1860.

The next Presidential election bids fair to
surpass all that have preceded it, in the car-
nestness of the contest, and in the possible
consequences which may ﬂow from the result.
There is no doubt that a great majority of
the American people is heartily disgusted
with the dynasty which has ruled the country
since the close of the Administration of Mn.
FILLnous. The Tariff and Loan Bills, the
Nebraska , Lecompton and English bills, the
enormous increase in the public cxpcndi tur es,
the vast addition to the public debt, the cor-
ruption so generally attributed to public of-
ﬁcers, even to those in very high places, and
so generally believed to exist by men of all
parties, have produced a wide-spread impres-
sion among sensible and conservative men
that the time has arrived when it. is necessary
to the well-being of the Republic that athor—
ongh change should be made in the Adminis—
tration of the government. So well, indeed,
is this feeling understood, that superﬁcial ob-
servers have imagined the defeat of the
present dynasty, in the fallof 1860, to be an
already foregone conclusion. Be sides advert-
ing to the present general discontent with
the measures just mentioned, they point exul-
tingly to the dissensions among the Demo-
cratic leaders, and insist that, from the na-
ture of the case, those dissensions are incura-
ble and must result in an easy triumph to
the opposition. If the leaders of the Demo-

cratic party were governed by principle,
such anticipations might be realized. But
those, who indulge in them, forget that
the horde of office-holders and the count-
less committees, National, State and Dis-
trict, which do the thinking for the
Democratic party, are not controlled by

any principle except the determination to
maintain their hold upon the revenues of the
government to the enriching of themselves,
their connections, and their parasites. The
mass of the democratic party, like that of all

- parties,is honest, but under the iron disci-
pline of their political organization, they are
not permitted to think for themselves,but only
to register their votes as their leaders and
committee men think best. There are thous-
ands of that party in Connecticut, who ten
years ago would have scouted with indigna-
tion the project of repealing"! the Missouri

3' Compromise or of establishing slavery by ju-
dicial decision in all the territories ofthe Re-
public. .Now, not one of these thousands
dares murmur at these enormitie s, for the
LEADERS have endorsed them by conventions,

' and Resolutions,and to whisper dissent is met
with the swift penalty of excommunication
from the party fold. And as the masses of
that organization have done in times past,
so will they do in the future ; they have been
required to surrender thal liberty of thought
and freedom of speech which are the dearest
birthright of American citizens. to secure the
triumph of the rsnrv, and we have little
hope of their restoration to the manliness of
independent action. There willdoubtless be
some honorablcexceptions,but only enough
to establish the rule.

This question, then is resolved into this:
will the Democratic leaders continue their
quarrel through the campaign of 1860. We
answer, without hesitation, they will not.—

' Their whole past history ,their whole present
character, repels the idea. They are not
really quarreling about principles now ; but
only about which of them, with-his corps of
partisans, shall have the grasping of the odi-

vcesand the public monies during the next
four years. These differences will all be set-
tled when the Charleston Convention shall
have done its work. The disappointed aspi-
rants will hide their disappointment. and seek
for themselves and their followers only their
shares of the spoils of battle. The party will
be a unit. Promises will be broken, profes-
sions swallowed,priuciples abandoned, and
the masses called upon, in the name of De-
mocracy, to_do the bidding of men who have
cheated them a hundred times,and who intend
to cheat them a hundred times again.

,_ Let Republicans then regard it as already

:; settled that to carry the next presidential
election, they have got to overthrow a uni-
ted party.strong in numbers, in discipline,
in the possession of the odices and emolu-
ments of the government, and almost equally
strong in all the long-used artsof corruption,
falsehood and fraud. And to,- this strength
is to be added the terrible power of the slave-
.hoiding interest—can interest possessing
$2500,000,000 of capital, and intensely hos-
tile to eqerythiug that is essential in our
ideas ofAmiarican liberty . All this is to be
arrayed on the side of the Democracy in the

contest of 1860.

With such an alliance against us, what are
we to do ? Shall we quarrel about words ?—
Shall we splithairs about names? Shall we
suffer repugnancc to particular men to on t-
weigh all other considerations? We verily
believe that the greatest practical good of
the Republic, nay more, the highest hope for
the welfare of the country and the perpetui-
ty ofanythiug more than the name of freein-
stitutions are dependent upon the defeat of
the nominees of the Charleston Convention
in 1860. Shall we endanger this good; shall
we frustrate this hope, because we think
that there are special objects which ought

-to be put in thelist of things desirable ‘2—

To rescue the government from the folds of

corruption which are strangling out its life,

to lift up American industry from its subser-
viency to foreign capital, to build up the

' great Rai'rond connection between the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific, to provide a homestead up-
on the public domain for every industrious
citizen who is willing to occupy and cul-
tivate the same, to put a stop to the
extension of human bondage, to prevent
the re-opening of the slave trade, to check
the spirit of forcible aggrandizement, and
lawless conquest, to make one nxrrsn effort
for the restoration to supremacy in the Re-
public of the principles on which the Fathers
founded it, are not these objects sufficiently
noble to awake all our enthusiasm, inspire
all our efforts and lead us forward to assured
triumph?

