ONE THING .SETTLED.—0ur opponents
who profess to be so ignorant of the personal
character of the Republican candidate for
' President, may consider one thing as settled,
viz: he is a firm and consistent temperance
man—in fact, a cold water man, and nothing
else—tide the following from the Baltimore
Patriot:
“ This morning we met one of the delegates
to the late Chicago Convention, who inform-
ed us that the committee who were appoint-
ed to convey to Mr. Lincoln the official notice
' of his nomination as their candidate for Pre-
sident, repaired to Springfield, Illinois, in the
fulfillment of this duty. He stated that Mr.
Lincoln resides in a comfortable mansion in
. the suburbs of the city, and as the committee
proceeded to his residence,they attracted much‘
attention. His neighbors, knowing that Mr.
Lincoln was a strictly temperance man, at
once dispatched their servants with waiters
covered with bottles of wine, brandy, whisky
&c., to enable him to Offer what they conceiv-
ed was proper to these distinguished guests.
Mr. Lincoln met these servants who had the
charge of these refreshments and requested
them to say to his friends and neighbors that
he duly appreciated their kindness, but he
could not consent to violate a long establish-
ed rule of conduct, and that he should treat
‘ his guests with plentiful drauglits of delicious
and pure ice water.”

W The sobbings and cryings of the poor
old Farmer are such as to excite the commis-
eration and pity Of its worst enemies. Even
our staid and frigid friend of the Standard,
we should think would be overcome with
pity and dissolve in sympathy over his for-
lorn, wretched, and miserable condition. It-
says as plainly as it dare say it : “Gentlemen,
we are compelled to go for Breckenridge to
save the Collectorship, and we dare not go
against Douglas,'if we do, we shall lose our
paper and all our business. We go there-
fore, (and cntreat all good democrats to do
the same,) for a union of all the friends of
Breckenridge, Douglas, Bellvacrctt, and
Sam Houston, in one grand succotash ticket,
that we may have the more loop-holes to
skulk into, in saving our defenceless head
from foes without and foes within 1" The
suggestion is capital, opportune ; in fact, iii-
genious, but, we are sorry to say, not orb/incl,
inasmuch as the bland and facetious Barnum
——hc Of infinite resource, Shams and ham-
bugs—conceived and consummated the grand
ideal, when he conglomeratcd his “Happy
Family.” The great Showman, with all his
wealth of originality and invention, proba-
bly never imagined that the necessities of the
times and the “safety of this blessed Union,"
would ever carry his principle into the poll-
tics of the “ united, harmonious Democracy”
of this great and glorious country. But the
times change, and we change with the times.
Owls, Hawks, Terriers, Monkeys, Doves,
Guinea Pigs, Hedge-Hogs, Rats, Cats, and
Porcupines, under one common instinct that
they are doomed, turn tail to each otlicr,and,
yearning only to escape from their captors,
,dwell in comparativc'liannony! Inasmuch,
then, as all sorts of ravenous beasts, quadru-
peds and birds, both clean and unclean, have
been made to dwell within an iron cage with-
out devouring cach other, why may not the
rapacious democracy be cooped in the same
way? It strikes us favorably ; it is unique.
J nst fancy the “old public functionary,” Sllr
ting demurely like a snow white owl, in one
corner of the ’cagc, twisting off his neck in
watching the nimble gyrations of the mon-
key-like Douglas stationed in the opposite
comer, with all the while a suspicious squint
over the left shoulder towards his forced ally
Breckenridge. Then comes Bell-Everett and
Sam Houston, skipping about with jealous
eye upon their more jealous fellow prisoners,
who, realizing , the utter inability of escape,
have settled down in the hopelessness of des—
pair, and only show their teeth and growl,
but do not bite. “ Red spirits and white,
black spirits and grcyj” “double, double, toil
and trouble,” “ for a charm Of powerful
trouble, like a hell—broth boil and bubble.”
The weather IS‘llOt, there is comfort to the
Farmer in the Macbeth arrangement—our
sympathies are enlisted in behalf 'Of our dis-
tracted cotempora‘ry—his case, is involuntari-
ly suggestive of Milton’s arch fiend—
“Which way I fly is hell,
Myself am hell."
Come on then, gentlemen, all together, we
are strong enough to whip you all out, and
really hope to have a united enemy to com-
bat. .

