Gotta Percha & Indra Rubber
GIMEN '1" ROOFING.
HIS articlchas been thoroughly tested by

builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years :has proved it to be the.
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.

We call attention to the follOwing facts :

lst—It is fire and water proof.

2d—From its great elasticity it is not. inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.

3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.

4th—The cost is only about One—Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.

It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desidcratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having. their ceilings and furniture n1-
ined, while repairs are being made.

Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily rc-
paired with Gutta Percha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.

Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwnlk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention., D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

A FBAGMENT.

Could blows thowind o’er the lone heath,
The snow cooms driving thro’ the vale,
Auld Boreas wi’ his icy breath,
Is, howling fierce aboon the dale,
Onvsic a night a woman young,
Cam’ over the snow beaten moor,
The tempest her loose pladdie flung,
And seem’d to mock her wi’ its roar.

She wrap’d her plaid around her child,
Which lay upon her quivering breast,

: And on it sae sadly she smil’d,

As ’round it her cold'arms she press’d;
She knockit at a cottage door,
“ My father dear, oh pity me,
My bluid is chill’d crossing the moor,
Father-let me in or I dee !”

“ Awa’ frae me,” the father cried,
“ Think you that I will tak’ you home ?
Now that you are O’Shanter’s bride,
You may gang hack free whence you
came !” '
To him she plead, “ Oh, pity men
And let me in my tees to thaw,
Else my dear father we shall dee,
My bairn and I here in the snow.”

“ In days agonc I lo’cd you wee],
To mak’ you happy was my aim,
But instiglted by the de’il,
You sloped frae your father’s home,
And married a low drunken Wight,
Which made my heart bleed to its core,
And now I find you here tonight,
Begging admittance at my door!

“ Nae more will I co.’ you my child,
You hae disgraced your father’s name,
Let storm-winds blaw never sac mild,
You shall us find wi’ nie a hame,
A’ 0’ your pray’rs will be in vain, [roan
The storm storm will drown them wi’ its
As it howls down the vale amain,” ~
Hesaid and shut the cabin door.

Fiercer and fierccs the winds blaw,
Around the woman’s cheek sac pale,
And a’ around huge drifts o’ snaw,
Were piled upon’the frozen vale,
Anon her feeble voice was heard,
Rising faintly above the din,
In tones o’ agony each word,
“ Oh let me in ! 0h let me in.”

In vain was the poor woman's wail, .

It was drown’d by the dolefu’ strain,
0’ tempest howling thro’ the vale,

And clung .of branches rent in twain;
The freezing woman left the door,

Which frown’d sae grim before her eyes,
She reels, she falls upon the moor,

A pray’r to God she says and dies.

A’ stark and’stiff, low in the snow,
The outcast daughter frozen lies,
She does na heed the winds that/blow,
Nor unwillingness-d fife skies" ' . J-
Supine she lies wi’ tangled hair,
In darksome wreaths around her spread,
And white hands clasp’d as if in pray’r,
Frazcn and stiff, stark, cold and dead. '

Chimes.

MUSICAL, sweet and low,

Over wave and Over snow,
With their wild melodious chiming,
Like a poet’s graceful rhyming,
Like a poet’s verses chiming,

Come the Christmas bells,

Rang the Christmas bells.

Came those bells, sweet and low,
To my soul within the snow;
In a dream I heard them ringing,
In a drcomJ heard them singing, -
Peace and thrilling rapture bringing
To my saddened soul,
To my monrnful soul.

Far away by the Rhine,

Rang a wild old German chime ;
Come the music, softly, faintly,
Sang so sweetly, and so quaintly,
Sang so prayerfully, and so saintly,

By the river Rhine,

By the storied Rhine.

’Twas a dream sweet and bright,

And I woke that winter’s night;
Shone the moon, the stars were shining,
But the bells were no more chiming,
And the starlight round me shining, ‘

Brought no‘light upon my soul,

No joy upon my soul.

