesses, he returned to
N orwalk. ~Lockwood and the prison‘
er went over to Stamford and had an in-
terview with Judge J. H. Olmstead.——
,Thc result of that interview, of course I
know not, but this I know, that on the
same afternoon, this same Judge Olm-
stead, and his ready adviser Semllor J.
H. Hoyt were here, ncaruightfall, in the
vicinity of .Esquz're Robe;-ts. Soon after
they left_Da'ricu, and about nightfall, a
-son of the prisoner was despatchcd to
Norwalk with a letter to the Deputy
Sheriff. - The contents of that letter per-
haps the Deputy will furuish you on call
as he has communicated it to others.
It is also well known here, that Mr.
Roberts on Wednesday morning, (the
morning of the day _bcforo the trial) at
about '7 o’clock, got into the cars going
west, 'wil/zou.tpurcl1asi~ug (L ticlrct. Hith-
crtol1chadalOays been particular in
purchasing a ticket at the ofllce lJef'0l'0
taking the cars when intending to leave.
He left no wor(l,whcrc it could re uch the
witnesses, of his design to be absent, at
the hour of trial. His son was enquired
of {lb01ll3 one o’clock, who replied that his
father had gone to ,Stamford I This
gave encouragement that the Justice
would be‘ back on the 2 o'clock train to
attend the case and the witnesses tarricd,
the train arrived but no ’Squirc Roberts
with it. A person having business
with him as a Selectman called at
his house and was informed by Mrs.
Roberts, that her husband had gone
to StI17)1_forzl ! Several lingered about
the Depot until the next train from Slam-
ford should arrive, determined to ques-
tion the Justice us to the cause of this
“ dodge.” At 51,- P. M. the train came,
no person getting off upon the platform,
word was at once circulated “ he lnas’nt
come yet.” But, lo l when the train
moved off, there in the distance was the
veritable personage, who had been so
anxiously looked for all the afternoon,
trudging along through the mud, solitary
and alone, towards his residence-—he had

Norwa k, March 19th. 1858.
“ DEAR Sm,
Mr. S , your client called
the other evening and wished me to write
my reasons for not being present at the
trial, State vs. Raymond. I told him I
would do so, and would say that I re-
ceived beforc the time of trial a note
from Mr. J usticc Roberts that he had
unexpectedly been called away on urgent
business to New York——and could not
be present at the time set for trial, and
that there would be no necessity for my
coming over until further notice. The
Justice -did not state whether the case
was put off by adjournment or by agree-
ment, or how. rleceiving such a letter
from the court, I concluded it was not
best to travel to Darien in the mud for
nothing.
Yours truly,
H. Lamb.”

Anti-Lecompton Meeting in Hartford.
The Anti-Lecompton Democrats of
Hartford held a large and enthusiastic
meeting last night in the City Hall. The
hall was crowded, the large majority of
the audience being laboring mcu—“white
Slaves.” The meeting was organized by
the appointment of Julius L. Strong,
Chairm-.1.u, E. S. Cleveland, T. J. Keane,
D. D. Erving, James Ticruau, Calvin
Spencer and G. A. \Vright, Vice Presi-
dents, and J. J. Dimcock, J. R. Holcomb
and E. W. Williams, Secretaries.
Mr. Strong made a few effective re-
marks, declaring that when it is fairly
understood what the position of the ad-
ministration is on this Lecompton ques-
tion, there will not be a corporal’s guard
left in the North to support this infamy.
He then introduced Mr. J. McMasters,
of the Freeman’s Journal, who made a
very powerful speech against Lecompton.
He justified the position of VValkcr and
Douglas, and showed that no true Dem-
ocrat could support the iufamous meas-
ure which is now made a party test by
the administration.
,- Mr. E. S, Cleveland also addressed
the meeting with much earnestness
and ability. Resolutions were passed
una.nimously denouncing the action of
the pro—slavery majority in the U. S. Seu-
atc in voting to admit; Kansas under a
constitution that has been repudiated by
the people, declaring it neither wise nor
expedient nor possible to force such a con-
stitution upon un unwilling people, and
calling upon adopted citizens, by their
wrongs in other lands where liberty was
troddcn under foot by a central govern-
ment, to unite in defending popular lib-
erty, and one other which we give in full,
as follows :
1?csolre:l, That we will support no man
for the various offices in our State in the
coming election, who do not stand upon
the platform of self-government and the
rights of a people to form their own con-
stitution and make their own laws incon-
formity with the principles of republican
government, according to the true intent
and meaning of the constitution of the
United States, and who do not openly
and avowcdly oppose the Lecompton
swindle.
Julius L. Strong and James Tiernau,
were then nominated by acclamation as
the candidates of the Anti-Lecompton
Democrats of Hartford for Representa-
tives, and the meeting adjourned.

“How xnour Lnconrrox, GENERAL
Pnxrr '3” was the rcitu-ated question of
those who felt that the Lecompton Con-
stitption was or ouglu to be a proper test
designating the real from the sham de-
mocracy. To that question the response
was that he /lflfl thought the Kansas
and Nebraska not an unwise and impoli-
tic measure, though he never questioned
its jus/ire.’ “But how about Lecomp-
ton, General?” came up again the ghost-
ly question. “I will come to that pret-
ty soon,” said the G(‘n(I‘i1l. “I voted
against the Kansas and Nebraska bill.be-
causc I thought it calculated to stir up
the anti-slavery agitation. I. hop; you
understand me -now.” "We do under
staud all about that-—but we want to
know about Lecompton General. Are
you in favor of the Lecompton Constitu-
tion, of the Border Ruffians, General?”
“ O ! ah, gentlemen !——I am going to
that in one minute. Mr. Buchanan is a
noble man—-a glorious President. I have
always had the highest respect for him.

13%‘ The N. J. Herald (a Democratic
paper) talks out in this way. Its senti-
ments we bclieve are echoed by a majori-
ty of the party at the North and partic-
ularly at the North “Test. In the latter
region, nobody pretends to question that
the great mass of those who call them-
selves Dcznocrzzts oppose the Lecompton
project. I u this region the subsidized
party presses of course tell a different
story :
It has become a-settled matter, that
any Democrat, to retain any paltry office,
must shout for. Lecompton, and cringe at
the feet of the Administration. If this
be not making a test of Lecomptonism,
we know not the-meaning of plain signs.
But let the test he made l It has
no terrors for any democrat, who thinks
more of the integrity of the party, than
the spoils of ol‘fice——-and thank God. the
mass of the party have no aspirations for
office, and cannot therefore be corrupted
by oflicial patronage. They will uphold
the principles, that, the majority shall
rule, and that “governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the gov-
erned.” The Leccmptons will eventually
find themselves, left in a co utemptible
minority, despised and disowned by a be-
trayed and injured party.

awakening that is sweeping over the

correspondent of a Boston paper, is not
the least interesting: _
The work is marked by the great de-
sire for prayer. Some’ of the men in
New York who are now under the influ-
ence of this work, have been accustomed
to attend the Tammany Hall meetings;
and one of the small rooms in which the
meetings of wire-pulling?politicians meet,
has been long known aslthc “ coal hole.”
Some of those convertedmen not being
able to go out at the hour of 12 for the
-house of prayer, resolved.’ to hold one in
the store where they worked. So for
want of a better place, at the time they
were allowed to take their noouing, some
dozen of them went for prayer under the
sidewalk. In other words they met,
and still meet daily for prayer at 12
o’clock in the literal coal hole.
