Southern Trade.
The Administration presses in this state
and elsewhere have been trying hard to make
Northern manufacturers, merchants and me-
chanics believe that they were to be absolute-
l y ruined by the withdrawal of Southern pat-
ronage. The party leaders have desired that
the industrial interests of the North should
at least be temporarily paralyzed, hoping to
reap political advantage, and to aid in ac-
complishing such a result. unscrupulous
presses have persistently misrepresented the
opinions of a large majority of those on-
gaged in trade at the North. But manufac-
tories have not stopped and Southern 'mer-
chants buy where they can buy the cheapest,
as usual. From every quarter we hear that
the schemes of these reckless politicians have
failed. One of the largest manufacturers in
this State ,who is extensively interested in
the Southern trade, assured us on Monday,
that he had as yet perceived no diminution
in Southern ordeis. The Boston Atlas says
that the Southern trade for the season in that
city has been as good as usual. At the semi-
annual salc of boots and shoes by auction,
last week, the attendance of Southerners was
not only largo,bnt they were the most nu-
merouii patrons. The New York Evening
Posts few days since alluded to the matter
as follows:
“ Some of our merchants are absolutely op-
pressed with the extent of the orders they re-'
ccive frem‘the South. We spoke with one of
them this morning, whosaid that the house
in which 'he was concerned had twice the
amount of Southern trade this winter that it
had last season. What is quite as worthy of'
' note is that those who come on from the South
topnrchase, buy as they did last year, where
they can'buy to the best advantage. - They
speak. with the utmost contempt of the at-
tempts to-"proscribe certain Northern merchants
as a mere shift of the politicians, adopted in
an exigency of desperation. They pay no
attention'to it. they buy freely where they
can be best suited, and ask no questions as to
the politics of the seller. They have nothing
to gain by foregoing the opportunity of pur-
chasing where they can get the best bar-
gains.”
The Nashua (N. H.) Telegraph thus dis-
poses of an appeal to the mechanics of that
city by the Administration paper to vote the
Democratic ticket and thus save the Southern
trade.
" A cock and bull story was started the
other day from a well known Democratic
source, that the Nashua Lock Com an'y had
received very large orders from til’ie South
. which had been ceuntermanded. A baser
falsehood was never uttered. Mr. Munroe
assures us that his orders for the Southern
trade during the Inonth of January amoun-
ded to more than the whole your previous,
and his orders average almost one a.dsy.-
So much for the truth.
The experience of business men in New
York, in Boston, in Connecticut, in New
Hampshire is the experience of those engaged
in trade‘everywhere. The prediction and
ihopes of the Administration partisans and-
;pressesbave proved miserable failures and
they now begin to realize it.
The feeling of the administration politi-
cians hercabouts is shown in an article which
we find in a recent number of the Chicopce
Journal. ~We are assured that the conversa-
tion is correctly reported :
An instance is related of an attempt to
frighten e y0ung man in the employ of the
. . Wheeler A Wilson Sewing Machine Co., at
last Bridgeport, a few days since. The
young man was at Hartford, his na-
tive place, on a visit, and there came in con-
nect with a prominent Democrat, one of the
leading men of that party in Hartford, and
in conversation the Hartford gentleman in-
aircd the reason why the Wheeler dc Wilson
.'did not run their works but five hours a
day. The_ young man told him in a joking
way, that it was said to be owing to “ South-
ern trade." The Administration gentleman
remarked that he hoped Connecticut mechan-
ics would see where it is for their interest to
vote in future. The mechanic replied that
he could see no reason why he should cast his
-vote for any other party than with the party
do which he belonged. The Administration
suns replied that he must be dull of compre-
ihension if he could not see his interest in re-
.gard to this matter and vote the Democratic
iticket. The young man said he could not
and he would not see that it was for his inte-
rest to violate his principles so far as to vote
the Administration ticket. “ G—d d——n
you” responded the man,“l hope you will not
have 9 day’s work for five years if you contin-
sie to vote the Republican ticket." This from
the lips of a well known Democrat of Hart-
ford i semen who has been in years past high‘
in office in that city.
These things indicate the reckless game
that into be played by the Administration
politicians of the North. Connecticut and
New Hampshire are the first to grapple with
them, and it behooves the Republicans to be
read y for the desperate encounter. Thorough
eflcient organization is the only weapon.—
Withont this we may be beaten—with it our
majority can be, and ought to be as large as
in 1856.
In the above, from the Hartford Press, we get an in.
ssigbt to the motives prompting the democratic mano-
l'l’l il .99 hue and cry raised about “Southern or-
ders." An a'ticle in the Boston Commercial Bulletin
of Jan. 28th, says the general aspect of business in
"“3 “Dutment is encouraging, and manufacturers
throughout the state are pressed with work. 0f the
D?! Goods trade and Southern orders, it claims an in-
crease over last year. A gentleman, not particularly
allied to the Republican Party, who is perhaps as
largely identified with manufacturing for the South as
any one in our State, assured us last week, that in a
correspondence with twenty three other Manufacturing
Proprietors, seventeen, assured him that while their
orders from the West had fallen off, owing to the scar.
city of money there, their Southern trade had suffered
no diminution whatever. So much for this pitiful bug-
boar, gotten up *0 frighten Winn Laborers, and Mo-
chanles and Factoty operatives, who can read and
think and actforthsmeelm, into deserting the party of
Fast Luzon, the party of Pnorncnox to Hour Isocsrar
and non lm‘t‘mnxs, and allying them selves to the
810* Wifm trade, British Hanufacture democracy
of the present day! When this game works it will
be after white men cease to read and refiect.‘

