THE TAZ
Nor-walk, Tuesday, Dec. 2'] 1859
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
We never remember to have seen a more
busy time in old Norwalk, than was ap-
parent in and about the shops at the Bridge
on Saturday evening. We think the change
‘ drawers of nearly all our shopmen will bear
substantial evidence that, in the important
feauture of trade, Norwalk. as compared with
former years, has grown as famously as in
the extent of its geographical limits. ' The
evidences of increased trade are made the‘
more apparent from the fact that a large por-
tion of our more recent accessions of'popu-
lation comprise families of wealth and taste,
whose demands upon the village shopmen, as
evinced in the trade of Christmas Eve, are
found to be for in advance of any previous
year.
Our stores were also most cheerfully em-
blazoned with all the gas jets which could be
brought into requisition, while several were
specially illuminated. Randle’s new store,
and imhnense Show window, was a leading
object of attraction, it being a new surf”iEe
to most of our villagers. A crowd also
thronged the walk in front of Selleck’s store,
which was also brilliantly lighted, and deco
rated with pictorial adornments, but it was
left. for “ Mine Host” Anne, of the old. Nor-
'walk Hotel, to cover himself and his house
with a blaze of glory. His. Hotel was splen
~didly illuminated from “ turr'et to foundation
stone,” (to borrow a figure from the eloquent
Rem—from all which manifestations of thrift
and enterprise, we naturally argue that so far

fi‘ “ Thcm’s our sentiments” exactly, and how our
honest Republican friends can stomach its New York
Herald duplicity, minus the Herald’s fact in gyratlng
from one party to another,we cannot understand. We
know of many hereabouts who, seeing the pat 1n the
meal bag. have discontinued and discountenanced the
treacherous concern. A traitor friend is more to be
dreaded than an open enemy, and the sooner the New
York Times runs up the locofoco fiqg, the better for its
old friends and supporters, and its own honor, if it has
any left. Out of envy of the success of the Tribunc,or
hopes of pecuniary advantages from the Locofocos, its
course has been anything but open, manly or 'hono-
rable, in view of the circulation and support heretofore
extended it by Republicans. -

in Ohio. Mrs. Alfred Hoyt of Norwalk is in relation-
ship a niece, and by adoption a daughter of John
Sherman, fie to be Speaker. Mr. Sherman'comes h0n~
estly by his Republicanism, as the patriot blood of old
Roger Sherman flows in his veins, and in helping Help-
ar we think the Disunion democracy will help him into
the Speaker’s Chair, if the House is over organized.

fiiWe are permitted to publish the fol-
lowing extract from a letter ‘to a gentleman
of Norwalk, dated Washington Dec. 19, 1859.
“ The scene exhibited in-Uongress the last two weeks
is in accordance with the programme. It is well under-
stood here that before the adjournment of
the last Congress, it was arranged between certain
Southern gentlemen and their Dough-faced friends at
the North, that in case the elections to be held in the
free States in 1859 should result adversely to the De-
mocrncy, indicating the probable election of a Republi-
can President, tbreats of disunion sheuld resound from
both Halls of Congress. Neither John Brown’s mad
exploit at Harper’s Ferry, nor Helper’s book are the
moving causes, but an apprehensron that the control
of the Government, which the South with slight inter-
vals has held ever since its organization, is about to de-
part from them. This is the scout .of the treasonabio
speches to which we have listened the last fortnight
without any disclaimer from Northern Democrats
“ This demonstration from the Democratic party in
favor of disunion may frighten a few mercenary and
timid men in the large cities,‘ but the intelligence and
patriotism of the country will rebuke it. The game
has been played too often to min-lead sensible men.—
Anotllcr consideration has retarded the appointment of
Speaker, the administration and its supporters shrink
the exposure that must needs follow a Republican or-
ganization. Could Mr. Shel‘mnn have stipulated that
he would appoint no Committees IIISLWOIIIC thorough-
ly investigate the abuses and corruptions of the party
he might have been Speaker 10 days ago.”