The Oﬁcera’ Drill.

The Drill of the Commissioned Officers of
the State,which commenced Tuesday morning
1 closed on Thursday at six o’clock, P. M.
0 be 186 officers warned for the drill, about
160 were in attedance. Lieuts. Husc and
Webb, of the U. S. Army,Assistant Professors
at the West Point Academy,were the Instruc-
tors, aud they applied themselves to their vol-
unteer duty with a patience,assiduity and effi-
ciency which not only won the admira-
tion of the State officers, but which taught
them more thorougly than they had ever been
taught before. The duties of the camp were
very severe. The officers being obliged to
act as privates,were subject to a drill which
kept them in active duty through the night
and day,laboring under a hot sun. or in the
damp of a Hartford night, to accomplish them-
selves in the dutiesﬁof a soldier.

Thursday afternoon, a review was given to
Lt. Gov. Catlin, who, in the abscence of Gov.
Buckingham is Executive of the State. The
Governor made a very handsome speech, ex-
pressing his gratiﬁcation at the operations of
Drill and saying that he believed the feeling
of hotility to the militia would and should be
crushed out as was the similar hostility to
the National Academy pt West Point. After
his speech, Maj.Gen. Guyer suggested to the
ofﬁcers that Gov.Catlin had saved the oﬂicers’
Drill from death, by casting his vote, and the
officers and the spectators united in a hearty
roundof applause for his Excellency. In ev-
ery respect the Camp was orderly and well
conducted. The only episode hinting toward
irregularity was a mock funeral of Brig. Gen.
Elihu Geer (who was absent from the drill,and
who is very unpopular) by the oﬁicers of his
own Brigade.

During the Drill prayers were said every
evening after Dress Parade by the Rev. Mr.
Fisher, of Hartford. The ' Camp broke up
with three most enthusiastic cheers for Major
'General Guyer, and with a complimentary
serenade to him,and to Lieuts Hose and Webb
the Instructors.

We think our friends of the Hartford
Press have unintentionally done injustice to
the officers in command, and particularly to
Major General Guyer, in its Friday’s issu e.—
The offences against law and morals of which
it speaks, were promptly abated by order of
the Commanding oﬂlcer upon the first intima-
tion of their existence, as we are informed
upon unquestionable authority. .

“The Bishop’s Fund of Connecticut is,

heretofore made by the State of Connecticut
to the Protestant Episcopalians of the State.
The various denominations made such use as

Episcopalians used their share as a basis for
a fund to pay the salary of the Bishops. May
lst, 1859, the fund consisted of 50 shares of

American Association.

The 13th Annual Meeting of the American

Association for the Advancement of Science,

met at Springﬁeld on Wednesday. One hun-

dred members were present at the opening
and among them, the most distinguished Pro-

fessors from the various Colleges.

A paper was read by Prof. Henry of the

Smithsonian Institute, upon Meteorology.—

The moving power in meteorology was the

sun. It was originally supposed that the

currents of air flowed from the equator to the

poles, but that could not be true ; on account

of the convergence of the meridians, there

was not room at the poles for the air. There
were middle systems or intermediate currents
of air.

The cause of the fitful disturbance of the
atmosphere was owing to the conversion of
water into vapor. During a single shower on
amount of water fell upon the Smithsonian
Institute building equal to 20,000 horse power
an hour ; or the heat necessary to evaporate
it would be equal to that necessary for work-
ing. an engine of twenty thousand horse pow-
er one hour. Another cause of disturbance
was the motion of the earth upon its axis.—
Observations made tended to show a series of
currents completely around the earth, north
and south of the equator, also in the temper-
ate latitudes and in the Arctic circles. The
calms at the equator, it was shown, were
caused by the upward currents of the air—
currents coming from north and south and ri-
sing over the equator, under the inﬂuence of

heat.

When Prof. Henry took his seat, an n nex.
pected breeze sprung up, which is thus repor-
ted iu the Republican .-

Judge Butler of Norwalk, Conn., said that
he wanted discussion upon this subject, and
discussion must be had. He knew where he
was—the time and place—but although he
was in the presence of high authority. that
should not deter him from speaking his mind.
The views presented were all wrong; they
were more theories—snppositions unsupported
by facts. He would give $60 a cloud for ev-
ery cloud originating and moving under the
circumstances and conditions named by Prof.
Henry;

Prof. Loomis—Will the gentleman please
make that statement again.for I am ready
for a speculation 2 (Laughton)

Judge Butler resumed, re-asserting that the
statements were not supported by facts. He
was a plain man—not a scientiﬁc man. al-
though he had written a book upon the phil-
osophy of the weather, for which he had been
invited to join the association, but he had
found it to be a mutual admiration society.—
(The' chairman, Capt. Hunt. reminded him
that the subject under discussion was meteor-
ology.) He knew it, and intended to discuss
it at the proper time and place, and say what
he thought.

