that the laws of: Alabama did not allow
him to emancipate her without sending

present with him that vision of going to

time-slipped away without his taking any

was too late. Immersed in debt as he

of anything without consent of creditors;

advanced, but has never changed. Meas-

has gone forward to the achievement of

Our Representative lf|.,,_lllS letter to the

topics. His letter referred wholly to the
alleged extravagance of theflepublicans in
Connecticut. The idea, of course, is that

He don’t attempt to show how the re-

you shall be accommodated. The subject
is one which the Republicans desire to
have investigated.
ine the matter fully. They will find that
the expenses have increased largely dur-
ing the last four years, and that both par-
ties are responsible for this increase. 'l‘hey
will find further that in 1857, the ex-
penses of the State. were $271,370,
against $57-'l,'ll1 in 1856. A further
reduction has.been made the present year,
but as the accounts are not tnade up un-
til the 3lst of March, the exact amount
amount cannot be given; A reducf_ion ‘of
some $10,000 is expected. This shows
shows that before the Buchanan men cou-
eeived the idea of making political capi-
tal out of this matter, the opposition had
begun the work of retrenchment. Dur-
ing the last two years the expenses have
been considerably lessened, and during the
last or rather the present year, $35,000
of the State Debt, has been, or is to be
olf‘. So says the Comptroller.
But during the four years since. 1854,
the expenses have been some $485,000
more than during the preceding four years.
This is ti ac, and the people can see how
this increase has been occasioned, and
on whom the responsibility must full.——-
Take the item of military expenses. Mr.
Bishop in his boyish letter says flint “ we
have no army to support.” 'I‘rue, but we
spend a good deal of money to keep up
the semblance of a military array. In
1554 the military expenses of this State
were $4,951. Thenext year they went
up to nearly $20,000, and during the last
four years they have been about $l08,-
000. So states the Hartford Press, taking
its figures from the official records. Here
is a vast increase. How has it been
caused? In 1853, a committee was ap-
pointed by Governor Seymour (he isn't
a Black Republican-Governor Seymour
isn’t,) to revise our military laws and re-
commend a new system. Fit-e of the
seven men were Democrats so called.-
which was authorized by the Legislature
of 1854, having been warmly advocated
by leading men of both parties. Hence
comes au increased expense of over "$100-
000 in _ the course of four years. Aside
from this, the account of the Quarter
Muster General went from SL254 in 1854
to $5,331, in 1855, and was ,abc.ut $4,000
in each of the succeeding years.’ .
Now, if the people of Connecticut don’t
want their militia organized at such ex-
pense, they can so, and do away with the
whole organization. If a measure got up
‘under sham Democratic auspices and cost-
ing the State a large sum, is to be charged
to Black Republican extravagance——we

Again, *.he.judiciary expenses show‘ a
great increase. Drying the first period
of four years ;they were $I5I,058-dnr-
ing the last ‘period ending with 1857,
they were $280,667. The new judiciary
system went, into effect in 1855. The ex-
penses that yearwere $6'i,l88,—in 1856,
$7’l,188~—and in 1857, $81,261. A great-
iucrcase from 1853, when they were $44,-
035. Both parties concurred in estab-
lishing the new system. It was not then
regarded as a party measure, and nobotly
now proposes a repeal. Ithas, however,
greatly increased our court cxpenses.—-
Thc people——both parties, desired a
changc that in time, would give a, more
speedy administration of justice. Adtli
tional judges were ‘appointed, and the
salaries of the other judges were raised.
'l‘ho courts have been almost continuously
in session, for the purpose of clearing the
tlockets. ‘l\'IlIt.flI has been done, and the
prospect is that eventually, the expecta-
tions of the public will be realized and
the dtlay of justice prevented. Just at
present, the new system is far more ex-
pensive thnn the old one. In time, when
the load of eourt_ basins. less;-uctl, the
, expenses may be di_ninishe.I. The new
arraii gment received the support of both
parties, in and out of the Ifcgislattit'e.—
It was in no respect a p.irty inc;tsure, and
two of the f0‘.Il' Judges whose appoint-
ment l)cc.une necessary, were tak€n.'fi-om
one side. and two from the other. What
sense or reason can there be, in talking of
“ It’.epzlhllc.1-n cxtrnzmgtz-nce" in connection
with this matter?
Again, under the ltcall of “ Public: In-
slilulimis, Bzlilzling G'rants and ('harit{c.-,”
we find that the expenditures during the
four years coininenciug with 1850 were
$80 , 25'?‘--during the succeeding four
ycar;-', $‘239,‘26~—an' excess of about $250-.
000. A large portion of this cxcrss has
gone to the Reform School. This Insti-
tution was got. up while the Sham Dem-
ocrats were in power, and was recomeud-
ed by Govcrnoriseyuiour. The first bill
was passed in l85l——fhe'second in 1852’