West-roar, Dec 23d, 1859.
Our citizens were somewhat surprised last Monday
morning when each had repaired to their respective
places of business, at finding in the centre of our vil-
logo, 8. large two story building, raised and nearly si-
ded up. with about fifty men and boys hard at work
towards completing it, and refusing to answer any in-
terrogatories or stop in their contemplated plan. The
building we found upon inquiry,’ was designed for Ell-
gfna Company Comps, No. 2 (the name Company which
accepted the invitation from your Norwalk Company
and did such good execution int your town, at the time
of the County Fair' and felt disposed after the contel t,
to challenge the world inside of Fairfield Coun-
ty.) This building was on what was supposed to
be public property in front of the residence of Wm. 11.
Jessup, Esq. The company claiming it as highway or
common property. Mr. Jeasup, the owner of the prep -
ertyadjoining, after learning their plans, forbid the
Company from proceeding further with the work and
requested them to remove it. This injunction was Illl<
heeded, the fireman continuing to work and railr-
forcements to arrive and by 10 o’clock the building
was nearly finished outside—the mason work to be
completed at some future time, as some said the ma-
son who was to do the job had turned carpenter con-
sidering the handling of beards and shingles of more
consequence than lath and plaster. Each party per-
sisted in their rights and each sought legal advice; in
the moon time the Company drew from their 0' d quill--
ters their engine, hose cart, km, and placed them in
their new made building; thinking that would hold.
the property. An injunction was speedily drawn up
and forwarded to Judge Butler, for his approval and
in about ,sn hour and a quarter the document was
served upon the unfortunates. After dinner not a
foreman was to l‘e seen and many inquired if the Com-
pany had “busted ” ,A meeting of the ” terrified”
Was called and it was decided to move.
Things remained quiet .until about 3 o‘clock, when
the streets were again alive with firemen, teams, carts
km, and the building was raised on wheels and the
fireman with the assistance of numerous volunteers
and a number of small children, commenced to move

ly granted them by Capt. J. T. Buckley, where they in

speech. thus showed the policy. which Gov.

he did in 1856‘. that if Fremont should be elec-

ARMORY AT IIARI’ER’S FERRY, how few
at that time would have justified so bold and
decided a measure? It is the fortune of
some great and gifted minds to see for in ad-
vance or their cotemporaries. Should Wil-
liam H; Seward be elected ill 1860. where ,is
the man now in our midst who would not call
for the impeachment ofa Governor of Virgin

of that Programme of Treason and Disunion

assailed, as it is now assailed by the corrupt,

“The following is from the Delaware
Rep .blican, (Wilmington)'a paper published
in a SLAVE State :
“ The Conflict—Which ' shall Triumph? A
great outcry was raised by the Democrats
some months ago because William H. Seward
remarked ‘that an irrepressible conflict was
going on between Slavery and Freedom, and
that one or the other . would. eventually
triumph—thatFreedom or Slavery would be-
come universal in our country. A greatel-truth
than this was never uttered. It matters not
what people may think or say.tbis conflict
between free and slave labor is going on. It
has its origin in nature, and operates as cer-
tainly and as surely as any of the laws which
govern our bodies. We can not escape it if
we would, so long as the power of locomotion
or of freedom to remove from one portion of
the world to another, is given to our race —
Life is a continual struggle Men are forced
to fight, as it Were for existence-tic fight for
food and clothing for their wives and their
little ones ; and where the climate is congeui
al,free labor is obtaining the mastery over
slave labor, and the system of chattel slavery
is dying out. This is the casein Delaware. in
Maryland. Virginia, Kentucky. and Missouri,
or at least ill some portion of each of them,
and in the lapse of years it will become ex-
tinct This is a fact; and whether it isa
populuur or unpopular one. it limiters not.—
Whether popular or unpopular, it s all the
some. The tide 0f population will roll on,
the struggle for existence will be continued,
and either white or slave labor will triumph.”