A Goon MOVE—The Borough officers at
their meeting on Saturday, appointed Col. F.
St. John Lockwood a committee to attend to
the procuring and placing of an iron pipe iii-
to the river on the north-west abutment of
the Bridge,adjoining the GAZETTE BUILDING,
said pipe to be so constructed that the suction
of our engines can be securely attached, and
thus, in case of need, water be drawn rom
the river below. That this can be effectively
accomplished is demonstrated by the fact that
the little Guy A: W'est pump just put up in
the same place, draws up water with the
greatest case. Our present condition in case
of a fire, would be truly deplorable, and we
trust this important and opportune commis-
sion will be promptly executed by the Col.

SHOCKINGLY BURNED.—-A little errand
boy in the employ of L. P. Allis, at his Ho-
tel in this Village, named John Bulgcr, was
most shockingly burned by the explosion of
a can containing a small quantity of that
sum of all invented villainics,fluid. He was
filling a lamp and had set a lighted candle at
a considerable distance from the can which
he held in his hand, but the vapor emitted
must have caught the candle flame, as the
can was blown to fragments and the lad en-
veloped in a sheet of fire from his eyes to
his knees. In this condition he ran scream-
ing from the kitchen to the room Of Mrs. Al-
lis, who, with a presence Of mind and a lie-
roism worthy of all praise, instantly wrapped
the boy tightly about with her own skirts,
and entirely smothered the flames. That
she escaped herself a terrible burning is a
wonder to all, as her own clothing was of
light fabrics, easy to ignite, but she providcn-
tially escaped all injury, and has the proud
satisfaction Of having saved the life of the
poor lad, who, though terribly burned, will
probably recover. He *as conveyed by Mr.
Allis to his new quarters at the Union House
in New Haven, whither the family were In 0-

RICH DRY Goons—We have hitherto
forcborne. to make. allusion to the first class
Dry Goods House of Morris Ik- Doty, from
the simple fact of their being the occupants
of the GAZETTE BUILDINo, but upon reflec-
tion we do not believe this fact should mill
itatc against their receiving the advantages
of the largest publicity, when, as we honest-
ly believe, the public interests are involved,
as well as their own. That they have, in all
respects, a Metropolitan Store, is a fact potent
to every lady who has visited them. In the
qualities, styles and varieties of their goods,
probably no establishment. outside. of Broad-
way cm surpass them. The need Of such a
store, where rich goods, aswcll as the. more
staple fabrics could he obtained, has long
been felt, and it is a fact well known to all
our merchants that thousands of dollars are
an ially “shopped out” in New York city,
for the better class of goods, which Would
have been expended at home, had the dc-
sircd fabrics been kept on hand in any rca‘
sonable variety. But while these gentlemen
[my special regard to first. class goods, they
Ityuo means lose sight of the cheaper quali-
fies demanded by the “economical million."
Mic have thus briefly alluded to their estab-
lishment with a view of inducing our read-
ers in want of Dry Goods to give them a call,‘
confident that an acquaintance will at least
induce the conviction that these merchants,
though comparative strangers, are honorable,
high minded gentlemen themselves, whatev-
er may be said of their goods.

last week. First came Barman & Nixon’s
great Bear Show and Circus. The animal
part was very fine—the bufialo a great curi-
osity—Old Adams and Barnum who were
present, great lions. The Circus was one of
the best ever exhibited in Norwalk.
A tight rope performer and neeromancer
performed for two evenings at Lyncs’ Hall,
meantime. He walked a wire stretched
across from the roof be old Thomas property
to Isaacs’ Block each night, and finally per-
formed the still more hazardous feat of walk-
ing off without paying the printer.
The show ofNiblo & Sloat came next gnd
the circus part was well acquitted. They all
drew full audiences, of course, and tickled the
“common masses" prodigiously.

a Sail Boat Regatta at Gregory's Point, and

one Of our iiwzleikles, who has been on the

cious movements of a well organizcd
company of men, a majority of whom seem
to have their general rendezvous in and
about South Norwalk. Within the past
week it has been ascertained that a very fast
sailing schooner, with raking masts, &c., has
been chartered, that large quantities of
stores, supplies, rockets, torpedoes, and am-
munihbn, have been purchased, preparatory
to being placed on board said schooner.—
Their secret meetings after nightfall, and
general clandestine proceedings, taken in
connection with the fact that the leaders of
the movement have but recently come among
us, naturally excite grave suspicions as to the
Object and character Of their designs.
P. S.—-It is just ascertained to be the pres-
ent intent of this thoroughly organized band
to embark on Monday night, or early on the
morning of Tuesday the 24th. We shall
keep a sharp look-out for their maneuverings,
and will thank any one who will aid us in
fathoming the mysterious action of these
men.

enough to produce intoxication" comes with
in the Excise Law of 1857—Judgcs Comstock
and Dcnio only dissenting. It had been held
that “ale and strong beer” are included in
the term “strong or spirituous liquors,” as
used iii the ,excise law; and even flint the
word “beer" comes within the statute. The
court now, however, lays down the following
rule:
“But one safe and sensible line of distinc-
tion can be drawn between the different kinds
of liquor containing alcohol, in order to de-
termine upon which of them the statute was
intended to operate; and that is, between
those which are capable of causing intoxica-
tion and those containing so small a percent-
age Of alcohol that the human stomach can-
not contain suflicicnt of the liquid to produce
that efleet as is said tobe the case with spruce
beer, ginger beer, lager bier, and some
others." .