Musical, soft and low,

. Were the chimes of long ago ;
When my heart with joy was singing,
When sweet tones were ever ringing.

Fled the singing, cm... =

Fled the living, came the dying,

Fled till all I loved seemed dying,
. " Leaving me alone, " ~

Sorrowful and lone.

But ’tis grief that purifies,

And the soul, affliction tries ;
Bowed in sorrow and in sighing,
Finds its rest in things undying,
’fill where there is no more sighing,

Rest is found at last,

Peace found at last.

The Old Man’s Growing Older.
Yes, the old man’s growing older-—
I was looking at him there;
His one hand resting on his staff,
The other on his chair.
He is more-silent than he was,
And whiter waves his hair ;
His figure seems more bending—
I was looking at him there.

His hand is not so steady,
And his eye is not so bright—

Hc catcbeth not our joke so soon,
His foot is not so light;

Nor joineth be our song as in
The days that went all fair;

For the old man’s growing older— '
I was looking at him there.

Yes, the old man’s growing older,
But is not less kind and true ;
To all, his house is open, with
A ready welcome too— .
And yet, there is a tale, by Time,
Upon hisbrow of.‘care ;
For the old man’s growing older-
I was looking at him there.

(lim of her poor old mother, who, (the man in
the black cloze observed,) was between 87
years-of age, and had to do all the cookin an

COMFORT or CHILDREN—Call not that

obscurity may cast Its darkest mantle ovsr
him, the song of the-gay may be far from his

The excursion train from Suspension
Bridge via Michigan Central, andeOmBuf-
falo via Michigan Southern, arrived at 9 1-2.
It was received here at the depot, amid the

firing of cannon, by an immense concourse of .

persons, and escorted thence in a procession
through .the principal streets to the “ Wig-
wam,”'where speeches werea’made by Col.
Curtain of Pennsylvania, T. Hassarauk of
.Ohio, Caleb Smith of Indiana, and other dis-
tinguished gentlemen.

0n the Southern route ' demonstrations
were made at stations with bands of the bar-
bor were lined with wide-awakes hear-
ing torches while. every building was “bril-
liantly illuminated.

Tuesday, 15th.

Large additions to the numbers in the city
are made by the arrival of every train, and
the Convention bids fair to be the largest
ever congregated together. ,

There were several thousand new arrivals
to-night. There cannot now be less than
40,000 strangers in the city. The entire day
has been spent in demonstrations of various
kinds. Excursions were given this afternoon
to delegates to Hyde Park.

in the evening a grand rally took place at
the Wigwam, which was crowded to over-
flowing, and four or five thousand persons
were unable to gain entrance. Speeches
were made by Gen. Nye of New York,
Messrs. Kelly of Pennsylvania, and Sunbury
of New Jersey. Lots of enthusiasm was dis-
played by the audience.

Thc New York Delegation have a silk flag
displayed, bearing a likeness of Seward with
the Union as a motto beneath.

In the Missouri room a monster bowie-
knife is exhibited, bearing on one side the
inscription, “A present to John T. Potter
of Wisconsin. by the Republicans of Mis-
souri;” on the other, “Will alway meet a
Pryor engagement.” The knife is eight feet
long.

‘ The delegations all held meetings to-night.
Much excitement is manifested as to candi-
dates. The opposition to Mr. Seward is led
by Horace Greeley, David Dudley Field, and
Francis P. Blair.

The Americans and radical Democratic

Republicans of New-York present, as a gene-

ral thing, arewarmly in favor of Mr. Seward

afternoon.

In case of Ml: Scward‘s success, Mr. Trum-
bull of Illinois will be pressed for Vice-Presi-
(lent.

Messrs. Lincoln and Wade seem the most
prominent candidate after Mr. Seward.