Ex-Govl-inxon HENRY Dr'r'rox of New Haven
declined to attend the Union meeting at New
sous. He says:
erations to the'condemnniton of the conduct of
John Brown, The introduction of any other
topic, would be regarded and condemned as
factions and disorderly.
Now the leaders of the South in Congress,-
the Governors and Legislatures of several of
the Southern States and the Southern press,
with few exceptions. take the ground that
the election of what they call a Black Ill-pub
lican for President, would be sympatizing
with John Brown, and be a snfiicicntcausefcr
a 'dissolution of the Union. ~
A simple vote, by a Union meeting, of con-
demnation ofacts of John Brown, would be
claimed to be. an irldorsement of the treason-
ablc doctrine to which I have referred.
1 hold that the general government is bound
to secure to 'the clan-holding States all the
rights and privileges guaranteed to them by
the constitution. including that . of a re-
turn of‘ fugitive slaves, I further hold
thn‘t the course pursued by John Brown.
however much his motives are entitled
to respect. was treasonable and justly for
foiled his life. But I further hold that the-
rights and privileges of the non-slaveholding
states are also to be maintained. Much as I
love and value the Union. I do not wish it to
survive the destruction of the absolute right
of free suffrage. _ If I know that on my voting
for Seward, or Chase, or Books. or any other
man Whom I regarded as most worth to fill
the Presidential chair. the whole Soul would
secede and dissolve the Union, I, should .not
hesitate a moment to vote for him.