'Ihe Contest between Breckinridge and
Douglas.
The contest between Messrs. Breckiuridgc
and Douglass has no reference whatever to
the result ofthe Presidential election in N o-
vember. The leaders of both sides frccl y
i‘,admit that question has nothing to do with
and that nothingis wantingbut to go through
the forms of voting to complete Mr. Lin-
coln’s success. The first struggle is for the
control of the future organization of the
party, and nothing more. The design
is to crush Mr. Douglas out. entirely,
and leave him powerless hereafter.
the 4th of March next, he will be solitary and
alone in the Senate, as Mr. Pugh has already
been voted into exile by Ohio, and no other
has espoused his cause. The Breckinridge
Executive Committee having abundant com-
mand of means, and control of the official
corps throughout the country, intend to or-
ganize independently in every State, and to
run an electoral ticket which will not he with-
drawn orcompromised by any bargain. They
are in for the war, and to the knife, and have
notified temporizing followers in Pennsylva-
nia, New Jersey and New York, that no fu-
sion or combination ticket will be accepted
on any terms. The consider any tempora-
ry coalition as calcu ated to demoralize their
ultimate object, while it is incapable of effect-
ing any present advantage. This general
purpose will soon be announced in a more
authoritative form—Special Washington. Dr's-
patch to the Tribune.
The ingenious project of certain wircpul-
lers to make a fusion of electors for Breckin:
ridge and Douglas in certain states finds no
favor at all from the administration demo-
crats. Such ascheme, in their opinion,would
only lead to political jockeying, which ought
not to be countenanced, and would certainly
only demoralize the party wherever it should
be attempted—Herald’s Washington. Letter.
'The lungs, Register, Farmer, Aurora and
Star will please take notice. Pray do some-
thing gentlemen. Come out for Douglas
and lose your federal pap, or go for Breckin-
ridge and receive pay as heretofore. The
republicans would be glad to “draw a head”
on you somewhere. They don’t like bush-
figlitiiig. You see that your begging the
Douglas men to take you in all shares don't.

WA vivacious correspondent, writing
from New York to the Hartford Press, thus
hits of the new paper just started at the
great Metropolis :
Almost simultaneously with the entry of
the Princes into our city came out a new
daily called The World. Indeed, so coinci-
dent were the two events, that a great many
innocent people thought there was Inore in
it than met the public eye, and sagcly surmi-
sed that the Tycoon had established a spec-
ial organ in America. This suspicion, seems,
however, to lack any real foundation. The
infant newspaper is very large and very
cheap, typographically neat, tolerably pious,
has a strong leaning Lincoln-ward, displays
a good deal of miscellaneous learning, and
corresponds with every known capital on
the globe. Rumor stoutly maintains that it
is backed by a quarter of a million of dollars,
and that it is determined to achieve a success
and an influence which will make it the
monarch of the metropolitan press. Never-
theless, I do not believe that all life good peo-
ple are going to stop the Tribune, nor that
all the wicked ones will refrain from pern-
sing the Herald, nor even that many of that
large class which is neither very good nor
very wicked will all at once decline to pay
their inatutinal two cents for the Times.

THE NEW YORK LIQUOR DEALERS Asso-
CIATION is an organization which years ago
boasted of having a fund of $100,000, and
ever since the sum has been increasing, until
it has become a powerful mouicd association
bidding defiance to the execution of laws to
restrain liquor selling in New York City.—
Its aim is to stand between the weakest of
the 7000 grog-sellers comprising the. Associa-
tion, and the execution ofthe law, which, if
enforced, would entirely shut up a portion of
these “nurseries of crime,” and would effec-
tually close the remainder on Sunday. The
grand jury have presented the Liquor Deal-
ers Association as a nuisance and misdemean-
or, undcr the following law:
“I f two or more persons shall cons ire to commit
any act injurious to the public heath, the public
morals, or to trade or commerce, or for the preserva-
tion or obstruction of justice, or the true administra-
tion of the laws, they shall be guilty of a misdemean-
.or."—Rev. Statute, part 4, chap. 1, title 5, sec. 8.
The Grand Jury state that, were it not for
this association, the laws could be enforced,
making unlicensed liquor selling a misde-
meanor, and that the fines thus imposed, if
collected. would be equal to the entire tax of
the county, enormous as it is.