The German Republican Convention met
at 2 p. m. The meeting was largely attend-
'cd. Mr. Capke of ‘New York was chosen
Chairman, Resolutions were adopted rc-
questing the National Convention to con-.
down” all Incas-limes~ against. the rights of
adopted citizens, such as the Massachusetts
amendment; to declare in favor of a Home-
stead bill as passed by House of Representa-
tives; and to give the Anti-Slavery plank in
the platform the most positive interpretation.
Several other questions will be considered
at the meeting to-morrow.

REGULAR REPORT OF THE PRO-
CEEDINGS.
Wednesday, 16.

The Republican National Convention as-
sembled to-dny at the “\Vigwam.“

The doors were opened at 11 o’clock.

Long before that hour the concourse of
people assembled around the doors number-
ed many thousands luore than could gain
admittance to the building.

As soon as the doors were opened the en-
tire body ofthc Wigwam was solidly packed
with men. The. seats in the galleries were
equally closely packed with ladies.

The interior of the, hall was handsomely
decorated with evergreen, statutory and
flowers.

There were not less than ten thousand
persons in the building, while the open
doors displayed to View crowds in the streets
unable to Obtain more than a glimpse inside
of the hall.

At 12 o'élock the Convention was called to
order by Gov. Morgan of New York, Chair-
man of the National Committee, as follows:

On the 22d day of December last, the Re-
publican National Committee, at a meeting
convened for the purposclin the City of New
York, issued a call for a National Conven-
tion, which I will now read :

“A National Republican Convention will
meet on Wednesday, the 16th day of May
next at 12 o’clock noon, for the nominntlon
of candidate to be supported for Presxdent
and Vice President at the next election.”

He then continued as follows :

In compliance therewith the people have
sent representatives here to deliberate upon
measures for carrying into effect the object
of the call. Usage has made it my duty to
take the preliminary step toward or anizing
the Convention, upon the proceec ings of
which permit me to say the most momentous
results are depending. N 0 body _of men of
equal number was ever clothed w1tll greater
responsibility than those now within the
hearing of my voice. 3 on do not need me
to tell you, entlemeu, what thls responsibili-
ty is. WhiIe part of the adherents of the na-
tional A inistration are endeavorng to in-
sert a slav code into the party platform, an-
other portion cxprcsses its readiness to ac-
complish the same. result through the action
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
willing by indirection to do that which, if
done directly, would bring a blush even to
the check of modern democracy. While
these and other stupenduous wrongs, abso-
lutely shocking to the moral sentiment of the
country, are to be fastened upon the people
by the party in power, if its leaders are able
to bring the factions elements that compose
it into any degree ofunanlmlty, there seems
no ra of hope except in the good sense of
this ‘onvention. Let me then Invoke you
to act in a spirit of harmony, that, through
the dignity, the wisdom, and the patriotism
displayli here, you may be enabled to enlist
the hearts of the people, and strengthen them
in the facts that yours lS the Constitutional
party of the conntry,and the onlyConstitutIon-
a] party,thot you are actuated by -prlnc1ple,and
that you will be guided by the light and by
the example of the Fathers of, the Repubhc.
Fortunately, you are not required to enunci-
ate untried principles‘ofgbvemment. This
has been well and wisely done by statesmen
of the Revolution. Stand where they stood,
avowing and maintaining the like objects
and doctrines, then will the_ end. sought be
accomplished, the Constitution and the Un-
ion will be preserved, and the Government
be administered by patriots and statesmen.

Gov. Morgan then named the Hon. DAvIn
anor of Penn. for temporary President.
[Immense applause] Carried unamm' ously.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

‘ The “ Wigwam” was again crowded to
overflowing—a flood of people' pouring in
through every door as soon as it was opened ‘
filling the Hall almost instantly within dense-
ly-packed mass from the platform to the
doors. ‘ 1 _ .
Mr. Lownr of Pennsylvania reported-that
the BOard of Trade had prepared a large fleet'
for an excursion on the lakc,aud would wait till
6 o’clock for the Convention. He moved that
the Convention attend the excursion at 6
,o’clock. Lost, amid applause from the body
of the hall. .