Prof. Henry said that the position assumed
by his friend reminded him of a man who
went into court and declared that the judge
and jury were out of their wits, but upon com-
ing to his senses, he discovered that he was
the o'ne who was out of'his head. (Laughton)
He would say, however, that he had read
Judge Butler’s book with much pleasure and
proﬁt, and he accepted its facts as conﬁrma-
tory of the views which he had presented to

Mussus. Enr'rous :—After several years absence we 0
again at Saratoga, in the very midst of the greats
crawd of visitors ever known at this place, and thin
ing perhaps n. short sketch of the sayings and doing
might possibly interest some of your readers, who like
your senior self, are prevented participating this yem'.
will jot down such “items” as we have gathered at“
observed in our rapid turn about town. In the ﬁn, \
p'ncc Sarntoga has greatly improved, both in Hotel en,
largements and in the erection of new stores and retail
denees during the past few years, adding much to tho\
beauty of the place and to the comfort of those visitors ,
obliged to “lodge out.”
The number of visitors this year exceed any former
year, and the cry abroad is that Saratoga is full, but
this is an error, for Saratoga (like the good “ old _
times” Alderman who, on being requested to ask a .
blessing, said “ we thank thee, 0 Lord, for the good
dinner set before us, and for our capacity to enjoy it,”)
is never full, but expands as the inside pressure iu‘
creases, and there is always room for “ a few more of
the same sort. 7’ It really seems as if the place must be
of the “ rubber” order, its expansive powers being im-
mense. Many of the visitors to the Springs have also
enormous “ capacity” and power of expansion equal
almost to Saratoga itself, for to an unprncticed eye it
seems hardly possible that the human system could
contain the quantity of ” Spring Waters” some of the
visitors swallow. As an illustration of the quantity
some imbibe, we will give you the beneﬁt of an affair
that came off last week at the Hotel, which
shows, though in somewhat strong light, What is going
on and down here. Among the guests at the House ir'r
question are numerous clerical brethren,mnny of whom
were sent by the kind aid of some few of their charge,
to try and regain health which has been impaired by
severe labor and poor living. Such persons usually
feel exceedingly anxious to get well in ”.2 shortest
possible time, and, of course, at the least possible ex-
pense, consequently they go the Spring water “ blind”
and the quantity they manage to pour down their
throats is certainly astonishing. Among this class
were brother B. and brother G., both of' whom drank
from dewy morn to late gas-light, and speculation run
high among the guests as to which was the greatest
guzler. Some “ old settler” among the guests thought
to have a little sport out of it, and hit upon a plan
which worked to their entire satisfaction. It was
judged and correctly too, it proved, that brother B. was
the largest drinker, consequently they had a side meet-
ing in the parlor, and invited brother G. to attend.—
They then in a very serious manner asked him if he did
not think that brother B. was doing himself injury by
the large quantity of water he was drinking, and pro-
posed that be (brother G.) should remonstrnte with
him and try and induce him to be more temperate.—
Brother G. consented, and in a few minutes had an op-
portunity to act upon his mission, as brother B. oppor-
tunely came in, when the following cenversation took
place : brother B. commenced by saying 2—“ Brother
11-, your friends as well as myself thinkthat instead of
beneﬁting your health you are injuring it by the large
quantity you are drinking, and have requested me an a
friend to remonstrate with you ; now tell me how
much water you drink in a day,” Brother B. replied
that as near as he could judge about ten gallons.—
“That’s too much” sgid brother 6 , “ let me advice
you when you get up tomorrow morning make a firm
resolve that you won’t drink but m'ne gallons, and then
keep your resolution ; the next day, llrmly determine
to drink only eight, and stick to it ; the next day, make
up your mind like a hero that you Won’t drink but
seven gallons, and that you may drink every day for I
do it myself and it won’t hurt any man." The “ old
uettlers” were suddenly obliged to slope to avoid an ex-
plosion when the two brothers started for the spring
on the seven gallon limit. ..