This cute rteinmcnt passed off to the entire satisfac-
tion of all concerned. The new Hall (by the way pro-
nounced the finest Room in the State,) was brilliant
with beauty, birds, wreaths, festoons, and Firemen
paraphernalia in general. The music was good, tho
Iuppcrbettor, and the company best of any ever be-
fore promiseuously convened on any similar occasion
in old Norwalk. The galleries were filled with sage
Potornals and maternals, representatives of our most
select society, who seemed to enjoy the movements 110-
” hours away. We observed that the Boston and
New Haven Press were represEnted in the persons of
Mr. Norris of the Boston Fireman’s Advocate, and Mr.
F. J. Sizer ofthe New Haven Palladium. J. H. Hutton

John Decker Esq., the newly elected Chief Engineer
of the N. Y..il’. Department, and also one of their
Foreman. Westport, Stamford and Danbury Compa-

hdr.Perry’n Speech.
We occupy our entire outside today in the
publication of Mr. Ferry’s speech in full.—
For this monopoly of space, we feel that no
apology will be required by any reader of the
Gazette, for a more masterly and truly patri-
otic effort has not been delivered at our Na~
tional Capitol for many aday. From the fact
that the President’s organ in nearly a column
review of it, does not attempt to controvert
a single position of Mr. Ferry, we conclude
very naturally that its arguments are unan-
swerable and its charges of a fall from grace
on the part of' the modern Democracy, unde-
niable. We trust. notwithstanding its length
that all will read it. A gentleman from Dan-
bury who was present during its delivery in.
forms us that Mr. Ferry commanded the most
respectful attention of all parties on the floor,
the House and the galleries, and at its con-
clusion was most cordially congratulated by
theltepubliean members. As another evi-
dence of the favor with which his speech was
received, orders for Over thirty thousand
copies have been already made upon the Doc-
ment Committee for it, for the purposes of
general circulation.

woe to the unlucky vagabond who is caught
at this infamous depravity again! “Ensign”
goes prepared for any amount of resistance
and is specially ambitions of playing th e
Knight Err-ant. We are no commenders of the

Bethel, for the forthcoming spring and fall
campaign, its members pledging themselves
to work with a will for the candidates pre-
sented for their support and for the triumph
of those principles which the fathers of this
Republic held so dear to every individual,
viz: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happi-
ness. With these ends in view, a large and
enthusiastic meeting was held at Judd’s Hall
on Thursday evening, the 14th inst, at which
time several speeches were made all breath-
ing the right sentiment, and funds subscribe d
to pay incidental expenses and procure docu-
ments for circulation, and at the same time it
was voted to hold weekly meetings and also
district meetings in every school district for
the purpose of talking up the subject and
prosecuting the work systematically, so
that the triumph may be complete and the
victory sure.

Correspondence of the Gazett._
Wssrroa'r, Feb. 17th, 1860.
The Loeofoco State Convention has met, and after
eating the usual quantity- of Southern dirt, and lied
about the Republican Party to its satisfaction—have
discarded their old “Ticket,” and nominated what
some of them perhaps consider their strongest man for
Governor. This is plainly a backing down ; a retreat
before the enemy. With Tom Seymour as their candi.
duo, they have some hope of breaking the Republican
lino, and of carrying Connecticut for the Aministration
Democracy. We shall see i They could not drop
Pratt without dropping the rest, so they have presen-
ted a new Ticket entire. For leaving out Mr. Winslow,
we tender to .the gentlemen of the Convention our
thanks I a man whose money, tact, and ability, did
more to swell the Loeofoco vote last year, than all oth~
causes combined. Upon the whole this now Ticket is a
good one to knock, and to be knocked down. We
promise ya u, gentlemen, a much better drubbing than
you received last year. Rurnnucaxs l Fouwann i