Wigsri-our, Mr.rcli7f‘3, 1350. '
Massns.' Emrons :
A We have been read-
ing an old do.-uinent written somewhere
about A. D., 1776, styled, A Declara-
tion of Independence. N ow sirs, I have
great reverence for that ancient document
and also for the men who framed it.-—
W e like the principles contained therein,
and which those men promulgated as the
basis of their actions, and which must be
considered as the only correct definition’
of pure American Democracy and Repub-
licanism. - That all men are created free
and equal, entlowetl by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights, such as life,
libert_v»and the pursuit of liappiness, that
governments should derive their powers
from the governed, that the people are
the sovereigns,and the rulers the servants
thereof. -In fact, Popular Soi-crcig-ntg/.--
If there was one principle above every
other, which the framers of the govern-
ment sought to_cherish and protect, it
was that of the actual and complete sov-
ereignty of the people. Is the Democra-
cy of the presenbday the same as that of
our fathers? Are we progressing in the
cause of liberty and self-government ?——
One thing is eertain—wo live in an age
of Quacliery. We have quack doctors,
we have quack religions, and we have
quack statesmen and politicians, and we
have a quack medicine labelled “ Democ-
racy,” but which contains hardly a drop
of the real stuff. 'ct there is a large
class'of voters who examine nothing but
the label, and then swallow ' . Now in
order to warn all people against" fraud
and imposition of this kind, we would re-
fer him to the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, to Wcbster’s Dictionary, (tinn-
bridged,) and to the writings of Thomas
Jeff‘:-rson and James Madison. By put‘-
suing the above course they will uscer,
tain what real ‘Democracy is, and will
come to the inevitable conclusion that the
article of that name, now extant, has
been, like many other things of the pres-
ent day, sadly adulterated. In the pres-
eat Democracy as expounded, and recom-
mended by Mr. Buchanan and other lead-
ers of that party, will be found. .to exist
the following ingredients, to wit: Cen-
tralizationism, Favoritism. Cubaism, Cor-
ruptionism, Partisanism, Lecomptonism,
N iggerisin, or niggers for the niggerless,
and Disunionism.
“ Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue uf dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
I.i7.ard’s leg, owl:-t’a wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth, boil and bubble.”
The ptople have not forgotten that
Mr. Buchanan tried his best to f'orce the
nauseous dose of Lecompton down the un-
willing thrcats of the people of Kansas.
Indeed, they hold in especial remem-
brance the action of one Bishop in that
.qu_ack church of thbSham Democracy, in
"behalf of that object.
Mr. R. H. Winslow, the individual
who recently moved into the State from
New York, and bought the Democratic
nomination for Lieutenant Governor, for
which nomination his partizan friends
boast he agreed to.“ come down” to the
amount of $5,000, is about to make his
first installment ; upwards of forty ‘Irish-
men from this place are going to Bridge-.
port or New Haven in a few days to be
made voters. According to their own
testimony, Winslow is to pay all their ex-
penses. It is understoodthat the $3,000
is to be expended in this way, in Bridge-
port and other towns, comprising this
congressional district, and it is already on
the programme. that in consideration-
of the material aid _furui'.~hed Bishop,
Winslow is néxt year to receive the nomi-
nation for Governor. Winslow has gone
into Connecticut politics in earnest, just
as he would into a Wall Street specula-
tion. Hc has taken quite a large share
of locofoco_ scrip, and if it does not final-
ly yield him a profit, it will be through
no lack of furnishing corruption funds on
his part. The Farmer has lately been
indulging in its aecustomedBillingsgate on
personal character. Now, would it not
be Well for that. moral sheet to remember
“that people who live in glass houses
must be careful how they throw stones.”
Are not the two principle candidates on-
their State ticket at little shaky on the
“ great moral question ?" L.