Mr. HORTON of Ohio, from the Committee

t The report was received with loud up"
plause. . ~'

The Hon. Preston King of N cw York and
Carl Schurz of Wisconsin were appointed a
Committee to conduct the President to the
chair. ' . - ' -

Mr AsmmN, on taking the chair, was greet-'
ed with immense applause,,the delegates ris
ing and giving him six hearty cheers. When
order was restored, he spoke as follows:

GENTLEMEN on THE CONVENTION, REPUB-
LICANS AND AMERICANS :» My first duty is to
express to you my deep sense of this distin-
guished mark of your confidence; and in the
spirit in which it is off ed I accept of it. I
am sensible of the diffic ties which surround
the position, but I am cheered and. sustained
by the faith that the same generosity which.
brought me here will carry melhxmgh the
- ‘ commas. '-’I will not shrink .
from the position, which-is at the same time
the post. of danger as well as of honor. [Ap-
plause] Gentlemen, we have come here to-
day. at the call of the country, from widely-
separated homes, to fulfill a great and impor-
tant duty. ' No ordinary call has brought us
together. Nothing but a momentous ques-
tion would have called this vast multitudeto.
gather—nothing but the deep sense of dan-
ger into which the Government is fast run-
ning,could have rallied the people thus inthis
city to-day, for the purpose of rescuing the
Government from the deep degradation into
which it has fallen. [Loud applause] We
have come here at the call of the country, for
the purpose of preparing for the-most solemn
duty that freemen can perform. Wcare here.
in our ordinary capacity as delegates of the
people to prepare for the formation and car-
rying on of a new Administration, and with
the. help of God we will do it. [Loud ap-
plause] No mere controversy about miser-
able abstractions brought us here to day.—
Wc do not come here on any idle question.
The sacrifice which we have made in an ex-
tended journey,and the time we have devoted
to it, would not have been made except on
some solemn call. The stem looks which I
see on every face, and the earnest behavior
which has been manifested in all the-prehm-
inary discussions, show that all havc a true
and deep sense of the solemn pbllgatlons
are resting upon us. Gentlemen It doesfnot
belong to me to make any extended address,
but rather to assist in the details of- .the busi-
ness which belongs to~the Convention; but
allow me to say. I think we have'a right here
to-day, in the name of the American people,
to impeach the Administration of ourGene-
ral Government of the highest crimes that
can be committed against a constitutional
Government, against a free people, and
against humanity. [ProlOnged cheers] The
catalogue of its crimes it is not for me tore-
citc—it is written on every page of the his-
tory of the present Administration of the
Government, and I care not how many paper
protests the President may send in to the
House of Representatives. [Laughter and
applause] We here, as a grand inquest of
the nation, will find out for him and his con—
federates, not only a punishment, temble and
sure, but a remedy that shall be satisfactory.
[Loud up louse] Before proceeding to buSI—
ness, the onvcntion will allow me tqcon-
gratulate you and the people on the strlkmg .
features which, I think, must have been no-
ticed by everybody who has mixed 111 the
preliminary discussions of- the people who
have gathered in this beautiful city—it Is that
brotherly kindness and generous emulation
which has marked every conversation and
every discussion; showing a desire for noth-
ing save the cormtry’s good. Earnest, warm,
generous preferences are expressed, ardent
hopes and found purposes are declared,,but
not during the three days I hays spent among
you all have I heard One unkmd word utter-
by one man against another: I had It as an
augury of success, and if, during the proceed—
ings of the Convention, you will unite to per-
petuate that feeling and allow it to prevadc all
your proceedings. I declare to you it will be
the surest and brightest omen of our success
whoever may be the standard-bearer in the

rest contest that is pending. [Applause]
In that spirit, gentlemen, let us now proceed
to business-to the great work which the
American people have given into our hands
to do. [Loud cheers]