Shameful Government—Corruption and
Fraud: .
HOW IT WAS DONE.
According to the Tribune correspondence, Mr. Mega.
roe of Philadelphia testified before the Printing Invest-
gating Committee of the Senate on Saturday, that he
received between four and five thousand dollars from
Mr. Wendell, in 1856, for the purpose of organizing a
third party in Pennsylvania proceeding the Gubernato-
rial nnd Presidential elections, which the sham De-
mocracy regarded as imperatively necessary to secure
the State to Mr. Buchanan. The money was applied
to the object. This fact establishes that the public
money derived from printing and other jobs and asses-
ments in departments, was used to start the Fillmore
movement on a a practical basis, which was afterward
rendered formidable by contributions from New York,
through which the side door operations were managed
and Mr. Fremont defeated. Movements are now on
foot to repeat this game next fall, but with less pron-
pect of success.
Mr. Wendell was examined by the Committee the oth-
er day, and made the following ecpore .-
He stated that seven or eight persons were interest-
ed in the public printing. He had paid out during the
past three years over a hundred thousand dollars for
party support to newspapers and in aid of election ex-
penses principally in Pennsylvania, but extending over
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, kc. In some
cases the payments were of his own free ‘will, and
sometimes from official authority. He testified that
out of the Post-Ofiice printing he paid in 1857, six thou-
sand dollars to the Penunylvnnienjnewspaper of Phila-
delphia, and five thousand dollars to the Eastern Ar-
gus, of the same city. He told the Committee that he
went into doubtful districts in Pennsylvania and spent
money freely in favor of the Democratic party, leaving
it to be inferred that he had earned the place by the
sacrifices he had madein this mode of electioneering.
In what doubtful election precinct this excess of
money paid over the amount at which the contract
was taken, was expended, does'not appear.
Again on Thursday morning the Committee on the
Printing Investigation sat several hours and examined
Mr. John C, Rives on various matters connected with
The Congressional Globe, Messrs. Gales & Seaton’s con-
tract and the like. He proved that the Senate Print-
ing was executed at his ofiico under an arrangement
with Mr. Bowman, by which be (Mr. Rives) received
two-thirds of the price paid by law for doing the work,
and Mr. Bowman one-third as his profit on the job,
without incurring any risk or responsibility.
The people of Connecticut who read and think will
thus see how the money goes. The public purse has
been dip pod into deeply to uphold the Democratic par-
ty, and all charged to the head of Post—Office blanks 1
Mr. Bright’s inquiry into the reasons for the delay
in the construction of the dome of the Capitol will do-
velope that the contractor for the iron work agreed to
furnish two classes, at five and two cents per pound ro-
spectfully'. _Applieation was made to Mr. Meigs for an
increase in prices, which he refused as did his suceear ,
nor, Capt. Franklin. An order from the War Depart-
ment raised to seven cents per pound, making a differ-
ence of $120,000 in the cost of the materi el.

H'Tho speech of Cassius M. Clay before the Young
Men’s Republican Union in New York, Feb. 15th, was
a glorious thing ; It covers the whole ground, and
ought to be scattered all over our State and put into
the hands of every man, Democratiq, Shamocrntic, or
otherwise, who has a heart to feel, a head to under-
stand nnd a vote to give. Said he in closing :
“ We preach no new doctrine, we invoke no ne v
God, but standing by the old doctrine of ’76, upon
which our fathers fought and died, we say with Crit-
tendeu that ‘ that ground which is good to stand up
on is good ground to fall upon.’ We invoke the peo-
ple of the North and South to stand by the Constitu-
tion of the United Ste ton and vindicate it beyond the
possibility ofa doubt. Who are the men that have
avowed the intention to dissolve the Union? Look at
the record. Not a single County meeting, our District
Convention nor State Assembly, nor National Conven-
tion of the Republican party has ever declared that in
any emergency, will they dissolve the Union. No sirs :
we say all the time that we submit to Democratic rule
while the slavnboldors rule us, and we submit because
we know of no other policy, no other alternative, ex-
cept it be force, ond when that is used all law is silent
and the Government becomes a despotism ; whenever
you resort to violence you have an anarchy as has
Mexico, whichis continually at war because it does
not stand b any constitution or law. All our pledges
and autocagnts‘prove that we are bound to be loyal
to the Union of those States ; and therefore 1 say we
can safely claim your su'firsges, not taking us by our
nvowels but taking us by our acts. f we have sub
mitted for eighty years, we are willing to submit for
eighty years more, unless we can persuade you to take
hold of those golden privileges which we hold to bo
ri ht.

said he had fallen in a duel, risking his life in
violation of the laws of God and man. He
then delivered a homily against duelling, and
said he could not vote for the resolutions of
respect. Mr. Toombs of Ga., (dem.) said the
deceased was honest, bold and truthful. and
one of the best specimenaofa self-madeAmer-
ican this generation had seen. He fell in hon-
orable combat, in defense of his honor , and he
could not have died more nobly. The usual
resolutions of respect were then passed, and
the Senate adjourned. .