Tm: GREAT CRICKET MnrcrL—Excmxn vs.
AM r;ltch.-—All the arrangem cuts are at length
concluded in regard to the great match be-
tween England and America. The eleven of
England will arrive in this country the latter
part of next month, and the match against
the best twenty tv‘vo that the States can col-
lect together will be played on the St.
Georges ground, between the lat and 10th of
September. Part of the money has been for‘
worded to England to defray cxpenses,which
are_very great. It is inten to be an inter-
national game as much as possible. This
match will no doubt draw tens of thousands
of persons to Hoboken from all parts of the
Union, to witness the greatest game ever
played in this country. The Americans (or
rather the English cricketers in America)
are full of confidence, and ﬂatter themselves
that they can produce twenty-two in this
country who will successfully contend against
the All-England Eleven. We should inform
our readers that the eleven of England are
the best eleven of the many cricketers in that
country. and that during the cricket season,
these gentlemen travel from town to town,
and play against the best twenty-two that
town or club can produce, and such is their
wonderful skill that it is difﬁcult and almost
iinpoﬁsible for any twenty-two to win the
mate .

the repulsive power of the sun’s rays.

The Springﬁeld Republican which is rather
an irreverent paper, puts forth the following ,

“ A novel idea is entertained in astronimi-
cal circles, which will be startling to every
one. It is that of pricking the great comet,
so that he will carry up his tail. It is not yet
known with whom this brilliant idea originat-
ed, the author choosing f'or .the present to re-
main secret. Diagrams have been prepared,
in imitation of hair oil advertisements show-
ing the comet as originally seen, and others
exhibiting it, as it will appear after the sug-
gested alteration ; and it will he confessed by
every one to be a great improvement upon its
general appearance. We understand that the
experiment will be tried upon several smaller
comets before being performed upon the great
comet.”

ﬁWelﬁnd the following delicate and touch-
ing reference to the death of Isaac B. Smith
son of Judge S. Smith of Norwalk, and whose
remains were brought here for Sepulchre on
Tuesday last, among the Editorials of the
New York Traveller :—

The Late Isaac B. Smith.

In the necrology of the passing year, will
be found, enrolled, the name of one, unknown
to fame, and distinguished neither by the
statesrnan’s prefix, nor the mystic letters of
the unlearned savan. One, who ambitious
only to do his duty to his employer and his
fellow man,toiled patiently and perseveringly
day after day,and year afteryear,in the bum-
ble and unhonored, though responsible posi-
tion of clerk in a hotel; and al.hough no
“ storied urn, or animated bust,” may mark
the spot where he lies, cold in death, his in~
tegrity, his gentle and genial mirth, and his
intelligent and respectful demeanor, have
reared to his memory, in the hearts of'allwho
knew him, a monument, pure as friendship,
and lasting as life.
The subject of this memoir Isaac B. Surru,
was not great in th0sc political virtues. or
preeminent in those military qualities, which
entitle their possessor to the cold compliment
of a public grief; but he was, nevertheless,
gifted, in un eminet degree, with so many
noble and chivalrous characteristics, as to
demand at the hands of his friends, a more
marked recognition than the simple, though
sincere, tribute oi'a manly tear.
Endowed with a reﬁned and impulsive wit
he never shocked by vulgarity, or wounded
by a sarcasm.
“ Ofmanncrs gentle, of affections mild,
In wit, u mung—simplicity a child,"
he feared nothing but dishonor, and hated
nothing but deceit. And although his brief
journeyiugs through life have ever been in
public view, he never had but one detractor,
and only a single foe,—himself.
“ Though sprightly, gentle : though polite, sincere;
And only of himself a judge severe.”
He was arniable,but not to a fault : his gener-
osity wasjust, and discriminate; and although
truthful. he was neither captions nor presum-
mg.

'In appearance he was remarkable, and

archal beard.

In his business relations be was upright,
reliable, and correct ; and although his rela-
tives may claim a more natural sorrow, they
cannot feel a deeper grief than those with
whom his daily duties brought him in constant
contact.

But he hath departed; nor professional skill;
nor ardent prayers of loving hearts; nor ten-
der officers of kindest friends ;—conld stay the
fell destroyer. Wc morn him, as one who
hath parted from us in the brig ht morning of
life trusting and hopeful; but in the evening
he doth not return, and we are sick at heart.
It is not given that the pure spirit of a true
man may revisit those scenes once hallowed
by his genial presence, else we might hope
again to commune with him; for even the
most timid of us would never for the shadow
of one, who, in life, was full of love and kind-
ncss.

But why grieve for the departed? Such as
he, hath everlas ing gain! Let as rather
mourn for that young heart whose

“ Busy meddling memory,
In barbarous succession. Inusters up

The past endearmenfs of their softer hours,
Tenacious oi‘tlie tlierue,”:-

and let us drop a fear for that aged pair,
whose light is dimmed, 31nd whose hopes are
nipped by the killing frost; and while think-
rn .
z ” 0f sighs that speak ,n dither-’3 wne,

Of pangs that none but mothers know,”
let us hope that “ He, who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb,” may lighten their sorrow
by affo rding them the consciousness that they
may meet their dear boy hereafter, " where
the wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest.”_