SENATE,Dec. 19.—'1‘he Vice President being
absent, the Senate proceeded to ballot for. a
{resident pro tempura, with the following
result: For Mr.,.1"ifzpatrick. 33 ; for Mr.
Mr. Fitz-
report was then, received. A Clerk was
granted to Mr. Mason’s Harper’s Ferry Com-
Illilfec- Mr. Pugh then rose to defend the!
Northern Democracy against the charge of"
uusounduesslnadc by hf~l',,lvel'son the other
day. He said such charges came with bad
grace from the South, which had not done as
muclI orDemoeracy as the North. He repudi-
ted the sentiment that the position of Mr.
Douglas on Territorial rights was akin to the
Wilrnot Proviso or unti Democratic, showing
that Gen, Cass had sustained the same provis-
ion.. He showed that' Mr. Iverson, when a
member of the House, eleven years ago, had
supported the position of non-intervention,
and the Georgia legislature had sent instruc-
tions to its representatives in Congress ill
favor of,the,samc principle. Ila .jal'so 'read
the Democratic platform of California, which
was almost._literally copied from the Ohio
platform,drawn up by himself. Mr. P. then
proceeded tornotice the action on the part of
.the Democratic majority of'the Senate witht
regard to Mr. Douglas’s position on the Son-
ate Committees. Mr. Gwin explained the
action oftbe California Legislature in refer-
ence to the non—intervention. resolutions re-
ferred to by Mr. P. Mr. Lane of Oregon next
spoke, stating that his views on the Territo-
rial question were that a Territory in the
common roper'ypf the whole people, and
-that.'whi e in that territorial condition, the
people could not, by unfriendly legislation.
or by unequal taxation, infringe the rights
of the people of any state in the Union. Mr.
Brown of Kentucky spoke, insisting that
slaves were property before the Constitution
existed, and that It did not belong to a Fede—
ral Constitution to say what a State should
recognize as property. He claimed that
owners of slaves had the same right to take
their slaves to Territoriesthat owners of othé
er property had to take their property there,
and when there,‘ they should be protected as
property. .
Howrah—Mr. Gilmer, on a question of priv—
ilcge,com.nented upon a newspaper article
associatinglhis name offensively with Helper’s
book, and saying, among other things. that
the South should look about to see whether
she had not traitors on her own soil. He
denied any knowledge of receiving the book,
ifit had been sent to him- Ever since he
had refused to act with the Democrats on the
Lecompfon_policy,whicb he believed to be
an infamous fraud and swindle. he has been
pursued with the ferocity of a tiger. He
denied, in toto, the whole publication. Mr.
Singleton, of Miss, took the floor, defending
the South from Mr, Hickmau‘s charge that
the South had violated all. its compacts and
compromises. Mr. Hickman interposed, say-
ing that the South bud demanded the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, as it prevented
Slavery north of 36 dcg..30 min.‘, and was
unjust to the South. With the aid of a few
Northern representatives,the repeal was ac-
complished. the South pledging , that the
question of slavery thenceforth should be left
to the people of the Territories, and not be
agitated in Congress. An effort was then
made to force Slavery into a '1‘erritor'y,fr_om
which it was excluded by the act of 1820, and
failing in this, they denounce the legislation
of 1854, and insist that the principles of the
Kansas Nebraska bill should be repudiated.—
Mr. Singleton denied that the South had made
war on the line 36 deg., 30 min., and was
willing to extend the line to the Pacific. and
thus forever settle the vexed question. If the
Republicans succeeded in elected Mr. Sher-
man Speaker, they would do it at the .peril
of severing the ties which bound the Union
together. Acolloquy between Messrs. Sin-
gletou and Curtis (Iowa) took place,in which
Mr. Singleton asked Mr. Curtis if the Repub-
lican party would never let the South have
another foot of Slave Territory while it re-
mained in the Union. Mr. Curtis responded
that that was the intention of the Republican
party. Mr. Singleton said his advice to Mis-
slppl was, the sooner it got out of the Union,
the better. He said the South had made up
its lniud to sustain Slavery, and would not
be confined to present ‘limits. It would be
impossible for the people of the North to
prevest the people of the'Soutll, with arms in
their hands, from going into the surrounding
terrilories, Gentlemen should recollect that
Jefferson Davis led our forces in Mexico, and
he still lives, perhaps to lead a Southern
army. Hr. Logan of Illinois here rose and
declared that be'would vote for any man
the purpose of‘putting down the Republican
party. Mr. Singleton then resumed, saying
that the South could expand to Mexico, that
country being without government. and they
could administer the estate themselves.—
.Whenever such a- man as Mr. Seward or Mr.
Hale was elected there might be an undivided
front in the South to resist aggression. The
only way to maintain the Union was to allow
the people to make States and admit them,
execute the-fugitive slave law, and give the
south assurance that there will be no difficul-
ty in repovering runaway slaves. A vote for
Speaker was then had. resulting he follows :
For Mr. Sherman, 112 ; Mr. Boceck, 85 ; Bo-
teler, 2 1; scattering, 12. Mr. Bocock then,
after returning thanks to his friends. with-
drew his name, and another vote was bad re-
sulting, For Mr. Sherman, 112 ; Boteler, :49 ;
Bocock, 19 ;Miles Taylor, 12 ; Phelps, l5 ;
Scattering, 42. A third vote .was bad ; For
Sherman, 110 ; Boteler, 31 ; Barksdalc, 20 ;
Boeock, l2 ; Miles Taylor, 9 ; scattering, 46.
The House then adjourned. -
Snnarn, Dec.20.-—'1‘he Homestead bill was
introduced by Mr. Jackson of Tennessee. It.
,was read twice and referred. Mr. Pugh’s res-
olution was taken np,when Mr, Harlan of
Iowa, moved to amend by adding that inquiry
be also made into the propriety of authorizing
.he people of Utah and New Mexico to elect
all their territorial officials —executive, legis-
lative and judicial—in such manner as the
Legislature thereof'shail prescribe. Mr. Green
moved a postponement of the subject
till Monday next, which was agreed to, and
the Senate adjourned.
Honor—Mr. Taylor of La..stated that his
his room by sickness, and asked that some
member on the other side would pair off with
him. Mr. Frow of Penn., regarded it as not
quite fair to ask gentlemen present to pair
of! with absentces. Nor Was it usual. Pair-
ing off was done by those who found it ‘nec-
essary.to be absent. The matter was dropped
and Mr. Hickman made an ineffectual appeal
to adopt his proposition for the plurality
rule. Mr. Holman of'Ind., took the floor and
spoke of the slavery question, which be said
was not yet settled, though there was an an
proximation to that end. He held that Con-
gress has nojurisdiction over slavery in the
Territories. Mr. John Cuchranc of N. Y.,
followed. He referred to' the assertions that
we had reached a crisis. and said that be rep-
resented a constituency which had always
stood for the Union and the Constitution, and
on tileirgbclicf he declared that whenever a
s’ervile insurrection shall occur at the South,
the conservative men of the North would be
there to suppress it, He believed that We
were on the eve of important events, but he
was no alarmist. He had no belief ill the
disruption of the Union. He referred to the
Union meetings at the North, and denied
that they were of no nccount,as had been
assorted. As to lfelper’s Book, he said its
doctrines were the doctrines of‘tllc Republican
party, and if a man endorsing that book was
unfit .to bc Speaker. that party was unfit to
take charge of the destinies of this nation.—
He did not think Mr. Clark’s resolution
comprehensive enough, as it only condemned
the ndorser. He then proceeded to review
the contents of Mr. Ilelper’s book, and after
he lud cbncluded, a vote for Speaker was
had with the following result ; For Mr. Sher—
man, 111; Mr. McClernand, 21; Mr. Bo-
teler, 39 ; Mr. Burksduie, l5 ; scattering, 42.
Another vote showed for Mr. Shermau,110 ;
Mr. Botelcr, 43; Mr. McClernand.25‘; Mr.
Burksdule, 10 ; scattering: 38. The third
vote stood ; For Mr. Sherman. 109 ; Mr. Bo-
teler. 33 ; Mr. McCIernnnd, 28: scattering,
48. . Necessary to achoicc, 112. The House
then adjourned.