of a printer, first adopting a condition prece-

Further proceedings were interrupted by a
message from the Senate announcing the death ,
of Mr. Broderick. .
Mr. Burch of Cal. delivered a brief eulogy,
saying the memorylof Mr. Broderick will long
be cherished in California.
Mr. Haskin of N.Y., (A.L. dem.) also made
some remarks appropriate to the occasion,
saying that Broderick’s career would survive
a glorious example for the poor and humble,
who have only the wealth of courage and
intellect at command.
Mr. Hickman of Pa. (A.L: dem.) spoke of
Broderick as God’s instrument for mighty
purposes. Those who thought him less- than
a philosopher never knew him. His every
nerve was exerted to dignity labor. It might
be said that there was but one Broderick to
walk the earth. His fame would be as enduring
as the records of public virtue.
Mr. Burlingame of Mass. (rep.) spoke of
Broderick as ,a Democrat without being a
demagogue, who loved the peOple but never
betrayed them. Men forgot they were demo-
crats or republicans and called themselves
“ Broderick men, scornful of corruption or
tyranny,in the grandeur and purity of his
public and private life.
Mr. Morris of Ill. (dem.) in the course of
his eulogy said if Broderick had been less in-
dependent he would have been a living
man to-.day. He was a moral hero, and alike
scorned the smiles and corruptions of power.
No senator in so short a space of time ever
acquired a wider fame ;asd no name will

DYSPEPSIA.
There is perhaps no disease which destroys the hop-
piness and comfort ofiudividunls and families to the
same extent as Dyspepsia or indigestion
Previously to the discovery of the
OXYGENATED BITTERS,
There existed no medicine accessible to those suffer-
ing from this wide spread disease which relieved it in
any marked degree.
The power of these hitters over the above named dis-
ease as well as those having their origin in imperfect
digestion and functional diseases of the stomach, as
well as Asthma and general Debi'liiy.
its speedy and permanent cures of some of the seve-
rest aud stubborn cases on record is sufficient confir-
mation of this fact. '
THE LATEST TESTIMONY.
We call the attention of the reader to the following
letter from President Smith, of Wesleyan University :
MIDDLETOWN, Coxs., Feb. ‘28, 1859. ‘
Sara W. Fowu: 5: Co., —Gss'rs 2—1 first made use of
the Oxygenated Bitters JOIne seven or eight years
since. Having suffered for twenty years with a forin
of Dyspepsia which was attended with a nervous head
ache, on an average of not less than one day in a
week, I was induced by the unpretending recommen-
dation of Dr. Green ‘- to try one bottle and if no bene-
fit was received to discontinue the use.”
The use of one bottle warranted a. further trial, to
vance of the accompanying directions The result was
an almost entire relief from the usual dyspeptic symp-
toms and their depressing, painful consequences. I
believe those hitters produced an entire change in the
habits of'my system and upon the active energies of
tho digestive organs. I now deem myself as exempt
from Dyspepsia as most persons. These hitters have
also been of service to other members of my family.
Very respectfully yours,
AUGUSTUS W. SMITH.

g The use of Dr. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters for

any other like afiection, is second to none in America
-or abroad. To be able to state confidently tliist the
“ Bitters” are a certain cure for dyspepsia and like dis
cases, is to the proprietors a source of unulloyed pleas-
ure. it removes all morbid matter from the stomach,
purifies the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the her

[LL break up colds at once, without sweating, di-
eting, interruption of business, or the use of hot,
stimulating, and burning compounds, herb, teas, cuu-
dies, balsams, or any other disagreeable inconvenient
and nauseating doses ; they do not cause the least un-
pleasant symptoms-even if taken in large doses, they
create only a thirst, which being allayeil with water,
an agreeable warmth and moisture at the surface is
soon experienced. When taken as directed, they break
up the cold and arrest effects, arid the only operation
perceived is a mysterious and unaccountable disap-
pourance ofall symptoms, as feverishness, chills,lnme-
ness, darting pains, dull heavy pains, tightness of the
chest, lloarseness, cough, sore throat, croup, cuturrh,
lieudacue, ac. '
THE VEGETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS are to colds
wliat Vaccination is ugairut Small Box and Quiuina tor

and cure ofn epecilic disease. And by breaking colds
with them the system is not weakened and deranged
and rendered more subject to repeated attacks, bui. is
rather strengthened and fortified against them. They
arrest croup instantly and permanently, and by their
timely use, coughs, catnrrli, bronchitis. fevers, rheu-
matism, sore throats, consumption, and all diseases
primarily excited by colds, can be banished from
among the people.