At the police Court this morning he testified
against them, and they were each fined a dol-
lar and costs, making $3.47 for each to pay.
But Blackford found that he had only just
begun business. Judge Gilmer struck out
from each bill the 40 cents which Blackford
might claim as a witness fee, issued a bench
warrant, brought him up for selling liquor,
and fined him $20 dollars and costs, the whole
being $22.47—which he paid. Excellently
well done—Hartford Press.

A President on the Stump-

ident is nearly all gone. In the hands of the
present incumbent it has suffered daily loss,
and now, as Buchanan himself testily remark-
ed, the ofllce will soon be beneath the accep-
tance Of any respectable man. Soiled by the
corruptions of the present executive, of whom
even his own party are. ashamed, a final
blow is now struck to its dignity by the ap-
pearanceof the President as a stump speaker
for a partizan purpose. The President. is
supposed to be the President of all parties,
and thc early presidents would have scorned
to make stump speeches in a. political cani-

“In entering upon the canvass of 1860 we
do so with buoyant hopes. In holding, the
first ratification meeting in favor of the domi-
nation of the Republican party, in a slave
state, we take the lead ofa host of freemen
throughout the Union. “’0 have infinitely
more at stake in this contest than the people
of any other state. This you will all admit.
We, being in Missouri, have a mission before.
us, not only to prevent the extension of slave-
ry' in the territories of the United States, but
we have to enfranchise Missouri. (Applause
and cries of ‘we‘ll do it, foo.’)"

The Erie Railroad to be sold.
Under a foreclosure of the fifth mortgage
of the Erie Railroad Company, by recent de-
cree of the Supreme Court ot‘New York, the
entire road is advertised for sale at auction
November 20111. This foreclosure, which is
probably the final step in the re-organization
of the Company, as authorized by acts of the
New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Legislatures is rendered easy and agreeable
to all the interests involved, inasmuch as ur-
rangements are understood to have been
made for the final redemption of that part of
the pust due second mortgage bonds,
(amounting to about $2,000,000) the holders
of which have insisted on prompt payment
in cash of principle and interest. These par-
ties being satisfied, the other creditors of the
road come in for their pro rata. -

3.5"“ Common sense rules the mass of the people,
whatever the misnamcd and misauthropic philoso-
phersmay say to the contrary. Show them a good
thing; let its merits be clearly demonstrated, and
they will not hesitate to give it their most cordial
patronage. The masses have already ratified the
judgement of a physician, concerning the virtues of
HosTETTI-zns BITTERs, as may be seen in the immense
quantities of this medicine that are annually sold in
every section of the land. It is now recognized as
greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for
diseases of the digestive organs, such as diarrhea,
dysentery, dyspepsia, and for the various fevers that
arise from derangement of those portions of the sys-

PROF. Woonis HAIR REs'roxIATIvn.—This Restora-
tive for making the hair grow, stoppinw Its falling out
and restoring grav hair to its origimi’l color, is be-
coming celebrated. All the quack nostmms are giv-
ing way before it. Three fourths of the mixtures for
restoring and beautifying the hair, do it more injury
than good. They burn it up—dcstro the life of Its
rootsL—niake the hair fall off, and pro uce premature
baldness. But Prof. Wood‘s Restorative may be re-
lied upon as containing nothing which can in any
manner be injurious to the hair, while its success
in accomplishing what it pretends to do as has been
verified in hundreds of cases. We advise gray heads
and heads getting bald—all who wish to save their
wool or obtain a new stock, to get a bottle of Wood’s
Restorative—N. Y. Democrat.

Have You a Diseased Liver ?
The question, though startling, is suffi-
cicntly suggestive when the fact is taken
into consideration that diseases of the. Liver
have become most alarmingly frequent in the
United States. Indeed, there are few formid-
able discases that are not in some way trace-
able to a deranged state of that important
organ. Many Of the complaints usually
classed under the head of Consumption, have.
their origin in the Liver. “ An. remedy
that. would insure regularity and healthful
notion in the Liver, would be ablessmg to
mankind !” has been the exelamatnm of thon-
sands. That remedy has been found; it is
safe and sure. When a fair trial has been af-
forded it, it has never been known to fail.