Hausa—Mr. Curtis of Iowa made an appeal
to the House to elect a Speaker before- the
holidays set in, saying that the wh'olecounlry
expected an organization to day. and that
there was a host of creditors wanting their,
pay. A call of the House was .had, and it
was found that 18 members Were absent. M r.
Anderson of Ky, then took the floor, saying
he wanted to see an. organization first, and
gentle men might discuss the Slavery question
afterwards to their heart’s content. A polit-
ical discussion then ensued. followed by ex'
planatioas relative to the votes for Mr Gil-
mer, when two votes for Spe’er were taken;
in the first of which Mr. Sher an lacked 17
votes of an election, and in the second only 4.
Mr. Winslow then moved that no more votes
be taken for Speaker be taken till the second

was entitled to the floor. announced his wil-
lingness to yield it for the purpose of taking
a vote for Speaker. Several Democratic
members, however, insisted that he should

then went on with his remarks, showing that
the Richmond Enquirer had, in 1856—’57,
uttered much more strong “ irrepressible
cunfiict” doctrines than Mr. Seward. Mr.
F. proceeded with a straightforward, plain
speech. He was subjected to much interrup

and nauseating doses ; they do not cause the least un-
pleasant symptoms—even if taken in large dolles, they
create only nthirst, which being alloyed with water,
an agreeable warmth and moisture at the surface is
soon experienced. when taken as directed, they break
up the cold and arr-gist effects, and the only operation
perceived is a mysterious and unaccountable disap-
pearance of all symptoms, as feverlsbness, chills,lame~
net-s, darting pains, dull heavy pains, tightness of the
chest, hoarseness, cough, sore throat, croup, catarrh,
headache, to.
TH r; VEGETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS are to colds
what Vuccinatiouis against Small Pox and Quinine for
Ague. They are a specific remedy for the prevention
and cure of a specific disease. And by breaking colds
with them the system is not weakened and deranged
and rendered more subject to repeated attacks, but is
rather strengthened and fortified against them. They
arrest croup instantly and permanently, and by their
timely use, coughs, cutarrb, bronchitis. lovers, rheu-
matism, sore throats, consumption, and all diseases
primarily excited by colds, can be banished from
among the people.

No medicine ever introduced to the public has drawn
out so emphatic testimony to substantiate its claims
as the Cold Powders. It is but little over two years
that they have been before the public, and the manner
they seized upon public confidence is truly surprising:
Our prominent men have been the first to recommend
them, believing their: to be a public bencfactlona .
'the publishers have liberty to refer to the following.
